Commander inCompetent

It was laughable for a few months, that laughter that parents share as they watch a toddler walk around at first. Then it got frustrating, the frustration that comes from one too many spankings but you know you have to do it one more time and think this time the lesson will stick. Then it went into infuriating, like a teenager who had turned his back on all of his parents' teachings. Now it's just annoying, like a President who won't even change which hand his latte is in as he exits Marine One so he can salute the men that he, supposedly, commands.



And yet, even with this childish lack of respect, the Commander in Chief of the greatest military the world has ever seen has the audacity to both claim a Nobel Peace Prize and then bomb seven different countries in the span of six years- and those are just the air strikes we know about.

To date, the Obama administration, led by the President himself, has sent airstrikes to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and, as of Tuesday, Syria. 

In Pakistan alone we can see how much destruction this man has caused in the name of "strengthening international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" in the field of "arms control and disarmament and world organizing."

As you can see in the video, close to 85% of the airstrikes that have hit Pakistan have come during the Obama administration. Each month of strikes that killed more than 93 people has happened on Obama's watch. There have been six such months with the highest estimated death toll topping 150 in September 2010. All of the airstrikes in Pakistan since Obama took office in 2009 have resulted in over 2,700 casualties.

Another Nobel Peace Prize worthy number: 580. The number of Pakistanis killed in the time between Obama taking office and his receiving of the award later that year- not even 12 months later. That is 63 more than all the airstrikes on Pakistan under President Bush.

Now, does this speak more to the members of the Nobel committee and how ignorant they are or to the arrogance of our Commander in Chief to accept this award knowing how much destruction he has caused in such a short span of time? I'll let you decide that piece.

In Afghanistan, hundreds of airstrikes were aimed at suspected Taliban and al Qaeda forces with many of them also hitting civilians in the process. Now, after almost 13 years in Afghanistan, we are still leaving troops behind in a "support" role to help train Afghan forces and maintain security.

Libya has seen one of the darkest days in US history when the embassy in Benghazi was attacked and four Americans were killed by rebels on September 11, 2012. That came after airstrikes against the nation in conjunction with a U.N. Security Council resolution. Those airstrikes ended in the death of Moammar Gadhfi.

Hundreds of militants in Yemen have been killed due to continued US airstrikes in the region, however several hundred civilians have also been the victims of such strikes. Somalia, known for the pirates off the coast, has also seen our airstrikes come down when the US attacked and killed the militants associated with al Shabaab and their leader earlier this year.

And now, the latest attacks come with the threat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. While some have been humanitarian in origin, most have been acts of continued warfare against terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIS. Bombing ISIS directly and the oilfields they control, Obama and his Joint Chiefs have begun yet another war in the Middle East and this one is not likely to end before Obama leaves office.

One thing is abundantly clear, and has been since the first day in office, this Commander in Chief and Nobel Prize recipient currently in the Oval Office has no respect for the men and women in the armed forces that he commands and even less respect- yes, less than no respect- for human life in general. Whether that comes across in his blatant disregard for those in the womb, his concern, or lack thereof, when he attacks another country, or his neglect for those he so openly welcomed into the country and has now turned over to the Republicans in Congress as a political problem rather than people, it makes little difference. Obama, the man who spoke so eloquently and won over the hearts and minds of millions of Americans, is nothing more than a political killing machine with no regard for who suffers.
