Since scanning for news didn’t yield much today, I was going to mention comments made by Laura Ingraham on Chris Wallace’s show Fox News Sunday yesterday morning.
In brief, she opined that the current administration made a very big mistake by pulling our forces out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Further believing the withdrawal was harmful because it empowered enemies formerly fearing our presence, gave an impression of U.S. weakness, and worse, emboldened terrorists in other nations elsewhere in the region, such as Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, no longer concerned by any kind of retaliation from us.
I thought the issue worth mention because it clearly demonstrated another example of how much damage poor, unqualified decisions affect our entire population. Yet, nothing can presently be done regardless of the potential peril for all whereas Dem's still control two thirds of voting power.
But then, as if the preceding isn’t ludicrous enough, I just now came across an article titled: “China Is Reaping Biggest Benefits of Iraq Oil Boom,” by Tim Arango and Clifford Krauss of The New York Times via Drudge.
According to the authors, “China already buys nearly half the oil that Iraq produces, nearly 1.5 million barrels a day, and is angling for an even bigger share, bidding for a stake now owned by Exxon Mobil in one of Iraq’s largest oil fields."
Denise Natali, a Middle East expert at the National Defense University in Washington, said “The Chinese are the biggest beneficiary of this post-Saddam oil boom in Iraq. They need energy, and they want to get into the market.”
The column also notes that “Before the invasion, Iraq’s oil industry was sputtering, largely walled off from world markets by international sanctions against the government of Saddam Hussein, so his overthrow always carried the promise of renewed access to the country’s immense reserves.”
So, putting all this together with Laura Ingraham's thoughts, the morons presently in DC feel that our presence in the Middle East is wrong. Consequently they push for removal of our troops which in turn destabilizes the entire region. But then, if that isn’t enough, they abandon the footholds gained, forgoing the assistance we provided to rebuild the failed Iraqi oil industry and permit the Chinese who did absolutely nothing to earn the right, to reap the rewards of what we and our military accomplished.
Therefore, in conclusion, I’ve got to believe that if there’s anyone dumber or less capable of running a government, they’d have to be taking ignorance lessons. Because no one could possibly be this incompetent, shortsighted or blockheaded on their own.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
