Not Only NO, But Hell NO!
Too Big To Fail” has never been applied to a besieged nation torn apart by sectarian factions, but let’s try it here: Afghanistan’s government recently asked the US for a $537 million bailout to pay its bills, and they’d like it within the next “five to six” days.
“We hope they will pay for us, and we are asking at once,” Alhaj M. Aqa, the director general of the treasury at the Ministry of Finance, told The Washington Post. “They are asking me when I need it, and I told them this week or we will have a problem.”
The United States already throws billions of dollars at countries who for whatever reason, hate us, and Afghanistan is no different. Its probably time they put on their big boy pants and take care of themselves. That goes for every country that has even a “smidgen” of ties to terrorism, including drug cartels.
This gigantic waste of money is infuriating, and it’s the American taxpayer footing the bill.
You Have Elected One Mistake Twice, Don’t Make It Three
It’s Obama’s War, No One Else To Blame
Obama arrogantly stated he was “elected to stop wars, not start them”. That small ball statement along with his smug debate remark about Romneys “80’s” foreign policy and you can see how immature and unprepeared this man was for the office he holds. Now that he has painted himself into this corner…he has no one to blame but himself.
Obama has been running away from Al Qaeda and now it has caught him. He imagines that he can escape with a few air strikes, a few speeches and a pivot to something else, but it won’t be that simple. This is a war that cannot be escaped or avoided, speechified or shrugged off.
Obama chose appeasement. He chose denial. He chose the Arab Spring. He chose the golf course. He chose to ignore the problem.
Now he has a war on his hands. keep reading
A Stark Example….
….of Obama leading from behind.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: This is a man who’s been dragged kicking and screaming to face reality. When ISIS came into western Iraq, and took Fallujah, Obama hardly stirred and around that time is when he was calling them the JV team. Then ISIL seizes Mosul, he begins to stir, but it was not until he got a phone call from the leaders of Kurdistan to say Erbil, the capital, was within range of ISIS and it could fall in a few days, and there were a lot of Americans in Kurdistan, and that’s when Obama began to order air strikes.
And it took until we had the brutal murder, the contemptible murder of the Americans, a sort of throwing down the gauntlet, two Americans with their throats slit, where American public opinion, as you can see in the polls, radically changed from being against air strikes to being heavily in favor that Obama decided to do air strikes. This is a classic example of leading from behind.
Where he waits for public opinion and now it’s the public who is demanding he does something. Americans don’t like to see other Americans killed on television by a prideful enemy like that and our president doing nothing. So I don’t think there’s been a lot of layering here, this is all ad hoc, and he’s running so he can catch up with the crowd.
BRET BAIER: You’re saying barring seeing those videos, his policy would be different?
KRAUTHAMMER: Absolutely. It changed everything, it changed public opinion. And Obama is nothing if not responsive to public opinion. He doesn’t lead here, it’s the public that’s leading.
Tribal Obligations
America has been weakened by being divided. Divided nations are too busy fighting among themselves to put up a strong defense. The world is going to hell because everyone from Putin to ISIS is confident that Americans are too busy fighting over Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, over gay marriage and illegal alien amnesty, to pay much attention to them.
Obama’s tribal politics are dedicated to squelching the open equality of freedom and turning every aspect of life into a subsidized commodity to be dispensed by a central authority on a tribal basis.
That is not America. That is Egypt. That is Saudi Arabia. That is Iraq.

The Steady Decay
“In ten years’ time, there will be no American Dream, any more than there’s a Greek or Portuguese Dream. In twenty, you’ll be living the American Nightmare, with large tracts of the country reduced to the favelas of Latin America, the rich fleeing for Bermuda or New Zealand or wherever on the planet they can buy a little time, and the rest trapped in the impoverished, violent, diseased ruins of utopian vanity.”
— Mark Steyn
The Three Steps
There’s a pattern here if you look closely. This is a tried and true geopolitical strategy.
Step 1: Build up a dictator or extremist group which can then be used to wage proxy wars against opponents. During this stage any crimes committed by these proxies are swept under the rug. [Problem]
Step 2: When these nasty characters have outlived their usefulness, that’s when it’s time to pull out all that dirt from under the rug and start publicizing it 24/7. This obviously works best when the public has no idea how these bad guys came to power.[Reaction]
Step 3: Finally, when the public practically begging for the government to do something, a solution is proposed. Usually the solution involves military intervention, the loss of certain liberties, or both. [Solution]
