Obama, You Turd, You Are Such A Lying WEASEL

October 13, 2015

This has got to be the most cynical, two-faced, dishonest, cowardly LYING HYPOCRITE in the entire history of the world.  He’s telling us he was always skeptical from the getgo about training and using rebels to fight Islamic State:

“I’ve been skeptical from the get-go about the notion that we were going to effectively create this proxy army inside of Syria,” Obama said in the interview. “My goal has been to try to test the proposition, can we be able to train and equip a moderate opposition that’s willing to fight ISIL?”

SERIOUSLY, YOU PATHOLOGICALLY DISHONEST LYING TURD?

THAT WAS OBAMA’S STRATEGY.  THAT WAS HIS ONLY STRATEGY.

In Obama’s State of the Union speech in January 2014, Obama boasted:

“We’re also supporting a moderate opposition in Syria that can help us in this effort, and assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism. This effort will take time. It will require focus. But we will succeed.”

We go back to September of last year and Obama was still strongly arguing to train rebel fighters in Syria who would fight our war that he didn’t have the courage to fight for us.

Obama Urgently Wants Congress to Vote on Arming Syrian Rebels
Russell Berman

Congress may have to vote on President Obama’s ISIS strategy after all – or at least a part of it.

The president told congressional leaders in a meeting on Tuesday that, according to the White House, “he has the authority he needs” to take on the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. That means he won’t a seek a formal authorization of force from Congress when he addresses the nation on his strategy to defeat ISIS on Wednesday night.

But Obama is now personally lobbying lawmakers to include language in a government funding bill that would allow the military to train and equip Syrian rebels who are fighting ISIS.

A senior administration official confirmed to The Wire on Wednesday that the president was calling members of Congress to secure their support and had dispatched his chief counter-terrorism adviser, Lisa Monaco, to Capitol Hill to brief them in person.

We can document for the official record:

“Over the past few months, world events remind us some things are bigger than politics,” Mr. Obama said. “America is leading the fight to contain Ebola… leading the effort to contain and destroy ISIL.”

Mr. Obama has said repeatedly he does not want to deploy combat troops to fight ISIS, and on Friday, White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice clarified that this principle applies to the administration’s new authorities to assist the Syrian rebels.

“To be clear, as we’ve said repeatedly, our strategy does not involve U.S. troops on the ground in a combat role in either Iraq or Syria, and no U.S. troops will be in Syria as part of the train-and- equip program,” she told reporters. “This program will be hosted outside of Syria in partnership with neighboring countries.”

At the time in his January 2014 State of the Union speech that Obama told us how he was going to win the hellhole that he had allowed to happen in Syria by training and equipping a Syrian resistance, U.S. News and World Report gave Obama a ‘C’ grade for that policy.  Wonder what that grade is now given this epic embarrassing disastrous fail:

Four or five fighters.  That’s our result for a damn $500 MILLION program that WAS Obama’s strategy for Syria.

I recently pointed out what an abject joke and a total disgrace Obama and his foreign policy in Syria (and everywhere ELSE) truly is:

You want to see what Obama has done to “win” the war in Syria?  Some headlines:

Column In Syria: $36 million to train 60 opposition fighters?

A little more than a year ago, President Obama asked Congress for $500 million to train and equip some 15,000 opposition fighters in Syria, arguing that the best way to defeat Islamic State terrorists was to arm local forces.

The war against Islamic State “will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” Obama promised. “Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists.”

Last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter gave Congress a progress report. The training program is up and running, he said, and almost 7,000 Syrians have applied to join — but the total number of fighters trained comes to exactly 60.

Sixty? UCLA has more men on its football roster. That’s “not an impressive number,” Carter acknowledged.

Skeptics instantly did the arithmetic: If that’s all we get for $500 million, it comes to almost $9 million per fighter — and the trainees haven’t even made it onto the battlefield yet.

But if you think THAT’S pathetic, it actually was even WORSE.  ‘Cause, I mean, don’t knock sixty fighters.  Sixty actual fighters would be an impressive achievement for an idiotic, disgraceful pile of human waste like Barack Hussein Obama.  So when the actual facts came out…

Only handful of U.S.-trained Syrian rebels still fighting: general
WASHINGTON  |  By Phil Stewart

Only four or five U.S.-trained Syrian rebels are still fighting in Syria, a top U.S. general told Congress on Wednesday, a stark admission of setbacks to a fledgling military program that critics have already pronounced a failure.

The U.S. military began training in May for up to 5,400 fighters a year, in what was seen as a test of President Barack Obama’s strategy of having local partners combat Islamic State militants and keep U.S. troops off the front lines.

But the program was troubled from the start, with some of the first class of less than 60 fighters coming under attack from al Qaeda’s Syria wing, Nusra Front, in their battlefield debut. Some were captured and killed while others scattered.

This is kind of like Obama’s inane oft-repeated boast that he has a coalition of sixty nations.  Because he has a coalition of sixty nations the way he had 15,000 opposition fighters.  Or even SIXTY fighters, for that matter.  Obama’s “coalition” is as much of a sick joke as his shambles of a foreign policy is.

Obama boasts that his “coalition” has flown nearly 7,000 sorties since the start of Obama’s red line warning fiasco three years ago.  Do you know what a joke that is???  Let me put it into perspective: we flew more than 8,000 sorties IN THE FIRST FIVE DAYS of Operation Desert Storm.

When you compare Obama’s war with actual wars that our leaders wanted to truly make any real difference in, Obama becomes a joke.  We averaged 1,100 sorties a day against Iraq in 1991; under Obama it’s a laughable SEVEN sorties a day.

Then factor in that 75% of Obama’s sorties return with all of their weapons, having dropped no bombs and not having fired a damn SHOT.

Which puts Obama’s airstrikes and his worthless sixty nation coalition that have done NOTHING into the laugh-riot of his 4 or 5 fighters.  Who are undoubtedly dead now that Putin is bombing them.

We know that this THE most dishonest and cynical administration in the history of the republic has engaged in a disinformation campaign and has altered the intelligence provided to them by our professional analysts in order to make it appear Obama isn’t wildly failing.

Obama’s mission against Islamic State is designed to FAIL.  It is designed to appear like he’s doing something when he really is doing NOTHING.

One of Putin’s generals recently ORDERED the United States out of Syria, telling US diplomats, “We launch Syria air strikes in one hour. Stay out of the way.” And Obama meekly complied.

And anybody who wants to think that Obama didn’t obey his ORDERS from Putin eat this: U.S. aircraft are diverting away to avoid Russian aircraft. Russian aircraft are doing what they want.  Obama is bowing down before Putin the way he’s bowed down to every other dictator who didn’t happen to represent the Republican Party in America.

Now we’ve got Obama on the record telling us that he never really believed what he told us on the record nearly two years ago.  Obama did it.  Obama urged the Congress to back his doing it.  Obama said, “It will require focus.  But we WILL succeed” if we did it.  But now the lying, weasel, hypocrite piece of fecal matter is demonically telling his demon-possessed supporters that all those truthful facts that Fox News will report are all lies.

Now we get these weasel-words from our Weasel-in-Chief:

The failed $500 million program to set up a proxy army in Syria was a test, US President Barack Obama told ’60 Minutes’, adding that he had doubts about the project from the start. He also ruled out sending US troops to Syria.

“I’ve been skeptical from the get-go about the notion that we were going to effectively create this proxy army inside of Syria,” Obama said in the interview. “My goal has been to try to test the proposition, can we be able to train and equip a moderate opposition that’s willing to fight ISIL?”

Broadcast Sunday night, Obama’s interview with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft was recorded last Tuesday, days before the administration announced it would stop attempting to train a force of ‘moderate’ militants in Syria.

After spending hundreds of millions of dollars, Washington had only “four or five” fighters to show for the effort. Most of the equipment ended up in jihadist hands as US-trained rebels were captured or deserted without ever facing Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL) in battle.

Obama says it’s all Republicans’ fault. Hell, this is such an epic disaster that he’ll even blame Hillary Clinton:

WASHINGTON — By any measure, President Obama’s effort to train a Syrian opposition army to fight the Islamic State on the ground has been an abysmal failure. The military acknowledged this week that just four or five American-trained fighters are actually fighting.

But the White House says it is not to blame. The finger, it says, should be pointed not at Mr. Obama but at those who pressed him to attempt training Syrian rebels in the first place — a group that, in addition to congressional Republicans, happened to include former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This is like Obama telling America not to be worried about Islamic State because they were just “JayVee” and then denying he’d said what he said.

I wrote prophetically back in September of 2014 when I described Obama’s strategy and guaranteed the universe it would fail.  Listen to what my title was:

‘They’ Underestimated The Threat Of ISIS: Our Liar-in-Chief’s Avoidance Of Personal Responsibility Is Pathological. And Demonic.

I had previously that same September in 2014 wrote another article with this title:

Why Arming The Rebels In Syria Now Is Way Too Little And Way, WAY Too Late

Iran, in a vicious double-slap humiliation of our Coward-in-Chief, just fired ballistic missiles to show the world how they will deliver the nuclear weapons Obama assured them they will soon have and convicted a US journalist the same day.  And they’re doing this before Obama even gives them the $150 billion that they’re going to use to fund terrorism against the United States, her interests and her allies.

This man is an ontological, pathological coward and weakling.  He is a national embarrassment and a disgrace to every single person who ever pledged allegiance to the United States and actually MEANT it.

I keep saying it: every single Democrat who voted for baby-murderer and sodomy-pervert worshiper Barack Hussein Obama will soon be screaming in hell for all eternity.  A trillion trillion years from now you will be screaming the same, visceral, agonized scream of horrifying suffering.  When you voted for Obama you voted for hell.  And you are going to GET the hell you voted for.  You voted for the wrath of God according to Psalm 139 and according to Romans chapter one.  You voted to give Iran nuclear weapons.  You voted to invite Russia and Iran into Syria to assure the world of the Gog-Magog war described in Ezekiel 38-39.  And you’re going to get all of the hell you voted for.  And eternity itself won’t be long enough for you to suffer for what you did in inflicting this national sin on us that will culminate in the coming of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast.

Obama Wishes U.S. Could Be Like China

August 22, 2008

Hot Air jumped all over this stunningly revealing statement from Barack Obama. I figured I might as well pile on:

Everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business you’re starting to think, “Beijing looks like a pretty good option.”

Ed Morrissey had this to say by way of comment:

Well, as long as you forget about the oppressive Communist government and the lack of freedom and the Internet filtering and the re-education camps … China sounds really groovy.

Does Barack Obama understand the nature of the Beijing regime? The reason that the government can afford all of this spending is that they control the means of production and the wealth of the nation. They can confiscate what they want at will and spend it where they like. And in Beijing, they spent it where the cameras would be pointed.

Unfortunately, most of what the cameras see is just a facade, as Dale Franks points out at Q&O:The Chinese infrastructure that so enthralls Obama remains decades behind that of the US.  What infrastructure China manages to build, however, gets its energy from oil and coal, not from wind and solar.  China has become the highest emissions nation in the world and shows no sign of slowing itself down over concerns about anthropogenic climate change.  In fact, the air in Beijing is so bad that outdoor Olympics events almost had to be moved.

Meanwhile, the regime where Obama thinks the world would love to do business maintains itself through brutal oppression.  China blocked access to the Internet for international journalists despite promising to allow full access to reporters for the Games.  They arrested reporters covering peaceful protests.  And these are the actions they took while trying to make themselves look good.

If Obama wants us to build up American infrastructure, he can start by ending the flow of American wealth overseas for energy.  Create hundreds of thousands of jobs by building the American energy infrastructure through drilling in the OCS, ANWR, and interior shale formations.  Lower capital-gains tax rates to encourage more investment and generate more revenues (and jobs).

America needs a President who can see past the facades.  Obama has given every indication of gullibility, first with his pledge to conduct presidential-level diplomacy without preconditions with regimes like Iran, Cuba, and North Korea, and now in declaring China the place to do business.  Obama isn’t at all ready to lead this nation; he’s not even ready to run a business, with thinking like this.

Barack Obama’s statement on China betrays a fundamentally stupid as well as fundamentally amoral understanding of both the economy and the world.
