American Hostage Jessica Buchanan Rescused by US Navy SEALs in overnight raid in Somalia

KUDOS once again to the US Navy Seals …

US Navy Seals rescued two hostages, including kidnapped Jessica Buchanan, in a night time raid in Somalia. Buchanan had been kidnapped by Somalia pirates about three months ago. The other individual rescued was 60 year old Poul Thisted from Denmark who also was working for a Danish relief organization in northern Somalia when they were kidnapped last October.

In a daring nighttime raid Tuesday, U.S. Navy SEALs rescued two hostages, including one American, who were being held by kidnappers in Somalia, U.S. officials tell NBC News.

American Jessica Buchanan, 32, and a 60-year-old Dane, Poul Thisted, were working for a Danish relief organization in northern Somalia when they were kidnapped last October. U.S. officials described their kidnappers as heavily armed common criminals with no known ties to any organized militant group.

According to the U.S. officials, two teams of Navy SEALs landed by helicopter near the compound where the two hostages were being held.

Hats off to our US Navy Seal team heroes.

UPDATE I: Is is being reported that Seal Team 6 is the one that pulled off the daring raid, the same Seal Team that took down Bin Laden.

Barack Obama Agrees To Release Taliban Leaders From Gitmo In Exchange For Taliban Opening Office In Qatar for Peace Negotiations

How many American and NATO military heroes died so that Barack Obama could release Taliban leaders from GITMO? Try and explain your way out of this one Obama. So Obama thinks he can negotiate peace talks with terrorists. How naive and dangerous could one individual be? Yet one more item to discuss in the 2012 Presidential election … Obama’s misguided foreign policy.

More from the Barack Obama administration that believe that the Taliban is “not the enemy” of the United States. Unbelievable, Barack Obama to release Taliban terrorist leaders from GITMO. Are you serious, Obama actually does believe that the Taliban are not our enemy. Commander in Chief, eh?

The US has agreed in principle to release high-ranking Taliban officials from Guantánamo Bay in return for the Afghan insurgents’ agreement to open a political office for peace negotiations in Qatar, the Guardian has learned.

According to sources familiar with the talks in the US and in Afghanistan, the handful of Taliban figures will include Mullah Khair Khowa, a former interior minister, and Noorullah Noori, a former governor in northern Afghanistan.

More controversially, the Taliban are demanding the release of the former army commander Mullah Fazl Akhund. Washington is reported to be considering formally handing him over to the custody of another country, possibly Qatar.

What Weasel Zippers said … JAW HITTING FLOOR.

The Gateway Pundit reminds us of those peaceful Taliban and friends of the United States …

On Wednesday December 28 the Taliban blew up 3 NATO soldiers in Afghanistan.
On Thursday December 29 the Taliban blew up 10 Afghan soldiers with a roadside bomb

Barack Obama … 90 Rounds of Golf, But First Time Visiting Pearl Harbor Since Becoming President

PRIORITIES …

What is wrong with this picture? Barack Obama has played 90 rounds of golf;  however, his visit Thursday to Pear Harbor was the first time since becoming Commander in Chief. December 7, 2011 marked the 70th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the death of more than 2400 brave souls. However, President Obama was no where to be found. Yet, he manages to visit Peal Harbor for the first time in between rounds of golf and shaved ice with the family while on vacation in Hawaii. As fate would have it, there were reporters there, imagine that.

President Obama on Thursday evening made his first trip to Pearl Harbor since becoming commander in chief.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama visited the USS Arizona Memorial, where they observed a moment of silence in a room in which the names of crew members who died 70 years ago this month have been inscribed.

Obama, who visited the memorial before he was president in 2008, did not make any remarks at the memorial, according to a pool report. But he and the first lady dropped white and purple orchids into the sunken battleship.

What an example he has set as Commander in Chief. At some point this man will pay a political price for using the military as a political prop. Remember in November!

Pearl Harbor Day, 70 Years Later … A Date Which Will Always Live in Infamy

70 years ago today … It was the morning of December 7, 1941, like any other at Pearl Harbor on Hawaii , the Empire of Japan attacked the United States and the world would never be the same … it would truly be a date which would live in infamy. On this day and every day, remember the brave men and women who died that day. God bless all who died that day and the resolve of the brave men and women who would eventually be victorious.

The base was attacked by 353[10] Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers.[10] All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. All but two of the eight were raised, repaired and returned to service later in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship,[nb 2] and one minelayer. One hundred eighty-eight U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed[12] and 1,282 wounded. The power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured.

Attack at Dawn – Pearl Harbor

Check out the News Reel footage of what was seen following the treacherous attack of Pearl Harbor. This video is a must watch. See what Americans saw following the “date that will live in infamy”.

UPDATE I: Pearl Harbor survivors return on the 70th Anniversary of the date which will live in infamy.

First Lady Michelle Obama Gets Booed at NASCAR Ford 400 Race in Florida

Like we did not call this one last week when we learned that First Lady Michelle Obama was going to be co-Grand Marshall of the Ford 400, the finale NASCAR race of the season at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Michelle Obama was noticeably booed by NASCAR fans at the Ford 400. Nice try libs at ABC News, please do not lie.  It was not the “nation’s polarized political climate” that resulted in the NASCAR fans to boo Michelle Obama. It was her arrogant, elitist, dismissive husband Barack Obama who is to blame who suddenly thinks its ok to send his wife off to pander for the NASCAR vote after stated that those similar were, “bitter,” distrustful have-nots who “cling to guns or religion.”

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden were grand marshals at today’s NASCAR season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, appearing as part of their charitable campaign to support military veterans and their families.

But their benign, bipartisan cause wasn’t enough to prevent public fallout from the nation’s polarized political climate as they were introduced before the crowd.

ESPN video from the event documented loud boos from some in the stands as the announcer named Obama and Biden, seconds before they delivered the “most famous words in motorsports,” telling drivers to start their engines.

But wait, the liberal media carrying the water for President gets better, or worse as the case may be for journalistic integrity. The AP reported that Michelle Obama was not booed, instead the First Lady and Dr. Biden did receive a standing ovation at a pre-race driver’s meeting, much more in keeping with the spirit of the occasion. REALLY? Watch the VIDEO at Mediaite and hear for yourself. Sorry, but it was Sgt. Berry and the US military Veterans in the crowd that were cheered, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed.

With all due respect to Obama and his reelection minions, you are not getting the NASCAR vote and your pathetic cheap attempts of pandering will accomplish nothing. Please stop playing politics with our military, if you feel the need to pander for votes, head off to San Fransisco or maybe Occupy Wall Street.

Suffolk University Law School Professor Michael Avery Objects to Helping US Troops in Afghanistan

MOONBAT ALERT … Take a good look at what the far Left is saying in America and this whack job is teaching law to your kids.

Maybe sometimes people should use the age old adage of, if you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at at.

Hint, Suffolk University Law School professor Michael Avery, this applies to you.  The law school professor actually had the audacity to object to the college getting donations for care packages for the Unites States military troops in Afghanistan.

Michael Avery, who is a Suffolk University Law School professor, unleashed his serious objection after the Suffolk Law staff asked the students for donations to send care packages to the troops in Afghanistan, even though the email also mentioned that a student at the school is serving overseas would be one of the recipients of the care package.

Avery’s email response was recorded on the Natural Truth by Michael Graham. Here is how Michael Avery starts his email:

”I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and woman who have gone overseas to kill other human beings. I understand that there is a residual sympathy for service members, perhaps engendered by support for troops in World War II, or perhaps from when there was a draft and people with few resources to resist were involuntarily sent to battle. That sympathy is not particularly rational in today’s world, however.

The United States may well be the most war prone country in the history of civilization. We have been at war two years out of three since the Cold War ended. We have 700 overseas military bases. What other country has any? In the last ten years we have squandered hundreds of billions of dollars in unnecessary foreign invasions. Those are dollars that could have been used for people who are losing their homes due to the economic collapse, for education, to repair our infrastructure, or for any of a thousand better purposes than making war. And of course those hundreds of billions of dollars have gone for death and destruction.”

Read the rest of this lib’s law professor’s insanity HERE.

Maybe this law professor would like to tell us who defends his freedom of speech rights that allows him to rant such insanity? Let’s send this fool to China or any Muslim county and see if he is afforded the same rights.

President Barack Obama was Playing Golf Just Before Navy SEALs Took Out Bin Laden

PRIORITIES … The following will come as a surprise to no one.  He was so quick to take credit, but where was the President prior to the mission?

Good grief, Barack Obama, the Commander in Chief, was golfing prior to the US Navy SEAL mission that killed Bin Laden. According to the UK Daily Mail, Obama was golfing just 20 minutes before the Navy Seals began their mission to take out terrorist mastermind.  As reported at Town Hall, according to a new book, SEAL Target Geronimo, written by former Navy SEAL commander Chuck Pfarrer, the President was not nearly that engaged – and was actually playing golf until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest.

In the official photograph, he looked every inch the commander in chief.

Strain etched on his face, Barack Obama watched as the raid to kill Osama bin Laden played out on a television in front of him.

According to a new book, however, the President was not nearly that engaged – and was actually playing golf until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest.

Only then did he down his clubs and return to the White House to watch what he later trumpeted as a great success of his presidency.

The book claims that Obama distanced himself by golfing from the mission in case something went wrong. You review what he has done the last 3 years as President and make the call.

Mr Pfarrer says the President’s role was largely inflated and suggests he stayed out on the golf course for so long so he could distance himself in case it went wrong. Mr Pfarrer writes: ‘If this had completely gone south, he was in a position to disavow.’

Why Am I Not Surprised? Obama Administration Opposes FDR Prayer at WWII Memorial

Obama’s  War on Christianity …This President is truly a disgrace and must go!

I wonder why the Obama Administration would be against the following words of prayer:

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the scheming of unworthy men.

So the prayer was good enough for Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII, prior to D-Day, for the US troops, but not good enough for the Obama Administration. UNBELIEVABLE! The Obama Administration opposes adding FDR’s D-Day prayer to the WWII Memorial. Watch the VIDEO below of FDR’s D-Day prayer. What’s the matter, is Barack embarrassed that FDR sounded Presidential, or is it just the prayer Barack and the reference of God? You really have a lot of explaining to do Obama to the military veterans and those who lost their lives and their families defending this great land.  This from the same people that support the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their vile criminal activity, yet does not support a prayer by a former President at the WWII Memorial. THEY NEED TO GO NOW!

Watch and Listen to FDR’s D-Day Prayer below, why would this not be allowed?

Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The objection was noted during a congressional hearing on Rep. Bill Johnson’s, R-Ohio, bill — the “World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011.”

“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” Johnson said. “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”

How could any Commander in Chief of the United States of America oppose a former Presidents prayer on D-Day, at a time and point in the history of the US where victory or defeat weighed in the balance? As Weasel Zippers says, SICKENING. So let’s understand this, Obama thinks that GOD has no place at the WWII Memorial, but he thinks GOD wants us to pass his bogus jobs bill? Can November 2012 come fast enough!

Johnson told Fox News that the administration’s objection should “give all Americans a great deal of concern.”

“For there to be objections to demonstrating a faith in God at critical points in our nation’s history — particularly D-Day — boggles my mind,” Johnson said. “I was very surprised they were going to object.”

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council said it’s not all that surprising.

“This is further evidence that the administration has created an environment that is hostile towards American history — but in particular towards Christianity,” Perkins told Fox News. “I hope America wakes up and realizes what this administration is doing to this country and how they want to radically and fundamentally change America.”

The full transcript of FDR’s D-Day prayer, the one that the Obama Administration will not allow at the WWII Memorial.

Taliban Suicide Bomber Kills 13 American Military Troops in Kabul, Afghanistan

Sadly, 13 American military heroes have been killed in Kabul, Afghanistan.  According to NATO accounts, a Taliban terrorist suicide bomber rammed a van into a NATO bus killing 13 American military troops and four Afghans.  This was the deadliest single attack against the US led coalition since the Taliban shot down a NATO helicopter on August 6 in an eastern Afghan province, killing 30 U.S. troops. A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility, saying that a suicide bomber named Abdul Rahman Hazarbos

A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a van into an armored NATO bus Saturday in Kabul, killing 13 American troops and four Afghans, U.S. and Afghan officials said, in the deadliest attack on coalition forces in more than two months.

The explosion, which occurred as the convoy was passing the American University, sparked a fireball and littered the street with shrapnel. Heavy black smoke poured from burning wreckage at the site.

The armored personnel carrier, known as a Rhino was sandwiched between of a convoy of mine-resistant military vehicles traveling on a four-lane highway frequently used by NATO forces in a southwestern section of the city.
