Letter: On a roll

On a roll

You won't read or hear about this report from the mainstream media.

Lt. Col. Daniel Davis wrote a feature editorial in the Armed Forces Journal describing the conditions in Afghanistan and what he saw "bore no resemblance to the rosy statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground."

The conclusion of the piece by Col. Davis is chilling. What he saw went from "bad to abysmal."

I urge every American to read it.

Further up the chain of command, President Barack Obama said recently that "the tide of the war in Afghanistan is receding," as he announced plans to start withdrawing troops, 33,000 to be exact, two months before the election.

Timing is everything with this president.

And if this isn't news enough, how about the president invoking a false message of Jesus Christ to gain political support for his tax proposal?

Now the president is on a roll — so he decides to go to war against the Roman Catholic Church over provisions of Obamacare that requires all employers, including religious institutions, to pay for birth control.

Obama promised to fundamentally change America, and we've only witnessed a small preview of things to come if he is re-elected.

Anyone but Obama in November.
