Lessons in futility.

Just cruizin through the Drudge report; Confirmed that things I heard about were actually taking place. Shooting missiles into Libya, Hamas gettin a little off the hook with Israel, O'boy getting his laurels handed to him while on Vaca.

Dunno 'bout y'all, but when I read this shit, the first thought that goes through my head is "Damn, didn't someone warn us about all of this? Like 2000 years ago warned us?" So much crap goin' on that one has to wonder if this isn't what was predicted in the Revelations.

Now there is a part of me that is also looking at in an "educated" (read Liberal defined education or no religious background) and I have to wonder at the sheer stupidity of that blabbermouth that wishes to be "the leader of the free world".
When this country was founded it was with the intent of friendly acquaintances and not unhealthy alliances. GW (not the Bush but Washington) made his stand on that VERY clear. And yet, 235 years later, we have our hand in everybody's business, our taliwhacker in nearly every bush in MENA, and Troops scattered so thinly, the Recruiters are scrambling every Tom, Dick and PFC fresh from the Parade Grounds, in an attempt to fill ANY slot they can. (they have one advantage right now. Low Unemployment. Think it doesn't make a difference?) Now that whole mess with shooting into Libya is pretty stupid in and of itself with that whole "non-intervention" thought in mind. Lets just throw in the fact that we are STILL involved in TWO, not one but TWO wars. Just because Iraq doesn't make the headlines right now doesn't mean we aren't still there 'Locked and cocked'. We may have shuffled some troops from Iraq into Afghanistan but we didn't downscale actual deployments one little bit. Quite the opposite. I am sure there are more than a few that voted for O'boy that are more than a little bit miffed by the failing promise of "Bring the troops home" he made in 2008. (I am sure that they will get over it. The same way I got over him actually getting elected.) So we have the whole two wars thing still rolling, Large amounts of equipment tied up in those two wars, and yabberbutt TOTUS decides to give the OK to fire some hardware WHILE HE IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY ON A 'VACATION' IN A PLACE WHERE EVEN THE SOCIALISTS ARE PROTESTING HIM. ROFLMAO on that one. What a dickhead.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't like war. I was in one, I was close enough to the shit to see things that won't EVER be forgotten. And I was in the shortest war this country fought in the 20th Century. But here is where I think this "Harvard Law Professor" really screwed the pooch: He is firing on an openly Muslim country. While we are fighting in two wars that are filled with Muslim extremists. While MENA is exploding with Protests, and riots fueled by MUSLIM DISCONTENT.

If I ever had any doubt that the MUsLim in Chief were an enemy of the state, he just proved it beyond any shadow of doubt in my book. He was voted as the #1 gunsalesman of 2008, 2009 and 2010 (at least here locally. I would imagine that was pretty much across the board.) So Kudos for that one. (Oh yeah El Presidente, that is what you call an unintended consequence. Ready for another one?) But his current actions spell nothing but pure trouble to those that are already in those areas fighting and only wanting to come home. Preferably in one piece and of soundmind. I think, IMHO, Obama just became the #1 recruiter for the Taliban, AlQueda, The Muslim Brotherhood, and every other little Qu'ran thumping group that has a chip on its shoulder.

Good Job Prez. Hope that little trip to Rio to see 1/2 naked chicas on the beach was worth it. I am hoping that your "attempt" to show a pair of balls (or was it Michelle that gave the go ahead?) was a poorly executed and sad excuse for 'leadership'. Should have listened to Palin: done the no fly zone and let them sort it out on the ground like ALL good toe thumpin rebels and tyrants should do.(if we even had to "DO" anything, this would have been the best Diplomatically)

Heres another "Unintended Consequence" for ya Prez. You have shown the cards you are holding. We know whats on the table since we helped deal that deck long before the USSR folded and left the table. But we didn't know that the only cards you are holding are deuces and wild cards. Not 100% sure, but I would have to say that China and the bankers are holding all the aces and royalty at this point. Dude, Maybe its time to take a fold and step away from the table. I know that the people of this country would understand and the Soldiers and Sailors that are in harms way will breath a heavy sigh of relief. But if you do it, Do it fast, do it stealthily, and do whatever you can to save the soldiers we do have out there. Bring em home.

But you won't do that will you? Nope, you are betting on the muslims to 'do their thing'. Why else would you have made such a blatant enemy move?

Believe me this: I am not the only one that has come to that conclusion. Hell, I may not even be the first to air it. But I am done being silent (cough! Have I been silent? ;P )
