The POTUS’s ill-timed comments on “Good Morning America” yesterday, that ISIS is being contained, has received considerable blowback, as it should have.
In
response, US Officials have deferred to the French investigation into
what occurred on Friday night in Paris. One of them saying: “'It means
exactly what he said,' the senior official said about Obama's comments.
'Their (ISIS's) momentum in terms of territorial gains in Iraq and Syria
has been contained/halted.”
According to dailymail.co.uk,
the official said, “This is a French counterterrorism investigation and
we are working with French officials to provide any assistance they may
need. When they are able to share information and we, in turn, are able
to share public details, we will do so.'
This
mincing of words and truth avoidance has caused significant numbers of
people to react negatively, one of them Michael Goodwin @nypost.com,
who wrote today: “So we are back to square one again, facing a stronger
and more emboldened enemy. The time has run out for half measures and
kicking the can down the road. The enemy must be destroyed on the
battlefield before there can be any hope of peace.
“If
Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic
crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign. Those are the
only options and it is his duty to decide.”
Unfortunately for Mr. Goodwin, and the rest of us, is that the POTUS has never seemed to care very much
about “the good of humanity.” Unless they're an illegal immigrant or
contributor to his political party.
Then, scrolling around on Drudge this morning I came across an article from Mark Steyn’s column, Steyn on Europe @.steynonline.com that summed up the world’s leadership ignorance and incompetence perfectly, as follows:
“Twenty-four hours ago, I said on the radio apropos the latest campus "safe space" nonsense:
“This is what we're going to be talking about when the mullahs nuke us.
“Almost.
When the Allahu Akbar boys opened fire, Paris was talking about the
climate-change conference due to start later this month, when the
world's leaders will fly in to "solve" a "problem" that doesn't exist
rather than to address the one that does. But don't worry: we already
have a hashtag (#PrayForParis) and doubtless there'll be another
candlelight vigil of weepy tilty-headed wankers. Because as long as we
all advertise how sad and sorrowful we are, who needs to do anything?”
No one could present that any better.
Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.
Apparently,
there was a Democrat debate last night and I certainly don’t know if
anyone bothered to watch it. However, Christopher S. Rugaber and Calvin
Woodward, summed it for the Associated Press in an article containing
several untruths from Bill’s wife, as usual. With a couple from Sanders
too.
The article’s titled, AP FACT CHECK: Clinton on guns; Sanders on wage inequality.
Here’s a link: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_DEM_2016_DEBATE_FACT_CHECK?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-11-14-23-51-34
At this point, since
neither of these candidates have presidential credentials, both
producing unsubstantiated hot air, much of it not even close to factual, it brings up the
ongoing question: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and
Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this?
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
