The Admiral Speaks !!!!! ( That's all I got )

Admiral Mullen believes that America needs to "worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate"
Admiral say what?

What exactly does the Admiral think our actions are communicating? That we do not like terrorists, or that we do not like fighting a war overseas?
Wait, isn't that EXACTLY what our actions are supposed to communicate.
We will not, I repeat we will not stand for terrorists, terrorizing America and we will not allow people to know that we do not like fighting wars in middle eastern countries!

Admiral Mullen was not finished. He went on to say "Each time we fail to live up to our values or don’t follow up on a promise, we look more and more like the arrogant Americans the enemy claims we are.”
What are American values?
I will leave that to someone else.

But poor Obama. He worked so hard to make sure that the middle eastern countries did not think that Americans were a bunch of arrogant pricks.
Spoiler Alert: IT DIDN'T WORK! America is STILL at war with Iraq and Afghanistan. ( Newsflash) Apparently the American people were too quick to praise the presidents speech in Egypt on June 4th. ( Wow, Americans, to quick to praise. That's new.)


Not to mention that the missiles aimed towards Al Queda and the Taliban, in Pakistan, hit innocent civilians. Can you believe it, the missiles, they missed the targets and landed right on their shields ( I think these are the actions Admiral Mullen was talking about).

The Admiral believes that our actions are not saying the right things about us. They are not showing the real good ol' American values. He finishes off by saying "“We shouldn’t care if people don’t like us. That isn’t the goal. The goal is credibility. And we earn that over time.” Wait a second, if people are not supposed to like us, then I think that our actions are doing just fine. They are out there speaking for themselves. Hate words. Shouldn't that be perfection for Admiral Mullen?

“It’s not about telling our story,” said the Admiral “We must also be better listeners.”

I knew there was a moral in here somewhere. He wants us to LISTEN. Our actions should not make or break things, they should listen to things. Like Al Queda and Taliban terrorists. Everyone needs to be listened to now and again.

Out for now,
