I read a report that stated that when the economy starts back up and we do the responsible thing such as cutting the budget or paying down the debt there will be noway to avoid rising inflation. Once the economy gets moving again inflation will almost certainly occur. Not that it hasn't already it just has not been reported due to all the lying this regime does.

I have been saying all along the everything the regime does from open borders to destroying the military to wrecking the economy is all a huge time bomb designed to explode when things start getting back to normal. IN other words we well may be screwed if we do the right thing no matter how things pan out due to all the abuses and destruction of this regime.

I blame Jimmy Carter...

To ensure a free flow of oil, the west drew arbitrary borders and installed dictators who put an end to at least hundreds of years if not a thousand years of tribal warfare. Many lives were saved in the region at the expense of a relatively small number killed by the dictatorships.

Now the region is back to tribal warfare. With the new twist of tribal warfare with the west.

The attempt to bring modern democracy to medievals wasn't worth one American life, never mind thousands. Carter should never have thrown the Shah of Iran under the bus.

"Jimmy Carter Can Only Blame Himself"

"Facing an Islamic revolution, the Shah appealed to Carter for help. On November 4, 1978 U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski called the Shah and said the United States would "back him to the hilt." This would never be the case. Brzezinski insisted to Carter that the U.S. must encourage the Shah to "brutally suppress the revolution". State Department officials believed Carter should reach out to the Revolutionaries in order to smooth the transition to a new government. This was a deciding moment in world history. Carter decided not to take either recommendation and to this very day, the world is suffering the consequences of his indecisiveness."

Actually we should remember that Saddam Hussein practically asked permission to invade Kuwait and April Glaspie told him, “[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.” The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did.”

From http://www.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/01/08/wikiileaks_april_glaspie_and_saddam_hussein

I couldn’t wait for us to kill Hussein after 9/11 but as horrible as he and his psycho sons were, what he kept down was what we’re seeing now. Back then I recognized that he was a counter-balance to Iran, but I didn’t have any idea that there were worse actors than Hussein and Khomeini.

Can’t quite bring myself to say that people were better off under that vicious psycho but I wonder what the non-ISIS folks would say now—especially the Christians and others who saw their children cut in half before they themselves were sold into slavery or butchered like their children.

Probably the mistake was giving them a democracy where Islamists could win... OTOH I don’t think we want to have to permanently occupy the sandbox.

It’s a filthy mess and has been for well over a millennium.

[rodguy911]

Yeah for sure, its even harder not to at least make an attempt to honor the lives and misery that occurred in the many years we fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and the troops who were killed or injured there. Their bravery/service to our country must be acknowledged not allowed to count for nothing.

[rodguy911]

Truth is with Assad not being challenged in Syria and Qaddafi still in power in Libya it would still be a safer world than the one we have now. I see bray’s point about not going to war with zero as CIC but unfortunately we have little choice,IMHO.

[Alas Babylon!]

...Sarin and VX nerve gas...

Actually the Germans invented Sarin; not us.

I.G. Farban, to be precise.

The British invented VX Nerve gas.

[Sooth2222]

Ebola is “fragile”, probably less than two days.

I call mega-BS on this, based on what happened in Reston Virginia. They tried using the facility to hold and distribute monkeys again, and the monkeys contracted the virus again. The building in Reston needed to be demolished because it couldn't be decontaminated.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It appears the feds are in a full court press to quell the rising panic of Ebola.

What we need is yet another crisis, to cover the last crisis (beheading) which covered the previous crisis (ISIS) which was covering the previous crisis (invasion of 100,000 disease-ridden illegal alien gang bangers) which covered the previous crisis (VA scandal) which covered the previous crisis (IRS) which covered the previous crisis (Benghazi) which covered the previous crisis (Fast and Furious)

And that's just off the top of my pointy little head. I probably left several out.

[Alas Babylon!]

Agreed 100%. Carter: Second worst president in history.

[bray]

I agree with everything you say, but this President is not going to change one of those ends. He thinks all of them are good for his new America and will push to those ends. He made this mess by not finishing Bush’s job and now we are about to face the consequences.

You have serious proposals and those are not going to happen so why go along with some wag the dog campaign?

[Son House]

THIS WEEK (ABC): Roundtable talks.

Van Jones? (Doesn’t he have a credibility gap with being a self declared Communist, Mr. Stephanopoulus?)

Director of the Secret Service resigns. (Wrong resignation, should have been who was on guard duty and their immediate supervisor, Democrat war on Woman in play.)

Election talk. (Boring)

China/Hong Kong

Economy - (Have you check the Labor Force Participation rate, Mr. Stephanopoulus?)

Jack Lew, Treasury Secretary - infrastructure, education, minimum wage, “make policy - more policy to write, nobody should write off the next 2 years” (Anybody paying attention to the details of this faux recovery has, the loss of full-time work compared to the gain of part-timers should be a clue, Jack, but don’t think Democrat shill and host Mr. Stephanopoulus would challenge you on details.)

[rodguy911]

Recent admission about Ebola are that it does survive longer in cooler climates, perhaps months.Either way we will never know what is going on with the disease if we depend on the drivebys since anything that is not politically suitable to the regime will simply not be reported by the msm. It's like everything else news and information wise if we want to know what is going on look here in the New Media or don't bother to look at all.

How many knew that five cases of TB were confirmed in ElPaso.

Gen Psaki is not going to chat about anything that does not make the regime look good,besides how may of us even speak valley girl?

[rodguy911]

Rumors are the the former director was appointed since she was female and gay. Yet another fund raising vehicle for the “won”. It’s all politics all the time.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

the Germans invented Sarin;...The British invented VX Nerve gas.

No doubt, but I believe we sold it to him. (See: Reagan/Rumsfeld)

That's why we were so confident that he had it.

[Alas Babylon!]

My desire to kill Hussein goes back farther. As one who was deployed during the 90’s to enforce the No-Fly Zone, which Hussein AGREED to in 1991, which he then proceeded to violate numerous times, I had to eventually wonder why we were playing the straight man to him, while he toyed with us, and we did nothing.

We did pound anti-aircraft batteries and radar sites with precision. And if it flied, it died. However, we were going after the wrong targets; they were peripheral to the entire game. We should have re-aimed everything at his palaces. We certainly could have been just as effective. We didn’t need to invade Iraq, just kill Hussein. If another baddass wanted to take us on after him, kill him too. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Middle-East hellholes don’t deserve our boots on the ground. Not a single soldier or marine should have to die in the sand. Instead, just reach out and touch someone, courtesy of the USAF and Navy. I am pro-bombing bad guys; against occupying their cesspool nations.

One other target. It is a known fact that various mullahs and imams; so-called Islamic religious leaders, are constantly rabble-rousing and issuing fatwas against us and other various crimes against humanity. I think they should get the MQ-9 Reaper/Hellfire treatment at every opportunity. More so than most dumbass tin horn dictator, actually.

[Morgan in Denver]

I agree with you. Unlike Vietnam, I will continue matching everything bad happening in the Mid East to the Democrats, not just the president.

[rodguy911]

The biggest lie ever told was no wmds in Iraq. We have tons of photos(CIA) showing Saddam trucking in wmds in the form of poisonous gas in barrels by truck and dozens of plane loads flown to Damascus by Gen. Georges Sada who even wrote a book on what he did. Not to acknowledge wmds in Iraq is insane. Right now we have troops poised on the Syrian border with hasmat clothing nearby just watching to see if Assad tries to use all the poisonous gas he has stored there.

[Alas Babylon!]

Nope. All European sales. They had the market cornered. Now, we might have done nothing to stop the sale, but we were not Saddam’s peddlers of stuff.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Recent admission about Ebola are that it does survive longer in cooler climates, perhaps months.Either way we will never know what is going on with the disease if we depend on the drivebys

Just reporting on what he said. There are lots of unknowns here except that Obola is doing nothing.

Did he even speak about the "workplace beheading"? Did the RATagandists comment on his non-comment?

[Gritty]

What we need is yet another crisis, to cover the last crisis...

Yup. These Marxist Alinskyites are masters at getting inside our OODA Loop and staying there.
