Normally, I would let the post below stand alone all day, but this needs to be addressed and the idiocy and hypocrisy must be spotlighted, so let’s play a quick game of “Spot The Errors”, shall we?

Barack Obama(THHO): “I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. … That’s my judgment as commander in chief. But I’m also the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy. So even though I possess the authority to order military strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress.”

“the national security interests of the United States” – the US has no national security interest in a civil war amongst warring factions in a foreign sovereign nation.

“But I’m also the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.” It’s a constitutional republic, thank you very much, doofus-in-chief.

“even though I possess the authority to order military strikes” – well, with a Declaration of War by Congress, yes, the Commander in Chief would have that authority. Since there has been no Declaration of War that I am aware of (and I think something like that would at least make the local rag, wouldn’t it?) then no, doofus-in-chief, you do NOT have the “authority” to order a military strike.

“I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond” … “I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security” – which is it? Is there a threat, or is there an absence of a threat? Can’t have it both ways, Obama(THHO).

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!

Tweet

Out of 2,996 names, only 1,211 (as of this writing) had tributes written for them. Did you forget to remember the souls lost on September 11, 2001? Out of the 1,211 tributes, many (far too many) had the same author – in other words, one blogger took on more than one victim.

I wrote three new tributes, and re-ran the original – assigned back when you had to sit on a waiting list to see if a name was available for you to write a tribute. This year, many, many people who lost their lives in the Towers, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania were FORGOTTEN.

NEVER FORGET

(in case you haven’t picked up on it, I’m pissed. I’m pissed at all the bloggers out there who couldn’t take the time to remember the ones lost that day. If I have pricked your conscious, if you feel guilty for not remembering, then this post has done it’s job. Because if you are feeling guilty, then I am pissed at YOU. Go to Project 2,996 and sign up – better late than never – but I warn you, next year there better be a waiting list again.)
