"Game Plan!"

Anyone who has followed my blog already knows I'm a football fan , it's a great game filled with strategy , kind of like chess with bruises. The history of the game is filled with great coaches , each of which have left their imprint in coaching history. It is well known I love the Chicago Bears , sometimes not an easy thing to do. In the early 70's the Bears got into the play-offs for the first time in many years , Jack Pardee was the head coach , it was early in the career of Walter Payton. As usual the Bears relied on dominant defense to control the game. The offense was pretty limited , Walter Payton and a cloud of dust! Their introduction to the play-offs was against the Dallas Cowboys , Roger Staubach , Tony Dorsett , and the legendary Tom Landry as their head coach. The Bears play-off hopes ended after one game as the Cowboys defeated them , with a 35-14 victory. The Bears were too easy to figure out. Several years later a much different Bears team entered the play-offs , Walter Payton was still the anchor of the offense , he was surrounded with talent at the other skill positions and a head coach who would not tolerate poor effort on any level , Mike Ditka . Opponents were never sure what the bears would do on any possession , thus they became a very difficult opponent. Prior to practices during the Bears Super Bowl run security at their camp was very tight . The logic behind this is , never let your opponent know what is coming at them. Last night Barack Obama gave a speech about his military plans in regards to our situation in Afghanistan . He said he was giving the minimal amount of troops possible to re-enforce our men and women , who have been waiting since August for some help in their efforts. He also did something which I personally consider very irresponsible , he announced a date for with drawl! I can only imagine what the leadership of the Taliban and Al Qaida were saying after Obama said when he was bailing out in 18 months. Obama just sent our game plan to our enemy , what a brilliant move?! I would love to hear what career soldiers were saying behind closed doors after Obama cut them off at the knees. I don't think even Jimmy Carter was dumb enough to make this kind of mistake, of course he had some military experience. All our enemies need to do now is sit on their hands for a few months and wait for our troops to leave , then they can launch their band of terrorists loose on the rest of the world with little to no opposition . America we will now reap the results of putting a man in office who had no military experience , plus a man with a left-wing base that hates the armed forces. What other decisions will this weak President make? It seems he is more interested in not offending the world's Muslim population then defending us from the threat of re-newed terrorism. I believe Mr. Obama should remember who he represents , not Islam , the people of the United States of America ! You are the Commander-in-Chief , ACT LIKE ONE!!
