POPSMatthews on West Point: CIC goes to "enemy camp" tonight... Sadly I believe Chris Matthews is right. Obama is no friend to the military. Why would he even go there? This is the training center for the future military leaders of our National Defense. Those who go there are dedicated to the protection of our Country and the defeat of all enemies, both foreign and domestic. With his tepid response to the efforts in Afghanistan, his wimpish behavior towards Iran, the do-nothing approach to N. Korea, and the bankrupting of our economy...not to mention his habit of apologizing every where he goes ..... I sense that West Point isn't the only place that could be considered the "enemy camp".

POPSIran restructuring its naval forces Are we ready?? Or are we too distracted by football, Christmas, etc.... Our enemies don't care what we're interested in or distracted by. They are on the move.

POPSFort Hood gunman paralysed.... No matter what I say I will sound politically incorrect. His victims are dead. The families of many at Fort Hood are traumatized and angry. That he has *lived* and will face a trial is very sad to me. How much will this trial cost the taxpayer when we already know that he is guilty? Will there be sympathy when it comes to executing a paralyzed murderer? Will he have a jury of "his peers"? Just another convolution of the American justice system. Take what is meant for good and use it for distortion and evil.

POPSWH: No Afghan decision before Thanksgiving Absolutely amazing. Why doesn't he just say what he really plans to do instead of dragging this out, waiting for a more opportune time? He's going to undermine our military troops there and send the morale of the rest completely down the drain. Agree with the Afghan war or not...being so "dithering" is inexcusable and makes the efforts of our soldiers there worthless. My Mom had ABC news on last night (it was an accident) and I heard the news caster talk about the poll numbers showing that support for the war against the Taleban in Afghanistan were dropping. Well, YES!!! Because many of us who do support the work being done there are no longer wanting our family members there without the support of this President!!! By failing to give them what they need, requested by their General, the pseudo-CIC is responsible for those who are being killed and maimed right now.

POPSPoll: Americans want KSM tried in military court I can't believe that it's not 10-for-10 for the death penalty if found guilty. And yes, most Americans believe these guy will get a fair trial. But how much is this going to cost the taxpayers by having it in a civilian court as opposed to a military one? Are there going to be TV cameras? Every Arab television in the world is going to be tuned in to this circus. And finally, why doesn't the majority opinion rule anymore? and I'm talking about incidences such as this. Obama & Holder had to have made this decision on their own.

POPSLieberman Refuses to Ignore the Obvious Why was this man *ever* on the ticket with Al Gore??? FTA: "why it is that eight years after 9/11, Hasan’s behavior did not set off alarm bells?" Complacency and PC. As I've said in other clips, freedom of Religion is a foundational stone of our Constitution. Freedom of Speech is also. However, if it quacks like a duck...it might be a duck and it's those who are in authority who are responsible to discern.

POPSAfghan outlook bleak as Taliban grabs territory While Obama plans his Peace Prize speech, our declared enemy is defeating our military for lack of commitment by their Commander-in-Chief. This is a travesty. The Taliban will, again, make Afghanistan it's launching site for terror attacks against the West, enslave it's population, and the soldiers who gave their lives there will have done it for nothing. All because of a lack of will. Well Ms Michelle says that she is now proud of America....I couldn't be more ashamed of her husband's treachery and abandonment. This is aiding our enemies and undermining the American soldier. Shame! This is Vietnam times TEN.

POPSAhmadinejad: Obama Will 'Regret' Accusing Iran of Hiding Nuclear Plant Doesn't this seem like such a political farce? Everyone already knew about it so what's the secret? Is Medvedev's comment the price we paid Russia for ditching the missile shield? Is this a set-up to give Israel the go-ahead? FTA: "U.S. intelligence believes that the secret Iranian nuclear facility is in an underground tunnel complex on a military base controlled by the elite Revolutionary Guards." "The location at the military base would also undermine Iran's claim that the program is for civilian purposes." Ya think??

POPSRussia to modernize & train Cuban military Oh Joy! You can bet this Dem President won't deal with this potential "missile crisis". Haven't we been here before? As the Administration forces us backwards, Putin takes over. Ya think he'll be nice to us then?

POPSMilitary officials warned about detainee transfers Sounds like the DIA saw the handwriting on the wall (pun intended!!), gave their assessments, considered that they had done their job and are now letting the cookie crumble. They have CTA and will let the Administration take the fall-out.

POPSClimate of Hate, World of Double Standards FTA: "But Obama said nothing. The Justice Department was mum. And so were the legions of finger-pointing pundits happily convicting the pro-life movement and every right-leaning writer on the planet of contributing to the murder of Tiller. Obama's omission, it should be noted, comes just a few weeks after he failed to mention the Bronx jihadi plot to bomb synagogues and a National Guard airbase..." "Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?"

POPSNK threatens to attack US, SKorean warships Also including "civilian vessels". FTA: Ambassadors from the five permanent veto-wielding council members - the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France - as well as Japan and South Korea were working out the details of a new resolution. The article also states that "It is a laughable delusion for the United States to think that it can get us to kneel with sanctions," it said. "We've been living under U.S. sanctions for decades,". I think we've arrived at the "test" the VP was warning us about. No one wants to take on Iran but someone better respond appropriately with NK and soon. They are a chief source for nuclear materials.

POPSStandoff Negotiations Break Down as Navy Fears Pirates... This is a created crisis that has been allowed to escalate to humiliating proportions. The Navy vessel turned tail and ran!!!....not wanting "to escalate the situation." If the President doesn't allow the military to deal with 4 pirates in a lifeboat, we are INDEED doomed when confronted by Iran, Russia, N. Korea, etc... It's now more understandable as to why the military's budget is being cut; there's no plans to use our military!

POPSVet Visit Being a military family, I couldn't pass up this special photo. I didn't know they had a monument for heroic combat dogs! Besides, I love big dogs; ie. real dogs.

POPSCole families to meet with Pres. Obama... Interestingly, the report mentions that Presidents Clinton & Bush had not agreed to such a meeting. I wonder if Bush was asked? He usually went out of his way to meet and comfort military families. Clinton, however, was severely criticized for failing to attend the arrival of the deceased military personnel when they returned to the US.

POPSObama Scrubs website of surge criticism Yes, I'm always supportive of something that has been proven successful too. A little late though. Nice try Obama. After you trounced the efforts, the policy, the military...now that the surge has made significant progress, you want to slap them on the back and join the chorus of "Good job, guy!"

POPSConfidence Poll Well, it's not surprising. I am pleased that, even though it's lower than I would have expected, the military was at the top. Congress is, indeed, in the very pit.

POPSCongress Holds Troops Hostage, Budget Director Says AND when the President vetoes this bill, who will get blamed for not supporting the troops? Congress, again, shows their utter contempt for the American process, it's military, our tax dollars, the intelligence of it's citizens. Blackmail, pure and simple. If Congress does not want America troops in Iraq then take the stand, vote, and deal with the consequences. But they won't because they KNOW it is not in our national interests to do so; but they will play politics with every ounce of treachery they can muster against this Administration, our military personnel, and the responsible use of OUR money.

POPSUS navy sonar takes precedence over whales: Bush So, the President, whose main responsibility is to protect US citizens and establish national security, has given precedence to naval operations over the protection of sea mammals off-shore. Amazing. A President who places protection of us over animals. What a novel idea! He'll be blasted but whatever.......Save the whales, save the manatees, save the forests, save the Everglades, save the panthers....you name it. We DO have a responsibility to protect and secure our environment, but this stuff (and other restrictions that thwart energy independence and security) is ridiculous. Both can be accomplished.

POPSCorner Shot I saw this reported at BreitbartTV but couldn't clip it from there. Please don't think I'm a really weird person but this concept amazed me; especially the under-the-car scene. It's ingenius. You military-types most certainly already knew about this, but I didn't. At first I couldn't stop laughing, then I realized it's deadly!

POPSStupid Intelligence My goodness. Even Alan Dershowitz recognizes an incomplete, flawed, and/or misinterpreted assessment of Iran's nuclear program. Yet, those with the BDS have hopped on the NIE as though it were handed down from God.

POPSGoogle Earth used to target Israel This really isn't surprising except that these people so proudly talk about it. I'm sure Israel has something better than Google Earth. But here's the confusing thing. We're fighting terrorists around the world, but we're helping them get their own "State"! right within Israel. Is this insane?

POPSVladimir Putin pledges to complete Iranian nuclear reactor Whoa! The stakes are getting higher! So what does our government do? Allow them to strengthen themselves more, forge more alliances, and wait for their move against the US and our national interests? the security interests of Europe? against Israel? Who, among our Presidential candidates, actually believes they have the wisdom, the fortitude, the power to deal with the major problems waiting for them? Frankly, I don't see any one among them qualified for the responsibility.
