To Quote Casey Stengel.....



" Doesn't Anyone Here Know How to Play This Game " ?

Casey Stengel said this to the New York Mets baseball team when he was the manager of the loosing franchise. I think if he was around today, he would be standing on the White House steps and repeating his famous quote. It seems the Obama team does not know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to anything other than buying votes with tax payer money. The three stooges of foreign policy. Obama, Hagel and Kerry. Are now going to stand around wondering how to make a decision, without making a decision.  So like so many times under this president the standard operating procedure is to stand or sit or kneel or crouch in a circle. The purpose is to make sure no one can pin down what direction they are facing. This latest debacle as far as Syria is concerned. Is just another indication of putting your finger up your butt.  Then blame the finger.  Mr. Obama, our great leader has put his foot in his mouth when he uttered the "crossing the red line comment". Now he wants congress to help him extract it from that oral orifice that has the golden forked tongue wrapped around his big toe. Trouble is that he only has one hand to do it himself. The other hand is occupied. You know where it is and what it will be doing if things don't work out. He will be pointing blame.  Why would anyone want to follow a leader who does not know where he is going himself.  The only thing he has done is telegraph the pitch that is going to be thrown. This guy Obama does not know how to play this game. The aim of the game is prudent and effective leadership and not letting the other team know what your strategy is. I guess the element of surprise is gone. I think that would be safe to say ?

Sen. Barbara Boxer for one will vote in favor of the attack. Limited though it may be. She says because chemical weapons are involved and it is our moral duty. Isn't that interesting. She had absolutely nothing to say when it came to light that Saddam killed 5000 Kurds with chemical weapons. Where was the outrage then from all these senators like Boxer and Smith ?  This exercise is a result of a president that has no clue of how the game is played.  He is a card shark's dream. I would love to play poker with Mr. Obama. At the end of the night I would be living in the WH. Why should anyone follow this guy. When we still have no answers on Bengazi. Heck, we can't even get the guys who attacked the embassy in Libya.

No boots on the ground, limited warfare. Well in my long memory and historical knowledge, we have never been able to attain that after military action is taken. Limited action is dangerous. Have we all forgotten when we put 250 plus Marines in Lebanon as a small show of force what happened. We lost them to bombs of those who didn't want us there. Now Assad will move all the weapons we want to eliminate they will be put in Syrian schools,  hospitals and so on. Then what, when the children and sick will die and it will be us that kills them ?  Fact is this is out of Obama's league. He is a light weight that will be coming head to head with Putin. Who do you think will win ?
