John Kerry trying to restrain his wind sail (What do you call that thing?)
You can't make this stuff up, Folks. As the Nigerian army launches a major offensive against the terror group Boko Haram (whose major pastime is massacring Christians and blowing up their churches) our secretary of state, John Heinz Kerry, is urging restraint.)

"Mr Kerry said there were "credible allegations" of "gross human rights violations" by the Nigerian military."
Which side are you on, Mr Kerry?
War on terror? With John Kerry at State, Eric Holder at Justice, and Janet Napolitano at DHS. Even our military under Obama calls the Ft Hood massacre "workplace violence". If you read the latest training materials our military and FBI have to train with, you wouldn't know what it is we are fighting. We may as well say we are fighting the Vikings.
"Death to America."
Not only is Kerry on the wrong side, his "restraint" urgings are without significance. It is clear that this administration will still be "gathering the facts" while events pass us by.
ReplyDeleteRussia already has 15 warships in the waters outside Syria. Now what is Obama going to do?
We should have had warships outside Syria and let the Russians worry about whether they wanted to do anything about it.
We are without any influence in the world, just another nation, as Obama had hoped for.
Everybody is equal! Just as Marx preached... the utopian society.
Of course that leaves Russia, China, the Jihadists to fill in the leadership vacuum that Obama created.
"Can't we all just get along?"

Gary, at the moment you are America's worst enemy. As we learned in Vietnam, if soldiers go out into a populated civilian area looking for an elusive enemy, and are given free reign, they will create many more recruits for the enemy, merely because civilians resent their brutal methods. The Nigerian army as far from the best-trained or disciplined in the world either.
ReplyDeleteCountless Vietnamese who didn't know a thing about communism became Viet Cong simply because American planes bombed their village. Similar things aid Boko Haram in its recruitment.
You gotta remember that during his presidential campaign, the Right Honorable Former Senator and current Secretary of State characterized President George W. Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam era as the equivalent of a draft dodger absconding to a foreign country to avoid military service. Didn't work too well for him then.
ReplyDeleteTry telling that to the members of the National Guard/various Reserve components who are fighting and dying today, as well as their families/survivors.
