There are questions that I would like to be entered into this debate on Syria. Why is it that Christians are routinely murdered by Muslim mobs with hardly a word coming from our government but we are willing to risk a Middle-East war in outrage over Syria? Why do we ignore Iran and threaten its puppet? Why are we always defending the radical Islamist? Have we forgotten who was responsible for 9/11, for passenger planes flying into the World Trade Center and people leaping out of those buildings to avoid the heat? Did the heroes of Flight 93 die at the hands of an organization that our government is trying to prop up?
The United States military, or "my military" as Barack Obama has recently, and astonishingly....even sickeningly described them, has said that they are prepared for all possible contingencies. Really? Or were they pressured into making these statements? Let's take the time to get the full story.
With Benghazi, the NSA and other issues that are closing in on this administration, and immigration reform and defunding Obamacare seriously jeopardizing Barack Obama's agenda, the Syria situation seems to be a convenient diversion.
In 1994 the Clinton Administration failed to step in to stop the genocide in Rwanda where estimates of 500,000 to one million people were killed. President Clinton said that he "regretted" that failure. A Wikipedia article on Susan Rice gives these clues on how she, as the National Security Advisor, might act today on Syria. As a then part of the National Security Council team in the Clinton administration she is quoted as saying at the time "If we use the word 'Genocide,' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November election?" In the aftermath of the Rwanda genocide she is quoted again, "I swore to myself that if I ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required." I would like her to be questioned as how much politics is playing in the Syria situation and also would she expound on her "going down in flames" comment? Particularly...does just she go down in flames....or do we all?
The situation that we find ourselves in right now is that we have an assortment of people that chance could not have put together, who are extraordinary in their total lack of wisdom, untrustworthiness and history of political underhandedness, who are making a decision for war. Barack Obama's allegiances are in doubt along with that of a number of people he has brought to government, John Kerry is about the last person one should consult on any matters of national security, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and John Boehner are using this in an attempt to reestablish their fading leadership in the party. We as a nation have never been as bereft of wisdom in that leadership as we are today.
One last thought is on Israel. It has no greater friend in the world than the Conservatives in America. Hezbollah is Israel's enemy and their biggest imminent threat. We understand that. Do not draw us into war on false premises. Do no join into Barack Obama's schemes for he will never voluntarily support you and you may lose much of your support in America.
