Embarrassed by the British decision not to participate in his hobby war, Obama makes them pay a price

 Even the New York Times is noticing the rudeness of the Obama administration.  Embarrass the One, and you will be punished accordingly.

 "British military chiefs are being ejected from US meetings about Syria in the first direct consequence of David Cameron’s refusal to join military action.

The role of senior British officers based at US Central Command in Tampa, Florida, has been downgraded because they cannot be trusted with high-level intelligence about a conflict with which they are no longer involved, military sources say."

Progressives see the light on the attraction of pointless, small wars.

Boehner will support Obama's call for an attack on Syria

This is what the leader of the Republicans said:

"The use of these weapons has to be responded to and only the United States has the capability and capacity to stop Assad and to warn others around the world that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated," said Boehner after meeting with Obama. "I appreciate the president reaching out to me and my colleagues in the Congress over the last couple of weeks. I also appreciate the president asking the Congress to support him in this action. This is something that the United States as a country needs to do. I'm going to support the president's call for action. I believe my colleagues should support this call for action. We have enemies around the world that need to understand that we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up whether it is necessary."

This, in spite of Obama not coming to congress before launching a war with Libya, and not before he found out he was out there all alone on his call to shoot at the Syrians.

This, in spite of a support level among the American people of something like 9%.

This, in spite of zero support from the United Nations, from the European Union, from England, or any one else but France, and they are even hesitant.

This, in spite of the fact Obama has made no real case for what our strategy is, for what will be our goal, except to say we have to avoid the embarrassment of looking weak, which was solely caused by Obama himself.  And in spite of Obama's refusal to speak to the nation he leads in explanation?

So is blind support what we do the next time Obama puts his foot in his mouth and lead the country down a path it should not go?

Politically, Boehner has no problem giving his arch enemy cover for his stupid foreign adventure?

Boehner needs to be done in any leadership position, right now.

Is the liberal Egyptian media about to out Obama as a full on member of the Muslim Brotherhood?

This comes from Al Jazeera, so take it with a proper grain of salt.

More military personnel speak out.

I should note that no one that I know has verified whether these are legitimate, although some have noted that correctness of the uniform and their insignia, something that fakers easily foul up.

Further, this is the first I have seen since the Vietnam conflict of this level of rebellion.   Obama really is fostering division and damaging morale.

Must be some of that "fundamental transformation" he was promising everyone.

The Canadian press says what our own media is too fearful to explain

Via Canada Free Press:

  "Obama will fly off to a G-20 conference where the other world leaders will no doubt treat him like the witless fool he has proved himself to be time after time. What other president would announce a surge into Afghanistan in 2011 at the same time he announces when the troops would be leaving? What other president has managed to increase Russia’s influence in the Middle East while diminishing our own?

France has offered to hold his coat while he engages the U.S. in an utterly futile military attack on Syria, but the British concluded that they wanted no part of it. The whole of the NATO pact nations have made that plain as well. Obama couldn’t organize a weekend camping trip for a pack of Boy Scouts.

While he makes himself look weak, he is also making the U.S. look weak and that is because we have been weakened…by him. When Clinton did this after U.S. embassies were bombed, we ended up with 9/11. Obama’s reaction to last year’s Benghazi attack was to lie about it.

Looming over everything is a massive $17 trillion debt that is largely the result of incredibly inept decisions Obama made since taking office. The “stimulus” that pour billions into non-existent “shovel ready jobs”, the billions wasted on “renewable energy” companies that promptly went bankrupt, the takeover of General Motors that stiffed its creditors, and, of course, Obamacare.

The damage Obama has done to the U.S. will take the effort of several presidents torepair, assuming that the nation doesn’t implode from its debt and the declining value of the dollar. Obama’s solution is to raise taxes. Kennedy’s and Reagan’s was to lower them and thus speed recovery."

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Safwat Hegazy, top Muslim Brotherhood Imam, who last year said, “Yes, we will be masters of the world, one of these days” has been forced to postpone his dreams of ruling the world through a Caliphate, when he was arrested by Egyptian authorities while hiding in women’s clothes.

"Our capital shall not be Cairo, Mecca, or Medina. It shall be Jerusalem, Allah willing. Our cry shall be: “Millions of martyrs march toward Jerusalem.” Millions of martyrs march toward Jerusalem."

He was going to be a king of the world, but he had to settle for being a queen of the desert.

Honestly, why these hairy bastages think they can get away with impersonating a woman, even in a burka, is beyond reasoning.

Military discipline is breaking down.

This chief petty officer tells it like he feels it.

I'm sure a constitutional crisis won't occur if congress chooses not to grant Obama clearance to shoot at Syria, and he does it anyway.  

Nope.

A military officer's oath of commissioning says,

I ... do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; ...

There is no oath of loyalty or even obedience to the president. I say that for a general officer, from the chairman of the joint chief of staff on down, to commit acts of war against another country that have been actually forbidden by Congress would be one of the grossest violations of Constitutional military duty that can be imagined. That's the second prong of a potential Constitutional crisis.

Git yer foot of the desk, hick!

It's the little things that tell you a lot about someone's quality.

The hand gesture is classic given current events.
