Again Obama is looking for wiggle room for his unscripted big mouth

Again Obama is looking for wiggle room for his unscripted big mouth.  The red line in the sand has turned out to be a trip wire for an IED planted in the oval office, and Obama is stuck in the corner.  He is asking Congress to debate and vote, thereby sharing the blame if the situation really turns sour.  Why should Congress bail him out?
 
I fail to understand what our national security issue that is at stake.  The opposition to Assad is strongly supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and Hezbollah.  All of these groups consider the United States the Great Satan and danced in the streets on 9-11.  What do we owe them? NOTHING! If they win Syria, all native Christians will be killed.  Terrorism will be exported to the United States.
 
McCain and Graham are pandering for Democratic votes to keep their seats.  Fine—do it as a Democrat.  They do not speak for the average Republican or American.  It is time to take a stand.
 
Here is a list of Senators and Representatives.   Please call and state your opposition to United States involvement in the Syrian civil war.

Syrian Rebel Confession vs. US Intelligence: Who Do You Believe?

Syrian Rebel Confession vs. US Intelligence: Who Do You Believe?
 
 
At the moment this is being written, the whole world is poised to see what President Obama will do concerning the situation in Syria and the use of chemical weapons.  Most of the world has warned Obama not to use any military force against the Syrian government and that doing so could result in harsh retaliation.  The British parliament voted not to take any action against the Syrian government because there was no smoking gun evidence against them.

Yet, Obama has continued to strut around and crowed like the only rooster in a hen house.  On Friday, it was revealed that the US claimed to have irrefutable proof that the Syrian government launched the chemical weapons that killed some 1400 civilians.  Our government claims that US spy agencies were monitoring the Syrian government.  The spy agencies supposedly documented the preparation of the chemical weapons, the loading of the chemical weapons into the rockets and then the launching of the rockets onto the civilian citizenry.

This documentation is considered to be part of the key evidence that Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry will use to defend their decision to take military action against the Syrian government for the use of chemical weapons.  They are willing to take ill-advised actions that could lead to World War III and the possible destruction of America.

But how reliable is the US intelligence information that Obama and Kerry are relying on?

On Saturday, a number of sources ran a story that the US supported rebels have taken responsibility for the chemical weapon attack.  According to at least one report, Syrian rebels obtained the chemical weapons with the help of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi Arabian Intelligence Chief.  The rebels mishandled the chemical weapons, resulting it their dispersal and the mass deaths.

So who is telling the truth?  If the rebels are not accepting the blame for the chemical attack, then what does that say for the accuracy of the intelligence supposedly gathered by our spy agencies.  Either the information is blatantly wrong or it is as made up and phony as Barack Obama’s personal background.  This also begs one to ask why he would go to such lengths to fabricate evidence just to go to war against his half-brother’s employer, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Never before has a president so openly been refused by soldiers in America.

Translation to English by Google

U.S. President Barack Obama had a huge blow for mutiny in the U.S. military leadership planned military strike against Syria apparently . The soldiers could not see any strategy of the President - and expressed grave concerns against the action.   Never before has a president so openly been refused by soldiers in America.

The U.S. military refused to U.S. President Barack Obama (here with the Chief of General Staff , Admiral Michael Mullen and Defense Secretary Robert Gates in memory of September 11 ) the following : Obama has gone too far in the fight against terror. His soldiers did not want to go to war , they do not understand. ( Photo: White House )

The surprising over from U.S. President Barack Obama of his plans Syria is apparently due to a massive mutiny in the U.S. Army.

The Washington Post reports that up to the ordinary soldiers could hardly see the benefit of one promoted by Obama military action of the four -star generals.

The Post reports that the soldiers especially lacking a clear strategy , because what would happen after the planned military strikes . Many U.S. soldiers have had bad experiences with the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. First of them heroic goals were promised. But no sooner were the interventions in transition , the troops were sent into always new adventures. In both cases there was no exit strategy. The announcements to withdraw from the battle zones were contradictory and retreated to the length.

In the case of Syria, it is not Obama managed to convince the military sense of a military operation .

So far, the U.S. military has always publicly silent and obey the orders of the military- political leadership. The basis for most applications , it was the president managed to convince the soldiers believe that the particular use of "national security " serve .

Even in the case of Syria, Obama tried this term.

But his own soldiers did not believe him.

Even more embarrassing for Obama : Most of the officers and soldiers have a much clearer view of reality as its president and commander in chief.

So said the retired Lieutenant General Gregory S. Newbold post : " The politicians are naive about the obligations that exist in foreign policy . Many are woefully ignorant about what can achieve a military operation . " Newbold was the leading cadres in the Iraq war . He said that many of his colleagues share his active serious concerns.

An officer who declined to comment anonymously , said: "I can not believe that the president ever takes this step into consideration. In the past 10 years we have been fighting against insurgents . Syria has advanced weapons systems. We would have to fight in a conventional war. "

Already in the past week had Gen. Martin Dempsey, the head of the commander in chief, pointed to the heedlessness of the Obama administration . He told the ABC : " The simple use of weapons , without a detailed strategy on how the insert is completed, probably never leads to the conclusion that we imagine. "

General James Mattis said: " If the Americans actually perform such an operation , then that is a brutal , very, very serious war. "

Another active officer said: " What political end state we want to achieve? I do not know what it is. We say it should not be a regime change . If there is to be punishment - there are other ways to punish someone . "
Pictures like this are circulating on the Internet. There is , however, not to soldiers, but to someone who wears a uniform of the Coast Guard . And it has probably not ran against Syria . (via @ NewsNinja2012 ) )

Many military leaders are also uncertain because of the rapid decay of the anti - Syria coalition leads to new tactical planning : Without the British ( here ) raises a different operation represents the lukewarm support of NATO has also given thought to the military. To rely on France (here) , many seem to be enough. And Turkey is already eyeing at the U.S. military with suspicion. You trust the Minister Erdogan not the way because the ACP is considered by many U.S. elites as Islamist movement that pursues its own agenda (here).

The fickleness of Cyprus , the pressure on Russian made at the last minute difficulties , has also made logistical replanning required - apart from the concerns once (here).

Other officers criticized the half-heartedness of the insert. As planned by Obama , become a military strike on the U.S. allies in the Middle East to give the impression that Americans do not want to seriously defend its interests in the region . The action would appear that rockets are fired , just so that something would be done .

Experienced officers refer in the post that the risk of a military strike is enormous . Just when really in Syria , such as the John Kerry unveiled on Sunday, the poison gas sarin in use, then could have unforeseeable consequences of a military strike. With a cruise missile attack could be more problems created than solved .

Most active soldiers and military officials said explicitly that nothing further submits them , when the political leadership to fall in the back.

More remarkable is the fact that they speak at all , not in the 11th after the September 2001 fall again successfully retrieved a simple reflex patriotism.

The war on terror seems to those who are sent to it into the fire , not to get caught as motivation. Most U.S. soldiers can not understand what sense have the geopolitical Voltes their political leaders . You obviously have no desire to be sent as world police in increasingly remote regions of the world .

The dissent agrees with the assessment of the American population : Only a small minority favored a military strike .

For Obama, it would now be difficult to convince the Congress. Even the deputies face the action more than skeptical . 200 members had signed a petition against the military use .

For the Congress also arises a problem that as the reason for their rejection also called the soldiers : The defense budget has been dramatically reduced because the U.S. budget has gone through decades of uncontrolled debt policy out of hand.

The mutiny of the U.S. Army is a first in American history.

However, the pressure on Obama seems to have grown so large in recent days that he finally pull the ripcord and had to call off the imminent use again .

And so we experience a phenomenon that until recently , many could not imagine : The mighty U.S. President declared war on a country . And his own soldiers say : "Imagine : The president says it is war, and nobody goes to . "
