Obama's education record

Key quote: "School reform advocates in Chicago have of late been heralding Barack Obama as a champion of local school councils, Chicago's hyperlocal system of school governance."

Every 1 year delay in drilling for USA oil=10 more years dependency on foreign oil, which =20 more years of fighting radical Islamic terrorists

Is the American public ready to consider endorsing Obama’s position, that calls for the enlarging of our troops in Afghanistan, which could last as long as 15, 20 or 50 years? Obama’s statement that we do not have the resources to finish what we started in Iraq, then do wet have the infinite resources to jump into a 10year, 20year, or 50 year prolonged war in Afghanistan?

Why are Democrats not ready to finish the job in Iraq and assist Iraq in rebuilding a democratic society and set up bases there just like was done in Germany, South Korea and Japan when we assisted those countries in protecting our democracy and theirs? It would be most helpful to all American voters if you would get the following talking points and these many questions out in the open for the general public prior to the November elections?

Obama, has stated that the Afghanistan war "that is the war we must win" and "we can not allow a terrorist sanctuary in Pakistan” Ask the question, what is Obama’s time frame and exit strategy for getting American troops out of Afghanistan? Does he have one?

Why are there NO Muslim countries sending Muslim troops to Afghanistan to help another Muslim country fight radical Islam, sponsored by Al-Qaeda and Taliban, in Afghanistan? Why are the largest Muslim countries like – Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nigeria NOT sending their Muslim troops to fight radical Islam in fellow Muslim countries? Why are the Muslim troops from Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Cameroon, Egypt, Guinea and Morocco, to mention a few, not helping to stop radical Islam terrorism in Afghanistan? Why are there not more European and NATO countries in this fight against radical Islamic terrorists? Why are Russia and China not helping?

Until Muslim countries come to the plate, with their troops to help a fellow Muslim country, why are we not taking a long and serious look at Obama’s proposal for enlarging and escalating the war in Afghanistan, without any time frame or exit strategy?

Does Obama not know or realize that terrorist sanctuaries already exist in Pakistan and indeed Iran? We all know that Iran is a terrorist sponsored state of radical Islam and is looking to develop an atomic bomb? Should we not be keeping our military resources for that country (Iran)?

What percentage of Muslim populations in Muslim countries feel that attacks on innocent people are completely unjustified? What per cent of Muslims in these Muslim governed countries know that the Koran prohibits the killing of innocent people regardless of their individual religion? What per cent of Muslims are against radical Islam? These questions must be asked and answered by Muslim governments.
