So the President is currently trying to sell his plan for
attacking Syria to Congress and the American people. Even though polls basically show that 80% of
Americans oppose aggression against Syria – the President is still pushing his
idea. He’s getting backing from
unexpected sources such as Senator John McLame and House Speaker John
Boehner.
McLame has crossed the aisle so much in the last couple of
years there are probably wheel marks on the carpet between him and the
left. So it’s not really a big surprise. He’s basically echoing his RINO buddy,
Lindsay Graham. But Boehner’s crossover
has been more recent. Not only is he
going to vote to allow the President to attack Syria but he’s also fighting
conservatives who want to defund Obamacare.
After being highly critical of it, he won’t defund it when he has the
opportunity.
I can’t help but wonder what it is that Obama and the
Democrats have on the House Speaker. He
was, or at least he seemed to be a solid Republican when he first became
Speaker. Maybe not a solid conservative
but he at least stood up for Republican ideals and traditions. It seems that’s no longer true.
Despite unfounded intelligence linking Bashar al-Assad to
the chemical weapons deaths in Syria recently, and a rebel faction saying they
did it accidentally by mishandling chemical weapons supplied to them for Al
Qaeda by Saudi intelligence officials, the President has decided his only
option is to attack Syria. After all –
he drew the red line and now has to back it up.
Wait – now he says he didn’t draw the red line. He says the world drew it. On Aug 20, 2012 he made the following
statement: "We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological
weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people. We have been very clear
to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line
for us is if we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or
being utilized. That would change my calculus."
So today, once again, he’s asking the American people and
the world “Who are you going to believe – me or that lying video?”
Obama has no backing in this move to strike Syria. Great Britain’s Parliament voted not to
assist in the effort and there are no other countries (besides France) who are
in support of it. And France isn’t
actually willing to do anything – they’re just supporting Obama.
I heard a news report a little while ago that says McLame
has changed his mind, again. Now he’s
against it.
DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke with Wolf
Blitzer last evening and said “There are dozens of countries who are in support
of this action and willing to help.”
Blitzer: “Dozens of
countries willing to join us in an assault on Syria?”
Wasserman Schultz: “That’s
right. Dozens who are in support of it.”
Blitzer: “Which countries?”
Wasserman Schultz: “I’m
not at liberty to say. But there are
many.”
Yeah… OK. It’s so easy to make up facts when you refuse
to be specific about anything.
A strike on Syria is not going to do anything. And we still don’t know for sure who is
actually responsible. Rebels say they
did it.
One thing is certain – if Obama attacks the Assad regime he
is aiding and abetting Al Qaeda – which could be treasonous. Many members of our own military are opposing
this action for that reason. They say
they did not join the U.S. military to fight alongside Al Qaeda. Obama should really consider that. But since he purged the military of all
leadership who said they would not fire upon Americans – maybe he’s not worried
about a military uprising.
Bill O’Reilly is supporting an attack on Syria saying that
America will lose credibility if we don’t act. Like some others it seems Bill believes we should support the President whether or not we believe he's lying. He cites the liberal response to G.W. Bush invading Iraq. The difference is that Democrats (excet for.... Senator Obama) supported the invasion of Iraq until after it was over. Then they turned on Bush.
Bill – I agree with a lot of things you say but you’re wrong on this
one. Even your military expert guests
have said that. And I’ve got news for
you… America has been losing credibility
every day that Obama has been President.
