Securing National Security
A quick post.
…”the United States “is stronger and more secure” when it can deploy both power and the “power of our values, including the rule of law.” This is what Obama said.
This is great for those who believe in this rule of law, however those that present the greatest threat to the U.S. don’t subscribe to this Rule of Law. What we have done is said that we are going to play by a published rulebook….like this is a football game. Hell, it’s more like we’re playing checkers, where one person is holding a gun and the other, us, is holding the rulebook…..”You can’t shoot me, it’s not in the rul”…bang
Do I believe in hurting someone to save hundreds….yes. I would hurt my best friend if it meant saving a hundred lives. The people who we may hurt aren’t friends though, they are the very same persons hurting us.
No matter. In 10 years or less, the battlefield will be in the malls and concerts here at home, not in some far away land. It’s because we are inviting them, with our rules. We can’t stop them until they hurt hundreds or thousands of people first, and we won’t know where to look because well, our rulebook says we can’t find meaningful intelligence by any other means than asking them politely.
Within the first 100 days, and he’s all smurfy
So far we have seen:
Mr Obama not put all that much concentration on what he said he’d concentrate on, the economic problems. If he’d spent an extra hour maybe catching that loophole congress left in there and Treasury pushed wouldn’t have been exploited by AIG. But yes, there are talk shows to think about…priority is looking good for the self serving narcissist. Really though, the headline is Obama Stunned by AIG bonuses…that’s like holding a book and being stunned when someone tells you the ending because your lazy ass won’t read the book. Ahh, never mind, he’s waiting for the movie to come out.
Why hasn’t he made Treasury select a damned staff yet, so it’s not a one-man show?
China and Russia are openly challenging us, and we’re asking Iran for a truce. Next maybe we’ll just nuke Isreal ourselves, and let the old Soviet Republic come back, and try it all over again a different way. This time, lets get soldiers killed through open aggression while we sit back and say, well, they’re just playing. Does this guy sitting in the office even realize that there is a future past today? I don’t think so, he’s got a photo shoot to worry about this weekend, that stuff with Russia and China will eventually blow over, right?
Why has nobody ever commented on the fact that when Mr Obama talks, he only sounds good, but he doesn’t talk specifics, just vague generalities at best. He reminds me of the late 20′s, early 30′s great orator who cast the light of dread and doom by saying everything is crumbling, everyone is in despair, only to follow it up with a motivational speech that has a net weight of him just talking with no solutions.
So far in the first 100 days we’ve only seen someone bound and determined to bring the fight back to American soil. Here we will have even a less of an advantage though, because we have to worry about politicians running campaigns against bad guys, politicians who would rather just give them a chance to be good while they gut us alive. He’s going to release bad guys back into the wild where so far, that’s been an awesome success, though not for us. We’re just sending the next generation of field commanders who will be bringing the fight to us back to their armies. This case has been proven 3 times already in the past 7 months.
There is no perfect solution. Let AIG and the other heads of finance fall, and maybe it’ll hurt the economy worse, maybe not though. While the government and news talks about getting out of debt for your own benefit, the country gets in deeper. You know what debt is? Is the willing transaction of you, the borrower, giving the lender power over your destiny. We’re giving this power to China and whoever else offers it.
Clinton pulled us out of Somalia right after we started gaining the initiative in downtown Mo’g. He pulled us out because the Rangers got their nose bloodied. Obama is going to pull us out right before Iraq is secure, right as we’re almost ready to make a significant difference where the population feels they have the initiative and can fend for themselves. We’re going to dump thousands of troops into Afghanistan, because obviously the Soviets had such great success on the same damned terrain with the same damn folks that it’s obvious we’re going to succeed….actually, we could succeed in Afghanistan if it weren’t for politics and political Generals who are scared to make decisions because if they don’t make the “Perfect” one, someone may die. So we hand the initiative over to the bad guys without even making eye contact, just shuffle our feet away like the skinny kid giving the bully lunch money.
God damned I’m pissed, and more than anything I’m seriously getting more worried. Mr Obama hasn’t even taken the first few months to pretend that he gives a damn, he’s like that bad spouse you marry and starts cheating on you the second day of your marriage. I’m more pissed because people in general are just shrugging and smiling, saying well, He will fix this, I’m not worried. You might as well be doing a turtle dance for rain.
Less that 100 days
This number has two significant meanings. First, and not so important, it’s how long I have left with this degree. Another one follows so it’s not so much a big deal, however I am looking to having a couple easy months of just self study.
The second meaning, and by far more important, is how many days Obama has been in office. Less than 100 days.
And the Dem’s are already complaining that the economy is not fixed. This sounds more like an idiotic comment that Pelosi would make, since it seems that she and those that like her feel that if they want it, it should be done automatically. It’s the liberal movement though, I cannot knock them too hard. They have been brought up this way for two generations now and truly believe they should get whatever they want at the drop of a hat.
I am complaining. I am complaining because it was the Dems who started this whole mess over 12 years ago, by trying to give people just this, whatever they wanted, regardless of any spatial relationship it had to anything else. If you boil it all down to it’s core materials, that is what started this. It took 12 years of greed and ignorance to get here, and now the Speaker is wanting this all to just go away and be fixed. Forget about how we got here, really, we have to forget how we got here because eventually our legacy will be determined on how we helped get us here; instead just make it go away and well, fix it Mr. President. It is Mid March after all, means you’ve had over two months to fix this issue.
Ahh, I envy the homeless right now. They have to worry only about survival for the day. I am very tired of this attitude from all directions that well, it happened yesterday, or last week, and sure, if you want to point fingers it is my fault…but if you just ignore it it will go away.
