War Was Interested in Obama

Leon Trotsky probably did not quite write the legendary aphorism that

[sickoflibs]

I guess he earned that Peace Prize.

The world is in total Chaos.

The bad guys knew that Nobel peace prize boy wouldn’t do anything to stop them. He’s too busy fundraising and pimping global warming. (It’s summer).

Those that bombed the Pentagon and America on 911
now run it.

They won, because the EXEMPT treasonous US Congress
was, and REMAINS, more interested in making money
using unConstitutional Laws they pass ... only for others.

Politicians are really dangerous when they begin to believe their own lies. Delusions do not lead to effective policies.

Don't worry about Obama, he's getting in his golf this weekend

[Iron Munro]

It’s not Obama’s fault.

He is the victim.

It’s the inconsiderate advisors and news media who are to blame here.

When Obama declared that the War On Terror was over no one bothered to tell him that the other side hadn’t stopped fighting.

If he had read about it in the newspapers or saw it on TV he might have been able to do something about it.

Why should they bother themselves with foreign affairs when there’re Chamber of Low Wages campaign donations to worry about?

[dfwgator]

Funny how that works.

Like Churchill told Chamberlain after Munich, “You were given a choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”

[Graewoulf]

Well, and timely said.

[TigersEye]

0bama is just like Bergdahl he’s in the wrong job. Both of them should have joined the Peace Corpse and when the going got tough both of them deserted their posts and got people killed for it.

VDH ping ...

BH0 is the anti-Reagan ... War Through Weakness (aka Weakness Invites Aggression) ... rather than Peace Through Strength ...

[hinckley buzzard]

True enough. 9/11 was a success for the terrorists, largely due to entrenched moral cowardice in the "ruling class," who refused to face up to the reality of Islam. I well recall George "Religion of Peace" Bush inviting some moslem mullah to yammer at us and smirk at us during the "Memorial Service" at the National Cathedral after 9/11. What an obscenity.

The truth is we lost the "war on terror" years ago.

As a side note, I hear liberals blaming the unrest in Iraq on Bush. They say we shouldn’t have been in Iraq in the first place, and that Saddam kept the country under control.

They may admit that Saddam was a ruthless dictator and a threat to world peace, but then go on to say that he kept the factions in Iraq under control.

So what we see is that in the Obama Era, nothing can be blamed on the policies or actions of Obama. Every president inherits the world situation as it is, and has to take steps to deal with the situation. But Obama just can’t be blamed for how he dealt with the situation he inherited in Iraq.

So liberals and the media will say that Bush should never have gotten us involved there, so that whatever happens now cannot be blamed on Obama’s policies in Iraq.

[NonValueAdded]

Yep, that’s the way to sum up VDH’s latest, “Obama declares Peace For Our Time.”

Cue George Santayana.

Obama is from the Jane Fonda wing of the marxist party.

Then blame Carter. He is the biggest reason why the middle east is a mess to begin with. Carter started most of the problems.

[Dilbert San Diego]

You’re right. Following liberal criteria, we should go back and blame Carter for the roots of middle east problems, dating back to Carter’s days as president.

Fair enough if we follow the liberal need to assess blame.

[justa-hairyape]

They may admit that Saddam was a ruthless dictator and a threat to world peace, but then go on to say that he kept the factions in Iraq under control.

If they think a CIA stooge ruthless dictator should have remained in power in Iraq, it explains why they reelected Emperor Zero.

Bottom line is if you thought a ruthless dictator could only hold Iraq together, then you should have been for partitioning the country after Saddam was removed. Some of us were for that very scenario.

Then blame Carter. He is the biggest reason why the middle east is a mess to begin with. Carter started most of the problems.

The bitter irony in all that was that Carter had betrayed the Shah of Iran, a longtime U.S. ally, and thereby paved the way for the ascent to power of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Iranian mullahcracy that has ruled Iran ever since. Rather than feel gratitude toward Carter, however, Khomeini viewed his abandonment of the Shah as a sign of weakness, and pressed forward with his jihad against the Great Satan.
