Liars Lack Credibility

President Obama; Commander Clueless At Large

"My credibility is not on the line," quipped President Obama today regarding his red line he never spoke of regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Problem is, Obama has no credibility. 

"The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America’s and Congress’s credibility is on the line."

In response to appearing most weak, Obama throws the international community under the bus for attempting to set a level of standards in times of conflict that adhere to common decency and follows by hammering the Congress for being part of such an agreement.

The comments are really an effort to discredit Republicans and the use of force by those countries able to successfully conduct military operations.  Only when the administration find the international community has the "responsibility to protect" would military action seem appropriate.

From the beginning of Obama's administration and his apology tour, there has not been an international relations plan anyone can make sense of.  The Arab Spring was a disaster everyone but he and his staff saw in the making, and the orchestrated events in Lybia has moved the country into lawlessness and ruin and has resulted in Egypt in turmoil.

Furthermore, truth and the adherence to the rule of law have been absent, a critical matter of trust.  One could surmise the administration has been less than forthcoming, but the fact of the matter is those the are charged to report to are left facing distortion, stonewalling, mistruths and deception.

This would include negotiations surrounding the auto bailouts, Fast and Furious, the stimulus, the unemployment rate, the NSA scandal, the IRS scandal and most notably, the events in Benghazi where four patriots, including our Ambassador, were murdered.

The administration is not credible, and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R:SC, made the charge while grilling Secretary of State John Kerry, who is an appalling individual, lacking character and credibility, who although serving in, has exhibited great disdain for our military over the years.


I have no access to any military intelligence and can only speculate on the real story from what I can ascertain from following the events, deciphering what I can from media reports and hearing testimonials.  But, it seems clear chemical weapons were utilized in Syria.

However, in my opinion, there are a myriad of outstanding questions that must be addressed before we risk the lives of our servicemen.   Primarily due to the mind boggling foreign policy of this administration, this situation has really become one were neither side, either the administration of Bashar al-Assad or the rebels made up of factions of Al-Queda and the Muslim Brotherhood,   deserves any support from Uncle Sam.

Interestingly enough, we apparently know the issues in Syria like the palm of our hand but were paralyzed at the time and remain quite puzzled at what transpired in Benghazi.  We actually thought is was because of a video.  I don't buy it, and nor should you.

Going against Assad, as Obama is asking Congress for approval in doing, puts us on the side with the Muslim Brotherhood and factions of Al-Queda, both of whom I consider our enemies.  Problem is, I doubt President Obama considers agrees. As Sen. Ted Cruz, R:TX, said, "we should not be “al-Qaeda’s air force."

The entire operation has come about quickly for some reason, with somewhat of a sense of urgency.  I wonder why, but then again, there is golf, fundraising and world travel going on.

The case is weak, and we are asked by the same hypocrites who railed against George W. Bush, who had a library of info compared to Kerry's briefcase, to seemingly blindly accept their premise and jump on board. 

No such luck with me.  It is noted many seemingly knowledgeable people have, including Jennifer Rubin over at The Washington Post.

We should not tolerate the use of chemical weapons and there may be some additional reasons to be involved, but we have not been informed of what they may be. I got some ideas, coming up in a later post.

Certainly, I am not against military action when necessary, provided we go kick the ass out of our opponent and come home. For us to engage, there must be a strategic plan of action, rather than a rushed effort with no stated goal or end game.

In my view, the administration has presented themselves as liars ( perpetrators apprehended and punished in Benghazi?) and thieves (monetizing of the debt), misrepresenting and distorting facts ( no red line drawn).  They are not to be trusted, and get no quarter from me.

Obama thinks he is loved from the night sky to the ocean floor, but only he and a few remaining Obamabots still think that. The truth of the matter is, that other than attempting to save what limited credibility Obama and the US still clings to on the world stage, there is no strategic US interest or reason to be involving ourselves, and placing at risk the treasure of our servicemen and women, in yet another middle east skirmish, particularly with no strategic plan.
