Obama Apologizes Unapologetically

Barack Hussein Obama continues his university tour, denouncing the profit motive, continues to blame America for Muslim hostility because our lack of evenhanded treatment of Palestinians and rough treatment of terrorists, and expresses our collective mea culpas for a couple of centuries of continuing racist oppression including the original sin of slavery (notwithstanding that US voters put a black man in the highest office). At the Naval Academy graduation, Obama takes great credit for the termination of teenage pirates that many police department SWAT teams could have handled, and reports exist that Obama actually restrained the Navy in the operation, delaying the rescue of Captain Phillips. Notwithstanding Obama's braggadocio about an operation any American President would be duty bound to authorize, our Commander in Chief told the Navy that he was a peacenik who would only use them basically as a last resort. The United States Navy is an instrument crafted from the start as the tip of the spear to project power. From Commodore Matthew Perry who opened Japan to the West, to Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet that after America crushed a European empire in the Spanish-American War, proved we were a naval power with worldwide reach, our navy has been the instrument of aggressive foreign policy necessary in our world of realpolitik, the iron fist that is sheathed in the velvet glove of our diplomacy. Obama does not understand the function of the military which can not be composed of group huggers suffering any crisis of conscience about what whale their sonar deafens, or what Afghan family serving bin Laden tea, their cruise missile kills. Billions are spent on the navy to project US power, protect American interests, and ultimately when necessary to kill our enemies. People who attain the status of officers in our forces are not in the main, naive of their purpose. The military mission of any nation is an inherently bloody one- if threatened violence fails to persuade determined opponents-real violence must be employed to destroy them. Profit is how one improves the lot of one's family and future prospects-not a sin, crime, or shame, except in like thinkers of Obama's warped world. Islamic animus to the US is not our fault, we defended Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo while our geographically closer NATO allies abdicated humanitarian obligations and once again countenanced genocide in their backyard. Europe pontificated and America's military under Clinton acted to end the bloodshed that the rest of Europe was too weak or timid to stop. We liberated fifty million Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq. We did not obliterate the hosts of al Qaeda's murder plot in Afghanistan but freed them and tried to improve their way of life. We put a halt to Saddam Hussein's genocide of Kurds, brutal suppression of Shias including the marsh Arabs who by in large were and still are more loyal to Iran than their native nation of Iraq, and we put paid to any notion of Saddam, who will rank with Pal Pot in the realm of cold hearted mass murderers, ever attempting territorial expansion again as he had done in Kuwait and attempted against Saudi Arabia as he penetrated Khafji in the 1991 Gulf War, or any potential WMD production that Saddam no doubt wished for, if only as a hedge against Iran and a chemical sword over the head of Israel. As for the special US relationship with Israel, Obama may well be on the way to ending, the Jewish state is the only pluralistic, tolerant democracy in the Middle East. The Palestinian people in their diaspora have proven to be treacherous and ungrateful neighbors, rebelling against Jordan, causing civil war in Lebanon, creating strife everywhere, serving as Saddam's local muscle against their generous former hosts when Saddam seized Kuwait, and forming the backbone of some of Saddam's suicide commandos when America liberated Iraq. Balanced treatment between a largely genocidal populace (the Palestinian Muslims) who are openly hostile to America and who want no peace with the Jews, only their destruction and the bastion of Western values in the Middle East (Israel) is counterproductive at best. Our so-called torture of terrorists must have produced the desired results as there has not been a successful large scale attack on the "Homeland" since September 11, 2001. A wise President would not express remorse to the world for his nation protecting herself from wanton, nihilistic evil. And as far as the US being racist, bigot, homophobes-we elected a mixed race leader, arguably our two most watched celebrities, are the Oprah and Will Smith, and the perversion of marriage is spreading like wildfire with six (sick) states now welcoming homosexual union. As an American, I apologize for one thing, that so many of my neighbors were duped into voting for a blame America first hater who fit comfortably in Reverend Wright's tarnished pews, and whose friendship with unapologetic terrorist Bill Ayers was no accident.
