OPINION:
Who in this country thinks that appeasing or buying off the enemy is the right way to go? Hillary Clinton and President Obama have demonized Donald Trump for wanting our country to be strong again; Mrs. Clinton has recently gone so far as to say that because of his stance on terrorism, Mr. Trump is helping to recruit Islamic State terrorists.
The problem I see with the Clinton-Obama game plan is that the enemy looks at both these ’leaders’ and sees that they have divided this country. The terrorists see two gutless incompetents bowing their shameful heads in fear while the Islamic State takes its murderous acts to the United States.
How did the terrorists come to the conclusion that our leaders are weak? Mrs. Clinton went hat in hand with her childish ’reset’ button to Russia, which subsequently took Crimea. She pushed Mr. Obama into removing Moammar Gadhafi in Libya, and let the Islamic State take the country over. The Obama administration had no game plan to stabilize Libya.
Divider-in-chief Obama removed the troops in Iraq, telling all when he would do it — and the Islamic State moved in and tore Iraq apart.
He drew his ’red line’ in the sand in Syria and didn’t follow up, letting the Islamic State infiltrate that country.
China has built two islands in the South China Sea, installing warplanes and ignoring Mr. Obama.
But paying Iran not to make nuclear weapons was Mr. Obama’s biggest mistake. Like cowards with no backbone, we gave cash to a declared enemy — in effect telling the world we were afraid.
Mrs. Clinton is a pathological liar and can’t be trusted. What has she led or accomplished that makes her fit to be president?
