#2 Ahem. *Every* leader of 'armed forces', be it some kids with rocks, protestors with cream pies, Talibs with RPGs or the POTUS and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces has to decide where and when to deploy his forces. It may not be a reason anyone approves of, but there is a reason, always, to engage.

Duh.

#3 Rather worryingly he didn't add "for furthering the interests of the united states"

#4 Ah come on now, we all know that,

1. He's not an American, he's a Kenyan Muslim.

2. His main interest is making Himself look important,

3. And getting as much booty as he can.

4, And gives a flying fuck about The USA.

YOU ELECTED HIM,(I Did NOT) you deal with him, Me I'm hunkering down and being as unobtrusive as possible till he goes away. I have enough food, money and a running truck (I maintain myself) to survive almost anything (Maybe not roving herds of starving people?)

#5 Maybe it's just me, but this is the most outrageous disgrace this embarrassing empty suit has perpetrated yet - and that list is substantial.

To carry his illiterate, ignorant, unpresidential snarkiness to the extent of impugning the importance and neccessity of ongoing military engagements in commencement remarks to a service academy - this is despicable.

Of course, after months or even years of unbelievable behavior being tolerated and rewarded in this arena, the nerves are quite deadened. But this vacuous jackass just set a new record for arrogant inappropriate behavior that jiggles the circuits.

The country demeans itself every second the slanderous and unstatesmanlike nonsense of this idiot, his idiotic underlings, and their contemptible political allies go unpunished.

#6 Thank you Verlane, many days I feel I'm a "Voice in the wilderness" here.

#7 Redneck - you forgot:

#4.5 Destroying and disarming the United States as a superpower.

(But that's pretty much a given with the -D after his name).
