I Don’t Wanna Grow Up I’m A Toys-R-Us CiC
THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!
“You know, that was actually probably the most emotional speech that I’ve made, in terms of how I felt about it …”
That is because he didn’t believe what he was saying through the half that the ‘conservative’ talking-heads gave him credit for afterward.
To that fact, these are the most telling quotes:
“… That there’s unfinished business. And, you know, I think that one of the mistakes that was made over the last eight years is for us to have a triumphant sense about war …”
Exactly what other “sense about war” SHOULD we, and most importantly those young cadets and their C.O.s sitting there … AND those troops currently serving in the war(s) have about war? If their CiC cannot rally the troops/military to have a ‘triumphant sense about war’ they HAVE NO GOAL in war and will die and lose.
This guy couldn’t coach a sports team, pro or pee-wee, for petessakes!
“… This is a tough business. And there are tough costs to it …”
Yeah, I believe somewhere in the 8 years Obama is so fond of pointing out as to blame for his current job Pres. GW Bush pointed out this new beast of war was not going to be easy … it would be a long hard fight with many lives lost. For all Obama’s bloated sense of ‘mopping-up’ of the last administration he seems to be conveniently washing his hands of the most important job of POTUS (a job he sooo wanted), and that is CiC of our military … war or no war.
He’s not the first POTUS/CiC to “inherit” a war he didn’t start. And I don’t seem to recall (although I was a kid) Pres. Nixon blaming JFK or LBJ for Vietnam when HE took over and had to fight that war. Truman finished the last half of FDR’s war with two big-bangs, as I recall …
But Obama appears to be the first POTUS more than ready and willing to lose a war.
This man is petty at best, extremely dangerous for us and more importantly our military at worse.
