Thank you, Mr. President for tackling America's security challenges!



In the face of harsh criticism, you are doing everything in your power to properly balance the principles of freedom and national security.

In the face of harsh criticism, you are using tools that limit collateral damage and at the same time putting less American soldiers in the line of fire.

In the face of harsh criticism, you sit anxiously in the White House situation room and make the calls we entrusted you to make when we cast our vote for you.

You may deserve some of the criticism. What you don't deserve, however, is to be disrespected with disgusting labels like "war criminal" for being forced to make decisions that most of your harshest critics can't even comprehend making. Perhaps one day they will understand the depths and challenges required to serve as America's commander-in-chief. Perhaps most do, but for some reason are blinded with their hatred for you.

I, for one, Mr. President, reserve all judgment and thank you for a job well done in calling the shots that need to be called in situations that are extraordinarily more complex and require more complex decisions than 'do it' or 'don't do it.'
