Boots on the ground?

Transparency and the rule of law

You might think Obama and Kerry have no intention of sending American troops into harm’s way.

You’d be wrong. Read this statement from Obama very carefully:

TUESDAY Sept 3, 2013: President Obama, “So the key point that I want to emphasize to the American people: The military plan that has been developed by the joint chiefs and that I believe is appropriate is proportional. It is limited. It does not involve boots on the ground. This is not Iraq and this is not Afghanistan.”

He’s like a thief who bumps into you and apologizes so you don’t notice he’s picking your pocket. The very specific plan he’s referring to is limited and does not involve boots on the ground. And duh. We know this is not Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s Syria. He wants you to hear that sentence and conclude, without his actually saying so, that he has NO INTENTION OF EVER SENDING TROOPS IN ON THE GROUND. But that’s the lie. That’s the part where he’s stealing our trust from us to get what he wants, which is to be given the authority to send in tens of thousands of troops … ON THE GROUND.

Now carefully read this convoluted statement from Kerry:

TUESDAY Sept 3, 2013: SecState Kerry, “In the event Syria imploded, for instance, or in the event there was a threat of a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of al-Nusra or someone else and it was clearly in the interest of our allies and all of us, the British, the French and others, to prevent those weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of the worst elements, I don’t want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to a president of the United States to secure our country.”

He’s like a sheister who doesn’t want any provisions written into your contract that would make him legally liable for any of the dirty tricks he plans to pull on you after you’ve signed on the dotted line. He wants Congress to okay military intervention in Syria WITHOUT LIMITATIONS and just trust that they won’t order troops into harm’s way.

Now check out what Kerry says the very next day:

WEDNESDAY Sept 4, 2013: SecState Kerry, “There will not be American boots on the ground with respect to the civil war.”

“With respect to the civil war” … please see Obama’s prevarication re: “the military plan that has been developed by the joint chiefs” etc.

Why can we be sure these two are lying liars lying out their liar holes?

BECAUSE the Pentagon told Obama 18 months ago that there was no way to take away Syria’s existing WMDs or shut down their ability to make more WITHOUT putting boots on the ground. A LOT OF BOOTS.

Early 2012: Department of Defense report says that securing Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles and the facilities that produce them would probably require 75,000 ground troops.

And what PRECISELY did Kerry say Obama was asking Congress to give permission for?

“Authorization to degrade and deter Bashar al-Assad’s capacity to use chemical weapons.”

Do the math. If they get authorization to take out Assad’s WMDs, they’ll put tens of thousands of boots on the ground. QED.

Remember when Obama and Friends marched around chanting, “Bush Lied. People Died.”? Good times. Good times.

Community Organizer goes to war

Dennis Miller

EXCERPTS from Community Organizer goes to war by Ann Coulter – Sept 4, 2013

No Republican who thinks seriously about America’s national security interests — by which I mean to exclude John McCain and Lindsey Graham can support Obama’s “plan” to shoot blindly into this hornet’s nest.

  • It would be completely different if we knew with absolute certainty that Assad was responsible for chemical attacks on his own people. (I’m still waiting to see if it was a Syrian upset about a YouTube video.)
  • It would be different if instead of killing a few hundred civilians, Assad had killed 5,000 civilians with poison gas in a single day, as well as tens of thousands more with chemical weapons in the past few decades.
  • It would be different if Assad were known to torture his own people, administer summary executions, rapes, burnings and electric shocks, often in front of the victim’s wife or children.
  • It would be different if Assad had acted aggressively toward the United States itself, perhaps attempting to assassinate a former U.S. president or giving shelter to terrorists who had struck within the U.S. — someone like Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood terrorist.
  • It would be different if Assad were stirring up trouble in the entire Middle East by, for example, paying bounties to the families of suicide bombers in other countries.
  • It would also be different if we could be sure that intervention in Syria would not lead to a multi-nation conflagration.
  • It would be different if we knew that any action against Syria would not put al-Qaida or the Muslim Brotherhood in power, but rather would result in a functioning, peaceful democracy.
  • And it would be different if an attack on Syria would so terrify other dictators in the region that they would instantly give up their WMDs — say, Iran abandoning its nuclear program.

If all of that were true, this would be a military intervention worth supporting!

All of that was true about Iraq, but the Democrats hysterically opposed that war.

They opposed it even after all this was known to be true — indeed, especially after it was known to be true! The loudest opponent was Barack Obama.

  • President Saddam Hussein of Iraq had attempted to assassinate former president George H.W. Bush.
  • He gave shelter to Abdul Rahman Yasin, a conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
  • He paid bounties to the families of suicide bombers in Israel.
  • Soon after Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi was so terrified of an attack on his own country, he voluntarily relinquished his WMDs — which turned out to be far more extensive than previously imagined.
  • Al-Qaida not only did not take over Iraq, but got its butt handed to it in Iraq, where the U.S. and its allies killed thousands of al-Qaida fighters, including the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Iraq became the first genuine Arab democracy, holding several elections and presiding over a trial of Saddam Hussein.

Does anyone imagine that any of this would result from an Obama-led operation in Syria?

Americans oppose any military action in Syria

2013_09 03 America opposes ANY military action in Syria

NOT that what America or Congress wants means diddly to this corrupt administration. We learned that way back in the first months when they shoved ObamaCare down our throats against MAJORITY OPPOSITION that has only grown larger in the time since.

Key points: Obama’s plan would:

  • HELP al-Qaeda and their terrorist allies
  • HURT Israel severely
  • BROADEN the conflict to potentially World War proportions

“I didn’t join”

A couple of Facebook photos have gone viral. They purport to be of active duty military members anonymously protesting Obama’s plan for military action in Syria. If you haven’t seen them or the condemnation of them that some have expressed, then skip this.

This issue hits too close to home for me and I just need to have my say and then go back to praying for my kids.

The Oath of Enlistment says,

“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and “I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

9-11 plus 12

Obama isn’t talking about what Bush wanted in Iraq, which was to depose a brutal dictator who used WMDs on his own people and then stay to help the Iraqi people build a free (from al-Qaeda etc.) and democratic nation. Obama appears to want to send our military into Syria on behalf of the same extremist Muslim forces that perpetrated 9/11.

The Oath specifies a commitment to fight America’s enemies, not assist them.

2007 to 2013 Never mind

Obama has also been blatting about ordering our military into a conflict without congressional approval, which is illegal. He did it with Libya and suffered no consequences, so why shouldn’t we expect he could and would do it again? He called our armed forces “my military”, after all.

It’s not as simple as “shut up and serve.” The UCMJ makes every soldier personally responsible for refusing to follow an ILLEGAL order.

God help our troops who may very well be faced with the dilemma that once faced so many good Germans after an evil man named Adolf Hitler came to power.

Empty podium

2013_08 31 Empty podium

Waffles and Uncle Joe actually went GOLFING right after the speech. But what the hey.

The Secretary of State went yachting while Egypt burned and his U.N. Ambassador missed an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Syria because she was at a comedy film festival in Ireland.

President Bush’s last round of golf was October 13, 2003. As much as he loved the game, he said,

“I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf.”

I think I have to throw up now.

WTF

On Thursday, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper briefed 26 members of Congress about the situation in Syria.

2013_08 29 Sec Rice lists who was at mtg

Should we be surprised? No.

  • He played cards while Seal Team Six went after bin Laden.

2013_08 29 BHO skips Syria mtg to schmooze with bball star

  • Obama also sent Dennis Rodman to meet on his behalf with NoKo’s brutal dictator.

You really have to watch this video to get the full flavor of what a SICK JOKE Obama is for sending the likes of Dennis Rodman to represent the United States of America.  Talk about rodeo clowns.
