Would You Trust a President Barack Obama to Protect America After Another 9/11?

Because of His Radical Positions and Displays of Poor Judgment, I Would Not

Let us hope it never happens. Let us pray it never happens. Nevertheless, let us imagine, for a moment what could happen in the future. Let us imagine a second 9/11 has happened on American soil. Maybe this attack was not as bad as the one in 2001; maybe it was far worse, with tens of
 thousands, or more, being killed. Would you feel comfortable with a President Barack Obama to defend the country after this act of murder on American soil? I know I don't. I'll tell you why.

Before I even begin, I can almost hear some saying an article like this is outrageous. How dare I try use the politics of fear to try to scare people into not voting for Obama, someone whom you believe is a good, honest man? I would just say that while I do not want Hillary Clinton as President either (I won't ever vote for her), her television commercials in Pennsylvania before the April 22 primary in which she beat Obama, made valid points. It is valid to consider what any person would do, if there were another 9/11/, another Pearl Harbor, another Stock Market Crash, followed by another Great Depression, while he or she would be the leader of the free world. That does not mean I would trust Hillary a great deal either in an emergency, but the point is valid to consider.

That also does not mean that the major reason I would not trust a President Obama if there were another 9/11 in America is his inexperience, because there are far more important reasons to me to be concerned about him. After all, although he might handle such a situation poorly, and I do not trust him, who knows, maybe he might surprise me and do well? After all, did one of our greatest Presidents-Lincoln, have little experience before he was elected? I would personally prefer someone with more experience, but that is not my biggest concern.

I do not trust his judgment, at least partially because of some of the extreme positions he has advocated. As reported in the Washington Post, not only would he give up the fight and cut and run as America searches for terrorists in Iraq, he has also said he might unilaterally send troops into Pakistan to find terrorists.

Correction: 'Not saluting the flag' should be changed to 'refusing to salute the flag.'

One more point. Obama's statement was: "If Pakistan does not or is not willing to act ... " I suppose people think that if one of our drones spot Osama, we should tell the Pakistan government. Why? So that they could assist Osama in finding a new hideout? That is what would happen. Is it better to let Osama go free? I think the criticism of Obama's statement is a total contradiction to the position of Republicans. Any candidate that would let Osama slip away or give the Pakistan military the chance to protect Osama will not get my vote. And that includes McCain. Not killing Osama immediately when he is spotted by a drone is just plain stupid.

There are countless falsehoods about Obama. Not saluting the flag is a falsehood. Calling him a radical is an falsehood. Questioning his patriotism is shameful and totally unjustified. I have every confidence that Obama will respond swiftly to another 9/11. I also think that another 9/11 is much more likely with the 'don't talk to our enemies' policy that the current admiinstration has embraced. Did you know that the US is now strongly considering talks with the Taliban? Obama made it clear that he wants to talk to Iran to make demands and threaten more sanctions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with talking to our enemies. Without talks, we cannot win the war on terror. Forget the fantasy of winning the Iraq war in four years if winning means peace between Shiites and Sunnis that have killed each other for the last 1500 years. That is not victory. That is perpetual war.

I cannot believe that a Christian can call Israel a horrible nation. They are the chosen ones and the bible is playing out just like it always does. We as Christians cannot turn our back on God's people. They are trying to survive, have you read the history of that tiny nation?? God will step in before HIS nation is destroyed. This election is one of the most terrible times for our country. As I look at the candidates and wonder about the caliber of people in this great country and this is what we have to choose from. SAD very very SAD.

Sheryl: You seem like a kind person however Israel is not your child, Israel is a horrible nation committing unspeakable crimes, daily and you're blindly supporting this evil based on your incorrect interpretations of the bible. It makes me unbearably sad that so many good people like yourself are being taken advantage of by Israel, Zionists and your own religious snake oil salesman. You're taking the world to the bring of extinction because you need something to believe in and you simply don't have that right.

You dont know the first thing about Israels creation b/c when you speak of terrorists shedding innocent blood, I'm assuming you mean the Jewish terrorists who spent 60 years killing and slaughtering and maiming and raping and filling mass graves with Palestinians. What I find really bizarre is how reasonable you can be when concluding that you can still love you country while not loving everything it's ever done, that is a very truthful and sincere comment and one that I understand wholeheartedly but, when it comes to Israel you put these really offensive glasses on that make you blind, ignorant and fanatical.I have never seen or studied or witnessed anything like the concept of 'Israel' turn perfectly decent, kind, good people into hatefilled, genocidal,irrational, non-sensical religious extremists.

The fact that you keep quoting 'god' is offensive, you American Evangelical Zionist End of Timers are the most dangerous group of religous fanatics on the planet. Facts and historical accuracy mean nothing to you sheep;Israel is NOT the only democracy in the MidEast Turkey and Lebanon are democracies, Afghanistan is not a democracy but, you'd know that if you'd ever read anything credible;Karzai is simply a puppet dictator and former oil executive.Iraq is not a democracy because the Iraqis dont have full ownership & control of their nation and wont be a democracy ever thanks to you Americans because you built SHaria law into their constitution. I wrote an article about it, you should read it although it will just go in one ear and out the other and you'll simply return to your belief system built on nothing.

Thanks for defending Israel, Mike.

'(Iran) Maybe even attack the United States'...you're a pea brain nut job and your extremism and ignorant are dangerous. The United States & Israel are the only ones doing the attacking,threatening and killing and only two in this scenerio with nuclear weapons but, it's Iran who is the threat? Keep drinking the koolaid. Lunacy come from irrationality, that makes you the lunatic. What rubbish you people build your lives on, it's time for full out war to come to your vile showers, once and for all. Who the hell gave you people the kind of arrogance and ignorance to kill so many innocent people. Israel is top reason fo 9/11 and you think you're the victims? Spare me. According to you 'radical' is redefined as not being an ignorant, crazed, war hungry lunatic.
