It Will Cost Taxpayers $5 Billion To Help Obama Create An ISIS Strategy

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We can hear the narrative now... how can Congress turn down President Obama's demands for $5 billion to pay for a 'counter-terrorism' fund that could be used to support operations against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria... if they do, are they not supporting terrorism? As The Hill reports, White House press secretary Josh Earnest floated the $5 billion counterterrorism fund as something that “would strengthen the hand of this president and future presidents for dealing with urgent situations like this." We await Wednesday night's unveiling of the long-awaited strategy...

 

As The Hill reports,

White House press secretary Josh Earnest floated the $5 billion counterterrorism fund as something that “would strengthen the hand of this president and future presidents for dealing with urgent situations like this.”

 

Earnest offered comments Monday in response to questions about what Obama’s message would be to congressional leaders headed to the White House on Tuesday.

 

This is a core component of the president’s strategy for dealing with this and other issues like it around the globe; that is, additional resources that can be used by the United States to build up effective partners so that when the United States has to confront threats like this, that we have well-trained, well-equipped, effective partners that we can work with to confront these problems,” Earnest said.

 

The White House cautioned that the president has not made a final decision on whether to expand military operations against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). As a result, no final decisions have been made on how operations could be expanded.

The strategy is coming...

Obama is slated to meet Tuesday afternoon with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

 

The following day, Obama is to address the public on his plans for ISIS, which over the past month has executed two American journalists while threatening the United States.

Thoughtfully, President Obama is consulting Congress...

"...as a general matter, what I can say is that the president is interested in their buy-in, is interested in a congressional debate, and is interested in consulting closely with the leaders in Congress so that they feel brought into this process and they feel like the partners that they actually are as the elected representatives of the American people.”

*  *  *

Over the weekend, Obama told “Meet the Press” that he was already “confident that I have the authorization that I need to protect the American people.”

Listen, Obama's strategy is nothing short of brilliant.

What do you think? In the throws of the worst "DEPRESSION" in the USSA, this "JERK-OFF" is asking for multi-billions to fight the greatest fighting force know to man kind!

Sounds like it should be more like 100 billion.

Let me be clear, I think you should take some of that Obamacare money that is burning a hole in your USSA treasury's pocket and "DIVERT IT"!

Protect 'merica from the "TERRORISTS"!

How 'bout "NO" and "FUCKING NO"! Of course. ISIL is safe. Come and join them. They await your tactical skills!

I am pretty sure the $5 Billion is to pay off ISIS to end their attacks in Iraq, and thus sweep the problem under the magic carpet. Much as the Gen Petraeus did during the Bush years to end the insurgency in Iraq. the US is now Rome. During the Decline of the Roman Empire, Rome paid off the barbarians to prevent them from attacking Roman controlled lands.

Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (Incompetence is something else. As is Malice)

Occam's Razor: ... among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.

Kirk's Razor leverages both Razors, to cut to the Lowest Common Denominator of Equally Simple Explanations.  The combo of circumstances + human nature will determine which is the likeliest of the Simplest Explanations of detrimental factors:  Stupidity, Incompetence, Inability, Malice, Agenda, or Greed.  In this situation I decided that Greed was a better fit than the others.

p.s. I did not junk you.  I never do that for people simply disagreeing with me.  In fact, for the sake of seeking a "better truth", I invite a robust debate.  Preferably a rational and civil debate.

pps. I agree with "prymythirdeye", and note that my comment that attributes it to Greed does not contradict his.

Burka?  Forget it, Sylvia - I'm not going to cross-dress for anyone!

Of course we know the "official" battle-cry.  What I'm suggesting with the same version in Hebrew ("Elohim gadol!"), is that many of us do NOT believe it to be a genuine Islamic movement, but a MOSSAD-controlled movement.  Hence the sarcastic use of the He-brew version ("Elohim gadol!") and its phonetic morphing into comic satire ("Ello, him got oil").

The "preponderance of evidence" includes the fact that they are attacking or threatening Suni Muslims and Shiia Muslims and Christians -- but not Jews.  They are also threatening far away super powers (USA, Russia), and not the regional super powers (Israel, KSA), who have cause to fear and oppose them.  Plus you don't have their kind of sophistication simply fall out of the sky. 

An objective and rational person simply cannot ignore or discount these blatant "Tells".  Maybe those towel-heads are willing to stop thinking -- I am not.

The trees are safe because no printing is needed. ISIS has an account at JPM set up for direct deposit.

I just ordered one of our attorneys to create an LLC in the US and submit a proposal and bid for $1 drawing on our various expert associations. It will be sent to the pres & each congress person mentioned above. It will cover all current and future strategies for all counter-terrorism along with detailed plans required for global, regional or local engagements with the enemy.

If they fail to respond or acknowledge it we will be leaking our bid proposal to the MSM first with the expectation that they will show their complicity in the cover-up. And then we will send it to alternative media.

We will never disclose the strategies to the public. But you know how those pesky hackers can break into anything and leak things.

Think of this as our contribution to America and freedom.

A trivial expense, easy to cover by just removing all the hispanic parasite invaders from entitlement programs, would allow USA to finance many more such essential actions. And by redeploying the money this way we will get something valuable for the money instead of just proliferating parasites.

OK , grasshppers here is how it works:

Osama bin Laden, the Al Queada thought (there is no real heirarchy) is to have America, the West spit their energy into the desert with their war machines, fruitlessly..

Persian military tactics (I'm placing Arabs with them which will attract  some criticism -get over it) haven't changed in two thousand years.  In 54 BC Persians destroyed, eradicated 7 legions under Marcus Crassus (the wealthiest man of Rome, a partner in the ruling triumvirate with Ceasar and Pompey).  No battle, just a hot, flat  desert, a hot sun, not much water, Persian archers with unlimited ammunition (the Persian general had many, many carts of arrows delivered to the archers at the front) and eventual massacre of almost all of the Romans, including Mracus Crassus and his oldest son Publius and heir who had served under Ceasar in Gaul..

Never a direct battle.

Today ISIS, ISIL whatever the fuck they are called will spend pennies to thousands of dollars against that  which the US/Military/NATO spends.  Osama's strategy still lives; sucking America's energy in battles of attrition.

A real leader-not President Obamam- would let it go,let the countries close to the 'uprising' take the lead-maybe give them some supplies and soem (cheap) rhetoric ,that's it.

This crazy horseshit that ISIS will come to America is scare tactics, nothing more.

Personally, I'm more worrried about militaristic police forces  like in Ferguson than I am about ISIS, ISIL Putin or any other future, foreign , faux bogeyman the American MSM manifests....

That's nice, but Marcus Crassus didn't have infinitely generous taxpayers to foot the bill, not helos and other modern transport devices, plus incredibly profitable drones and shit. There was no digital printer, and coins could only be clipped so much in those days before they were too small to hold (and the secret of debasement was out).

Nor had Marcus Crassus heard about Eretz Israel or the Oded Yinon plan, CONgressional Capture, or AIPAC. Times have changed...

There is no way these CNN polls are valid in the least, they probably polled a total of like 10 people. . . in their office.\

 

Go ask the average American what ISIS is, they probably wont even know, never mind care about it, most people would probably think its some kind of rock band or something.

Obama's Isis strategy SO FAR (what has been put into action):

1)Open Borders and no border patrol.

2)Drone strikes at random locations

3)Wire Tap every americans phone, and record soo much data that you could not possibly sift through it in any meaningful amount of time to make any use of it because "recording everything" is more important than "recording what matters".

4)Never target any terrorist leaders

5)When given the opportunity, fund a terrorist organization or "start a new one" from scratch.

6)When possible, fund rebel groups to de-stabilize nations

7)When possible support puppet leaders of unstalble states to extract resources and make enemies with other super-powers in the process.

8)Spit in everyones face who offers to help 

9)Offend your clossest allies by spying on them for no reason.

10) Act fiscally irresponsible so that other nations start to hate you even more because of the financial stress you cause them.

11)Play golf for around 4 months out of the year (around 3000 hours of gold should doit).

12)Get on national TV and tell everyone "you dont have a plan" right after stepping off the golf course.

13)Only attend big political events when there is a golf course within a mile of the event, so that you can completely side-step the event and go play golf.

14)Spend millions if not billions of dollars of public money to fund your personal endeavors and the political careers of your friends and previous financiers.

15)Make journalists and such whom expose you endup crashing a Mercedes Benz at 120MPH into a tree and make it look like suicide, because crashing into a tree at 120MPH is how 90% of the population offs themselves. . . 

 

I could go on, but it wouldn't mean anything ^^ its just soo crazy how stupid our govt/political system is, its amazing that it still functions on some what of a basic level, its like 1 out of 8 people working for govt do their job and the rest runs "automatically" based on computers writing and mailing checks to people.

 

 

Lets put it this way, I would not trust Obama to Valet Park My Car! never mind "protect the American people", the dude would probably park my car in the middle of a golf course.

The Middle East fund The Eastern Europe fund, and last but not least The American Streets Imploding fund otherwise known as The Ferguson fund

And when you boyz and girlz are finished with all of that and if you manage to survive you may retire without a pension cause "the strategy" is a work in progress that will not only take your lives but your pension(s) along with it!

cost the US well over $1 Trillion in

subsequent costs.

Total eradication of ISIS will cost
more like $500 Billion for starters,
if indeed it is possible at all.

Total eradication of ISIS will require the
