| Obama has no Middle East strategy? Good! |
| 2014-09-02 |
| [Iran Press TV] Last week President B.O. admitted that his administration has not worked out a strategy on how to deal with the emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as a dominant force in the Middle East. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... as ISIS continues its march through Syria and Iraq, many in the US administration believe it is, in the words of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a threat "beyond anything we have ever seen." Predictably, the neocons attacked the president's speech. They believe the solution to any problem is more bombs and troops on the ground, so they cannot understand the president's hesitation. |

| #10 I think that we should let the arabs kill each other and focus most of our attention on Ukraine. Ukraine needs anti-tank weapons and probably soon anti-a/c stuff and if Putin isn't stopped at his southern edge he will next look north. |

| #9 Now when the 6,000 foreign students who came to the US and got their Visas to go to Horseshoeing College of Cosmetics and Flower Arranging and then vanished...plan and carry out an Attack on the USAirForce Academy and kill all the 2014 Graduating Class of Officer Zoomies...we can all ask ourselves who to thank. And we can all accept our part of the blame as a gap between the Rich and the Poor and why can't we just get along with our Moslem brothers. Moslems are our friends, right? Got any Moslem neighbors? Nice people like that who just want to eat Apple pie and sell us some falafel and cous cous. Why don' we all bend over and be friends? War? OF COURSE, the US won't start a war. All the US is good for is wanking and half measures and they couldn't really get into a war where all Americans are either wearing earrings or have dyed their hair purple. War? Don't ask Dwayne and Bruce they are having their nails done. War, who would come? Anybody you know? Naw, bend over America and take it like a man. The Moslems HAVE your number. |

| #6 This, here is the kind of thing that worries me. Instead of getting bogged down in another God forsaken Middle Eastern desert on behalf of the frickin' Soddies we should be securing America. |

| #5 C'mon, you guys. Would you really trust the Champ to prosecute a war? I wouldn't. I'm content to watch him take the heat. We were screwed when the guy got elected. A war would only make things worse. WWII might have fixed our economy, temporarily. But Vietnam combined with the Great Society damn near ruined us. |

| #4 Who is the dim light bulb that wrote this mess? Just come home??? Yeah, right, and in six months we'll have a city disappear. Or on 9/11 we'll have some ghastly horrible terrorist attack that will spin our staggering economy into the ditch again. Perhaps we should use the FDR approach, a good war ended the depression, maybe a good war can end the great recession. Just don't outsource the jobs and don't buy any biofuel for the jets. |
