Reports from Lebanon state that Assad is shipping his WMDs, including chemical weapons, are back to Iraq, from whence they came prior to the U.S.’ invasion of that country.
Because it took Bush II months to convince his friends in the EU to join in the attack, Saddam Hussein was able to transfer his WMDs to Syria. By the time the “inspectors” arrived on the scene, there were no WMDs to be found, much to the delight of the liberals.
Now Putin and Obungler – and that’s the proper order – are giving Assad a little over a week to tell the world where WMDs remain in Syria.
Some WMDs will be found; almost everyone agrees that Syria has such weapons so failing to find something would seem suspicious.
Meanwhile, Putin is delivering Israel-range missiles to the Syrians – government or rebels, the result will be the same for Israel no matter who ends up with the launch codes.
And, “meanwhile,” Obungler is claiming the U.S.’ threat of an attack on Syria caused Assad to buckle. There may be a job for him at Comedy Central; the entire Muslim middle east thumbed its nose at Obungler, and Israel (one hopes) realizes that it is on its own.
The whole idea of U.S. missiles taking out Syria’s – government or rebels – chemical weapons is ludicrous – at best.
The U.S. lacks the intelligence to know where the weapons are stashed. The U.S. lacks the intelligence to know when the weapons are relocated, and to where.
The bottom line is: The U.S. lacks intelligence in the Muslim world. – and that includes the Muslims in the U.S.
President Faux Pas managed to put himself – and us as well – between a hammer and an anvil/rock and a hard spot by making threats he apparently had no intention of carrying out. Unfortunately, as the chief executive’s reputation goes, so goes the nation or organization over which the chief executive presides, or pretends to preside.
Bush I did almost as much damage to America’s standing among the nations when he failed to finish what he started in Iraq. Bush II, in a slightly less faux pas declaring the war in Iraq over long before the shooting stopped. (Carter, of course, topped them all.)
Indeed, if it were not for peanut farmer, Obungler would win the “worst president in modern times” award hands down. (With Obamacare still in flux, Carter may yet be elevated out of his bottom-most spot.)
With all the spy power – drones, satellites – one would think the weapons shift back to Iraq – and then onward to Iran - could be seen and interdicted. It won’t happen on Obungler’s watch.
Perhaps President Faux Pas is preparing for his post-White House career: using his abundant hot air to send balloons into the sky. For this we are paying $400,000 a year PLUS perks.
