Back off!

Again, no military action should be taken by the USA on Syria/Assad.

Syria has agreed to an arrangement that Kerry said would result in no military action being taken.

After midnight tonight the interview Assad had with Charlie Rose should be available for viewing online.

It remains to be seen what will transpire in our Congress. It is widely known that the vast majority of citizens here disagree with our country taking military action against Assad.

I look forward to the UN report on their analysis of the alleged chemical weapons use. Thing is Assad says they were used but against his army. So depending on where the specimens were taken would be good information to share with the world.

Chemical weapons – more to the story?

“Syrian rebels in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta have admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale Gavlak that they were responsible for last week’s chemical weapons incident which western powers have blamed on Bashar Al-Assad’s forces, revealing that the casualties were the result of an accident caused by rebels mishandling chemical weapons provided to them by Saudi Arabia.”

Syrian rebels admit chemical weapons incident their fault

Syrian rebels also have access to chemical weapons via Saudi Arabia

Is it possible WH knows this and is using it as a false flag ops?

Follow up questions:

1. Why isn’t this story appearing on AP News?

2. Why isn’t MSM following up on this story?

3. What reasonable advantage would Assad have had to do such a thing?

4. Is the intercepted phone call misunderstood by the WH? Is it the actions of a panicked officer/administrator reacting at a subordinate assuming one of theirs took things too far (i,e. not following orders)?

Still – with this swirl and the pounding the WH is now giving Congress via MSM that they need to give him the okay – STILL – whatever the answers are to the questions stated above – we have absolutely no business engaging in Syria via military actions of any kind. We have no business funneling any type of guns, ammunition or other weapons into the mix either. Humanitarian assistance by those who want to help, have at it.

Think of it this way, the less opportunity for bungling by the president of the USA – the better.

Revealing week

The analysis in this morning’s Debka article is solid, though I disagree with the call to action in the last two paragraphs in reference to Israel.

The USA’s president should have never opened his mouth in reference to red lines in referring to Syria a few months ago. He was shooting off his mouth and publically displaying his arrogance. Now here we go again. He states he is going to make them pay with a precise “shot over the bow” and then contemplates his navel and jelly backbone for the week, just long enough (if does such action) that Assad has moved his helicopters, planes, troops to safe shelter so as to minimize any actual damage. Again, we have no business being the world’s police. They (Syria) have not attacked us or our allies nor is our allies (Israel) wanting us to attack Syria. We should keep out of it – period.

I agree that the activities in Syria and the bungling bravado of our current administration has bolstered AQ, Iran, Hezbelloah and Assad while also providing more insight to Israel about just how solid our actions will be in reference to the Iranian nuclear issue.

The United States of America has a lot of problems which are not being addressed or are being addressed incorrectly. The current administration elected by the majority of voters in our clueless society is an accurate snapshot of the ills of our society. At the core the issue is a values system that is erroneous and often immoral. You can not reasonably or sanely expect consistent moral and ethical behavior from such a damaged foundation.

rhetoric and reality

While AP and the WH try to create the idea of “oh boy you are going to get in trouble” vibe to Syria and the world with the latest rhetoric the reality is pointed out by Debka which is that the very same WH had the USS carrier the Truman leave the area on the very same day the sarin attacks occurred.

Again we are having the chief empty suit in the WH make comments similar to the familiar empty rhetoric of imaginary red lines when crossed that will lead to decisive action and the reality of nothing but shifting around and ducking follow up questions on inaction.

Catching up

A lot of things have been going on in personal life which has kept me from posting here like I want to. I have quite a bit of articles and news in my folder as things to share which are somewhat old news now. At the bottom of the post are links to articles of interest I wanted to share and still do.

The developments in Egypt seem to be improving. Why do I write that? Because the leader of the MB has been arrested as well as many of the high level leaders. Some were captured dressed like women trying to leave the country. I’m sure others hid among children and women using them as human shields being the cowards and immoral troublemakers they are. Saudi Arabia stood up for the people of Egypt in the nick of time and got the idiots in our government and other WH cronies in Europe to shut up with their pro-MB rhetoric. Absolute idiots – all of them. Of course blood has been shed – that is what happens when you try to disarm and remove power from murderers and terrorists. I think the nation is fortunate that so far the death toll is not higher than it is.

Syria and more evidence of current chemical weapons. I doubt Assad did it or put another way – that he authorized such use. Hopefully he will give investigators full access and the whole story will come out. I suspect it will be the actions of radicals – Islamists – also known as terrorists trying to bring intervention of the world in to the arena to remove him from power so that they can hopefully fill the vacuum when the dust settles (see recent history in Egypt and Libya).

So quickly here in the USA the NSA’s intrusion in our lives with the full power and knowledge of the Democrat WH has become old news and back burnered (if even on the stove). The actions by the UK against Greenwald’s partner shows the heart of those we are suppose to actually trust. The loser president of the US pontificating a couple weeks ago of real independent investigation into the NSA practices has been revealed to be —– wait for it ——– yet another ——— L I E. It is a team of four people, one a recent acting head of the CIA and 3 former WH advisers. Meanwhile in the USA the majority of people are tuning into some show Duck Dynasty. Absolutely no wonder we got what we have in leadership positions in our governments.

Big dive coming in the US economy. Never rely on the government numbers. They are skewed – they admit they are if you are willing to read the details and fine print. To understand the state of the economy you must look at the actual numbers of the companies/manufacturers/etc. It is obvious when looking at sales and profits things are off. When welfare hand outs are at their highest levels ever – don’t “drink the kool-aid” and look around.

On a less serious note I see that a huge blunder has been made by Warner Brothers.

Obama: Pro-Muslim extremism and the need for an “American Spring”

The corrupt, unethical & immoral presidential leadership of the USA needs to be rebuked and removed for its inability to behave in a ethically moral way. His – the president – MO of shooting off his mouth, getting in the way of historical allies, sticking his nose in everyone’s business while ignoring the substantial problems in his own country —- needs to come to an end. While it is true that his actual post is a reflection of the glaring problems in the society of the USA moral, spiritual and philosophical fabric; that should not provide him license to behave in the manner he has since winning his first election. Leadership should not be reduced to a benchmark of society. Leadership is suppose to lead and pull the organization/people up with them and thereby hopefully others who are watching as well. We have a leadership vacuum in the executive and legislative branches of our government. We NEED an AMERICAN SPRING.

Today’s Debka article summarizes two recent shenanigans of the current WH administration. Please take a brief moment and look at the reasoning behind the actions.

“To calm the tension, the US Embassy in Egypt said on its website Saturday: “We deny false claims in the Egyptian press that US naval ships are in the vicinity of the Arabian Peninsula and the Suez Canal to militarily invade Egypt.”

According to our sources, the US flotilla was brought in to warn Egyptian strongman Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his generals that if they took their persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood too far, American Marines stood ready to step in.”

2 cents: Since when is corralling instigators of violence considered persecution? Since when is arresting conspirators of murder considered persecution?

“The Obama administration is signifying its strong disapproval of Israel and Egypt taking matters in their own hands in the last two weeks, DEBKAfile’s military and Washington sources report: Israel was accused of independent military action against Syria, and the Egyptian army of persecuting the Muslim Brotherhood after deposing President Mohamed Morsi.

Washington is also highly displeased with the campaign the Egyptian army launched after the coup, with Israel’s active support, to root out the Islamist terror blighting the Sinai Peninsula. US warships and marines are now parked off Egypt’s Red sea coast as a deterrent to the generals in Cairo.

For whipping Israeli into line, the administration used another method, i.e., Pentagon leaks naming Israeli air strikes as responsible for the explosions at the Syrian weapons depot outside the port town of Latakia on July 5, which demolished a fresh stock of Russian Yakhont (NATO codenamed SS-N-26) shore-to-ship missiles along with their advanced radar.
Although CNN ran this leak Friday, July 7, sourcing it to three separate unnamed US officials, the New York Times repeated the story Saturday and it was picked up by more US media for the third day running on Sunday.

Israel declined to comment on the report.”

2 cents:

  • When a nation is trying to address terrorism within its borders why would you threaten them? They are not arresting peace abiding civilians. They are going after people similar to the two idiots who terrorized Boston.
  • When your allies act on what they said they would do if advanced weapons were brought in close to their borders – since when would you throw them under a bus? Why would O object to keeping the Hezbollah and Syrian pro-Assad supporters away from advanced weaponry?
