Yesterday, El Rushbo delivered one of his typically accurate, down to earth analyses of the reaction in Hollywood to North Korea’s threats regarding Sony’s decision to cancel the opening of a new movie they deem unacceptable to them.   

 

Defining the situation, Rush said: “Okay, so let's apply that to what we have going on here.  Let's look at the hypocrisy, first off.  We were told last night, we were told yesterday, we're being told all day today, that everybody in Hollywood is livid over Sony caving to the Norks.  We are told that people in Hollywood are outraged.  They are fit to be tied. How dare we cave to a bunch of tiny, small-time terrorist cyber hackers? We're a bunch of cowards.”

 

He then took the Hollywood reaction a step further, pointing out that: “The same people who, a few short years ago, ripped George W. Bush for including North Korea in the axis of evil. The same bunch of people who said, "North Korea?  Come on.  A small sliver of land that you can't even see at night 'cause they don't have electricity.  They're so poor, they can't amount to anything.  North Korea, Bush, you're an enemy; Bush, you're Hitler; Bush, you're crazy.  North Korea, axis of evil, screw you, Bush."

 

Observing this reaction of people who have difficulty facing truths they were warned about, but refused to acknowledge for political purposes, illustrates a consistent tendency among liberals. Whereas, eventually, they're always forced to confront problems arising from their own obstinate ideology that never seems to work out as promised because it can't.

 

That mistaken approach to reality arose again yesterday, as reported by Corey Charlton for MailOnline, as follows: “A number of militants have been killed in Islamic State's very first battle with U.S. ground troops after the extremists attempted to overrun an Iraqi military base.

 

“The militants attacked Ein al-Asad military base on Sunday where more than 100 U.S. military support troops are based.

 

“Despite launching the surprise attack just after midnight, ISIS's offensive was swiftly repelled when U.S. troops and F18 jets joined in the skirmish in support of the Iraqi Army.”

 

At the same time, AP’s Lolita C. Baldor reports that Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, signed orders Wednesday for the first group of U.S. troops to go to Iraq as part of the administration's recent decision to deploy 1,500 more American forces to the country. The troops are to advise and train Iraqi forces.”

 

In that regard, the president “reiterated the U.S. commitment to train and assist the Iraqi military, provide weapons and equipment and continue to launch airstrikes against the militants.”

 

But, the most interesting comment came from, the top U.S. commander for the mission in Iraq and Syria, who said on Thursday that, “the next wave of American troops will begin moving into Iraq in a couple of weeks, and cautioned that it will take at least three years to build the capabilities of the Iraqi military.”

 

So, after years of promises, endless speeches and the ignoring of mountains of evidence, the incumbent president’s putting us right back where we were when he took office, except at a much higher coat and in an extremely weaker position. 

 

Which means that, when you combine the current situations concerning the Middle-East and North Korea, and add them to the ridiculous moves toward acceptance of the Castro regime in Cuba, you realize that the US isn’t the only nation the current administration knows nothing about how to deal with whatsoever.  

 

That’s it for today folks.
