Champ's phony war against ISIS
[Defense Watch] In the last two weeks, ISIS has blown a Russian airliner out of the sky over the Sinai Peninsula, shot up a bar, a restaurant, a theater, detonated two suicide bombs in front of a soccer stadium in Paris and set off two bombs in Beirut. The total death toll nears 400 and the number of wounded is over 700.Meanwhile, Obama continues to bob and weave in the foreign ring with all the aplomb of Gerry Cooney. In the last week, he authorized the release of five terrorist thugs from Gitmo and is currently leading the charge to relocate 100,000 Syrians to the US; a move that even Chris Matthews thinks is insane. In Obama's mind, ISIS is contained, our strategy is on track and we're winning the war against ISIS. President Obama is waging a Phony War against ISIS, much like the Phony War that the dithering, ineffectual leaders of France and Britain waged against Nazi Germany from September of 1939 to May of 1940. After declaring war on Nazi Germany, the Allies decided that the best way to secure victory was to do nothing. Sound familiar? France and Britain did nothing offensive against the Germans, in the hopes that Hitler, the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe and the SS would vaporize into thin air. As the French stared at the Germans across the Maginot Line, the Germans planned and trained and rehearsed for the Spring of 1940, when the Third Reich blitzkrieged across Denmark, Norway, France, Holland and Belgium. It was only when Chamberlain was overthrown, when France was occupied, that Churchill took the stage, and rallied the British to fight alone, while waiting for the New World to come to their rescue. We did. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-11-18 |
