The Joke Is On US

On an evening a couple of weeks back, President Obama spoke to nation regarding the terrorist group ISIS running roughshod over most of Iraq from their apparent bases in Syria. ISIS is a major concern to most knowledgeable Americans, and the speech by Obama was of keen interest.

You might think this would be a tough speech for Obama, who although vehemently opposed to US military interaction, faces few if any alternatives than to use our armed forces to stop this legitimate threat to peace across the globe.  In addition, it has been Obama who has arrogantly informed us that he kept his promise by leaving Iraq and decimating al Qaeda.

Yes, I am aware ISIS is a direct offshoot of al Qaeda, the group the administration boasted about dismantling.  Like most everything else from the White House; nothing but propaganda.

Speaking of that, the speech opened up, not with commentary on the rising threat of evil we are facing, but a couple of minutes on how his policies has strengthened our economy, created more jobs than any recent administration and expanded opportunities for working class families. A complete fabrication of the truth.

If that was not insulting enough, Obama delivered a few moments of commentary in his routine condescending manner that Islam is not in any way a root of this problem, rather a peaceful religion we as Americans should embrace as part of our national fabric.  I wish I were joking.

Actually, the joke is on us.

Obama has had it wrong from the get go, and if as James Madison told us, Americans were armed with knowledge, this transformative dovish narcissistic neophyte would have never been elected once, much less, twice.

The US interaction with Iraq, both times, was regrettably the correct course of action.  Under the surge, we gained victory in Iraq and gave their people a shot at establishing a sovereign nation of freedom.  They needed continued support, but under Obama, after telegraphing a timetable, he directed our premature departure, snatching defeat from victory.

Without the presence of the US in the region, the opportunity for al Qaeda to resurface was presented.

The actions taking place in the region were predictable, and President Bush informed the nation what we would be in store for if we departed the region prematurely.  Take a listen:


Bush was ridiculed (that Alinsky technique is omnipresent is it not ) relentlessly, but he was absolutely correct.  You just heard the evidence.

Come to think of it, looking back at the scorecard, although the media delivers propaganda to the contrary, Obama fails miserably to GOP leaders on the issue of foreign policy.  Here are three significant examples.

The laughing stock of all progressive land, it turns out Sarah Palin accurately predicted that Obama would implement policies which would project weakness and create an environment in which Russia would consider invading the Ukraine.  Bingo.

Way prior to the current activities surrounding ISIS, the US Military has suffered more deaths in Afghanistan under Obama than under George Bush. There is no daily count on CNN, and Cindy Sheehan is not protesting at various gold communities across the fruited plain, but those facts continue to be stubborn.

During the last presidential campaign, VP Joe Biden tried to scare everybody that if Romney was elected, he would bomb Syria, something Obama would never do.  Until now.

Also during the last presidential campaign, Obama failed to identify Russia as an enemy, degrading Mitt Romney, who said Russia was "without question our number one geopolitical foe" by saying the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back.  Idiot at large, that Obama.

This all would be a Saturday Night Live skit if these issues were not deadly serious, pun intended. If Obama continues to play games and does not get serious about the increasing evils we face, sooner than later, our way of life will be threatened.

I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur,  you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.
