Obama trying to sway war-weary public on Syria
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is hitting the airwaves to try to convince Americans that limited strikes against Syria are needed for the United States’ long-term safety, while Secretary of State John Kerry is vehemently defending the case against President Bashar Assad, saying his denial of chemical weapons use is “contradicted by fact.” SOURCE
It’s not just the fact that Americans are *war weary*, it basically boils down to the fact that the American people don’t believe a word that comes out of Barack Hussein Obama, his *lap dog* John Kerry or anyone else that’s connected to the Obama regime.
Obama is a lot like the little boy that cried *wolf* one time too many; ObamaCare, his continued scandals, one right after the other, his abuse of power, his abuse of the military, his arrogant and narcissist manner, his *All Vacation All the Time* attitude, his obvious ineptitude on the world stage, and so much more, when coupled with the fact that many Americans STILL believe him to be a *closet Muslim*, this *Sell the Syrian Attack* thing is falling on deaf ears.
Americans, even many on the Democratic side of the aisle, have seen through Barack Hussein Obama and have absolutely NO confidence in him as an American President.
It seems most Americans know; these *Syrian Rebels* are nothing more than the Muslim Brotherhood, by whatever name, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, whatever the case may be, these are the same people that attacked the United States of America on Sept. 11, 2001 and Barack Hussein Obama wants to HELP them.
Of course the stories are flying claiming Obama is a liar, and I seriously have NO doubts that he is, Kerry claims that there is *proof* of the al-Assad regime launching these nerve gas attacks against civilians but so far the American public has seen NOTHING that resembles proof.
Stories like this are all over the ‘net; Memo to Obama from Intel officials calls claim about Syrian chemical attack a FRAUD.
Then we see stories like this;
Top Obama aide: “Irrefutable” proof on Syria gas attack lacking
WASHINGTON — The White House asserted Sunday that a “common-sense test” dictates the Syrian government is responsible for a chemical weapons attack that President Barack Obama says demands a U.S. military response.
But Obama’s top aide says the administration lacks “irrefutable, beyond-a-reasonable-doubt evidence” that skeptical Americans, including lawmakers who will start voting on military action this week, are seeking. The Denver Post
Stories like that are all over the ‘net and it IS hurting Obama and Company in their effort to convince anyone that there is a shred of proof. There may be suspicions, but PROOF, irrefutable proof is how you gain a conviction in a court of law and with the American public.
Even that bastion of Left Wing Liberal Lunacy, The Huffington Post has their doubts; Syria Chemical Attack Evidence Leaves Doubts In Public Opinion.
The U.S. Senate and Congress have a decision to make regarding striking Syria. In MY opinion that decision should be an easy one; TELL OBAMA NO! How hard can it be?
I already know, well, unless something has radically changed, I know how my Texas Senators and Texas Congressman will vote. I know that the Congressmen from our surrounding area are voting NO to Obama’s little foray as well.
I also know that if the majority of the Senate and House BOTH tell Obama NO that he will pout like a child and I am fully aware that he may go ahead and order our military to make some sort of strike in Syria in support of *the rebels*. (Muslim Brotherhood)
Should that happen I fully believe that Barack Hussein Obama should face the full wrath of BOTH Houses and full impeachment, removal from office and charges of *high crimes* against the American people!
The letter I sent to both knuckleheaded Senators last week:
“Dear Senator Boxer,
I am corresponding this day in regards to the pending vote for military action in Syria.
Senator Boxer, I am a USN veteran, and the most frightening aspect of my military training was NBC warfare training. The thought of being attacked with a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon was mortifying to me, so the thought of a government using chemical weapons against its own people, (see Anfal operations of Saddam Hussein 1988), is the worst example of human atrocities. IF Assad ordered the use of WMDs against his people, he should go the way of Saddam Hussein; however, there are now reports that the supposed chemical weapons attack against the rebels was nothing more than rebels mishandling chemical weapons given to them by a Saudi prince who is seeking the overthrow of the Assad government.
We do know 15%-25% of the rebels currently fighting the Assad government have aligned themselves with Al Qaeda. If these points are true, we are treading on very thin ice. We also know neither the Assad government nor the Rebel government will be a future ally of the United States. Further, if we interject ourselves unilaterally into another Middle East conflict, a large contingency of countries who have to date remained neutral will join to fight against the US and Israel.
I for one have zero confidence in Secretary of State Kerry, and believe cooler heads should prevail. I am therefore asking you to set aside political affiliations, and vote against any US intervention in the Syrian civil war at this time.
Thank you for your time and service to this country.
Kind regards,…”
I breathlessly await their farcical responses…
“However, there are now reports that the supposed chemical weapons attack against the rebels was nothing more than rebels mishandling chemical weapons given to them by a Saudi prince who is seeking the overthrow of the Assad government.”
Gosharoo. . .perhaps that would answer the question of WHY would Saudi Arabia PAY the United States to attack Syria — ?
What a bunch of fucking MORONS in DC.
BZ
Right on the money, BZ…This bunch of rebels/al CIAda pricks didn’t just decide over a few beers at the pub one night to start a civil war…Find the banker and then the real reason BO wants to whack Assad so badly will be obvious…Follow the money/power trail and don’t believe a single word of ‘media blathering and lies’.. There isn’t much investigative reporting these days, as most news stories come via White House press releases…Yeah, right! Believe what you may, but the check is in the mail.
Ya know, Fred, Barry Obozo refused to release the “il est mort” photographs of Osama bin Laden to the public because they were “too grusome and horrible” for the people to see. However he has no qualms at all about plastering the pictures of dead women and children via CNN all over the world when it serves his majesties purpose. I have got to think, given this SOB’s history and that of the libtarded dimocrats there is more to this than the countries safety at stake here.
Ive never been so sick and disgusted with these D.C. Assholes in my life.
Just when I thought I could not take one more day of Hillary lying through her teeth, along comes lurch.
“many Americans STILL believe him to be a *closet Muslim* ” Fred, right now the Syrian rebels are attacking a Christian town and torturing the Christians while Assad’s forces are trying to come to their aid. Obama IS a Muslim and he is siding with the Muslims over the Christians. He and Samantha Power hate Israel and it would figure he could be doing this to get Assad to hit Israel.
It should be noted that christians are the victims of a pogrom in all muslim dominated countries. The Christian, Jew, Atheist, Agnostic people of the world are not immune from the convert, pay, or die connon of islam. The reaction of our clergy is freightening me. It took a couple of hundred years for Pope Urban to call for a crusade against MUSLIMS. It would seem that noone reads history books anymore, especally our elected representatives.
Even if we believed Obama and company that Assad used chemical weapons, why are we all of a sudden supposed to be wanting to take action because he killed 1,429 with chemicals? There are already over 100,000 dead by other means; why does another 1,429 now outrage us because of their manner of death?
A total dead 1,429 men, women and children? A mere bag of shells as Fred Kramden would say. The Obamacare death panels will do that in a day standing on their heads. Maybe we can send in cruise missals against the HHS and their enforcement arm, the FBI. (In case the NSA is reading this I’m just kidding, honest).
Ah, those Russians: From RT:
There is proof the footage of the alleged chemical attack in Syria was fabricated, Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria, told RT. She says she is about to submit her findings to the UN.
Mother Agnes, a catholic nun, who has been living in Syria for 20 years and has been reporting actively on what has been going on in the war-ravaged country, says she carefully studied the video featuring allegedly victims of the chemical weapons attack in the Syrian village of Guta in August and now questions its authenticity.
In her interview with RT, Mother Agnes doubts so much footage could have been taken in so little time, and asks where parents of the supposedly dead children are. She promises to send her report to the UN.
The nun is indignant with the world media for apparently turning a blind eye to the Latakia massacre by rebel extremists, which left 500 civilians including women and children dead.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has called on the international community to pay attention to revelations made by Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib. http://rt.com/op-edge/mother-chemical-attack-footage-fraud-509/
If what she says is true about the timeline, I would wonder about that also.
Also the number of casualites varies depending on the source. Why is that? And what about this tidbit: “Following the broadcasting of the images of the massacre in Ghouta, distributed by the Free Syrian Army and relayed by US and French services, Alawite families from Latakia have filed a complaint for murder.
(The victims of the CW attack) are in fact children who were abducted by jihadists two weeks before in Alawite villages in the surroundings of Latakia, 200km away from Ghouta. http://www.voltairenet.org/article180130.html
This whole thing is wrong. It is becoming ever more apparent that obama lives in his own reality where he believes that all he has to do is speak and everyone will fall into line. A better example of a clear and present danger to our country would be hard to find.
Would you follow Kerry into a firefight???
I thought not,,, and rest my case.
