This story hurts my heart and I would like to apologize to our men and women in service. It is indeed a sacrifice and I am embarrassed at how this current administration views and treats that service to our country. I had the privelege to go shooting with several retired military men over the past weekend, one of which I worked with at Fort Leavenworth for 6 years. The day was jovial, but as you can imagine the discussion about the current political climate was difficult. I was reminded of their words and more importantly their concerned eyes when I read this story on American Thinker.

"On Jan. 20, 2007, five American soldiers were killed and three seriously wounded in Iraq. As Bill Roggio relates (http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2007/01/the_karbala_attack_a.php) at the Long War Journal, it was a daring operation: a twelve-man terrorist team disguised as U.S. servicemen attacked our troops as they held a previously arranged meeting with local officials in Karbala. Four of the soldiers were alive when they were abducted from the scene. They were handcuffed and murdered in a remote location when the coalition forces attempting to rescue them closed in. "
........
"About two weeks ago, the Obama administration released Laith Qazali after extensive negotiations with the Asaib al-Haq terror network. That network has long been in negotiations with the fledgling Iraqi government, dangling the possibility of laying down its arms, renouncing violence, and integrating into Iraqi society, provided that its top members - particularly Qais and Laith Qazali, as well as Ali Mussa Daqduq - be released."
RELEASED?!?!?
Our president, who has condemned advanced interrogation techniques (though he hypocritically wants to retain the right to use them), cut military spending, negotiates with terrorists, won't condemn the brutal acts of Iran, doesn't comment on a muslim murdering military recruiters, declares we are not a Christian nation (sadly, I must agree), claims we are one of the biggest muslim nations, etc etc etc etc etc etc ALLOWS men involved in the kidnapping, torture and murder of our soldiers to be released. . . .
Eric Holder's assertion that we were a nation of cowards is misplaced. . . . unfortunately, we have the prince of cowards at the head of our government.
