President Obama is AWOL
US Defense Watch ^ | November 16, 2015 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 11/17/2015 3:49:36 AM PST by pboyington

As Paris burns, Obama teeters on the edge of reality. As Paris burns, Obama worries about sea levels in the Seychelles. As Paris burns, Obama calls Friday’s attacks, ‘a setback.’

A setback, Mr. President? One-hundred and twenty-nine people are dead, 350 plus are wounded and you call it a setback. What happened in Paris is a declaration of war on all of us.

Only hours before the Paris attacks began, Obama told the press that “ISIS was contained.” Contained like what, nitro-glycerin?

President Obama is AWOL (absent without leave) and has abandoned his duties as President, his post as Commander in Chief, his chair as the leader of the free world.

He is nothing more than a delusional weakling who is sleep-walking through the White House, while ISIS murders its way across the planet.

Today, in Turkey, Obama got testy with reporters. Delusional and arrogant, President Obama can’t admit that his so-called strategy is no strategy.

“The equation has clearly changed. Isn’t it time for your strategy to change?” a French reporter asked.

“Well, keep in mind what we have been doing,” Obama said. “We have a military strategy that involves putting enormous pressure on ISIS through airstrikes, that has put assistance and training on the ground with Iraqi forces. We’re now working with Syrian forces as well to squeeze ISIS.”

Enormous pressure? Obama continued ticking off actions the US had taken.

“We’ve been coordinating internationally to reduce their financing capabilities, the oil that they’re trying to ship outside. We are taking strikes against high-value targets,” he said.

“As I said from the start, it’s going to take time. What’s been interesting in the aftermath of Paris, as I listen to those who suggest ‘something else needs to be done,’ typically the things they suggest need to be done are things we are already doing,” he said.

Jim Acosta, a CNN reporter, summed up what he termed the “frustration” of many Americans when he colorfully asked, “Why can’t we take out the bastards?”

Exactly… not only Americans, but millions of people across the world are thinking the same thing as Jim Acosta.

Obama should be saying one thing to ISIS, “Romeo Foxtrot, shall we dance…” Instead he’s calling for strategic patience. Good God.

Today, he said that ISIS doesn’t represent Islam. What do they represent, the Rotary Club? They’re not Baptists, Jews, Catholics, Episcopalians, Hindus or Buddhists. They’re radical Muslims and they’re murderers. More importantly, they’re our enemy. They’re the enemy of humanity.

The French have begun to conduct airstrikes against ISIS targets in Raqqa, which were provided by the US. The question is; why weren’t we hitting those targets? Answer: the daisies in the Obama White House are terrified of collateral damage. By trying to avoid any collateral damage to save a handful of lives, Obama has condemned millions of people to torture, rape, execution and refugee status.

Meanwhile, only 72 hours after the Paris attacks, the Great Community Organizer is pushing hard for the arrival of 100,000 Syrian refugees. These people cannot be vetted and there must certainly be members of ISIS posing as poor, downtrodden migrants waiting for Barry Obama to save them. I’m calling that plan Operation Imminent Cluster. Obama is endangering all of us by this reckless foolishness.

We are in a clash of civilizations where there is no substitute for victory. Europe is waiting for America to lead, to invoke the age old motto of the Infantry, “follow me.” The free world is facing its greatest threat to its existence since World War II and the leader of the free world is asleep at the wheel.

President Obama’s lack of leadership, President Obama’s naivete, President Obama’s unwillingness to fight evil is putting us all in jeopardy. President Obama is not only imperiling his own country, but everyone on the planet who believes in the cause of freedom.

Obama is Ike Clanton at the OK Corral. He’s in the fight, but refuses to draw and is scurrying for cover, as the world burns around him.

Obama is Neville Chamberlain, believing that if he closes his eyes the bad guys will go away. They won’t. They never do, unless you exterminate them.

Obama is Jimmy Carter without the humanity and Bill Clinton without the soul.

Obama is a disaster and it’s becoming more and more apparent every day.

How many more innocent people will die while Obama sleeps? How many more attacks will occur while Obama sleeps? How many more people will ISIS recruit and torture and rape while Obama sleeps?

The President of the United States is AWOL. ISIS knows it and will continue to exploit this weakness to the best of their advantage.

I believe firmly that President Obama should resign immediately. In May of 1940, as the Nazis overran Western Europe and the British suffered a series of military disasters, Leo Amery, a Member of Parliament, stood up and said to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

Enter Winston Churchill. Where is America’s Churchill in this dark hour?

the president is not AWOL. He is at root a peacenik pacifist that insists coexistence must be sought even if it kills us. A few dead while reaching a diplomatic peace is collateral damage that must be accepted.

War was abolished in the 70’s and can be tolerated no more. to merely utter the word is not acceptable to a determined pacifist. Until he is gone, there can be no solution

When France and Russia realize 0bama is funding their enemies, will they target DC and the WhiteHut? Is this the reason for the massive NORAD drill on the east coast?

(AND doing it quite well, I believe.)

I don’t believe Ears has “abandoned his duties as president.”

He never assumed them in the first place.

He’s not AWOL, he’s conspiring with his Muslim cohorts. It’s treason.

What if that statement was the "go code"?

If only 1/2 of one percent of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world are “radical extremist” then we are at war with an army of eight million soldiers!!!

The most devastating attack on our country of all time was the Nobel committee awarding their peace prize to this bozo in a preemptive strike to keep him impotent and skittish as to any use of force on foreign soil.

Obama needs to send James Taylor to France again!

From Jan 2015...

John Kerry France

Folked up diplomacy: A week late, John Kerry and James Taylor remind France "You've Got a Friend"

By Doug Powers | January 16, 2015

The Obama administration didn't send a high level official to the rally in Paris last Sunday (the president was of course unaware of what was going on), and John Kerry showed up today with an apology and an offering:

Kerry brings singer to Paris presser to play "You've Got a Friend" after US no-show at rally

What, no Joan Baez? If ISIS wasn't on the run before that, they will be now.

Nope. He’s actively facilitating ISIS it seems.

That is my opinion as well. Going back to his "Arab Spring", removing troops from Iraq, the Iran deal, arming "Syrian Rebels" (ISIS), etc., Obama has the US facilitating the escalation in Islamic Terrorism at every turn. In short, the US has switched sides in the war on terror.

Obama is holding the entire world at bay and preventing the destruction of ISIS. Obama claims his strategic bombing is working, but after months of his strategy, the French and Russians are finding targets to bomb by the dozens every day. We destroyed Saddam's infrastructure in a matter of weeks and it was defended by SAM's.

Pray the world wakes up.

Obama, like the rest of the commie left, is not a "peacenik". Commies never met a bloody leftist uprising or revolution they didn't fully support. They worship mass murdering monsters like Mao, Che, and (some) Stalin. Hardly men of peace.

Leo Amery was quoting Oliver Cromwell as he dismissed the Rump Parliament.

He's not AWOL, he's conspiring with his Muslim cohorts. It's treason.

He's also conspiring with the Russians. His deliberate weakness in going after ISIS has enabled his comrades in Moscow to move in, do the job, then ultimately grab control of the Middle East. This in addition to their simultaneous attempts at retaking Eastern Europe. They've also been working closer than ever with the ChiComs, holding annual joint war games since 2005 in preparation for war with us and our NATO allies.

The author used the word “President” way too much. Barry is in no way Presidential.
