Good news for Republicans everywhere. Obama is going to start tinkering with Syria. The headlines 60 days or 6 months from now are already written. Depending on the outcome they pull out one of the following: Obama arms Muslim extremist, or, US weapons turn up in Gaza strip, or, To little to late, or, Any fool could have handled it better, or US pilot taken prisoner. Not only do we get a proxy war, and the war industry gets more business, but the GOP gets an assured calamity to carry into the mid-terms, if not, they will make one up.
If Assad is pushed out, then you have a civil war, which is already brewing in Iraq and parts of Lebanon. This civil war will probably engulf all three countries and flood Jordan and Turkey with more refugees and could even topple them.
While the neighborhood kills part of it's self off and burns up some of it's ammo the Jews can hope for something better, but when it's over the winners will be battle tested and feeling like they can take on the Jews. If the area falls into widespread civil wars it might be a good time to hit Iran while all the neighbors are burning one another's cities they are less likely to mount a fight on Iran's behalf.
On the same general note. Lets cut Egypt off. Stop all foreign aid. And Pakistan.
Beechcraft lost the protest (the Brazilians will make them) on the little trainer/bombers, 20 something of them for 400 million $. Where do they go, Afgan-a-land. What the hell are we doing buying them an airforce, at 20mil a copy, for pissant size aircraft, this is a rip, waste, absurd, it creates only a few US jobs in a straw front in Nevada, all the other jobs are Brazil, and Brazil just got the R&D money to keep selling these war machines to dictators and narco-states. And your paying for it. Stop the money for this, fuck Karzai.
ReplyDeleteI had some time this morning to read USA Today about the "red line" Assad crossed with using - I believe it was serin, on the rebels. Obama has already ruled out a No Fly Zone due to logistics. That is confusing - a carrier in the Med and AF fighters operating out of Incirlik or even Diyabikar would work.
ReplyDeleteThe word is that the support that we give the rebels will be limited to small arms, ammunition, and anti-tank weapons. Aren't there enough AK-47s and RPG-7s over there to do the job? Then, how do you know whom you are giving the shit to?
We armed the Mujuhidden in Afghanstan to the teeth - even stinger missiles to run the Russians out. Charlie Wilson's plan worked good and the vodka loving sons of satan left Afghanistan. Life was good!
Then along came the fucking Taliban, al-Queda, and Osama Bin Laden and the attacks on the US embassies in Africa and then
came 9/11. Darrel, I doubt the morons - make that fucking idiots - at Langley know who the players are in the opposition to Assad.
Add to the mix - 4,500 US troops (got to be some special ops dudes eager for some action in Syria in with that crowd)and F-16s - I imagine at least squadron strenght (24 or more) or wing level - three or more squadrons.
Butt prirates McColloborator and Lindsey Graham are wanting us involved in yet another conflict over there that we have
absolutely no business doing so. We need to get out of Afghanistan - Yes, give Karzai the Embracer's and then cut the money flow.
Pease vote in the mid-term; we need to clean out the barn!
