Remove the Faint of Heart

Posted by on June 16, 2010 No comments

In Deuteronomy 20:8 we read,

"The man who is faint of heart let him depart and return to his house so that he might not make his brother's hearts melt like his heart."

This passage teaches a simple truth – that a fighting force that consists of soldiers who want to be in the fight no matter the risk or cost, are far more powerful than a greater quantity of soldiers, some of who do not want to be there.

The will supersedes simple numbers. The collective will is more powerful than sheer numbers.

This passage supports the United States Military's contention that an "All Volunteer Force" is superior to a force comprised of volunteers and draftees.

Obama Lies About Everything

Posted by on June 16, 2010 No comments

On Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 President Obama addressed the nation from the Oval Office regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. During his address to the nation Obama said,

"But make no mistake. We will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long as it takes."

But the facts do not support Obama's statement that he has done "everything" he can.

  1. Obama has refused to sign an executive order to waive the Jones Act that would allow ships and crews from other countries to enter the Gulf and help in the clean up effort.
  2. Obama has refused Canada’s offer of 3,000 meters of containment boom.
  3. Obama has refused three sets of COSEQ sweeping arms from the Dutch.
  4. Obama has refused Mexico’s offer of two skimmers and 4200 meters of boom.
  5. Obama has refused Norway’s offer of 8 skimming systems.

    (The above was taken from: "The Jones Act Slowing Oil Spill Cleanup" by Brian Wilson of FoxNews.)

So when Obama says "We will fight this spill with everything we've got", that means "everything" except waive the Jones Act.

So it's not true that Obama is doing "everything", which means Obama lies about "everything".
