What the British did at Taranto in WW2 is a lesson for the US today

Seventy-Five Years after Taranto  "On November 11, 1940, Britain began its long counterattack against the four great powers that dominated Eurasia – Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy – with a blow so unexpected and so devastating that military historians tend to assume that the results of that strike were inevitable.

"Until that day, the British and French were reacting to the enemy. " .  . .


. . . Our generals and admirals doubtless have many ideas after hitting the bad guys in ways that unnerve them.  These "military commanders also know how to win big victories with the least amount of blood from our soldiers.  We need a president who will support them and empower them.

"Most of all, however, we need a political leader who grasps and articulates to our people and to our allies and enemies around the world that wars – hot, warm, or cold – are fought by good nations to win and for nothing less than victory.  And victory means defeating, utterly and absolutely, those who wish us harm."

“I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one president Barack Obama when he was running. In fact, I remember just the opposite.”

"This brings up an interesting point: What are cases in the past when President Obama misstated points about his biography, but the media did not cause a national firestorm or characterize him as a pathological liar?

Satire: Wait till you see what Obama has done with the month of December

Obama Declares December As National Muslim Appreciation Month  "President Barack Obama held a press conference today to announce his decision which will make the month of December ‘National Muslim Appreciation Month’.

“ 'The Muslim community deserves our full acceptance and respect,” Obama told reporters. “We have disrespected these innocent and peaceful people in so many ways. We have killed millions of Muslims overseas since the September 11th attacks. They are not all bad. In fact most of them are good. So from now on, December will be a month to celebrate the Muslim people, the Sunnah and the Quran.”

Compare what we consider Obama capable of with what we see of Dr. Ben Carson

"Ben Carson spent a great deal of time learning medicine, and therefore likely spent the majority of his time with neurosurgeons. Call it a hunch. He also served on the boards of many businesses.

"Barack Obama has associated with marxists and terrorists: Frank Marshall Davis a communist poet, Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorn, David Axelrod and many other “questionable” people. Don’t worry. Whenever anyone found out about them, he immediately threw them under the bus."
