Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
At what point in time do we ALL stop with the debate and begin sharing in the national embarrassment these two clowns represent? So much for the "majesty" of the office, Geraldo.
Apparently you have no idea just how stupid this video makes these two clowns appear. But, of course, they "go running" every day. Maybe he should take some time off, work on his health, and let the military deal with the Commies who are -- at this very minute -- invading the Ukraine.
I don't know, maybe something other than golf and talk - but cowards have nothing else to do, right? Look, we were the baddest country on the block, before Obama. Now, the world is in an uproar, the terrorists know we are not going to do anything. Ditto the Russians and the Chinese. If "war" is not a real threat, then sooner or later we all will be speaking a foreign language. But, hey !!, its all about peace and love, right, Moron?
Obama was on the phone to Putin for 90m today. WHat would you have him do redneck cowboy? Start throwing cruise missiles at the Russians? Would that satisfy you? Maybe kill a bunch of innocent people and start a war.... sounds good...right?
Under President Barack Obama, CIA drone strikes have killed 15 of the most important players in al Qaeda. there now remains only one leader of any consequence in al Qaeda and that is Ayman al-Zawahiri, His days are numbered. Abu Yahya al-Libi, the No.2 leader of al Qaeda - killed 2012 Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Anwar al-Awlaki Sept '11 - officials confirmed that al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan. In August, ‘Atiyah ‘Abd al-Rahman, the deputy leader of al Qaeda was killed. In June, one of the group’s most dangerous commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in Pakistan. In Yemen that same month, AQAP senior operatives Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan were killed. In Somalia, Al-Qa’ida in East Africa (AQEA) senior leader Harun Fazul was killed. Administration officials also herald the recent U.S./Pakistani joint arrest of Younis al-Mauritani in Quetta. August 2009, Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mahsud was killed in Pakistan. In September of that month, Jemayah Islamiya operational planner Noordin Muhammad Top was killed in Indonesia, and AQEA planner Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in Somalia. Then in December 2009 in Pakistan, al Qaeda operational commanders Saleh al-Somali and ‘Abdallah Sa’id were killed. In February 2010, in Pakistan, Taliban deputy and military commander Abdul Ghani Beradar was captured; Haqqani network commander Muhammad Haqqani was killed; and Lashkar-e Jhangvi leader Qari Zafar was killed. In March 2010, al Qaeda operative Hussein al-Yemeni was killed in Pakistan, while senior Jemayah Islamiya operative Dulmatin - accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings – was killed during a raid in Indonesia. In April 2010, al Qaeda in Iraq leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi were killed. In May, al Qaeda’s number three commander, Sheik Saeed al-Masri was killed. In June 2010 in Pakistan, al Qaeda commander Hamza al-Jawfi was killed.
First , you ask a question for which YOU have no answer.
Second and clearly, Obama is no match for Putin. Putin out maneuvered him on Snowden; made a laughing stock of Obama with the Syrian deal; and trumped America’s influence in the Middle East, since Obama took over the presidency and took up golf.
I would have dealt with Putin in the same ways Bush dealt with the man or Reagan with Russia, or JFK with Nikita.
Funny. You chide me for a strategy I do not believe in, namely "war first, talk later." You follow that bit of insightful crap with you bragging about how many Taliban Obama has killed. So who’s the cowboy, my little bicycling Marxist friend??
What is sad about your examples, true events as they are, is this: the Taliban/al Qaeda network is larger than it has ever been, more powerful, with more "staging area's" and training camps than ever before. And, Obama is going to give them Afghanistan, by the end of the year, to match his gift of Iraq, two years ago.
Your side is a joke and the world is laughing, if no one else.
What would you suggest... several hundred thousand US troops occupying Afghanistan and Iraq? How strong would the US look to the the Russians in that situation? They know, everyone knows... especially the Russians, Afghanistan is never a winnable situation. Of course it's easy to sit back and like an asshole and think you have all the answers.
Iraq should never have been invaded. Bush never finished the job in Afghanistan and turned tail and ran to Iraq, like Reagan turned tail and ran from Lebanon after the bombing.
We kept thousands of troops in Japan (12 years in Japan) and Germany, after WW II. 50,000 or still in Germany. Neither are "hot zones," of course, but, still serve the purpose of "additional military outposting" in a world that is or could be very hostile to our nation. China, has tripled the size of its military to 2.2 million, over the past 20 years. What would you do, continue to pretend that China/Russia/Radical Islam/North Korea are not serious threats to the US, in a world in which a "global domestic or civilian" reality is, now, the case? Build up or stick your head in the sand, these are your choices. We already know your answer as a peace and love pundit, but correct me if I am wrong.
Bush destroyed the Taliban, in Afghanistan, and every military review supports this conclusion. BUT, you are right, he should have never left that country and Obama is making the same huge mistake.
Iraq was critical to Bush because CLINTON AND GEORGE TENET (Clinton’s CIA director) TOLD HIM SO. Now that Obama has wasted the 4,000 lives lost in winning the Iraqi war, al Qaeda has moved back into that country, and is staging/training in Northern Iraq. If we had honored and moved on Bush's "status of forces" treatise with Iraq, Iraq, as a country, would be safe from Radical Islamic invasion, and Syria would not have the disaster it is now having - perhaps it might even be "free" as a sectarian Islamic nation - like Egypt once was, before the bumbling Obama came onto the scene, there.
Maybe, Slick, if Obama had not canceled the Bush treatises as to missile defense, with Georgia and Poland (neighbors to Ukraine), Putin would have stayed out of Ukraine. Maybe, Slick, if Obama had not promised to be "more flexible" after the 2012 elections, Putin would have some respect our president.
The real problem, of course, is the fact that Obama cannot think or speak above an 8th grade level and believes that his immature view of “fairness” is even shared by the despotism, throughout the world . How stupid is that? We are just now, finding out.
Your opponent, as you call him, seems to forget that the Afghan Was was and is Obama's war, if we go back to what Obama, himself said. He took us back into Afghanistan and has accomplished nothing, that I can see, in terms of military victory. There are schools opened for women, and that sort of thing, but the maggot terrorists are still there, just waiting for "Your Heinousness" to leave, so they can get back to the business of subduing the world.
BTW, I am one of those college educated women, you mentioned. Don't get too discouraged. I do think we are winning.
Role models... unlike the obesity that is represented by the red states, or Smithson who thinks exercise is putting his fat butt on a motorcycle.

ReplyDeleteLike you keep telling us, before this guy is done, he is going to get us all killed, unless he can talk the Russians to death.
ReplyDeleteAnd what would you suggest tough guy? War with Russia?
