Washington Times reports Iraq’s ambassador to Washington says the Obama administrationdoesn’t fully grasp the consequences of failing to more aggressively combat a surging al Qaedathreat inside his country, pointedly suggesting that President Obama has been less engaged with Baghdad than his predecessor.

“The administrationhas to have a better understanding of any adverse impact of any delay in provision of support to Iraq,” Ambassador Lukman Faily told The Washington Times in an interview Wednesday. “It cannot afford a whole town or province of Iraq falling to al Qaeda and becoming a safe haven. It’s against the U.S. strategic interest. It’s against the U.S. national security to do that.”

Women Combat Soldiers = Cannon Fodder
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*****************
The definition of "cannon fodder" from the Merriam-Webster.com/dictionary:

1:  soldiers regarded or treated as expendable in battle

2:  an expendable or exploitable person, group, or thing

The Free Dictionary.com defines cannon fodder this way:  "Soldiers, sailors, or other military personnel regarded as likely to be killed or wounded in combat."

Now, I ask you:  Are Americans going to stand by and allow the leftist social engineers to send America women to die on the alter of "progressive social experimentation?"

There is an article you need to read at: http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/17322-military-gender-issue-reignites-as-45-of-female-marines-fail-pull-up-test

The article is entitled:  "Military Gender Issue Reignites as 45 Percent of Female Marines Fail Pull-up Test."

Here are some astounding snippets from he article:

"Despite being given more than a year’s warning that pull-ups would be the only option for testing females’ upper body strength in the Corps’ Physical Fitness Test (PFT) starting January 1, only 45 percent of those tested at Paris Island, South Carolina, met the bare minimum of three."

And this:  "Said Marine Corps Commandant General James Amos, the Corps wants to “continue to gather data and ensure that female Marines are provided with the best opportunity to succeed.” In the interim, they may continue to opt out of the pull-up requirement in favor of the much less demanding “flexed-arm hang” which requires only that the soldier to hang with her chin above the bar for a minimum of 15 seconds."  -- SOURCE:  http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/17322-military-gender-issue-reignites-as-45-of-female-marines-fail-pull-up-test

" ... 15 female and 266 male Marines took the Corps’ grueling two-month infantry course, carrying 85-pound packs and rifles and engaging in various obstacle courses while at the same time learning how to shoot, launch grenades, conduct patrols, and avoid IEDs (roadside bombs). Of the men, 221 made it through the course, while just three women finished." -- SOURCE:  http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/17322-military-gender-issue-reignites-as-45-of-female-marines-fail-pull-up-test

If that wasn't bad enough the article went on to say:  "Earlier 20 female Marines attempted to complete the even more difficult officers’ training course, and none passed." -- SOURCE:  http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/17322-military-gender-issue-reignites-as-45-of-female-marines-fail-pull-up-test 

It is said that there are lies and there are damned lies.  One of the latter is that men and women are the same. Liberal belief in such garbage is going to come back to bite us.  And it is going to hurt.

I find it more than a little difficult to support a system that will place its mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters in harm's way for defense of the nation when there are more than enough able bodied men to perform the task of fighting our wars. Placing women in combat roles to bear the brunt of the fighting, killing, dying, the violence that is war is unjustified -- period.  It is, in my opinion, just another sign of the extremity of American social decay.
Look. It is sad enough to witness men who have had their limbs blown off, or have been hideously disfigured by war.  But it is a price men have always paid in order to protect those who give life to their progeny.  It is they, the women,  who will re-populate the earth, give birth to the babies that will replace the men/warriors lost in the defense of the nation. It is they we ought to protect from the risk of being killed, disabled, or mentally damaged by war.  They are to be protected -- not placed in the front lines where the dangers are the highest. 

There are a myriad of jobs in the military that do not require life endangerment.  Traditionally women have served in those roles thereby releasing men from those jobs so they can take their place in combat and other high risk positions. 

"In 1948, the Israelis put women soldiers into the front lines, but had to pull them after a few weeks. Discipline broke down, morale plummeted and men ignored orders, rushing instead to protect the women. Some men lost their sanity when they saw women being blown apart.

... The Israelis quickly grasped that women have no business being in combat, and that is their policy to this day. They train women for emergency situations, removing them if combat begins."  -- SOURCE:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/892454/posts

The world has changed since 1948 and not particularly for the better.  There has been a dramatic shift in the American character. The decay of our morals has accelerated at an alarming pace. Today we seem to know the price of everything -- and the VALUE  of nothing. 

That the US would place women in combat roles in its military for purely political reasons says something about just how low we have sunk as a civilized society.

A well known and respected YOU TUBE truther channel known as "Dutchsinse" recently reported measuring radiation levels across the country and is now studying some possible Fukushima radiation in seafood with his scientific equipment.  Some folks are reporting that Dutchsinse is a hoax however he has been known to be rather skillful in advanced meteorological and atmospheric studies as he reveals the truth behind HAARP along with the National Weather Service NEXRAD radar arrays and has exposed various concerns with weather modification via CHEMTRAILS and HAARP TRANSMITTERS.  Dutchsinse is also well versed in seismology and has been actively monitoring earthquake patterns and concerns across the entire world.

Nevertheless there are always those trolls and shills that try to discredit these men of integrity such as this video below:

I'm never tired of wearing another round of pastels ( no matter of season) and I hope you are not tired either for finding another version of this "sentimental trend"on my blog.
I teamed up (once again) with Lulu's.com to show you my top 5 favorite/ timeless pieces from their shop right now.
My first pick is this pair of powdery pink pants, totally a must have piece in my agenda.  I decided to wear them in a totally rhapsody of pastels (soft pink & blush) with a good dose of vivid flower prints from my new Sophie Hulme Bag!
I officially started dreaming of Spring!
