Caroline Glick: Wounded...And Dangerous
2013-06-09
Hat tip to Mike Vanderboegh (III)

Ms Glick lays out the case of just how bad the next 42 months could be.

From TFA:
With the Benghazi scandal hounding him, the Syrian civil war and, for the past week, the anti-government protests in Turkey all exposing his incompetence on a daily basis, these Israeli leaders take heart, no doubt in the belief that Obama's freedom to attack us has vastly diminished.

Although this interpretation of events is attractive, and on its face seems reasonable, it is wrong.

And it would be a devastating mistake for Israeli leaders to believe it.

Since he entered office, Obama has responded to every defeat by doubling down and radicalizing.

When in 2009 public sentiment against his plan to nationalize the US healthcare industry was so high that Republican Scott Brown was elected senator from Massachusetts for the sole purpose of blocking Obamacare's passage in the US Senate, Obama did not accept the public's verdict.

Instead he used a technicality to ram the hated legislation through without giving Brown and the Senate the chance to vote it down.

#7  So, Frozen Al, just like a smaller scale version of what the 'Stimulus' did here.

#6  If his plan actually pans out, its champions claim it will increase the PA's GDP by a mind-numbing 50 percent in three years and drop Palestinian unemployment from 21 to 8 percent.

No. The $4 billion will make 4 Palestinian leaders very wealthy.

... and just look how well throwing our taxpayer dollars into "investing" in our own economy.

#4  When Kerry was here last month he unveiled a stunning plan to bring $4 billion in investment funds to the PA. If his plan actually pans out, its champions claim it will increase the PA's GDP by a mind-numbing 50 percent in three years and drop Palestinian unemployment from 21 to 8 percent.

How about two things to ponder: 1. Come clean to the American people regarding scandals and lies to cover up the scandals and 2. Build up the U.S. economy and forget about trying to butter up our enemies. A strong U.S. makes for a better and more prosperous world. The concept is something like: "A good tide raises all ships."

#3  He is equally dangerous if he is wounded or as fit as a Mallee bull. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

#2  Ne, I won't start worrying before his third term.

#1  This is a man who is most dangerous when attacked. And this is a man who is absolutely committed to his ideological agenda. We had better be ready, because if we are not, we won't know what has hit us.

Excellent article and summation.
