Obama Has This Thing Right (Hoping The Author Is Facetious)
Townhall.com ^ | October 12, 2014 | Bruce Bialosky

I know it is hard to believe, but I think after six years that President Obama has finally nailed something. He has this thing going on in Iraq and Syria right and he is leading this country in the correct direction.

First, he is right in saying that they are not really Islamists. After all, our President obviously is very knowledgeable about the history of the Muslim religion. He probably knows more about it than any of our scholars because Obama has in depth knowledge of these matters. These people could not be acting in the name of Islam or Mohammed by being so violent and murderous. Even referring to them as ISIL or ISIS infers they are part of Islam. The only positive solution is that we all referred to them henceforth as “Those People.”

President Obama has it right – no American boots on the ground. After all we have the best Air Force in the world which should be able to bomb Those People back to the Stone Age. And wouldn’t that make everyone happy since that is where they want to be living and that is where we want them so it is a happy result for everyone involved. We just need to carpet bomb the entire area. Once the surface is indistinguishable from Mars then we can send in hundreds of drones to pick off anything that moves except for desert lizards, of course, since they are an endangered species.

This plan exceeds any that would actually send American troops into the area. We can rely on the Kurds in the North who are with us all the way. We will just tell them after they lose hundreds of foot soldiers being our ground forces that we still are thinking about whether they should have their own country. We will establish an international commission that will get to that decision right quick because these matters are always handle so well by the U.N.

And the Iraqi forces will now belly up to the bar and take on Those People. Those old days of leaving the battlefield and abandoning the expensive armaments to Those People that the U.S. provided to them are over. This was all because of Nouri al-Maliki messing things up and not listening to our President and his Secretary of State, John Kerry. Since we got rid of him everything will be peachy with the Iraqi Army, so why would anybody in their right mind think we would need American troops.

We definitely should not call this a war. That would only upset people. We can call it a hostility or a conflict or a struggle or maybe a police action. Here it is - let’s call it a movement. That will sound like we are involving a lot of people and it does not sound violent. That is it; we are making a movement against Those People.

Last, I agree that our Congress should hold a vote in favor of this movement. The Congress should stand behind our president and endorse what he is doing. I agree that we need to limit the time period though because this should not be a never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way. My proposal is we limit this movement against Those People to July 17, 2015. You may be asking why that date? That is two weeks before the baseball trading deadline and Americans should not have to worry about whether we are winning the movement against Those People and if their baseball team will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. That is too much pressure for our citizens to have to face.

There you have it. Our president is doing this right. He will be bombing Those People into submission while he directs this movement, but no longer than July 17, 2015. You have to love this plan and you have to love our president.

Change the author's name to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the dripping stops instantly.

Well, heck yeah. If he means bringing the country down to it’s knees, then he does have it right.

Facetious

Well done satire...

If you read it without knowing who the author was, it would read like some retarded liberal musing in their bizarro worldview...

Townhall has taken a sharp turn to the left with publication of an article with this line in it:
“ These people could not be acting in the name of Islam or Mohammed by being so violent and murderous.”

Muslims have always been so violent and murderous because Islam demands it of them - and if they refuse to be violent and murder in the name of Allah they are called ‘apostate’ and the other Muslims kill them.

Understand your enemy.

Islam is America’s enemy.

It must be too early in the morning for everybody .. this is hilarious .. and it’s not only sarcasm, it’s comedic .. which just about fits everything this admin is doing.

I especially loved the comment about how the UN handles everything so well. If you weren’t falling over laughing at that comment .. then please have another cup of coffee.

Actually, this really shows how childish, immature, idiotic and unreasonable this administrations’ assessments are regarding America and the rest of the world.

Read it again, using my comment - and you’ll be rolling on the floor laughing. That should lift your spirits.

And .. maybe some of the dems will suddenly get a glimpse of why our country is running to the right at Mach 10.

The next job is .. and you thought the election would solve everything ..???, now WE THE PEOPLE have to hold the new congress accountable. Put them on your phone’s speed-dial and let them know exactly how you feel about anything they’re doing. Key: No swearing; no screaming. I’ve found laughing and saying, “... you’re kidding right ..??” seems to have more affect, and causes more squirming.

Good luck Everybody!!!

Came from Jim-Rob himself that he wanted satire to be labeled as such so there was no confusion (which makes those who don't pick up on the satire look stupid when they post as if it was true - reflects poorly on all of us if some DUmmies decide to have some fun).

I'll take your comment as a rhetorical overhead vs. a direct personal slam...scarecrow
