Mr. Obama, Our Troops Are Dying!

Below is a heart-wrenching video offered by a reader of Political Pistachio in the comments section. Debbie is the mother of an American Hero who is a member of the 5th Stryker Brigade 1-17 ID fighting in Afghanistan.

In the video she offers to Mr. Obama: "While you ponder on whether to support our troops, our men and women are dying and losing limbs in Afghanistan. . . They are not political pawns, they are real men and women and you should be ashamed of yourself. . . [to the troops] We have not forgotten you."

We are praying for our brothers and sisters of the U.S. Armed Forces, and we are praying that Obama decides to give them the equipment and personnel these troops so desperately need.

An Email to me recently asked this question: What would we think of a Fire Chief that stood outside a burning building, watching his firemen die in the fire, while pondering whether or not to send in more firefighters and hoses? The choice is obvious. Either get additional men and equipment into the building to extinguish the fire, or pull the firefighters in there out before they are consumed by the flames. Hesitating through indecision only places the firefighters in mortal danger as they fight a fight that is insurmountable without enough personnel, equipment, and supplies.

Thank You Debbie for the heart felt video.
