Do We Really Want This Guy to be President?

Mr. Hope & Change, Barak Obama, told an anecdote in a debate the other night about an American army captain in Afghanistan who says he had to poach ammunition from a captured soldier because he didn't have enough. You can read people who support this version here, here, and here (moonbats, attack!)

But, as The Weekly Standard points out, units virtually always deploy missing something or other, including some units and/or ammunition. Dan Collins at Protein Wisdom says Obama should apologize for the whole thing.

But here's my point. We already have Obama's wife admitting she's not patriotic and we have Obama showing he knows absolutely nothing--nothing--about the military, particularly in a time of war. And, psst, Barry (as my sister calls him), we're gonna be at war for a long time, regardless of what you tell the moonbats at your rallies.

Personally, I don't want a president who doesn't think America is the best thing on earth. I don't want a president who doesn't think meeting with the U.S. president is an honor and privilege. And I don't want a president who says gobbledegook like this about foreign policy:



Of the candidates left, John McCain is the only one who has met our enemies and knows that winning wars is more than just retreating when it is convenient. When McCain tells the hard truth--that we might be in Iraq for 100 years--it's not because he is relentlessly negative, but because he understands our security needs.

Unfortunately, like most Democrats, Mr. Hope and Change doesn't get that. Until the next attack. Then he--and moonbats--will try to blame Republicans. As usual.

UPDATE: Karl at Protein Wisdom smacks down Josh Marshall's idiotic claim that the military, somehow, doesn't have the right to defend itself against scurrilous and political accusations from the white flag wavers of the Left.
