Some Interesting Opinions

By Semperpapa

Newsmax.com has an article that I found very interesting regarding some statements made by a high ranking USAF officer about President Obama.
The officer is the Senior Military Aid for Bill Clinton, retired Lt.Col. Robert Patterson, which should disqualify him from membership in the vast right wing conspiracy so dear to the Clintons’ hearts.

In an interview with Newsmax, Patterson is of the opinion that Jodie Evans, a close friend of Obama and one of the largest fundraisers for his candidacy, should be prosecuted for treason in relation to her efforts to aid the enemies of America.

I have written about this woman before in relation to a fundraiser she organized for California gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown couple of months ago.
The controversy arises from the fact that Evans is the founder of the anti-Military, anti-America organization called Code Pink. In such capacity, Evans was able, few years back, to raise $600,000 that was delivered to the insurgency fighting the American Military in Iraq.
For just such action, I must agree strongly with Patterson’s assertion that the woman should be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting the enemy of our Nation.

The shenanigans of Evans are well known, but with the current atmosphere of corruption that has completely taken over the Justice Department, no common sense person would ever expect that one of the biggest fundraisers for Obama, not to mention a welcomed guest of the Obamas at the White House, will ever get as much as an informal investigation, at least not as long as Holder and the current circus endures.

The interview with Patterson also shed some interesting light on the issue of morale among our troops deployed in Afghanistan.

Patterson goes as far as declaring Obama guilty of “conduct unbecoming” as he has been making every possible attempt to destroy the Military as an institution. He cites as proof of his assertion the push for the repeal of the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy instituted by his old boss.

Granted that the policy was instituted when he was Sr. Military Aid, which somewhat personalizes his support for it, Patterson still makes some valid points regarding the efforts for its repeal.

In the first place, he predicts that approximately 25% of the Military force would just plain leave as, he states, “they would not want to put up with all the issues and problems.”

Another point well taken is that Patterson believes that engaging in such a high profile social engineering project in the Military at a time when the Country is involved in a war against terrorism is definitely not a good idea.

“He’s trying to change the Military culture,” Patterson says. “He’s trying to remake the military culture much in his own image, much in the image of the radicals he associates himself with”.

Those are pretty substantial accusations coming from a retired Lieutenant Colonel, but they are indeed the same accusations that the majority of those who, like me, took a dissenting interest in Obama even before his election to the Presidency, have been making for over two years.
I have said it repeatedly that Obama did not have what was necessary to be a President, let alone a wartime President, either because he just does not have the capacity to understand what it really means to have the responsibility for the safety and security of the Nation, or because the man just does not care enough to immerse himself in annoying issues regarding our men and women in uniform.
Obama’s main focus, central point of interest is the transformation of our country in the Progressive utopia that he envisions himself being king of.
According to Patterson, the level of confidence of our men and women in uniform in the commitment of their Commander-in-Chief to see their effort victorious is at an all time low. They do not get the warm feeling that their top commander is at all interested in victory, to the point that the President cannot even bring himself to utter the very word.

Our men and women in uniform and risking their lives on a hourly base in the inhospitable terrains of Iraq and Afghanistan are doing so having lost the trust in their Commander-in-Chief that is paramount to the successful completion of their mission, to the point that their commander cannot even identify the enemy by name as Islamic fundamentalists.
Yet, these amazing men and women continue to achieve the objectives they are asked by their local commanders with professionalism, fulfilling the oath they swore to as they entered the Military, the same oath that Obama has betrayed every day since he took it.

Just my thoughts!
