Obama says that women should be in combat, and that the US has a moral imperative to go to war with Syria. I assume that he means it, and that his girls will be signing up for ROTC soon – in preparation to go fight their father’s perpetual war in the Middle East when they come of age.
Just like their father’s brave military service, when he killed Osama bin Laden.
“And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.
