President Barack Obama must take his head out of the sand and admit to himself and the country that the United States is broken and almost beyond repair.

Many other countries are getting stronger and realize that the U.S.A. is going downhill at a rapid pace. The U.S. pays out billions of dollars to other countries so they can build up their military to protect themselves from the real enemy that visited the U.S. on 9/11. This country has put itself in a no-win situation.

Obama and members of Congress have not been able to pass any of the high priority bills because of the greed at the core of the government. They should stop trying to run Syria and the rest of the world.

The U.S. is not going to solve anything by attempting to destroy weapons that have probably been relocated since the gas attack. U.S. weapons strikes will just make matters worse. The missions would be a complete failure that would kill more innocent people.

People must keep in mind that if things do not change in Washington, D.C., this country will lose everything that the nation’s brave armed forces fought for through the years.

The U.S. will be ruled by a country that grew stronger as the U.S. weakened.
