Midknight Review -- new and revised: "The people" do not want war in Syria, but since we are no longer "the government," who really cares what "the people" think?"

Latest WaPost/ABC poll -- 59% oppose bombing

Latest Pew polling – 48% of Democrats say no, 40% of Republicans say no, and, 50% of Independents say no/ only 33% across the board support the proposed bombing.

NBC – 42% say yes while an even 50% say no.

Huffington Post – the most radical Leftist publication of the bunch, polled its readership and found only 25% support the bombing.

Here is the problem with the government doing something the people do not want (anyone tired of the fantasy that “we are our own government?”) : If the particular and unpopular action does not go well, those who initiated the action will be suffer at the voting booth. Look what ObamaCare is doing to the Democrat Party.

In spite of the fact that Progressive Republicans (Boehner, McCain, and the like) will support Obama in this idiocy, it will remain “Obama’s war,” and he and his party will share the blame or credit, depending on the perceived results.

And I say "idiocy," because (a) McCain and the others have no way of telling the good guys from the bad guys, despite his blow, otherwise. For McCain to believe that al-Qaeda will not take advantage of this decision, at all levels, simply demonstrates why we should all be glad that he did not win, in 2008. A second consideration, (b), finds that Obama's sense of "fairness" will prevent bombing action that will actually be meaningful. Let's remember that he lost the war in Afghanistan, turned Iraq into a loss, as well, and lost hundreds of military weapons in Libya. Heck, he can't even follow his own illegal gun cashe into Mexico! More than this, Obama has no clue how to wage war. He is an academic with no practical life experiences, even after five years of pretending to president. I wouldn't be surprised to find a map, "leaked" by this Administration, warning Syrian of our intended targets complete with dates and times for the attack(s) . . . . . that's how stupid I believe the new "warring class" of politicians is.

Feckless and inane, these are my words for what is about to happen. If this was a Reagan mission, I would support it.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
