Op-ed:

Yet another apology by the Obama administration

By: Diane Sori

‘Aint we so special that yesterday Pakistan reopened the closed ground supply roads into Afghanistan...roads that we used for years until an unfortunate ‘incident’.

And how and why did this happen...it happened because Secretary of State Hillary Clinton APOLOGIZED for America, folks...she APOLOGIZED as if our military did something wrong!

Blackmail...the very word brings to mind images of deceit and deception; blackmail...something the United States of America has never fallen party to before the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama; blackmail...the ruse used by Pakistan to bait us into an apology in order to defame and dishonor our brave men and women in uniform and to get more money from us.

And Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton took the bait hook, line, and sinker as expected they would.

But let’s go back to the beginning...this past Tuesday, at Obama’s insistence, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton officially apologized to Pakistan for the ‘supposed’ errant airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers by US helicopters and fighter jets during a time of war...DURING A TIME OF WAR!

Because of Barack Hussein Obama, America is once again apologizing for ‘enemy’ deaths DURING A TIME OF WAR where it’s kill or be killed.  And let me make it very clear...Pakistan is our ‘enemy’ when it suits them to be, which is most of the time.  This newest apology by the Obama administration turns my stomach and makes my blood boil as this miserable pathetic excuse of a president has chosen yet again NOT to stand by our military’s actions but instead has chosen to grovel before a country that has proven time and again that it’s no friend of ours.

And what did we get for this wonderful apology...we got Islamabad agreeing to re-open ground supply roads running from the Port of Karachi to US and NATO military bases in Afghanistan, roads to be used for the transport of food, fuel, and other non-lethal supplies...as in NO military equipment that might aid our troops will be allowed on these roads.  And to make matters worse, these roads have been used by our suppliers and troops for years, and these were roads that the Pakistani military was supposed to help us guard against attack.

Back on November 26, 2011, US combat helicopters defended our troops by attacking two Pakistani border posts after Pakistani troops opened fire on US troops on the Afghan side of the border.   Pakistani troops knowingly and with deliberate malice and intent killed US troops, yet we were the ones to issue an apology.

Something is very wrong with this picture.

And could it be that these border posts were indeed specifically targeted because not only were they used to fire on our troops, but could it be that through these posts jihadists and terrorists entered and left the country unhindered, taking a body toll on our troops as they did.

“We are sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military” bloviated Hillary Clinton as Obama’s de facto mouthpiece.  What about the losses of our troops, has anyone ever apologized for those...I don’t hear any takers on that one do I Mr. Obama and I never will.  

And now with our apology we get to continue paying $250 per truck for the use of the Pakistani roads just as we had before they shut them down.  And we get to continue to pay ‘coalition support funds’ to reimburse Pakistan for logistical and military support Pakistan gives us against militants.

Now is that a joke or what as the words militants and Pakistan are synonymous in their meaning.  Militants and jihads routinely operate and move in and out of Pakistan as the Pakistani government turns a blind eye. In fact, Pakistan actually encourages and supports them in their actions against us and Obama knows it, yet to them he will grovel and beg.  And through Hillary’s apology he again bows down to those out to kill us.

So, were the airstrikes really an unfortunate mistake as Obama and Hillary claimed and apologized for...I don’t think so.  I think our military knew exactly what they were doing and that it needed to be done. 

Remember, this is war...a war on terror and terror attacks can come from those even ‘supposedly’ on our side, including from our very own White House.
