Putin, killing the terrorists that BO won’t the kill.

Look for KSA, Qatar and others who prefer not to be mentioned increasing their support of Sunni rebels. None of them trust Iran, the regional bully and sponsor of Shia terror organizations around the world.

If we are starting a new Cold War, or even a new world war, we should at least have a policy.

The standard for articulating a clear policy was set for ever by Winston Churchill as England was about the stand alone:

You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory; victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

Obama has no policy and that means that everybody who can get to a microphone or to a keyboard is advising us about tactics. Tactics should be in service of strategy and strategy in service of policy. The sequence is significant and should not be reversed.

Let us have no discussion of no-fly zones or any other tactical moves until we know what our policy is. What is the endgame? Most significant, where do American national interests lie?

Vladimir Putin: Just doing the job the illegal alien in the White House won’t do.

[Russia announced that it is considering going into Iraq]

Yeah, I figured that would be next. Iran perhaps going to rule some part of Iraq? Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Why we would want to make a cold war out of Russia defending Orthodox Christians in Syria is beyond me. Yes, Assad is brutal, but he’s much better than the Saudis, the Turks, or any of the other anti-christian genocidal regimes we prop up. And whereas they murder Christians and other religious minorities, Assad’s brutality has defended Christians and other religious minorities against Islamicist extremists.

This isn’t a cold war.

Never thought there’d be a day when we’d be cheering on a Russian president while disgusted with our own.
