Not Knowing What To Do, Obama Will Close One Eye
And Fart.
It has been reported that over 100,000 people have been killed in Syria as a result of the so called civil war. Of course as we all know that no war is civil. So now Sec.Of State Kerry, one of the the three stooges of U.S foreign policy, replacing the former Madame Sec. Clinton. Who previously declared Assad a reformer. Gives a speech declaring that a gas attack has killed at least 1000 people. Nearly half of them children under the age of 18. I guess the ones that were killed conventionally with bullets and other means were not as important. Mr. Obama had an opportunity to intervene while the elements of those who were challenging Assad were not infiltrated with heavy extremist Islamic forces. Instead he drew a red line. That was crossed as easily as playing the children's game of hop scotch. Or reminiscent of the advancing in a game of "giant steps" without asking "may I ".
The red line was crossed earlier in the year and guess what ? Nothing happened. The logical assumption is that since nothing happened, one can do it again with impunity. Voila ! Assad did it again. Why not, Obama is considered a joke by our enemies and our friends as well. Who would want to follow some one who knows absolutely nothing about leading anyone, at anytime and under any circumstances. Obama can not even get the Brits to come on board. The French are willing because of their own interests that were formed when Syria was a French mandate after the First World War in 1919. No doubt that French economic interests in Syria are a factor that drives their pseudo humanitarian concerns in the area. Which includes Lebanon and Jordan. Also part of post WW1 deals where the French obtained spheres of influence in the area.
So now we are at the point of the placing of five U.S. naval warships in the area. These are not just any warships. These are high tech destroyers each with a total of 90 Tomahawk cruise missiles on board. What will he now do with those ships ? If he does use those ships and their explosive warheads, that cost a total of 1.5 million dollars each. How will he use them and to what end ? That is the question that has not been answered as of yet. No one knows, because he has not made up his mind. What we do know is that Mr. Kerry announced it will not be an extended attack and will only last a few days. We will not seek regime change, so Assad knows he is safe to continue in power if he can keep it. There will be no boots on the ground and he has already procrastinated long enough to allow Assad to move his chemicals and his air force. Then if Assad needs to, he will use the weapons again to save his own skin and that of his supporters. Which is a good part of his population. Mainly secular that don't want anything to do with an Islamic state.
What is the delay? Well first he must send out the other parts of his foreign policy team of Larry and Shep, who recently replaced Curly as Sec.Of State. Mr. Obama playing the part of Mo. To try to convince everyone that what every he does decide will be in the name of some honorable and moral rational. Or if that does not work. The argument of our national security being on the line. What ever it takes to try to save his face that has egg all over it as a result of his red line comment.
American opinion on the subject is not supportive of his vacillating approach. The man that thought leading from behind was the way to go when it came to Libya and other foreign policy problems, that needed armed intervention. Now finds himself having to lead from the front and alone. The reason is simple. No one trusts him. He has lied about almost every thing he has said he would do. His naivete about the world is evident and troubling to other world leaders. He will do what he always does in most situations that are problematic and threaten to expose his flawed ideas. He will run away and go on vacation. That is, he closes one eye and farts. Or look for someone to blame. It does not matter who it is. So run for the hills and do not get in the way of his bony index finger. Because the fickle finger of fate may point in your direction.
