"LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES"

Who would have suspected the savior of the world be born in a stable. He never commanded a great military victory. He never came on a white stallion. He was never elected to a political office. He didn't go to Harvard or Stanford. He was the antithesis of everything we look for in a savior. He is the exact opposite of someone we think can solve all our problems for us. Today, we in America are doing the same thing, we are looking for a savior in all the wrong places. Look at the meteoric rise of Barack Obama. America was enthralled with this great orator graduated from Harvard. Surely he must be the one to save us. With all of his talents and intelligence surely he must be the one. Sorry America, we are prisoners of our own national stupidity. Nobody is going to fix your problems but you, and the One who gives you breath in your nostrils. No one will admit it but what we are expecting from Obama he cannot deliver. I believe God is going to allow this nation to flounder until we realize that He is God and we are not. As long as we continue to look to man for the answers we will continually be disappointed. God has a plan. Actually God is a family man and His plan is to gather His family into one household where He has furnished everything for His children. This is why the whole story begins with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothing lying in a manger. The baby was God's baby, His Son, Jesus, and it is through His Son that He is delivering all of the blessings of heaven to those who believe. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the Great Physician, Jesus is the one who multiplies the fishes and the loaves. Jesus is the one who pulls the tax money out of the fishes mouth. He is the one who provides all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Jesus is the Savior!!! Merry Christmas

Obama Announces Surrender in Afganistan

President Barack Obama, in his speech to West Point Cadets, announced the biggest military blunder since Viet Nam. In the same sentence Obama announced the deployment of thirty thousand additional troops to Afghanistan and he announced his withdrawal date of July 2011. It is obvious that the troop surge is purely a political ploy to camouflage his true position, which is to retreat from the War on Terror. Obama should have ended the sentence by saying these troops will crush Al Qaeda, eradicate the Taliban and bring peace to Afghanistan; instead he set a clear date to retreat. It does not take a military genius to see this gives our troops only one summer to accomplish the mission of winning the war, train Afgan police and army, pacify the villages and cities of Afghanistan, capture Bin Laden and destroy Al Qaeda. The harsh winters in Afghanistan prevents most military maneuvers so this leaves the summer of 2010 to win the war. If we haven't won the war in eight years, what new military strategy did Obama reveal that will win the war in one summer. First of all, more troops is not the answer; being a Viet Nam vet I witness a troop build up of half a million men, resulting in nearly fifty eight thousand dead. What was missing in the Viet Nam build up was the will and commitment to a military victory. Without the will for a military victory in Afghanistan the buildup is doomed to failure. What is infuriating, this man will sacrifice the lives of American young men to cover up his true agenda of retreat. By setting a withdrawal date Obama has given a signal to our enemies that we are not in the fight to win, and he has given our friends the message that we will not stand with them to the end. Why is our President so willing to give our enemies a subliminal message? It is not the first time. It is clear that either Obama does not understand the underlying agenda of Islam or he understands Jihad and is working to further their cause. When is America going to hold Obama accountable! During his campaign he made it clear that Afghanistan was the war that needed to be won. He declared that the Iraq war was the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time! Well, he has been president for over a year now; where was his strategy for Afghanistan last December? Why did it take him so long to announce his surrender; did it take him that long to figure out how to mask his retreat? My conclusion, just get out and face the music.
