Why do the last few days seem like a bad movie repeated over and over?
An indecisive narcissistic leader who likes to place blame on anybody but himself is surrounded by a slobbering slavishly devoted cult.
He has shown over and over that he does not care what his opposition thinks; in fact, he generally shows contempt for half the population, sneering and snickering at their beliefs, occasionally showing them his middle finger by "scratching" his nose in what he perceives as a sly dig.
The narcissist is prone to rhetorical flourishes, like claiming his followers should bring a gun to a knife fight. One day he draws himself into a political box. He figures, as in his own country, no one will oppose his decrees.
His enemies--al Qaeda?--latch onto mistake.
There is some question. Who released the nerve gas? There are testimonies on both sides.
So here we are.
Where did VietNam syndrome go, I'm wondering, which afflicted so many Americans for so many years?
How bizarre to see those war protesters now clamoring for "war," as Nancy Pelosi declares it.
Suddenly the soft-voiced dim-witted Boxers of the Senate are full-throatedly declaring that the children! the children! must be saved in Syria!
There is no clear and defined objective. The goal is not to remove Assad. The goal is not to rid the country of WMD. The goal is....what?
To settle Syria's civil war, as the Senate foreign relations resolution states?
Really? Really?
Does Obama, who fancies himself The One Who Can Turn Back The Oceans, really think he can put to rest centuries of internecine fighting?
No. No troops in Syria. No more interaction with these warmongering people.
They must solve the problems themselves, otherwise, even if we were able to temporarily stop the carnage, as soon as we leave the war starts again.
When this POTUS wasn't even willing to rhetorically support the Iranian people or the Egyptian people, why now?
Indeed. Why now in Syria?
Too many unanswered questions.
