Champ's phony war against ISIS
2015-11-18
[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.

#12  OWG-NWO + US-WORLD MARXIST-SOCIALIST ORDER, N-O-T NATIONAL SECURITY.

Apparently, not even GLOBAL = GEOPOL SECURITY EITHER.

The Bammer is doing it INTENTIONALLY.

Party Ideology, Rivalry nor Poor Political decisions is grounds for Impeachment.

'TIS SHOULD BE CLEAR OR OBVIOUS BY NOW THAT OUR UNITARIAN SOCIALIST GOP-DEM ESTABLISHMENT IN WASHINGTON SUPPORTS OBAMA ANDOR HIS PRO ANTI-US OWG-NWO + ANTI-AMERICAN AMERIKAN AGENDA.

The more Illegals, Mexican Cartelinos, + Radical Islamists-Jihadists, etal. that legally or illegally enter the US, THE BETTER FOR ALL THE ABOVE = US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO + US-WORLD/GLOBAL SOCIALIST ORDER.

ITS HIGHLY DOUBTFUL THE BAMMER-N-ONLY-THE-BAMMER IS THE ONLY ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OUT THERE IN US POLITICS.

DON'T FEAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA - FEAR MORE HIS SIMILAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR(S).

Iff the former USSR can implode + be partitioned, + Syria-Iraq, and Any Each + All those to come in the ME, Etc. SO CAN AMERICA = AMERIKA.

IN THE NAME + SAKE OF GOOD US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO + GLOBALISM.

#11  Obozo has mounted a more serious war against conservatives in the U.S. than he has against ISIS.

#10  No, rj, he's NOT naïve.

He knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

#9  My take is he's a naive fellow who thinks all of the worlds problems were caused by US intervention. In that light he pulled out of Iraq to quickly and refuses to get involved again.

My theory is less clear regarding supporting Syria/Libyan rebels but not supporting Iranian uprisings except to say he doesn't believe strongly in anything so there is no true unifying pattern beyond keep US troops out.

#7  The Twenty-Fifth Amendment-Section Four:

"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President…"

...but I cry into the wind....

#5  Just the continued attempts to disarm the American people in the face of an Islamic invasion of this country.

#4  We don't have to wait for Obama's end of term to assess his contributions to the Middle East: partition and war in Irak, triggering permanent war in Lybia, enabling the Brothers in Egypt, triggering permanent war in Syria, enabling and allowing the rise of ISIS, encouraging the radicalization of Turkey, encouraging a flood of "refugees" enabled by Turkey towards Greece and Western Europe and inviting them to the USA, supporting and protecting nuclear weapons in Iran, developing massive arms sales to Iran's neighbor countries, blissfully watching war grow in Yemen, encouraging the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan, ... all of this while systematically undermining Israel, ... what am I missing?

#3  Follow the $s.

My odds are that individuals might well be getting offshore deposits when agreements like the Iran nuke deal are signed.

Agreements like that take mad dog actors like ISIS to make them compelling enough to bother with....

No different than Erdogan offering to stop the EU refugee stream for billions of Euros. ISIS is the mad dog driver behind that herds movement.

Lots of folks likely have a $ interest in ISIS wrecking havoc.

#2  He's also the guy who fired up Assad's Syria. The pyromaniac who created the chaos. Now he just sits aside, occasionally poking the flames while doing nothing serious to put it out. Sort of the same process he's used in race relations back in States.
