An Unbelievably Small Really Futile and Stupid Gesture
The Obama/Kerry insistence on the insignificance of their proposed attack on Syria reached its logical absurd conclusion yesterday when Kerry described it as “unbelievably small”. What do you do with news that’s already a cartoon? You go to Animal House for “a really futile and stupid gesture”.
The side-splitting must have been too much for Putin. He pounced on Kerry’s “rhetorical point” that Assad could avoid attack by giving up his chemical weapons:
“He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week — turn it over, all of it without delay and allow the full and total accounting. But he isn’t about to do it, and it can’t be done.”
By six o’clock Obama was all over the news shows swapping his red line for a life line from Putin.
Unbelievably Small Update
Bret Stephens wants to know “when did the American way of war go from shock-and-awe to forewarn-and-irritate?”.
Syria Red Line
Who says that President Obama’s words don’t matter. He warned the president of Syria not to gas his own people. A gas attack meant crossing a red line that would trigger a U.S. response. Apparently we’re down with killing 100,000 Syrians by other means.
Anyway, It looks like Assad has jumped the Red Line. Now we have to respond or lose credibility and, according to the polls, the American people have no stomach for another war.
Going it Alone in Syria
Not only that, the British Parliament voted not to help. It’s the first time they’ve denied the Prime Minister a request for military backing since 1782, when Parliament gave up on the American colonies! Maybe Obama should have kept the Churchill bust.
So far our leader says he’ll go ahead without the British, UN, or United States Congress. The French are still in. Freedom Fries any one?
Happy 4th of July
The text in the first panel is from the Declaration of Independence which is read aloud every 4th of July at the National Archives. This year Hillsdale College is promoting readings all over the country.
That’s a good thing because a multitude of new offices have been erected under HHS to enforce Obamacare. Not only that, swarms of IRS agents are coming to harass our people and eat out the their substance under the Orwellian named “Affordable Care Act”.
The young and healthy, who helped sweep Obama into office, are being forced to buy insurance they don’t need in order to bring down costs for the old and sick. Here’s an actual notice from an insurance broker to a young person I know:
Putin on the Ring
At last week’s G-8 Summit in Ireland (no relation to the Gang of Eight summit in Washington) Obama couldn’t interest Putin in his nuclear arms reduction scheme or in dumping blood-soaked Syrian ally Assad. This despite Obama’s post election flexibility.
Putin was also mum about Robert Kraft’s missing Super Bowl ring. The New England Patriot’s owner claims Putin stole it from him.
Mark Steyn speaks up here.
Rumpelstiltskin
Rumpelstiltskin spun gold out of straw. Fed chief alchemist Bernanke spins dollars out of…I have no idea. But Wall Street somehow got the idea that he was thinking of not doing it any more and didn’t like it one bit.
