- Obama admits that ISIS has gone global. How about that? The once-declared and derided “JV-team” has decided to skip its senior year of eligibility and go straight past the draft into the big leagues. In a rare visit to the House of War (Pentagon), B. Hussein, congratulated the remaining 28 people left in the armed forces for their dedication and service in uniform before declaring that our country is in a long-term conflict with ISIL. This is truly a rare event as usually the Generals have to rent another golf cart at whatever Barry is playing in order to deliver the Daily Brief. Surrounded by his Joint Chiefs, including the hapless General Dempsey—standing there looking more like Jackie Wright (the bald sidekick from the Bennie Hill show)—Obama laid out his plans for an ultimate victory. I kept waiting for Obama to repeatedly pat Dempsey in rapid tempo on the top of his head.
The administration refrains from calling it ISIS because that would signify that the terror group has grown beyond Iraq and Syria (the Levant). Without directly saying so, the anointed one did admit that the group has its tentacles in many pies. Simply by acknowledging that ISIS is in Libya, he is contradicting his self-imposed restrictive moniker. No one in the press calls him or his “Hey, Spike!” mouthpiece in the press room.
The Apologizer in Chief warned that going it alone (without that 60-member, unnamed coalition) would be akin to playing “Whack-A-Mole” and that the group can be “pushed back.” What the “Commander” in Chief continues to fail to grasp is that no one else is going to even attempt a military solution against this group. Europe has neither the military capability or the economy to confront ISIS. The Middle East “partners” are covertly funding them. No other significant subset of world society is threatened by them (yet), so it is still our problem. We still seem to be the holder and owner of the world police beat nightstick and whistle. It is too bad we are only willing to use the whistle.
Previously, the Field Marshal of Pennsylvania Avenue had vowed to “Disrupt, Defeat, and Dismantle” the terror group. Clearly he sought a catchy sound bite rather than pronounce his resolve to rid the earth of this terror group.
Field Manual 3.09 (an artillery manual) lists these descriptions and definitions:
Deceive: No specific losses to the enemy—basically head fakes. This is in essence what we are already doing. Talking tough with no connected action.
Defeat: The enemy has permanently or temporarily lost the means and will to fight. We have never reached this peak with ISIS.
Delay: Slow the timing or arrival or capability of the enemy to project forces/capabilities. Think: Iran nuclear negotiations.
Destroy: Combat ineffective until reconstituted—30% minimum casualties.
Disrupt: Upset enemy formations/tempo causing them to commit prematurely or in a piecemeal fashion.
Divert: Go/attack someone other than where initially planned. ISIS has been quite effective at doing this tactic to us.
Neutralize: 10% combat losses.
Suppress: 3% losses; a temporary degradation of performance. Force enemy to keep their head down while in-contact forces close and destroy.
Dismantle is something you do to a Lego toy or a swing set in the back yard. It is not a military term. What does one expect, though from a community organizer?
- Ivar Giaever once won the Nobel Prize in 1973 for physics and was an Obama supporter. Now he faces the stripping of his prize and forfeiture/recoupment of his monetary prize for going against the anointed one on his position on climate change.
Global Cooling, which became Global Warming, which became Climate Change is the number one threat to humans that we face, according to the Scientist of All. Giaever chose to publicly disagree. At a meeting of the Lindau Nobel Laureate this month he spoke these words. “I say this to Obama: Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re wrong. Dead wrong.”
The Secret Service, reading a direct threat to B. Hussein by his declaration, immediately tackled Dr. Giaever and whisked him away to an undisclosed location. He has not spoken publicly since.
- Illegal Aliens declare open season on American Citizens. In cities across the nation more and more people are mown down as they toil through their daily lives. In San Francisco, an illegal with seven felony convictions and who had been deported five times previously managed to “find” a gun that had been issued to a government agent, and used it to kill a woman strolling along a pier in front of her father. He was roaming the streets of San Francisco because he knew it was a sanctuary city and he would not be pursued because of his status or deported if caught.
In Laredo Texas, another illegal alien, four times previously deported used a hammer to kill his wife. The assailant wrote a note apologizing for his actions to his own mother, ignoring what pain and suffering he may have caused his wife’s family. In Arizona, a six times deported illegal alien high on marijuana, ran a car into a crowd of people running over a mother and her two children. An illegal alien in Colorado was convicted of second degree murder caused while driving under the influence.
The list is a long one. Over 240 cities in the United States are classified as sanctuary cities. Sadly, these criminals do not go there and stay there. Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens in these cities can be found on Saturday nights at local school gymnasiums as they conduct lotteries to discover who will be killed this week and how.
- Iran accepts delivery of an American W88 nuclear warhead. In a stunning agreement largely yawned at by the world at large, the United States and Iran reached an agreement on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Buried in the agreement was a rider that stated the “US would provide through intermediaries, a working and intact W88 warhead. Iran was forbidden to keep it longer than 30 days at which time it would be trucked to Tel Aviv for detonation. The nuclear talks had been droning on for several months failing to come to any agreement, missing deadline after deadline. The US negotiation team, led by the stalwart fecklessness of John Kerry (Did you know he served in Viet Nam?), and prodded to conclusion by Nobel Peace Prize winner B. Hussein Obama, raised their hands clasped in victory while they danced in circles. So invested in reaching an agreement—any agreement—they allowed the insertion of the weapon transfer knowing that no one would read the agreement before it was signed, that we would have to sign the agreement before we could find out what was in it, and that the general public was more concerned about Caitlyn Jenner and her troubles and that in three days it would all blow over.
