Obama’s Rules Of Engagement	Don’t shoot back! Don’t pick the poppies! And don’t bother the women and men in burqas! These are the new rules of engagement for leathernecks in Afghanistan. Sound incredible? They’re true. Welcome to the modern Marine Corps under Barack Hussein Obama. On July 1, the U.S. military initiated Operation Khanjar or "Strike of the Sword," an invasion of the Helmand Province by 4,000 Marines and 650 Afghan soldiers. "Strike of the Sword" represents the first military operation to be ordered by Obama. The purpose of the campaign is to flush out Taliban operatives from southern Afghanistan in order to safeguard the re-election of Afghan President Hamid Karzai on August 20. The military initiative is being conducted by the insistence of Kharzai, who fears that a strong Taliban presence will produce unfavorable results for him on election-day. To accomplish this objective, Obama remains determined to deploy 68,000 additional U.S. troops to southern Afghanistan within the next six weeks. But the Marines, thanks to Obama, are conducting this mission with their hands tied. The first order from America’s new faux-commander is that the Marines must not return enemy fire for fear of killing an Afghan non-combatant. ABC Correspondent Mike Boettcher, who is embedded with Golf Company, reports that the young Marines, when ambushed by Taliban forces with automatic weapons, were ordered to shoulder their rifles. Their command, Boettcher writes, warned them that "one civilian casualty could negate the No. 1 objective of this operation -- winning the trust and respect of the farmers of the Helmand River Valley."

One More Communist	Obama's newly appointed "Green" Czar, was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader. Van Jones, president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates for building a so-called inclusive green economy, has been tapped to serve as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. According to the White House blog, Jones' duties will include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and ensuring equal opportunity in the administration's energy proposals. While in jail in San Francisco in 1992, Jones said, "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist." Jones, formerly a self-described "rowdy black nationalist," boasted in a 2005 interview that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class "justice." "I'll work with anybody. I'll fight anybody if it will push our issues forward," he told the left-leaning East Bay Express in a 2005 interview. "I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends."
Obama Fears The Foreign Press	Breaking -- At 7 AM, Fox News reporter, Major Garrett, reported that Obama has banned the foreign press from his press conference today in Italy. The foreign press is furious. It is clear to me that Obama is afraid that he will not be able to manage the foreign press like he does the fawning sycophants in the American press corps. Did you know that reporters from roughly 30 television networks, newspapers, magazines, and web sites celebrated the Fourth of July with Barack Obama at the White House last weekend? Why didn't you know that? Because they were sworn to secrecy.
Obama Will Repeal Medicare	Obama’s health care proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access. Indeed, the principal impact of the Obama health care program will be to reduce sharply the medical services the elderly can use. No longer will their every medical need be met, their every medication prescribed, their every need to improve their quality of life answered. It is so ironic that the elderly -- who were so vigilant when Bush proposed to change Social Security -- are so relaxed about the Obama health care proposals. Bush’s Social Security plan, which did not cut their benefits at all, aroused the strongest opposition among the elderly. But Obama’s plan, which will totally gut Medicare and replace it with government-managed care and rationing, has elicited little more than a yawn from most senior citizens. It’s time for the elderly to wake up before it is too late! Continue reading here . . .
Audacity Of Nope	The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them. Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope." But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security. Continue reading here . . .
Obama's Outreach Called A Fraud	The Lid blog reports that over the course of his tenure, Obama has not only shown a disdain for the War Against Islamic Terrorists (also known as the War Against People Who Create Man-Made Disasters), but Obama has shown a total disregard for those who lost family members to acts of terror. Back in February, Obama upset the families of the USS Cole victims when he stopped the military commissions that were going to try the terrorists: Retired Navy Cmdr. Kirk Lippold -- the Cole's commanding officer when it was bombed in Yemen in 2000 -- was among a dozen people who met with Obama and have been angered by the decision. "I was certainly disappointed with the decision to delay the military commissions process," Lippold told reporters before the meeting. "We have already waited eight years." Another victim's family member Debra Burlingame said this about that February meeting: We'd been had. Binyam Mohamed -- the al Qaeda operative selected by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) for a catastrophic post-9/11 attack with co-conspirator Jose Padilla -- was released 17 days later. In a follow-up conference call, the White House liaison to 9/11 and Cole families refused to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding the decision to repatriate Mohamed, including whether he would be freed in Great Britain. The phrase "swift and certain justice" had been used by top presidential adviser David Axelrod in an interview prior to our meeting with the president. "Swift and certain justice" figured prominently in the White House press release issued before we had time to surrender our White House security passes. "At best, he manipulated the families," Kirk Lippold, commanding officer of the USS Cole at the time of the attack and the leader of the Cole families group, told me recently. "At worst, he misrepresented his true intentions." Two weeks ago, the Obama's team invited the families to voice their concerns and opinions about securing justice for their loved ones, and just like the February meetings the family representatives felt that they were being fed a load of hooey by the Obama Administration. The New Majority interviewed some of the attendees -- their responses are here:
Kapi'olani Hospital Scrubs Their Website	What a difference a day makes. Just yesterday, I posted a page (cursor down) from the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children that featured a letter from the White House affirming the hospital as Obama's birthplace (see next item). Well, today, the letter is gone[KapiolaniNow.mht - MISSING] -- scrub-a-dub-dub! Why would they remove the letter? This is getting absurd.
