Obama's Mideast Nightmare
2014-04-05
h/t Sultan Knish
A man sits holding a cup of coffee in a restaurant. He drops the cup and it cracks. Everyone around him berates him for his thoughtless stupidity.

Then a second man enters and after delivering a fine speech on the virtues of making this into the best restaurant that it can be, begins smashing all the cups and then the plates. He overturns the tables, tears down the curtains, breaks the lights, tumbles all the food to the floor and sets the whole place on fire.

The first man was named George. The second man was named Barack.

#10  swksvolFF, you are, I fear, making a common mistake.

Obama and his regime might not be inept. They might actually want the outcomes we're seeing.

If one was trying to destroy the place of the US in the world, ruin its economy and encourage the Islamist barbarians what would one do that is different from Obama?

#9  Inept or stupid is the easy way to explain why his policies are so incomprehendable. Active military aid to destroy the government of Libya with no plan for stability. Arms deals in Libya. Active political and finance support to overthrow the government of Egypt. Active finance and political support for MB political arm to take over control of Egypt. Active support for the arming and financing of MB Egypt military wing and Syria jihadists. Continued absurdity policy with Israel containing leaks or lies about military capabilities and plans.

If this administration is inept, its not because they are doop di doop, it is because they picked players who most Americans would consider monsters and cannibals and did not back them to the hilt. Morsi got left out in the breeze. Team Free Syria was promised weapons and air support but got the bay of pigs treatment (I'm glad we didn't get involved, but I have to wonder how many promises and purse string were being handed around and still so).

#8  You all hated George whilst he was in office

I believe you've confused "hated" with "were disappointed with."

Jackass.

#4  Remember Heinlein's Law:

"Never attribute to malice that which can be more easily explained by stupidity"

Sort of a corollary to Ockham's Razor:

"When presented with a variety of apparently correct answers, the simplest answer is usually the correct one."

Which BTW is why I am a creationist, creation is a much simpler answer to the formation of the universe than the 40.0 million pounds of mathematical formulas used to explain the big bang theory.

#3  ItÂ’s been reported that the Bully Boyz in Syria have been using Obama as a recruitment tool as of late. Their line is heÂ’s actually in cahoots with Pencilneck and just playin em for saps. Can you picture the FSA mucks having to sayÂ…no seriously donÂ’t leaveÂ…Obama's not some clever two-timing commander ...really he's just inept?

#2  four years of Carter led to 12 years or Republicans. Hopefully the math stays consistent and eight years of Obama leads to 24 years of Republicans because we're gonna need it.

We're also gonna need a new batch of Republicans but that's a different problem.

#1  When Bush left office at the end of his second term, the region was mostly stable aside from IranÂ’s nuclear program. By the time Obama had finished his first term, it was in a state of endless war. It is still in a state of war today.

Reads like Obama is the mid-east's nightmare. He is our domestic nightmare as well. The sooner we toss Obama, Jarrett, and Brenner out the better off the country will be. Unfortunately, too many of our voters are ill-informed and distracted by bright, shiny trinkets and baubles.
