It’s a Mistake For Pres. Obama to Use Fear to Justify a Syria Strike

Yes you have a good point and I hope that at least the U.N. inspectors who should be finished by Saturday, can finish their work. I believe that your President will make the right decision. It took quite some time before he agreed to join NATO in Libya.

That the bad rebels have access to sarin gas is just pure speculation and something the Assad and Russian propaganda machine put out there to stop this kind of attack from the West in the first place. Russia needs a place to park their ships and that is all they care about apart from the profit of supplying arms to Assad. Are we going to take the word of a lying madman who is responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 citizens, more than 7,000 being innocent children?

Pushing for military action seems to be France and Saudi Arabia, and I’m not sure if Cameron will take “No” for a final answer.

It puts your President in a much more difficult position than ever. Like you said in your article, they should wait for the UN inspectors to finish their investigation and have stated their results. .

Why Obama Can’t Be a Magic Genie on Egypt

Hi Assumed, sorry for my late reply it was rather hectic today and I found little time to sit at my computer.

I agree with your thoughts on nuclear weapons in the region and always thought that the Bush War on terror with huge amounts of aid to Pakistan was being funnelled back into the hands of the terrorist so it was a losing battle if their government didn’t keep their side of the deal.

As for Israel’s nukes, they have spent decades denying it and yet don’t want anyone else to have them which I find hypocritical to say the least.

The aid to Egypt will continue after this storm to ensure Israel’s security in the region. It’s complicated but without it the U. S. could be pulled into a conflict just as Israel has been trying to do since learning that Iran might be producing WMDs. Personally I have always thought that Israel takes advantage of the U.S. using blatant blackmail. If you are against anything that their government does, you are labeled anti-Semetic. I think that is growing thin for many international countries as Israel continues to break international laws. The European Union has finally taken a stand a few months ago by refusing anything that is being exported from the illegal settlements.

How nice that your son’s birthday turned out to be so much fun. We tend to remember childhood birthdays into our adulthood. I’m sure he will remember the care and effort you put into his special day.

Assumed, that is a question I often ask myself considering the rudeness and disrespect of the Israeli government, especially this neo-con Netanyahu, but the U.S. has sworn to keep Israel safe from aggression from neighbouring countries by providing the latest military aid to protect itself, so I think when Israel blatantly disrespects the U.S. and International law like with the land grabs and further settlements on Palestinian lands, you should cut the aid to Israel instead.

Basically there is a need for the U.S. to continue diplomatic connections with Arab countries in the ME as you are still dependant on fossil fuels thanks to the GOP lunatics and their “Drill. Baby drill”, so diplomatic relations are vital.

Quite honestly I was very concerned by Morsi’s power grab last year and feared for the moderate Muslims and non Muslims in that country. If Morsi and the MB had been allowed to turn Egypt into another Islamist state, they could have easily overturned the 79′ Peace Treaty with Israel, and like it or not, America by siding with Israel’s outrageous behaviour, now owns the responsibility of helping Israel. It’s not about what they get in return.

The U.S. still has permanent military bases in the ME, in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and also in Turkey.

This is another thing I feared that is happening there now.

Hi Assumed. If I were to be blunt, the aid money is the price of keeping Egypt on semi-friendly terms with Israel. It was decided in 1979 after Sadat who was much more forward thinking than his predecessor, the bullish Nasser, signed a Peace Treaty with Israel at Camp David after the Arab-Israeli War. If they agreed to recognise Israel, the U.S. would help them grow economically. To define it cynically, it’s a bribe to protect American interests in the region, and the interest is Israel.

The Saudis still don’t recognised Israel as a state, so too much Saudi aid could and would prove to be dangerous to Israel’s security.

» Posted By Kalima On August 18, 2013 @ 6:11 pm

Well thought out AdLib and I’m so tired of hearing about “Obama’s failure” in Egypt from RW warmongers and clueless “pudnuts” (Bito’s word) on the noisy and constantly complaining Left. Does providing aid to a country make them your whore?

One of the main reasons for the decades long aid is that Egypt was one of the countries that had recognised Israel as a state in 1979 after the Arab-Israeli War, maybe they can chew on that when they insist, foaming at the mouth that all he has to do is stop the aid. Have these people complaining thought about the impact of yet another government that is hostile to Israel in the region? If only these issues were that simple there would be no need for diplomats because diplomacy would be eliminated. Then every time a country does something we don’t like, we just take our ball and go home.

Before these whiners put the blame on the President, which is ridiculous anyway, they should get off their arses and research the history of Egypt so at least they have a few pesky facts. All it takes is a few clicks of the mouse as there is an abundance of information to be found on Google.

I can’t stand “armchair generals” and am relieved that your President has enough inside details and understanding of the situation, and the quick intelligence to deal with it in a way that won’t damage the hard earned relationship built up with the country. This bullish attitude is what got us into two wars in the first place, and President Obama is NOT George Bush.

He has forcefully condemned the recent killings by the army the same as many other countries have, but for those calling his efforts a failure, it would be wise to remember that Egypt is not bought and payed for. Many people are still anti-U.S. and Egypt is not the 51st state.

Fracking, Droughts and Bottling – The Evaporation of Public Water

I thought this article funny but truthful in light of the numerous anti-fracking protests around the U.K. since the lying Tory Cameron government have claimed that fracking will cure all of the country’s economic woes. Funny really, those woes were caused by their insane austerity policies in the first place, and now they want to destroy the environment for the poorer people too because it’s not enough to cut their benefits and kill them off with privatised healthcare.

Repubs Can Counter Hillary Movies with Films of Their Own

Hi AdLib, absolutely perfect for these degenerates, brilliant theme, and thigh-slapping funny. 😆

Don’t have much time to spare for the computer, but will be back to read it again for another chuckle before my day ends when I hope to put my feet up.

See you soon and thanks as always.

Boston Marathon Bomber and The Tea Party – Peas in a Pod

Well I can think of a few things already. Endangering wildlife. Littering with shell casings, and then there were the threats against the government and those who found his off the wall first video disgusting.

As I said, he’s a real idiot posting that ridiculous video on YouTube because now he really is being watched by the Feds. Straightjacket and Prozac might be the next step for him. What a waste of precious oxygen.

» Posted By Kalima On August 6, 2013 @ 4:51 pm

One arsehole against how many? Roid rage or insanity. For this he should be sacked, he’s a danger to the whole community. If he carries on like this hopefully he will be arrested for something or other soon. I bet he’s being watched.

» Posted By Kalima On August 6, 2013 @ 3:02 pm

Well I think there were only two sentences on that piece of paper and he seemed to have trouble with just reading that. To anyone sane watching who knows the details about the actual UN treaty, the rant and ending of this video was embarrassing and ridiculous. Men like this need a course of oestrogen therapy. He has no idea of how stupid he looked firing off his gun. Yes, Al Qaida would welcome him with open arms and recruit him. A’hole!

A comment on this article along with many ignorant others are worth reading if only just for the denial of so many R. Wingers.

Good Lord kes, absolutely clueless as this treaty has nothing whatsoever to do with gun sales or owning a gun in America. It has to do with what is exported to other countries. So “uck you” too you ignorant moron, and stop taking orders from the criminals in the NSA. Of course the gun manufacturers make money from secret deals to rebels in other counties like trouble spots in Africa.

Domestic terrorism in the making. No facts, no truths just anger for nothing. Sickening.

Boehner’s Got the Worst House on the Block

Hi AdLib. Two stories that prove yet again just how dumb and out of touch the GOP really is about their failings. The comparison is just too ludicrous to take seriously about “The War on Women”. The second one should open everyone’s, well those who can read and think anyway, to the real motives and selfish goals of this mish mash of a rotting party.

Btw, what about Larry “Widestance” and the guy who said that gays should never be allowed to adopt, being photographed returning from his hols with a Rent-a-Boy??

From The Fix by Chris Cillizza

“GOP finds its own ‘War on Women’

“In 2012, Democrats’ constant refrain that the Republican party was in the midst of a “war on women” left the GOP — all the way up to presidential nominee Mitt Romney — exasperated at what they called a gross mischaracterization. Now Republicans are embracing the term as a way of reminding voters of Democratic men who have cheated, sexted, and harassed.

In e-mails, press releases and tweets, the Republican National Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee are highlighting a “war on women” waged by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner (harassment), New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner (sexting), and former New York governor Eliot Spitzer (prostitutes)”.

“House to spend last week before recess voting on bills targeted at White House”

Ok, I have a solution. Someone should propose/write a bill where all members of Congress will have to take a substantial cut in salary, say by half, until they do the people’s work. The work that they were elected and expected to do by taxpayers who pay their wages. If you employ someone who is not doing their job, you either demote them or in most cases, fire them. That should apply to Congress too. Hit them where it hurts the most, in their wallets and give them a small taste of what the rest of America is going through with cuts to benefits and the Sequester. Hold them hostage for a change. Every time they pass a bill that is good for America, they get a small raise. It won’t pass of course, but it would at least cause some embarrassment to most members.

I’ve said it here often, what the Repubs/TP have been doing for the last 5 years in trying to obstruct the president, is a form of treason because they are working against the country and against what the majority of the American people want. How any media or group can openly support this brand of political vandalism and claim that they love America is beyond me. If eyes don’t open to the real motives of this bunch of losers soon, the damage they are causing and have already inflicted on your nation will take decades to put right again. Maybe all you have is your vote, so in 2014 and 2016, make it count, and kick this human trash out on their mean, bony behinds.

Boehner is a dull blade in a drawer full of dull blades, he will pay dearly for his verbal mistakes soon enough.

Eye opening AdLib, and hits close to home because of what has been allowed to happen in the U.K. under the ruthless Tories. I might not live there anymore, but family and friends still do, and as of this year I am a home owner there and pay taxes for the privilege.
