Cruise Missile Cowboy


As the old adage goes – if you give a man enough rope he will eventually hang himself and today Barack H. Obama should pay heed. Despite widespread public skepticism, a stunning smack downof British pardner David Cameron, Tonto to Obama’s Drone Ranger and a smelly case of chemical weapons use that brings back memories of “we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud” the leader is saddling up for a shootin’ war. I don’t ever want to hear a liberal or a Democrat attack George W. Bush again because now that Barry has turned cowboy with yet another new war, one that may even  turn into WW III and the American day of reckoning at the O.K. Corral Barry is now every bit as bad. I would venture to say that trail boss Obama is far worse than Bushever was simply because Bush never bothered pretending that he was anything other than a cowboy, his successor is a full blown Judas. Irony is hysterical in that the Nobel Peace Prize winner who was trusted by so many to end the wars is about to lead his own gang into a morass of death and destruction that has all of the potential to end up like that classic final showdown in the classic Sam Peckinpah western The Wild Bunch.
This is all on the Barry too. He spent too much of his first term acting as a triangulating, milquetoast, arugula eating, verbose, teleprompter reading effete snob and he was mocked and disrespected by his enemies and taken advantage of by his friends. When he idiotically came out last year and stated that the use of chemical weapons was his “red line” for sending the military bully boys into action in Syria it was only a matter of time until someone – and let me emphasize that we still have no idea of who – would call his bluff. Real men don’t chicken out when it’s time to take ten paces, turn around and draw, especially given the long, lurid and colorful history of American cowboy foreign policy and Obama now has little choice.  Thorough international investigations will take you only so far when the monstrous power of the military industrial complex and the blood barters of Wall Street catch the scent of blood money.  Toss in a grifter like Obama, still smarting over being pilloried throughout his lamentable first term and then having his nose rubbed into a bowl of borscht flavored humble pie with a vodka chaser by the black hat Putin over Ed Snowden and we have a man that is itching for a gunfight. One must wonder how many times that Django Unchained has been the nightly movie at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Nixon got his Vietnam rocks off by watching Patton and we know damned well how well that all turned out.
This is a looming disaster another step in the downtrend, but Barry can’t back down because as national sheriff he has laid down the law and can’t be seen as a ‘chicken’ . After the embarrassments of being rebutted by the U.N. Security Council and Cameron’s parliamentary fiasco the rogue Obama regime is today hanging it’s hat on a new U.S. intelligence report offering damning evidence of the Assad regime’s complicity in the chemical gas attack. Don’t bother stopping to think that the very same intelligence community has a vested interest in protecting their own asses by hyping a new war that will knock the NSA Stasi revelations out of the headlines and provide more time for Obama’s black ops hit teams to find and murder Ed Snowden.  The added benefit would be that any opposition to Barry’s big shootout in Damascus will quickly be labeled as “traitors” and accused of “aiding the enemy” for their daring to challenge El Presidente. This is the way it always works in totalitarian societies and post September 11, 2001 we are living in an increasingly obvious one. The very fact that Barry and the boys no longer bother hiding any of it is an ominous sign of what is yet to come.
So expect high noon anytime now, best get out and gas up your car before the coming oil price spike. The administration once again sent forth Skull and Bones member John Kerry to again spew out demagogic rhetoric in his normal monotonous delivery to push the propaganda line. French President Francois Hollande now appears to be joining the Obama gang as the 2013 incarnation of the “coalition of the willing” begins to take form. One can imagine that the cheese-eating surrender monkey French are still traumatized by their resistance to Bush’s Iraq war and having French Fries renamed Freedom Fries in the Congressional cafeteria. Obama is also now invoking the imminent threat to Israel and Jordan which will set the tone for the smearing of opponents as “isolationists” and pejoratives even worse than that. The question that is never once tolerated is that why is there always money for more war when the entire country is crumbling and is on the brink of becoming akin to a third world banana republic in the coming years. Such a question would quickly run astray of Obama and his state media lynching party and those who ask would be ruthlessly smeared.
So as we here sit on the eve of what would be the initial cruise missile shots of World War III we are only provided with the pro-war propaganda of the usual cavalcade of clowns. Poor pitiful Barry stands to lose face, and the sycophants and stenographer presstitutes worried about lost access were they to live up to their duties under the rapidly disappearing First Amendment. At least there are some, now exiled to the fringes who still dare to ask the forbidden questions. Take Pat Buchanan for instance who just wrote-
Understandably, Obama wants to get the egg off his face from having foolishly drawn his “red line” against chemical weapons, and then watching Syria, allegedly, defy His Majesty. But saving Obama’s face does not justify plunging his country into another Mideast war.
Does Obama realize what a fool history will make of him if he is stampeded into a new war by propaganda that turns out to be yet another stew of ideological zealotry and mendacity?
As of today, we do not know exactly what gas was used around Damascus, how it was delivered, who authorized it and whether President Bashar Assad ever issued such an order.
Yet, one Wall Street Journal columnist is already calling on Obama to assassinate Assad along with his family.
and
Nations that start wars and attack countries, as Gen. Tojo and Adm. Yamamoto can testify, do not get to decide how wide the war gets, how long it goes on or how it ends.
If the United States attacks Damascus and Syria’s command and control, under the rules of war Syria would be within its rights to strike Washington, the Pentagon and U.S. bases all across the Middle East.
Does Obama really want to start a war, the extent and end of which he cannot see, that is likely to escalate, as its promoters intend and have long plotted, into a U.S. war on Iran? Has the election in Iran of a new president anxious to do a deal with America on Iran’s nuclear program caused this panic in the War Party?
If we think the markets reacted badly to a potential U.S. strike on Syria, just wait for that big one to start. Iran has a population the size of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq combined, and sits astride the Straits of Hormuz through which the free world’s oil flows.
And who will be our foremost fighting ally in Syria should we attack Assad’s army? The Al-Nusra Front, an arm of al-Qaida and likely successor to power, should Assad fall.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Obama is indeed mad as in pissed off at Putin and aS the ongoing revelations of his corrupt surveillance state as well as the ugly truth that his economic policies are a disaster and his health care reform plan is nothing more than a big government backed shakedown of taxpayers to benefit big corporations.  But in the sense of the word invoked by Buchanan he is not truly mad (is in crazy) and that is a very disconcerting though in that madmen eventually are stopped. It is the arrogant, foolhardy, reckless state of hubris as Barry has now received his own personal fix of our cowboy bent when it comes to global affairs.
It is all a matter of Obama playing a game of my missile is bigger than yours with Putin and Syria just happens to be the set of this tragedy in the making.
It is a tall order but the American people and Congress need to reign this varmint in now.
