When demonstrably smart people say or do demonstrably dumb things, it's always useful to try to tease out why -- the cloaked motive, analysis, or desperation ploy behind the seeming obtuseness. So why did President Barack Obama offer a reheated soufflé of failed strategies against ISIS (or ISIL, as he annoyingly insists on styling it) in his speech from the Oval Office? Many people considered it "More Mush From the Wimp," the derisive title a prankish copy editor at the Boston Globe once put on dummy copy of an editorial about a lame talk by President Jimmy Carter. Does Mr. Obama still fail to understand the ISIS threat? Is he an American Chamberlain, too soft to confront a murderous fascist threat? Is he more interested in shielding American Muslims from backlash and banning assault weapons than honoring his oath to defend the homeland? The correct answer is none of the above. Rather, I suspect the President has made what he considers a shrewd and historically valid judgment of the situation -- but one that he dare not share outside his innermost councils.
It is that the conflict in the Middle East is essentially a sectarian holy war pitting Shia Muslims against their Sunni neighbors and extremist Sunnis against their more moderate brethren. The Syrian civil war is the current cockpit of the struggle with the Shia bastion of Iran (and now the Russians, with their restive Muslims south of the Caucasus) intervening to prop up President Bashir al-Assad against his Sunni enemies. The Iranians have turned Iraq into a virtual client state and control the Gaza strip bordering Sunni Egypt through Hamas and much of Lebanon through Hezbollah.

Sadly, the best defense is rarely the least offense.

The undocumented, unvetted, BC-missing liar in the
White Mosque is an Indonesian Moslem complicitly
aided by the “US” Congress and the MSM.
As a result, the pRes_ _ent can say any lie,
and NEVER, ever be criticized.
Even the most blatant lie is nevver criticized. The president can show up with one eye closed and the other barely open for a presser, and no one will ask what is wrong with him.
“Demonstrably smart”???
When has BHO ever demonstrated higher intelligence?
Yes, another theory to circumvent the truth that Obama is an anti-American muslim sympathizing communist jerk as anyone willing to face reality can readily see.
fact rather than theory
Obama is running out the clock
This is spiritual warfare taking place right in front of us, and we have the blood of saints on our hands in this battle because we elected that evil creature to rule over us not once but twice, even after we knew what it was,
Obama and those given over to him along with McCain, Lindsey, Jeb, Kasich and the GOPe are all reprobates as described in Romans 1:28, given over to doing those deviant things that make no sense to the natural mind, void of sound judgement.
This is a spiritual incursion and this evil reprobate obama administration is playing its role by increasing and supporting Islams demonic authority over western (Christian) locations,
The more mayhem and destruction that ISIS brings to the west exploiting this manufactured crisis, the more freedoms this administration can limit, lock down or take away, and likely soon they’ll want to mark everyone with a number as being the only way to keep track of all the influx of refugees,
It should be obvious to all by now that obama is a Sunni and is working to empower that satanic spirit over Christianity in this country.
Obama HATES America.
He wants to destroy our Constitution, our Freedoms, our way of life.
He HATES “White Privilege”.
He wants to destroy our industry, our energy production, our businesses, large and small, and especially our Military.
He HATES our Christian values and undermines them at every opportunity.
“Demonstrably smart”???
Only when reading the teleprompter. Without it he is just uhs, ers, ahs, and duhs with long moments of silence between each utterance.
bfl - thanks
Obama is a mediocrity in all respects. He's a jug-eared dope from Kenya who became the nation's first "black" president the same way people find their way into top government and corporate positions through affirmative action policies. Nobody wants to admit this because they are afraid to be accused of racism. This is a story that is repeated in government and corporate offices across the nation on a daily basis.
So he's left to sit in the corner and do whatever pleases him, until the day he leaves on his own.
IIRC, “Mush From The Wimp” made it to the street.
Good lord, these writers, analysts, commentators have such high opi ions of themselves. All they do is rehash evertything that any informed person already knows. Tedious reading and listening to these educated idiots.
Yes, Obama's middle east policy is a disaster and he can't tell the American people his true thinking on the matter, whatever those are. His policy on vetting aliens entering the US from moslem countries is similarly disasterous. He is completely tone deaf to the dangers of ISIS and the moslem invasion of the US.
When you look at the big picture and connect the dots, is he tone deaf or complicit? Can Kosner and his ilk not see this because of their own normalcy bias?
“When has BHO ever demonstrated higher intelligence?”
According to the MSM, Ronald Reagan was a dunce, George Bush was/is a moron, Sarah Palin is an empty-headed jerk,
NRA members are knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping morons and
Christians are idiots who worship an invisible man in the sky. But, BHO is a brilliant genius without equal, Hillary! is the smartest woman who ever lived, Progressive members of congress are absolutely brilliant, while
non-Progressives are morons.
Herr Goebbles would surely be so proud of these people in their daily, weekly, yearly and on-going defamations that he’d do a jig with wild gyrations.
IMHO
No need to try to be so intellectually analytical when the answer is quite simple. Obama is what you get when you cross Islam with homosexuality. It is no more difficult to understand than that.
nobama understands perfectly. He also doesn't care.
