The ships are already sailing and Barack Obama wanted some support from our allies...
And yes, President Obama really did get rid of the bust of Winston Churchill
Cluster Bombs won't help this Cluster...

I don't blame the Brits. I wouldn't back Barack's play either.
ReplyDeleteObama has no intelligent play. He's begun implementation of the JFK response to missiles in Cuba, without the brains to realize that "moves" per se are meaningless if there is no plan and no back up plan.
ReplyDeleteEdutcher said on an open thread at "Comment Home", presciently I fear ...
Now that he's been humiliated (largely by himself) in a way that's never happened to him before, does that make it more likely he'll do something even more dangerous and irresponsible to make up for it?
The danger for us all is precisely that...that Obama might do the most irresponsible thing imaginable. In a "field" that is not just one island and a cold war antagonist 6000 miles away, but a region that is already aflame and veering out of control. He and his administration has made wrong calls on nearly everything, from who they backed in Honduras right up to who they back in Egypt today.
Let's hope some minion collars the idiot and sits him down, now.
Then again, the voice of reason may be (ironically) Valerie Jarrett, only because she will have a hard time picking sides when Hezbollah and Iran are backing the Assads and al Qaeda is backing the rebels. I do not share Valerie Jarrett's sympathies, but for opposite reasons staying out is the best course. Our policy should be about containment of the insanity in Syria, not intervention. If the Frogs want to go back into Syria, let them.
DeleteIndeed. All his other blunders will look like spectacular successes when compared to the outcome of his ordering an attack on Syria.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ari.
ReplyDeleteThe first war vote shot down in Parliament since 1782.
That says it all.
The man who believed that his election would cause the oceans to stop rising is possessed of an unquenchable ego. He has drawn a rhetorical 'red line' from which he can find no escape. His ego demands that he does something, something that looks 'masculine', according to others in the administration.
ReplyDeleteHe'll fire cruise missiles into Syria, after giving the Syrians plenty of advance warning. And by doing so he may start World War III. Perhaps he wants that, at least in the sense of being the Muslim who caused Israel to be wiped off the map.
Obama's follies.
