RUSH: So I checked the e-mail again, and I can guarantee what's gonna happen. When I quote an e-mail asking me, "Why aren't you doing X?" then the, "Why aren't you doing Y?" crowd shows up, and the next crowd asks, "Why aren't you spending more time talking about what Obama's doing in Syria with ISIS and ISIL?" I'll tell you why. Because I don't think he even cares what he's doing!
This is an absolute joke. John Kerry gets up there and says absolutely inane things. He was taken to down by Bob Corker yesterday, sent Boxer shuttering away in tears. We got the sound bites coming up. Kerry doesn't know what he's talking about. Hagel doesn't know what he's talking about. The generals know what they're talking about, and they're actively being ignored.
This isn't about beating ISIS, is why.
This is all because Obama's poll numbers are falling.
I'm not gonna get roped into talking about this the way the soap opera writers demand that it be talked about. "Can this revive the Obama presidency?" Screw that! That's not what this is about. We're sending 3,000 troops to fight Ebola? We won't send 3,000 troops to protect our border! We won't send 3,000 troops there -- we won't admit that that's what we're doing -- to stop terrorists that want to wipe us out.
We're gonna send the Iraqi army and the Syrian army, who are supposedly somehow gonna become loyal to us? What the hell? It's stupid, folks. It is asinine. The generals know it's stupid, but they can't just out and say it. They're getting as close to try to tell everybody how literally wacko this is out actually saying it because they can't be insubordinate. But, for crying out loud, Barack Obama, commander-in-chief?
That's scary. John Kerry has already demonstrated that he is clueless. Chuck Hagel, ditto. We knew that back when he was a proud Republican. But the whole motivation behind this is once again to improve Obama's chops in the polls. That's why we're doing this. Three weeks ago, he didn't have a strategy. Three weeks ago, they were the JV team. Now we've done a 180.
When there's something relevant, really important about this to talk about, you can count I'm gonna be right there. But I'm not gonna get roped in to talking about this in identically the same way you see it on cable news or standard news, wherever you see it. Because it's all being talked about in the same way. The same questions are being asked by the same people about the same people.
The same analysts are coming up with the same opinions about this or that, but nobody will tell you that this is an absolute embarrassment and that the only reason this policy is being undertaken is because of the November elections.
Earlier, someone posted an article which contained the following observation by Wehner:
An interesting look at the evolution of some of Kerry's views on the use of America's military and its CIA might be of passing interest now, given some of his recent statements.
When he first ran for Congress in 1970, the Harvard Crimsom ran a lengthy article by Samuel Z. Goldhaber about him and his candidacy.
The following is a brief excerpt from Goldhaber's piece:
He supports a volunteer Army, "if and only if we can create the controls for it. You're going to have to prepare for the possibility of a national emergency, however." Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."(End of excerpt)On other issues, Kerry wants "to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care."
Uh, durrrr...
Barack Obama.....Commander-In-Thief
His biggest problem in this situation is that he
SUPPORTS ISIS
but knows that Americans wouldn’t stand for it if he declared it openly.
So, he’s got to appear to be doing something without actually doing something.
The U.S. Senate votes on Zer0’s “plan” today at 5:30 Eastern Time.
Kerry should know by now that the UN is not our friend. Why would he want our actions pursuant to UN policy? I would say it’s because Kerry is not our friend,either. Him & many others right here comprise the “enemies within”.
they needed a reason to attack Assad.. they created ISIS to give pretext to launch an air campaign...of course to expand the caliphate
