Summarizing The President's Speech
Update: Senator McCain blasts Jay Carney - "you don't have the facts" and President Obama "he doesn't understand the situation" in this post-speech CNN interview... well worth the price of admission...
In 15 minutes, President Obama laid out his 4-pronged strategy to defat and dismantle ISIS/ISIL/The Islamic State/'The Bad Guys'...
We suspect this tweet sums it perfectly...
POTUS Summary: We'll be bombing a sovereign nation (Syria) We'll be arming terrorist groups while fighting them. #Ref Economy is Great
— Stalingrad & Poorski (@Stalingrad_Poor) September 11, 2014
But here is The White House's official statement of strategy...
FACT SHEET: Strategy to Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a clear threat to the people of Iraq and Syria, and to the broader Middle East, as well as U.S. persons, allies and interests in the region. Left unchecked, ISIL could pose a growing threat beyond the region, including to the U.S. homeland.
The United States is meeting this threat with strength and resolve. In recent weeks, we have increased intelligence resources devoted to the threat and sent U.S. personnel to assess the situation on the ground. We have responded with immediate action to protect Americans in Iraq and to prevent large-scale humanitarian catastrophes, including by conducting over 150 successful airstrikes in Iraq. These strikes have kept our personnel and facilities in Baghdad and Erbil safe, killed ISIL fighters, destroyed ISIL equipment, protected Iraqi critical infrastructure, and broken ISIL sieges against an Iraqi city and civilians trapped on a mountain. Along with dozens of international partners, we have provided material support for Iraqi forces to support their fight against ISIL. Our strikes and resupply efforts have enabled Iraqi forces to take the fight to ISIL on the ground, reclaim key territory, and saved thousands of innocent lives.
Our goal is clear: to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy so that it’s no longer a threat to Iraq, the region, the United States, and our partners. To achieve this goal, our strategy will be underpinned by a strong coalition of regional and international partners who are willing to commit resources and will to this long-term endeavor. Dozens of countries are already contributing in Iraq – from military to humanitarian support – and in coming days and weeks we will work to strengthen and expand that coalition.
In concert with our coalition partners, the United States will carry out a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIL and deny them safe-haven. That strategy harnesses all elements of national power and features the following core elements:
Supporting Effective Governance in Iraq: We have made clear that additional U.S. action depended on Iraq forming an inclusive government, because only a united Iraq -- with a government in Baghdad that has support from all of Iraq’s communities -- can defeat ISIL. A new Iraqi government was formally sworn in on September 8 and we will support it in efforts to govern inclusively and to take significant, concrete steps to address the legitimate grievances and needs of all Iraqis.
Denying ISIL Safe-Haven: The Iraqi Government is taking the fight to ISIL, and will ultimately be the one to defeat it in Iraq. But our Iraqi and regional partners need our support and unique capabilities to blunt ISIL’s advance. The President announced that we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. Working with the Iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions so that we’re hitting ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense. The President also made clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. The President will not hesitate to take direct military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria and in Iraq. We will degrade ISIL’s leadership, logistical and operational capability, and deny it sanctuary and resources to plan, prepare and execute attacks. Simply put, ISIL will find no safe-haven.
Building Partner Capacity: We will build the capability and capacity of our partners in the region to sustain an effective long-term campaign against ISIL. The President announced that he will send an additional 475 U.S. service members to Iraq to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces with training, intelligence and equipment. In addition to providing weapons, ammunition and equipment, U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) will train and advise Iraqi forces, including Kurdish forces, improving their ability to plan, lead and conduct operations against ISIL. Further, the new Iraqi government has asked for help forming National Guard units that would be recruited locally and be responsible for protecting their own communities and securing areas freed from ISIL's control - a step that, along with long overdue political reforms, can drive a wedge between ISIL and Sunnis who have been alienated by their central government.
The President is also calling on Congress to provide additional authorities and resources to train and equip Syrian opposition fighters in the Continuing Resolution they are debating this work period, so they can defend themselves and their neighborhoods against ISIL incursions and ultimately push back on ISIL forces and the Assad regime. We will strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syria’s crisis once and for all.
The growing and evolving nature of the ISIL threat underscores the importance of the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (CTPF). The CTPF request for $5 billion would allow us to train, build capacity, and facilitate support for partner countries on the front lines of countering shared terrorist threats, both in the region and beyond. The CTPF includes $500 million for a Department of Defense program to train and equip the Syrian opposition as described above and $1 billion to build resiliency in the states neighboring Syria to ensure they can continue to counter threats to their internal stability and to support communities that are contending with refugees.
Enhancing Intelligence Collection on ISIL: Continuing to gain more fidelity on ISIL’s capabilities, plans, and intentions is central to our strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy the group. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance flights and other important efforts will strengthen our ability to understand this threat, as well as to share vital information with our Iraqi and other regional partners to enable them to effectively counter ISIL.
Disrupting ISIL’s Finances: ISIL’s expansion over the past year has given it access to significant and diverse sources of funding. The U.N. Security Council resolution that passed unanimously in August demonstrated the broad international consensus to disrupt ISIL’s finances. We are already working aggressively with our partners on a coordinated approach that includes: reducing ISIL’s revenue from oil and assets it has plundered; limiting ISIL’s ability to extort local populations; stemming ISIL’s gains from kidnapping for ransom; and disrupting the flow of external donations to the group. Our domestic laws also provide additional tools in this effort, enabling us to sanction or prosecute those who fund ISIL’s activities.
Exposing ISIL’s True Nature: Clerics around the world have spoken up in recent weeks to highlight ISIL’s hypocrisy, condemning the group’s barbarity and criticizing its self- proclaimed “caliphate.” We will work with our partners throughout the Muslim world to highlight ISIL’s hypocrisy and counter its false claim to be acting in the name of religion.
Disrupting the Flow of Foreign Fighters: Foreign terrorist fighters are ISIL’s lifeblood, and a global security threat—with citizens of nearly 80 countries filling its ranks. Over 100 foreign fighters from the United States have traveled or attempted to travel to the conflict. On September 24, the United States will convene an historic Summit-level meeting of the UN Security Council, focused on this issue.
Protecting the Homeland: We will continue to use the criminal justice system as a critical tool in our counterterrorism toolbox. Federal criminal laws provide a sound basis to prosecute those who provide material support to ISIL or who conspire with ISIL to plot attacks at home or abroad. With respect to aviation security, we will work with air carriers to implement responsible threat-based security and screening requirements, and provide additional screening to individuals suspected of affiliation with ISIL. Finally, we will counter violent extremism here at home, including tailored domestic programs to prevent violent extremism and radicalization in order to intervene with at-risk individuals before they become radicalized toward violence and decide to travel abroad to Syria and Iraq to join ISIL.
Humanitarian Support: We and our partners will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the displaced and vulnerable in Iraq and Syria. We will also continue to work with host governments to mitigate the humanitarian and economic effects of the conflict in neighboring countries, recognizing that the refugee crisis calls on our common humanity and presents a significant challenge to regional stability. As ISIL seeks to destroy the diversity of the territories it terrorizes, we will continue to work to help prevent mass atrocities, particularly against vulnerable religious and ethnic minorities.

STATEMENT BY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE CHUCK HAGEL ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ISIL SPEECH
President Obama laid out a strong, comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL, and the United States military is prepared to carry out its responsibilities in this counter-terrorism campaign. The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces are ready to carry out the orders of our Commander-in-Chief, to work with our partners across government, and to work with our friends and allies around the world to accomplish this mission. As the President made clear, American military power cannot alone eradicate the threats posed by ISIL to the United States, our allies, and our friends and partners in the region. Iraq's continued political progress toward a more inclusive government will be critical, as will our coalition's use of all instruments of power -- military, law enforcement, economic, diplomatic, intelligence, and humanitarian assistance -- in coordination with countries in the region.

Oh and America's economy is awesome...
Our technology companies and universities are unmatched. Our manufacturing and auto industries are thriving. Energy independence is closer than it’s been in decades. For all the work that remains, our businesses are in the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our history. Despite all the divisions and discord within our democracy, I see the grit and determination and common goodness of the American people every single day, and that makes me more confident than ever about our country’s future.

McCain looks like a big lab rat. I think the Vietnamese kept him in a cage too long.
Obama must really hate it---
Just when he was getting comfortable
with everyone believing he is
the world's ultimate idiot......
Along comes McCain and
upstages him again....
McCain and Graham got played like the fools they are by the Saudis.
Gotta keep the US war machine running! Kill, kill, kill the scary, phantom bogeyman!
Should be a nice boost to the "economy".
on the eve of 9/11
Is it just my TV set or did Obama look orange? In which case this could be the oompa loompa plan proposed by Ukraine’s Chocolate king ( the big Wonka) Pornoshenca.
POTUS Summary: Economy is Great.
Watch Detroit’s bankruptcy trial to get a handle on the nation’s plight and the effects of its out-of-control unionized public sector as well as the dire effects of the hostile mergers and takeovers of America’s corporations that resulted in the offshoring of America’s manufacturing base and jobs to benefit Wall Street at the destruction of Main.
According to the AP, most creditors, including about 30,000 retirees and city employees, have endorsed Detroit's plan to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion..
“Detroit's debt includes $3.5 billion in unfunded pension liabilities.”
Steven Schlein, a spokesman for a law firm representing Syncora, told the AP September 9 the company would get 26 percent of what it's owed.
The trial in federal bankruptcy court started Sept 2, 2014.

Marin Voice: We’re not close to a ‘just balance’ on public pensionsSeptember 9, 2014 By Stephen Frank
We know CalPERS has an unfunded liability of $640 billion. Also, that the pension plan has begun the process of raising city and government agency contributions by 50%. Many cities are cutting services to pay for CalPERS. Some are trying to pass bonds, to sue for projects the General Fund pays for, so the city will have money to pay off the pension plan. They are getting creative with ways to abuse the taxpayer and keep the out of kilter system going. How bad is it?
“Doing so would enable us to address egregious abuses in the current system. For example, a retired assistant fire chief for Los Angeles now receives a pension of more than $900,000. A Los Angeles police captain pulls in $750,000. A retired San Diego program manager gets $600,000, a retiree from Vernon more than $500,000. Surely we can agree that these scales need balancing.”

Obama look over your left shoulder,the real terrorist is saudi arabia.so isis or is didnt go to plan and now we are going to try again.

don't strain your neck looking
over your shoulder, when
all you have to do is look in the mirror
Obama is gonna fix it all for us. All is well.
I'm feeling better already.
when are they going to declare the USA under Obama a threat to humankind.
that guy is seriously delirious and the country unpredictable.
Have we not had enough yet??
It is ironic the President's speech falls on the eve of 9-11. Up to now I have heard little about 9-11 compared to all the coverage made in prior years as the anniversary of this day approaches. Like many Americans I still find myself amazed that the 9-11 attack ever succeeded and I'm shocked at how against all odds the unseemly plan proved so effective. Thoughts that it was an inside job linger with many people.
As I write this I'm aware that if another major attack occurs those who have built the massive and expensive homeland security apparatus will use it as proof you can never do enough. For more on how Americans should put this out of their minds and and muster the courage to press on with a stiff upper lip see the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/09/9-11-in-prospective.html
CNN....
Spot the Idiot competition.
I wonder how tax payers would just hand over $18,000 right now, so we can go to go to war with Iraq?
" There was an Obama that swallowed a fly, I don't why he swallowed a fly....perhaps he'll die.
There was an Obama who swallowed a spider that wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside him, he swallowed the spider to catch the fly,I don't know why he swallowed the fly..... Perhaps he'll die...." You guys know the rest
Sadly this ol nursery rhyme doesn't have a happy ending. I think BHO should have another quick read of this very meaningful classic, it could save his and ohh about another 300,000,000 lives give or take
I thought Obama should be wearing these ......http://i.imgur.com/62AfSrR.jpg
We hired Obama because he's Black. Half Black actually. Could we please FIRE this guy for being 100% Incompetent?
He got the NPP too. Weird...
Obama was hired because at the time
hiring him seemed easier tha moving
the nations Capital to Salt Lake City
Happy 9-11 everyone.
It's early in the day, hope this one doesn't turn into a doozy.
and a big Happy Media Fakery day to everyone as well. After all, we probably wouldn't have half the right-infringing "laws" that we do without it! Big round of applause for everyone involved in creating the illusion we call reality.
remember when ISIS didn't care about the us at all? when they had their own solid objectives in syria and iraq and that was generally the limit of their immediate ambitions? well, the us felt left out i guess and had to start blowing people up and intimidating them. thanks obama, thanks for another new "enemy", another new endless war, and the only prospect being chaos. isis, love em or hate em, they were stabilizing a region that has been fucked for a long time. iraq got another puppet government that doesn't give a shit about the people who are supporting isis, but everyone is suppossed to pretend that fact doesn't exist. so, surely, these disaffected sunnis will greet the us as liberators and welcome their new oppressive iraqi oligarchs.
The population is well armed and outnumbers isis, if the population did not want them there, they would not have found a home there. once again, america is against freedom it seems.
Where are the "War Is Not The Answer" bumper stickers now?
Just a note re CNN, viewing figures are so awful now (c 250,000) it may as well be wrapped up and sent home. Their foreign reporting has become so ridiculously propagandic it appears everybody has caught on and switched CNN off. I'm not surprised.
He's destroying America. That is his mandate. Also, contrary to popular belief, other nations do not wish to see the demise of the US as a country. These DC fascist belong to no nation and do not believe in any religion. They only believe in a unipolar world. Rest of us are simply serfs in their eyes. Simply put, they are a hegemonic parasite.
syria pipeline route for qatar GAS..... if it takes place and functions, will cause economic chaos for putin/russia.... that is what links the two issues ISIL/ISIS/IS + ukraine. That is the link. Once qatar can supply europe (via ukraine)... putins EU leverage is disipated.... putin has had the strategy of controlling the pipeline routes to control energy flow from the caspian via georgia (the two provinces he used the "protect russians" excuse for occupying)... and now replaying again in the ukraine... he has cut a deal with israel regarding marketing of some/all of their gas exports... He will build a pipeline to the east for energy distribution to china.. he wants to control the flow. obama cooperated by stifiling gas exports from the ussa and pipelines into the ussa...but he could not stop fracking on private land... the real underlying issue is market control... the world is awaash in energy, so the market is the key in the immediate future.. also linked is the petrodollar. if the markets can function without the dollar (hence the swiftlike arrangement russia / china / brazil set up) then the market is not dependent on ussa. also linked is the nwo/fed control of ALL currencies... so what we are seeing is not at all about the islamic terrorists but rahter who controls the energy/currency globally....
Plus one for the Ragnar Lothbrok "Blood Eagle" reference. All creation groaneth. The prince of the power of the air knows his days are numbered. Our fearless leader,,, hah. We have been without leadership and direction for decades now. We are a very powerful rudderless ship,, however, an armed to the teeth rudderless ship looking for a shoal to permanently run aground on.
We have ruined our manufacturing base. We have dumbed down our education system to the point of being non competitve on the world stage. We have public school teachers buying school supplies out of pocket when some school districts spend 15K per student per year? We have taught grade school children about homosexuality when their only concern is frying a bug with a magnifying glass on recess in the school playground. We have murdered 45 million future Americans in the womb and wonder why Social Security program is going broke? We embrace and call free speech the foulest, perverse, hate whitey,, hate the PoPo rap music and wonder why our kids kill each other in gang wars?
WE ARE BROKEN and NOTHING OR NO ONE IN Washington DC or any other state capitol is going to fix this broken mess. We have become what our words and actions have allowed us to become. See, words mean things. Thoughts become words, words become actions. Our nation is infected with the words of the government and the media. It is sick. It may well be beyond healing. Look around. You like what you see? You like the anger. The hatred? The "let me get mine" attitude above all else.
Turn off the TV. Get to know your neighbor,, it just may save your life in the next few years. Visit a nursing home. Talk to them about their childhoods. See how good we have had it. You know why America has prospered? Hard work. Yes, a four letter word. WORK. See the world doesn't owe you a living. Being born in American doesn't guarantee you a house with two cars in the garage. It doesn't guarantee you a good job with benefits and pensions and income for life. It doesn't guarantee you no adversity as we manuever this thing called life. It does however give you a nation in which private property and the rights of the individual are such that if you WORK, if you have an idea for a business, if you are willing to take risks, then maybe, just maybe ,,, you can go as far and as fast as your feet can take you.
I don't recognize my country. I am a second generation son of an immigrant. It matters not which country dad came from he did it by the book. His proudest day was the day he became an American citizen. That day happened in 1952. I grew up in a 3 bedroom house with one bathroom. I have 6 siblings. We had ten people in that house as gram stayed with us until she died. We worked summers picking fruit from age 12 and bought our own school clothes. We had no money to speak of but we learned to WORK. I have worked for 47 years and that doesnt count shoveling snow or raking leaves for pay before age 12. I am none the worse for wear.
America, it is time to wake up. We are broken. We are infected. We are dying. We need fixing. I am 59. I found the only woman on earth who would put up with me and we married. I have three daughters all married. I have three great sons in law. I have 5 grandchildren. What will American look like in 30 years? To that I have to truly say, I don't know. I do know this and if we are aware of our surroundings at all we have to be honest and say,,,, " We are broken". Are we fixable? I don't know.
What is the answer? I do know this. It will never come out of Washington D C.
Awesome.
Nice family story. Very bad news for you: America was poisoned to death a very long time ago, started with the creation of the income tax, and unlimited source of confiscated earnings, the creation of the FED, the dictator Roosevelt's "screw the income tax-payers" "new" deal after stacking the Supreme Court to pass it, on through Johnson's "Great Society", the very successful objective was to subsidize laziness and failure so as to greatly multiply the ranks of the "poor", etc, etc, etc.
Your descendants are living in the carcass of the long dead America, which will continue rotting unless and until the parasites and all the corruption of the Founders values and principles are eradicated.
Sorry for the bad news, but it is reality.
President is a complete idiot who has no clue what to do other than pander to a political base. Unless Chalky is "community organizing" or fundraising, he might as well be in the movie "Clueless". Fact is, if the US military were left alone to do the job, ISIS would be gone by 5PM the next day. What he wants is to get the dumbass Repubs to sign on to something so he has political cover when it goes bad from his micromanagement. WTF.
www.traderzoo.mobi
An angry President, upset because he was missing a nice time for golfing.
So: pour more money and weapons into an already volatile zone, send US troops to train and arm various armed groups, bomb the shit out of randomly designed targets in Irak, Siria and elsewhere, killing scores of civilians and destroying whole societies, undermine Sirian government (which was a perfectly good partner until a few years ago) and perform more lip actions because we all know that this strategy was very successfull in the last 60 years.
Then wonder how other large bullies (like Russia and China) apply similar strategies to weaker countries.
Fucking frustrated impotents!
There are no "civilians" in any of those "countries" created by England and France after WW1, just islamic cult worshipers - kill them all.
I'd rather kill the judaic cult worshipers - they do more harm.
The Administrations constant use of the name ISIL is disturbing in that it refers to the Levant. The Levant was an area which was conquered by the Arabs under the banner of Islam in 650. By refering to ISIS as ISIL they are setting up a historical presedent for the formation of the caliphate. The secular west cannot fathom that in the name of religion these people will actively seek our demise. They will not stop until at the point of a sword the world is converted.
neo-cons win.
Progressives are in charge dude.
Grimaldus
What a Constitutional disaster. The Executor of the laws and the Commander In Chief of the armed forces is an illegal entity, since Obama is not a natural born Citizen, since he was born BRITISH of a BRITISH subject father. Thus our armed forces are obeying an illegal domestic enemy of the United States, whose main role is to oversee the Cloward Piven destruction of the US, as imposed by the NWO. When there is no legal executor of the laws, then there is no law, and domestic enemy Obama will drop bombs in Syria, no matter what Congress says. Congress is blackmailed by the allowance of the domestic enemy Obama into the Oval Office, and now seek to protect the knowledge of that treason and Usurpation. They will cower in the corner.
Obama is overseeing the overload of the US system, by continual war, continual debasement of currency, borders, religion, and marriage, and the incitement of racial enmity.
It is right before your eyes what Obama is ---- a domestic enemy of the United States, whose removal from office is crucial to the re-establishment of the Republic.
If Obama would do Anything illegal he would be impeached the next day with all the hate there is for him. Congress wants Zero responsibility or they would have it.
Obama says he does not need Congressional approval and as you can see Congress agrees. They would rather just WHINE.
DO NOTHING CONGRESS.
Congress is illegal too. The entire FEDGOV is composed of felons breaking the law.
Grimaldus
If he would do anything illegal? Please, his presence is illegal.
Dolt. Still harping on the citizenship angle. He was born in the US and his mother was a US citizen.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/citizen.asp
I agree that he is heinous, a wolf in sheeps clothing, but try to stick with facts that don't make you look stupid.
I don't believe he was born in the US; funny how that woman who provided his birth "certificate" died in that plane crash where everyone else survived, isn't it? Funny not a soul alive saw him in the days after his birth; all my children could find 30 to 40 people who saw them day of and day after their birth INCLUDING their main physician and nurse. Funny, how that duo citizenship thing should be abolished. No One that has US citizenship should be allowed the benefits of our country, voting rights, et al, and be allowed duo citizenship. This makes them a superior citizen. That goes for Native Americans too. Take your pic: Your country or ours.
Your lack of critical thinking skills makes everything you say suspect.
I don't mind a good conspiracy theory, but you've got nothing but false allegations. No credible sources, even Snopes calls it false. Why not focus on what is wrong with Obama, like his cozy relationship with Wall Street, sell out to corporate interests with Obamacare and inability to end the bogus war on terror for starts? You've gone off the deep end, and look like a fool.
Snopes isn't a credible source here or anywhere else actually.
Says YOU? YOU speak for HERE? lolz
So, please refer me to the ZH post on Obama's birthplace. All you'll find is comments from dolts like you who repeat what they hear without checking facts.
And I'll keep relying on SNOPES to fact check for me on conspiracy theories. They are silent on my favorite CS, Building 7.
I believe everything that begins with the phrase: "Experts say ...."
It makes things so much easier to understand.
So much better than "Glen Beck says"...
Just so tired of that tired story about a guy who will soon be a lame duck. Time to move on and get some new material methinks.
Fck isis..or isil..or icicle or whatever..I wanna hear more about the 6 negroes in little rock.
Great analysis ZH! Could we apply that same analysis to the last 5 years?
It is ironic the President's speech falls on the eve of 9-11. Up to now I have heard little about 9-11 compared to all the coverage made in prior years as the anniversary of this day approaches. As I write this I'm aware that if another major attack occurs those who have built the massive and expensive homeland security apparatus will use it as proof you can never do enough.

Bloodthirsty crackpots. To hell with the entire lot of them. I'm taking my cup to the cellar. The world will improve after a cup of tonic.
It's funny how we don't give a fuck about the "territorial integrity" of any nation on earth, yet demonize and sanction Russia on unproven, unsubstantiated claims of an invasion that doesn't exist except in the minds of the neocon warmongerers in the US and EU!
Hey pal, time to wake up. Marxist progressives are in charge. They actually have been for quite some time.
Duh.
Grimaldus
"Marxist progressives"??
or ZioNazis ???
Progressive policy in action here folks. Always seems to be a crime, doesn't it?
Amongst all the other crimes obama announced he will engage in was the treasonous crime of announcing his intention to the enemy.
Hard to get moar stupid than a progressive.
Grimaldus
Hussein Obama , Kenyan king in WHite House, has to bomb first of all Saudi Arabia, where is being ISIS trained and where ISIS gets the wepons plus funding.
Another proxy war to make sure we are less safe and therefore we need to give up every last bit of freedom so the masters can rape and torture in peace.
We all know this is to defend the doomed dollar:http://www.peakprosperity.com/forum/87218/dollar-defender-infographic-ho...
So even the ultimate incompetent parasite-in-chief obama can be compelled to finally do something beneficial for the productive people. The only thing missing is a draft to gather up all the ghetto garbage, entitlement parasites, latin american invaders, ows, and other accumulated human garbage, stuff them into uniforms and ship them over to the hot zones to make a contribution and to get recycled, leaving America much cleaner and with a huge reduction in subsidy payments to these parasites.
make no mistake a draft attempt is coming
It's not coming; it's here. Some relatives of mine, that recently turned 18, received notices that they had to register for something that, to me, sounds like a draft registration; although it wasn't called such.
Selective service? That's been around since 1917. not new
A draft isn't coming. A draft would mean the Yale Glee Club and the Harvard Rowing Team would be coming back in body bags and without limbs or eyesight. It will never happen.
We may not have gotten the man to end the Iraq war, but at least we elected a black guy. We're not racists.
The new war "Justified by the American People"...so the polls say. This fraud is just another tip of the hat to the few who are paying attention. Can anyone say "Anti-war movement"?
But that would be decidedly anti-American!
Condition same
Continue with your daily hand to mouth, paycheck to (yet smaller) paycheck existences.
Thank you
Here's what I don't understand: we are one of the most individually well-armed nations in the world (something like 400,000,000 private weapons), have the world's strongest military, and yet our fearless leader states that a ragtag army, killing mostly unarmed civilians half a world away, somehow poses a threat to us. How exactly? They're going to conquer Iraq and then use their mighty navy to invade us? As ludicrous as that sounds, it seems to be what our leadership is telling us. But realizing the unbelievability of that story, they make sure that some mass executions, and a couple of beheadings, make their way into the scared sheeple's consciousness, because once the sheeple are properly frightened, they'll swallow anything and put up with any loss of freedoms, even long after the perceived threat is gone.
The only real threat to the safety of this once great country of ours, are the very people who are supposed to be protecting us. The only thing that really keeps me up at night is realizing that the same idiot that is spouting off platitudes about some phantom threat, is the same immature idiot that's in charge of a briefcase that could pulverize the Earth. That, my friends, is the real terror.
the state just voted to take away our plastic bags
That's to encourage you to bring ebola viruses into your local Whole Foods using you recyclable cloth bag with the peace sign and sunflower and give Yuppies more reason to use their shiny new Obamacare.
Ragtags can fight pretty darn hard. Remember Oboma referring to a bunch of "doctors, farmers, and pharmacists" in that derogattory sneer he has? Funny, cause it was a bunch of Doctors, Farmers, and Pharmacists that won our war for independence against the British. Amazing what a bunch of ragtags can do.
You sir, are a complete idiot. To compare the brave people that fought to gain our independence, with this bunch of murderous thugs, is beyond repugnant.
Fuck Jay Carney, he is just the mouth piece of Obama, Jarrett.
So maybe since he's been turned away from the elite golf courses (God Bless 'Em), he'll do some work. Can anyone answer the following questions:
1. How many hours has Oboma spent visiting wounded warriors versus how many hours he's spent golfing in the last year?
2. Will Oboma choose to sell his state secrets and live in Venezuela or China when his "presidency" is over? (Ya'll know he can't live here; too many photographers catching him playing footsie with other women.)
3. Are the Vegas odds makers throwing up a pot for how long after (or even possibly before but probably not cause Michelle jus loves that taxpayer pay-for-my-marie-antoinette-lifestyle) he's done he'll divorce the big-mean-one aka "Michelle?"
4. And most important, can the person who finds Oboma's "little mouse balls but half that size" (courtesy The Heat, Melissa McCarthy) PLEASE return them to Oboma?
And could Fox news please hire women with real knowledge; the fitness instructor...Megyn Kelly is so far out of her league it is embarrassing. Does Fox news know that ten cents and an application and status as a "minority" will get ya through law school. She seems to think that a prosecutorial "bark" is the equivalent of real questions but to ask real questions you need real knowledge. Or as she said recently in the interview with Ward Churchill (slight paraphrase but pretty dang close), "I don't know anything about you..."
Really Fox News? This is the best you can get? And you insult women who watch by not firing her for the GQ photo with her bazungas hanging out. Now maybe she paid good money for them, and if so, she wants to get her money's worth, but you are supposed to be a conservative bastion of real conversation and the kind of questions that O'Reilly and Greta Van Sustern are known for asking. Please fire this one before she embarrasses you anymore.
PS...don't ya love it when women tell you they've been a fitness instructor; The Point they are making is, of course, that even though they don't want you to pay attention to how they look, they really do. Snort).
Go back and soak up some more FOX propaganda. Just remember, lesser of two evils is still evil.
Meanwhile, "libs" like me will listen to real criticism about Obama instead of a lot of fluff.
