OMG
So then, why this, and why now?
Surprisingly (or not???) no one has yet attempted to connect the dots..to look for a correlation.
So, what's going on back home:
1. The Obamacare roll-out is a complete fiasco, and getting worse each day.
2. The economy continues to deteriorate , and the jobs numbers are awful.
3. We're just about to blow through the debt ceiling, ahead of schedule, and Obama will now have to fight the GOP to get even a little of what he wants, and needs.
4. More info is starting to come out about Benghazi..slowly..but it is still there, and will only worsen for the administration.
5. The IRS scandal appears ready to explode, with new hearings scheduled..none of which will be good news for the administration.
I've probably missed a few...it's soooo hard to keep current.
So, what better way to deflect attention than stage a nice little war...which will most likely rapidly escalate into a regional conflict...dragging Israel and Iran into the mix.
This will not end well..but maybe it's better than anything else Obama could hope for.
No.
It’s getting harder and harder to tell the distractions from the disasters.
Obama doesn’t need to bomb Syria to keep Americans minds off the real issues. He just needs to comment on some race-baiting type issue. For the rest of it - he can rely on his lapdogs in the media to talk about anything other than something that might reflect badly on their dear leader.
Wag the Dog was about a phony war.
This is a very real war. One I think we should stay out of, but it is not just a distraction, though it may very well be exploited as such.
OMG
I watched wag the dog again the other day. I’m even more convinced that movie is way more reflective of what really goes on than we want to admit.....
