Lt. Brian Brennan was severely wounded in Afghanistan and faced unbeatable odds but he made a remarkable recovery with a little help from General David Petraeus and a special Cherokee word.

My Sincerest Regrets on the Death of Your Son, by Barack Obama

Re: The Death of Your Son, Private Jones
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones:
As President of the United States, the hardest thing I have to do is send young men and women into combat. Tragically, some die defending our freedoms. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son in Afghanistan.
Having never served in the military, knowing nothing about the military, being a rather naive lawyer and community organizer, and having two daughters who I will never send into harm’s way, I cannot imagine how hard it is to lose a brave Marine like your son. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss and be assured our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Perhaps the most tragic of all is the fact that he was shot and killed by Mohammed Bin Bomben– an honor graduate of our “Adopt a Jihadist Program” (See: Obama’s “Adopt-A-Jihadist” Program for Gitmo Prisoners) which you may have read about. Bin Bomben was himself killed in the firefight and we were not only saddened by the loss of your son but also greatly disappointed that Bin Bomben returned to the battlefield after being rehabilitated in Saudi Arabia. Although he promised he would never return to the battlefield and kill American troops, it seems he broke his promise to us and did just that. Sadly, his release from Guantanamo resulted in the loss of your son. We are deeply sorry about this.
Sometimes a President faces hard choices, and this is one of those. You see, I made a campaign promise back in 2008 that I would close Guantanamo and release the alleged enemy combatants who were captured on the battlefield during the Bush Administration. I made this promise because my left wing, “Blame America First” supporters demanded that we close the facility and release those prisoners. Even though there is no empirical support for the proposition, I believe that if we close that facility, the world and the terrorists will love the United States once more. After all, it is more important to be loved than respected or feared. I am sure you understand this. Some have said that I did not think this out before I campaigned on this promise; others say I was naive to assume that we could rehabilitate terrorists and return them to their own country certain that they would never do us harm again. Well, I may have not thought this out ahead of time, and perhaps I was naive to think that they would not return to the battlefield and shoot our brave young soldiers again. However, that is a risk that I, as President, must take. After all, a campaign promise is a campaign promise. And above all, I want to show the world we are kind and compassionate. As with any new government program, the Adopt a Jihadist Program has kinks to be ironed out. Certainly, there is a remote chance that some of these hard-core terrorists sworn to destroy America may possibly return to the battlefield and kill our soldiers–like your brave son. But, that is just one of those unfortunate things that happens. I am sure you understand. Again, I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Barack H. Obama
President of the United States
Obama – Air-Raiding Villages and Killing Innocent Civilians.
Where is the Liberal outrage?
Why isn’t the “Main Stream Media” reporting this 24/7?
Does this make Obama a war criminal?
An American bombing raid on two villages in Afghanistan could have killed as many as 120 civilians, it was claimed today.
Local officials said that many women and children had died after the U.S. airstrike on Taliban fighters massing in Farah province in the west of the country.
The Red Cross confirmed that officials had seen ‘dozens of bodies’ in graves while villagers were digging through rubble to retrieve more human remains.
‘There were bodies, there were graves, and there were people burying bodies when we were there,’ spokesman Jessica Barry said.
‘We saw dozens of bodies in each of the two locations that we went to.
‘We do confirm women and children. There were women and children.’
The death toll remains unclear though former government official Mohammad Nieem Qadderdan said between 100 and 120 people were killed in the attacks.
He added villagers were still uncovering bodies, some of which were missing limbs or were torn into small pieces.
‘People are still looking through the rubble,’ Qadderdan said. ‘We need more people to help us. Many families left the villages, fearing other strikes.’
The U.S. has sent a brigadier general to the region to investigate. Afghan president Hamid Karzai has ordered a probe into the killings.

Change? If you ask me, Obama is still aiding the Jihad.
Afghan president: US forces killed 16 civilians
President Hamid Karzai condemned a U.S. operation he said killed 16 Afghan civilians, while hundreds of villagers denounced the American military during an angry demonstration Sunday.
Karzai said the killing of innocent Afghans during U.S. military operations “is strengthening the terrorists.”
