Syrian Debacle Postponed For Now

Barack H. Obama’s much heralded prime time television speech the other night has only served to temporarily delay the launching of WW III. With widespread public rejection of this latest foreign policy fiasco Obama’s latest love affair with the teleprompter truly only served to kick the can down the road a ways and at the same time save face for his foolhardy “red line” statement.  There is however far too much money to be made by the warfare industry to simply allow this wonderful opportunity to increase the bottom line to go to waste.  It is already being reported that the worlds preeminent terrorist organization, the CIA is now ramping up their arming of the rebels, many of them Islamic lunatics with Al Qaeda connections.  Just imagine the sick irony of our current regime using taxpayer money in arming the same radical Islamist group behind the devastating attacks of September 11, 2001 that then allowed a rogue government to flip the off switch on over two centuries of American democracy and transform the U.S.A. into a full blown fascist police state.  One that is fueled by the never ending wars which in turn serve the elite in justifying the endless shakedown of honest and decent Americans to fund the surveillance industrial complex hydra that is devouring our freedoms like a ravenous cancer.

To his credit Barry didn’t directly take a dump on the graves of the 9/11 victims by invoking that day as justification for his Syrian attack which I found to be surprising.  The only time that he really did veer into that territory was his cunning insinuation that attacking would protect the children in America in the future from some vague threat. Kind of like the propaganda that Saddam would supply WMD to terrorists who would then bring them to America to use because they hate us for our way of life. He is far slicker than his predecessor in that manner but his speech was as loathesome and dishonest as any ever given by George W. Bush or for that matter ANY president.  Obama broke out the XL manure shovel for his absurd invocations of American exceptionalism, trumped up moral outrage and historical references to cover his own ass while providing more time for a smoking gun to be discovered in Syria . I hope that you had your hip waders on if you even bothered to watch that gross perversion of what used to mean to be an American before the swine hijacked the entire system. Barry then served up a generous slice of yellowcake with his invocation of the gassed kids:

The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad’s government gassed to death over 1,000 people, including hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening: men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas, others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath, a father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk.

On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off-limits, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war.

This was not always the case. In World War I, American G.I.s were among the many thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now joined by 189 governments that represent 98 percent of humanity.

On August 21st, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common humanity. No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw thousands of videos, cell phone pictures, and social media accounts from the attack, and humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.

Moreover, we know the Assad regime was responsible. In the days leading up to August 21st, we know that Assad’s chemical weapons personnel prepared for an attack near an area where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gas masks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear of opposition forces. Shortly after those rockets landed, the gas spread, and hospitals filled with the dying and the wounded.

We know senior figures in Assad’s military machine reviewed the results of the attack and the regime increased their shelling of the same neighborhoods in the days that followed. We’ve also studied samples of blood and hair from people at the site that tested positive for sarin.

When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory, but these things happened. The facts cannot be denied.

Despite his heart-wrenching appeals to emotion what Mr. Obama left out is the very critical fact that it is total bullshit that Assad actually ordered the gassing.  The whole scaffolding of the case for war collapses without that Hitlerian whopper and other than King Barack’s secret evidence there is still no proof that the Assad regime was responsible for anything other than fighting a civil war insurgency. Sadly, the only effective piece of his entire sales job is the poor children and it works to perfection to those prone to knee jerk reactions and a taste for bellicose rhetoric. Yesterday two of armchair bombardiers that I know, both of whom HATE Obama as if he were Satan himself were backing Barry and his administration’s carpet bombing of Damascus based solely on the “he gassed his own people” sham. The entire speech had sensible people scrambling for their barf bags, it is really hard to take a man who presides over a country with huge stocks of chemical weapons including the white phosphorous and depleted uranium that were used to kill untold thousands of civilians in Iraq seriously.  This man has no shame and it is a travesty that he was ever elected to the highest office in the land,  Barry would not know morality and “common humanity” if they sneaked up behind him and bit him in the ass.  That speech was an insult to every American who understands our how great our country once was and how rotten that things have become today thanks to hustlers and pimps like Obama, Kerry and their ilk.

Much to the chagrin of the de-facto Pentagon lobbyists the job of selling the Syria war hasn’t been the cakewalk that it was anticipated and it just became a bit worse when Elizabeth O’Bagy, a War Street Journal’s op ed writer was dumped for misrepresenting her credentials. O’Bagy was an invaluable resource to the warmongers John McCain and John Kerry as they built their case for military intervention in Syria. The truth is that she was a paid shill for yet another of those noxious neoconservative think tanks, this one called the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) that have been so influential in ensnaring America in the Middle Eastern morass.  But Obama and his neocon buddies won’t stop just because a member of their marketing team  has been outed as a pathological liar, they are ever more determined now than ever. It must have been especially galling for the criminals who run this place to have had to endure the humiliation of Vladimir Putin coming out of this all smelling like a rose and looking like a rational player with an interest in the preservation of peace. The New York Times editorial by the Russian leader in today’s edition was the equivalent of rubbing kosher salt into a still festering wound. Putin’s hilariously balls out take on all of the amateurish Obama administration’s propaganda and talking points as well as the Russian leader’s preaching from the moral high ground he now occupies must have elitist assholes puckering from sea to shining sea. I recall my liberal friends in the early days of the administration’s first four years as fantasizing of Obama being the chess master and the Michael Jordan of national and global politics, just laying back and studying the opposition like the basketball great and when the time was right he would explode, destroying the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys defense and winning the title. It is pretty obvious now that he has just been slam dunked by Putin, a professional who seems to delight in exposing our dear leader as the rank and easily manipulated incompetent buffoon that he is.

So for now while the attack has been temporarily postponed pending further revelations of intelligence community lies that will be peddled by El Presidente to the public because hell hath no fury like a narcissist scorned. Get ready because today Barry once again renewed the unspoken but ongoing state of emergency that was declared by the Bushreich three days after  9/11.  This rotten administration is going to have its Syrian war and God help anyone who opposes him as he now wields the full power and fury of the police state and will unleash it with impunity upon those who dare to stand behind him and his precious legacy of a war president. What they did to the Occupy movement by sanctioning and supporting police brutality is nothing .It is just a matter of waiting for notoriously short attention spanned Americans to become distracted and forget about Syria altogether. Hey, it’s now NFL football season and Dancing With the Stars will have the latest season debut next week + both of which will make it easier for Barry to break bad.

The sheeple will soon be conditioned to just stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.
