Morning Briefing
For September 4, 2013

1. On Syria: Not At This Time
For
two years, President George W. Bush made a public case for an invasion
of Iraq. He built public support, international support, and
congressional support. His administration documented CIA intelligence on
weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein’s personal cheerleading
over 9/11, the dictator attempting to assassinate President George H. W.
Bush after the President had left office, Al Qaeda’s use of Iraq as a
training ground for further attacks on our interests, and then he
explained how this all merged into a real and tangible threat to our
national security interests. The United States and its allies prosecuted
the case before the UN Security Council getting more than 16
resolutions over a decade leading up to Bush’s push.
Despite
his multi-year, multilateral effort to build support, in the aftermath
of the war the Democrats called those two years a “rush to war” and
attacked the large multilateral effort as nonexistent. In 2004, our
present Secretary of State, then a Democratic candidate for President,
went out of his way to insult those countries then aiding the effort in
Iraq.
If what George W. Bush did was a rush to war with a nonexistent coalition, what the hell is this effort to bomb Syria? . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Excuse Me, But We Are Not “Isolationists”
I’ve
about had all I’m going to take from the bouncers of compassion who
tell me and others all day, every day, that if we don’t bomb Syria then
I, we are “isolationists.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Obama Re-enacts Bay of Pigs Invasion
On April 17, 1961 about 1500 Cuban exiles, trained by the CIA landed
at Bahia De Cochinos, Cuba with the goal to overthrow the regime of
Fidel Castro. In English Bahia De Cochinos translates as Bay of Pigs.
The
Bay of Pigs was a hugely irresponsible action not only because it
capitalized upon the enthusiasm of recent exiles and had zero chance of
success under a best case scenario but because of the way it made our
nation look ridiculous and strengthened Castro’s hand. Now we are
looking at the 2013 version . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
