Department of Defense announces essay contest to honor the deceased King Abdullah of Arabia
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2015 – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has established a research and essay competition in honor of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz hosted by the National Defense University.
The king, who died Jan. 23 at age 90, oversaw the modernization of his country’s military during the time he spent as commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard, a position he held from 1963 until he became king in 2005.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said the essay competition is a fitting tribute to the life and leadership of the Saudi Arabian monarch.
‘A Man of Remarkable Character and Courage’
Dempsey first met Abdullah in 2001, when he was a brigadier general serving as the U.S. advisor to the Saudi Arabian National Guard. “In my job to train and advise his military forces, and in our relationship since, I found the king to be a man of remarkable character and courage,” Dempsey said.
Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Frederick M. Padilla, the president of the National Defense University, welcomed the opportunity to challenge future students while honoring the late king.
“This scholarly research competition presents NDU students with a unique opportunity to focus their research and writing efforts on relevant issues at the intersection of U.S. security interests and the Arab-Muslim world,” he said.
Over at PJ Tattler they’ve already penned their entry. You can follow the link, but essentially, it boils down to this: “Rot in Hell, you bastard”.
Fine sentiments for the man who brought us 9/11 and state sponsored, world wide terrorism.
not even a stellar family man:

Is this a joke? No, I suppose not. It sounds more like an idea spawned by Barry’s brain trust – Rice and Jarrett. I assume that Dempsey had to grit his teeth to keep a straight face while signing out this one.
And while leaders from around the world were traveling to Auschwitz to commemorate the liberation, you-know-who was ignoring that event and instead paying homage to his recently departed buddy in Saudia Arabia.
Speaks volumes – eh?
But Peg, Ø did tweet about the liberation, a photo of himself. You expected more? The man can’t stand Israel, more specifically he doesn’t much care for Jews. Why on earth so many Jews support Ø is beyond me.
Because he’s a democrat?
Politics for $200 Alex.
Touché.
In all fairness, it’s a bit of a mystery to me too. I think that like a lot of progressives, he does a decent job of hiding his disdain for Israel and as president realizes that it’s useful to have an actually ally in the middle east. And you’re right, Jewish liberals are in denial about how he feels about them.
Richard: you think Ø does a good job of hiding his disdain? I’m one IQ point above retarded and I know the president can’t stand Netanyahu, has no respect for Israel, and could care less about their battle with the Palestinians.
An utter mystery to me about Obama and the Jews. Don’t understand it; can’t explain it. To me, yet one more example of how some of the world is flat out impossible to comprehend.
There’s a lot of antisemitism in black american culture. I think it’s tied up with resentment that another religious/ethnic minority has done better socioeconomically.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American–Jewish_relations#Black_anti-semitism
In the 1998 survey, blacks (34%) were nearly four times as likely as whites (9%) to fall into the most antisemitic category (those agreeing with at least 6 of 11 statements that were potentially or clearly antisemitic). Among blacks with no college education, 43% fell into the most antisemitic group (vs. 18% for the general population), which fell to 27% among blacks with some college education, and 18% among blacks with a four-year college degree (vs. 5% for the general population).[82]
I think he does a better job hiding his disdain for Israel than he does for the British, who he hates for their colonial era history. He had no problem giving the bust of Winston Churchill the boot from the White House and then lying about it:

He can be more open about this bias because British Americans aren’t a significant voting block.
So we have a president with an ideological hatred of our two most strategically important, reliable allies. What could possibly go wrong?
I did reply but my comment is waiting for moderation, probably because it included two links.

Thanks for the rampant misogyny, terrorists and beheadings, Pappy! XO, America.
His beheadings were inspirational!
I don’t know what’s wrong with you guys: here for you, at long last, a sanctioned opportunity to go with the flow. What are you waiting for? It’s time to join in.
I am surprised there is not more anti-semitism in the USA. Look who is in charge of the fed and of wall street. The tribe makes up 36%of the Forbes 400. What group has scooped up more resources than any other group in the entire country. What group controls Hollywood and the media and promotes all the social engineering and political correctness that wil be the ruin of America. Those are just a few of the facts.
In fact, the Jews and the Masons seem to have their hands on just a few too many of the levers of power. Perhaps they should be herded into camps and controlled until things improve.
Holy crap – can’t believe weakleyhollow goes there and believes it and the balls to post it – he probably is pro-life too.
You didn’t really take the bait, did you? I’m married to a rabbi, and I’m a Past Master. But I never discuss the ‘A’ word.
J’s have taken over Greenwich and Hamsteins too
Tribesmen have taken over and ruined Nantucket
Is there anyone you don’t hate? I don’t think you’ve covered handicapped people yet, so here’s your opportunity!
We’re pretty tolerant down here in Weakley Hollow, though we try to keep the coons and possums in their place.
Coons are the worst. They are not welcome in Greenwich. Possums suck too!
As a marsupial, I’m not sure that a possum really sucks 🙂
I do not know what a marsupial is but i do not like them I am sure. They are probably worse than hairy tribesmen.
And I definitely would not like to imbibe with them! 😦
