"Now This Was AuD-DAYcious!!"

My uncle made the “jump” on D-Day with the 101^st Airborne Division into France; he received a Silver Star, and he never talked about it. The landing on Omaha Beach was a massive undertaking. The entire operation consisted of Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno and Sword beaches and were over 50 miles in length. This combined effort used more than 5,000 ships from landing crafts to battle ships, plus an air attack with plane loads of paratroopers filling the skies. Americans, British and Canadians joined forces to drive the occupying NAZI forces inland in the greatest land invasion in military history. Napoleon, Caesar and Attila the Hun never attempted an invasion on the scale of “Operation Overlord”.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower was the commander during this operation, and he handled it like the military master that he was proven to be by historians ever since that fateful day.

Over 150,000 troops from the Allies landed against 28,000 fortified well placed NAZI soldiers. General Eisenhower knew he would be sending thousands of young soldiers into a situation that would result in many of their deaths, and he didn’t take his decision on June 6^th, 1944 lightly. He rarely spoke about his decision, a decision which altered the course of World War II. Ike knew it was more than a glorious moment; it was a victory achieved through the blood of thousands of young men who would never see the results of their dedication and bravery. General Eisenhower never referred to Operation Overlord as an “audacious plan”; he was too humble to say such a self-serving thing.

Vice-President Joe Biden, you know, Barack Hussein Obama’s comedy relief, made a statement about the death of Osama bin Laden. Joe said the plan to find Osama bin Laden and kill him was “the most audacious military plan in 500 years”; somebody should follow Joe around just to keep him from making such ridiculous remarks.

Really, Joe, are you kidding me? This was the greatest plan since 1512!? I’ll admit that getting rid of Old Osama was a good thing, but bigger than D-Day, or the use of the Atom Bomb to end WWII, or George Washington leading his men across the Delaware when they had nothing to eat and no hope other than the hope they placed in God. I think Joe needs a High School History lesson in a hurry. Jack Kennedy faced down the largest nuclear threat in American history; even that might rank a little higher than Osama’s death.

In an administration that has been rampant with failures and poor decisions, I don’t think one instance of competency will save it; you better find something else to hang “the Obama hat on”. Dead bin Laden is good; failed economy, huge unemployment and unbelievable fuel cost is not good. Failed investment in the “green initiative” and huge losses in home values are also not very good, and I’m not hearing anything from Joe about that stuff!

Perhaps the election of Barack Hussein Obama is the most “audacious mistake” in American political history. Perhaps, besides Osama’s corpse rotting, we may face a rotting American corpse if we re-elect Barack Hussein Obama in November of 2012!
