Quote of the day.....

Y'all recall Michelle Antoinette standing in the White House with a Tweet Hashtag sign about rescuing the missing girls in Nigeria....

Well, it had to happen:

"America’s toughest fighters, members of the elite Special Operations Forces, are watching with growing concern as the social-media hashtag #bringbackourgirls becomes an international campaign…
According to two well-placed defense department sources, senior Special Operations commanders — those in charge of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force and the Ranger Regiment — have told their men to be ready, assuming that eventually “the hashtag will bring us out.”
“We’re being tweeted into combat,” said a military official who spoke to NBC News but asked not to be identified."

Ain't that a sorry state of affairs we've arrived at early in this 21st Century?  

By the way, one last comment on BO's West Point speech -- I was honestly (don't know why though) caught by surprise when he announced that he is gonna ask Congress for an additional $5 Billion tax dollars to fight terrorism in Syria or something?  Last time I check, DOD's budget was half a Trillion dollars and the State Department's overseas spending budget was like...... large!

So why an additional $5 Billion?  Maybe those Islamist Terrorists in Syria are running out of ammo.
