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.

The Discrediting of America: Individual Opponents

While President Obama is the face of the Progressive advancement running roughshod over America, there is a well funded massive machine of operatives implementing widespread attacks on those, organizations, corporations and individuals, who stand against their policies. With a basis found in the pages of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, aiming to demonize, ridicule and discredit all in opposition, there are no lines that cannot be crossed as the ends justify the means. The tentacles of these ongoing operations extend beyond your wildest imagination. Therefore, BAHL Revere will engage a series of posts alerting our readership of instances in this regard titled The Discrediting of America.

CPAC 2013 was quite exciting, with a host of speakers giving excellent speeches, quite cognizant of an America in decline.with most zeroed in the parties responsible.

Among the speakers who minced no words in assessing blame for the transformation of wealth overwhelming America with those orchestrating the destruction failing to practice the austerity measures they advise us to take, was Rep. Michele Bachmann, (R:MN).

Bachmann torched Obama for living a lavish lifestyle as President while most of us are struggling for friction in an Obama led economy wrecked by crony capitalism, destructive FED policies, absence of the rule of law, rewards for irresponsible behavior and an advancing nanny state robbing people of their identity.

See a portion of the speech by Bachmann below:

Although Bachmann did embellish some points, for example, the walking of the dog, the premise of the comments cannot be legitimately challenged.  Do I have a reader who honestly does not think Obama is exceeding common guidelines with respect to living in excess as President?  In addition, do any not see the hypocrisy of him sparing no expense vacationing and golfing while most of us are struggling mightily in the dismal economy he is presiding over?

In my career, I have noticed great leaders provide an example for those they command or lead by establishing a code of behavior and work ethic.  For crying out loud, the president and first lady take separate planes on vacation, something we previously found obscene.  A respected leader would not close tours of The White House to gain political points while his family vacations touring the world.

Meet President Obama.

Bachmann has been hit hard in the aftermath of these comments, by both sides.  CNN correspondent Dana Bash ambushed Bachmann in a parking lot.  Mind you, Bash, who would not know a Fulton county commission meeting if it was held in the CNN parking lot, cannot find time to chase the Obama administration down on anything, but was in high speed pursuit of Bachmann.

From the supposed right, Bill O'Reilly led the way, hammering Bachmann on is FOX program "The O'Reilly Factor.  Please take a listen to O'Reilly below:

O'Reilly is off the mark, which is unfortunately more common than you may think.  I was not the only one who noticed, as The Great One Mark Levin let O'Reilly have it on his nationally syndicated radio show.  Listen to Levin HERE.

On Monday, we learned Bachmann is now the center on an ethics investigation for the misuse of campaign funds.  The Blaze reports that Federal investigators are now interviewing former Bachmann campaign staffers nationwide about alleged intentional campaign-finance violations.  Would these be the same disgruntled former staff members fired for poorly leading her 2012 presidential campaign?

But this is not the point, as everyone who remains sane recognizes that President Obama gives no consideration to the money he spends as President, or as Commander in Chief in running up the national debt, and that an upstart investigation focusing on former staff members has the earmark of a witch hunt.

Most on the left think Bachmann is a dingbat, so why all the long knives?  We have hit this topic previously, and make no mistake about it; Bachmann is being targeted for her having been an outspoken opponent of our coziness with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Once Bachmann publicly questioned our policy toward the Muslim Brotherhood, she has been in the cross hairs.  From John McCain to Bill O'Reilly on the right, to the entire roster of lefties, Bachmann must be taken down and discredited publicly before someone takes her seriously.  You see, she is being hit with propaganda portraying her as discredited.  Restated with an Orwellian flare, just like two plus two equals five, what you see presented about her are the opposite of the facts.

Bachmann was correct in the facts regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and their infiltration of our government by many who advocate for them in the shadows.  Recently, we have confirmed John Brennan to head the CIA and Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense, who are sympathetic at best to these opponents of Israel. John Kerry, our new Secretary of State, has supporters on both sides of the aisle, even though he is a fierce opponent of our military having protested against them on many an occasion.

The Muslim Brotherhood has taken over in Egypt, and is positioning themselves in Syria. Benghazi, who is not a WalMart greeter but rather the location where Ambassador Stevens and three other patriots were left hanging to be murdered by the Obama administration, is presumed to have been the location for gun running negotiations where guns were being run through Turkey to the Syrian rebels, who are really the Muslim Brotherhood.  For more on the gun running, see the following Gateway Pundit article.

Don't we usually demand a full investigation, especially under the most transparent administration ever, when our Ambassador get killed?  Then why are we silencing witnesses?

As we have noted, Bachmann is correct on this and we encourage you to support her in any way possible.   Don't be distracted by all the noise surrounding and ridicule of Bachmann, just know that the reason she is being targeted is because she is asking questions the administration does not want to answer.  Efforts to discredit Bachmann have failed thus far, so the progressives are stepping up their game.

Bachmann indeed must be on to something.
