Very well said Mr Buchanan.
“Assad must go, Obama says.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Kenyan from Indonesia is gone.
Assad is still there.
It was never our business.
The tribes of the Middle East have been fighting each other since Old Testament times. A thousand years hence, they’ll still be fighting.
I say develop domestic energy production, and let the Middle East regress back to the Stone Age, from whence they came prior to discovery of oil there.
The ONLY strategic importance of the Middle East to the rest of the world is OIL. Oh Eye Ell.
Obama and Hillary killed a lot of people to protect their drugs and weapons trade.
for later
What Assad has done for the world far exceeds what he has done for his own country. Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood team were toppling rulers throughout the Arab world to install anti-American puppets. Assad’s refusal to turn tail and run in the face of the New World Order gave the Egyptians the courage to fight to re-gain their country. Libya is still a mess (and probably should never have been cobbled together from the three Italian components) but at least the cancer has been contained.
Syria has had about $5 billion dollars worth of destruction to it’s infrastructure, maybe higher. We will see how that is rebuilt before I’d acknowledge the Regime has won.
That $100 million the Saudis are giving is a drop in the bucket, the country is in ruins.
No peace in Syria until Assad is ousted, says Nikki Haley
In a departure from the administration’s previous stance, US ambassador to the UN suggests regime change is now one of its priorities
I’ll never support her.
Pat is now and always has been full of crap.
He is a 1930’s anachronism unfit to live in the present and certainly not the future
The Constant War Crowd (McCainiac, Grahamnesty, et al.) never met a conflict they didn’t like. They might not want to spend a few billion dollars securing the U.S. border, but by jingo they’ll spend untold billions in every third-world hellhole one can imagine.
Would have been so much cheaper and less bloody for all sides to simply hand Israel and Egypt $200 billion, load the Sinai up with fighters, bombers and missiles, and the Med and Gulf with ships, and let them kick the crap put of anyone who caused a problem.
That is true. But Pat is very free and loose with his "facts" otherwise. The conflation of Bush and Obama regimes is particularly inappropriate.
Obama's policies were often in direct contradiction to Bush's.
Much of the problems are a direct result of that.
Pat is engaging in sniping, but we have no way of knowing that things would have been better if we had done nothing. They might well have been much worse.
Notice that Pat does *not* complain about the first Gulf war, which had considerable cost as well.
Yet the Second Gulf War was just a continuation of the First. We never stopped being at war with Saddam's Iraq.
We should have likely toppled Iran next, as they supplied our enemies in Iraq.
We could not do it because of the horrific attacks on moral at home and on President Bush by our own Media. The were and are, the enemy within.
Are there any definitive books or major postings on the Obama/Clinton “Arab Spring” and what that has wrought on the world?
Poor Paddy. The U.S.A. is still standing and getting ready to put his heroes down again.
Why is this guy still alive?
