And -- -- want to welcome back to our microphones that John Celsius co-founder of boat vets dot org he has served twice in Iraq.
You know it's funny eleven as a a major helping train the Iraqi Army before the removal of US troops -- the 2003 to captain during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
And it was a tank platoon leader in the Kosovo conflict unwelcome -- -- again.
-- -- -- Yeah it's amazing to me you've got actually two swept voter groups -- -- try to swift boat Barack Obama.
And -- they claim to be I guess some of them are former Navy SEALs.
I don't get there's a web video featuring his former special forces.
Guys.
Accusing the president taking too much credit for the killing Osama bin Laden I guess -- his remarkable.
You know everywhere else -- was -- -- horrible -- Michael for content -- says -- charisma and Marty got a lot like well.
You're gonna go back and -- well actually we we think the president orders all for China's on the lot.
And relatively you have to ensure that again and so are we adhere to is certainly does it do you -- the country and what's behind them as a neo conservative agenda and they don't like to think that videotape edited out the fact the president bit thanked the troops and I think that that -- -- -- on.
A bit of birds that are retired general as a burglar doesn't think the party activist born America.
As -- I don't think they've got at all I think it.
You know they put this channels or TV that the talks and he had no idea what you're talking optional for humanity.
Yeah and so -- -- -- after -- they're talking about.
You know you're gonna have a different opinion of -- you know.
Like -- you wanna support the ball I -- it was first 13% of the matter demonstration.
That there may round it wins or if you want analysts warn -- can't -- -- -- You know talk about the fact that Mitt Romney or tax bracket and have to -- with a -- -- -- country and other deployed -- -- security -- in Iraq and Afghanistan but he doesn't.
We could have a conversation but we don't have a right to do is come on national TV and a lot of thank you don't have.
Going to come on television and lie and so I sort of felt that certain agenda behind this group that that they -- not large.
And -- Beijing where these Cuba they're talking about when he really -- -- in the fact that.
There will be no that the presidential the lot but there are good -- what you think that you actually -- there -- -- up.
They get two groups one -- called -- -- former found by former navy seal the Sutherland special operations speaks.
Dedicated to convincing voters the president hates the military the founder that what is this guy Larry Bailey who says he's a -- there.
-- to admit practically the use of birth -- Doesn't anything -- personal friends that you would equate them to people that the government attacked our country and all of them or people who don't -- -- into the order.
-- doesn't -- -- and it's a shame because I think you know -- -- over the holidays -- was voted for Obama -- -- board but it will really.
Why is it bring out injured can associate with with with clout.
And that's embarrassing why this guy that this guy Bailey who says he's a -- -- also believes.
That.
The president is not actually the son of Barack Obama senior.
But is the love child of and Dunham.
His mother and this.
Communist guy Franklin Frank Marshall Davis that's one of the theories -- been going around in wing -- circles.
That Barack Obama is not really the son -- -- -- you couldn't.
It's great there's no political here we have mirrors in and -- in middle America on the -- actually able.
I actually hit it band.
Well I don't think the presidential and parliamentary -- Richards I mean lake and you know I spoke to a Portland background there but called that -- -- -- recovery that.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- We we -- millions of dollars of political ads and campaigns -- -- candidates in your recovery and in -- obviously it looks to -- -- a group of veterans -- You know are they -- background like whether or not there's been alarming the president.
Change meant a lot it's like they're not they're not understanding about.
The fact that there's a burger and a video what that each of them -- That you know they talk about -- -- operational security and whether another deadly talks but let's take a look at the facts of the facts but I'm not aware audience flight.
And that the leaks that -- him.
From the press parts of the threats about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq we sources in the Pentagon intelligence.
Talk about the fact that that vice president chief of staff Scooter Libby was.
Arrested and sent to jail for implication on obstruction of justice work out you know the CIA classified secret CI agent -- There really is -- husband Joseph Wilson west.
How about evidence that -- they had -- the country has -- meeting has been an upgrade and -- -- the only -- Utley.
Has been due out CIA agent -- the prior administration.
You know and -- -- indirectly supporting Mitt Romney by attacking the president is that he would not kill that it would not.
You know -- have ever shall solve -- -- So it's completely ridiculous and that's I think what we can debate the issue -- debate the issue of any help serve the country -- right after that that you don't have a like a lot.
It's a -- and pray that they these guys a look at what happened with Kerry in the swift -- thing which had some effect I guess they think they can do the same thing to Barack Obama with Kerry here they took a decorated veteran.
A guy with silver star purple hearts and try to diminish.
And -- by doing that don't they diminish anybody and everybody in the military who served -- it was a new was -- rewarded with those -- of metal -- that -- to -- to -- only John Kerry didn't deserve them.
That that's -- Attacks on John Kerry or worse than that and the reason is because Barack Obama has never served in the military -- and attack his personal service.
Shelby attacks on John Kerry or worse that -- this doesn't mean it citizens swift -- ballot I mean there.
It's immoral -- wrong but you know we got some -- here -- personal wanted to find a lot we let the candidate that he was in Vietnam better.
And and you know that's part of a lot more enjoys on the -- you know he.
Keep being done a lot of the president -- -- airplanes repeal don't have to tell you mollify you bill you're gonna toward Iraq and so.
The president made a terrible decision until -- all the -- and information about Portland they would use it like yeah she.
I think it which it called Jimmy Carter delta force.
-- you certain of the finest -- the other end and -- actually -- in this country on the U.
That bin Laden raid had result into the death of any American soldiers.
They would say that blood is on the hands of Barack Obama.
Absolutely and so what this is the insecurity of so many new conservatives that are so upset about the fact that didn't report that it -- the Iraq War.
Who except for your country are going to be extra -- Afghanistan who -- Solely responsible for ordering emissions actually on the -- Other all of our problems a packet to any territorial many Republicans including John McCain when he ran against has said that they would do that.
So I think there's certain security over the years.
You know they are foreign policy decision -- or that this.
Are we don't even know hundred Mitt Romney's foreign policy would be in the neither he nor Paul Ryan a foreign policy experience what do we know little about what Romney would you -- senate before troops at cutting.
Veterans and benefits what do we know but what and Romney would.
Well I think we do know who -- -- -- when it comes to foreign policy that people around him aren't you know conservatives who was George Bush.
So.
Yeah speaking -- you listen -- Iraq in December and November came on the one fact.
That the Iraqi coalition which is approaching a pro Iranian coalition.
-- -- normality -- -- and a about -- other governing coalition to -- an extension of US troops.
Without fracturing the coalition because certain people -- a coalition wanted US troops to be.
Subject to Iraqi courts -- we wouldn't have enjoyed immunity so what else what form plot were out here.
And so Mitt Romney on the other hand -- -- chief US troops in Iraq.
Okay and they'll say we we would have done it -- it but apparently not negotiate the spotlight that Mitt Romney wanted to -- US troops in Iraq after December 31 to go over allotment.
-- -- The real discussion understanding what that meant.
What community what would.
In the Yukon public US troops to Iraq about it that's the question that you answer over that can't get you know you month.
The other president coo and -- -- mater and target in one -- frankly don't agree with.
I I don't believe in our search strategy there -- on the types of -- ritual than a lot I think our footprint could be much slower.
I think we should switch over for a counterinsurgency posturing the villages to -- -- and it's just yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah as we prepare them.
You know consolidate them so they can -- the -- with the Taliban took a lot of space for president last year means sixty bucks in the country.
The -- that would support the president's golf is important -- he's -- civil -- he got a lot of money what's more troops for Afghanistan.
If you really chipped it to the Republican Party -- -- you know what he did it.
And so I think it's very clear that he Tibetans and neo conservative when it comes to America or policy that she wants to not the wealthiest Americans -- not pay taxes.
-- -- top 2% but he wants to continue to borrow money from China fight for -- And went for the Republican Party normally -- in regard to the veterans administration Allen Paul Ryan budget cuts in the 13% cut from the president's budget when it comes with -- -- administration.
It's.
It's it's eleven billion dollars well less money to take care of our veterans it's -- -- budget -- doesn't do the work better.
The entire time in regards to who -- invited our Jim -- what they -- of the veterans administration of George Bush in each year.
In the crawl back to congress that furniture -- billion dollars because.
They have -- her missed projected their -- when he was.
The editor the advocate and expects every -- yes and that coupled with an a couple of -- going to be over a you know look at -- -- -- what we're talking about someone put on TV talk with a -- -- that.
You know big big big chip on my -- other issues.
That's amazing and it's important.
Highways are serious this is we're talking about and -- these upset guys are.
-- -- sideshow but that they have to be in their place and then put in we have to understand where they're coming from Jenna appreciate you as always coming on the program it's vote vets dot org is your website.
