Despite Trump Boast, US Staying In Syria

Because there are no positive outcomes from a U.S. withdrawal

Islamic War Adaptation

This new piece examines Daesh/ISIS as it tries to adapt to US successes.

The Continuing Disinformation Campaign By Obama

The top four intelligence and security officials of the Obama Administration were responsible for disasters in Libya and elsewhere and they continue to lie about it.

Excuse-Mongering For Quitting Victory

Obama Administration satraps are determined to cover their own ass about the Obama regime's refusal to go for defeating the international dictatorship in Syria as the full folly of Obama's gutlessness there (and everywhere else, including Afghanistan) becomes all the more graphic.

Israel Does The Right Thing

Israel attacked a chemical weapons base in Syria - another case of Israel doing the right thing for over fifty years now.

Obama Plays Cover Your Ass Again

With the UN addressing Syrian genocides, Obama's refusal to fight against them is now coming back to haunt him, so he plays Cover Your Ass.

Syrian Chemical Weapons And Obama Dishonesty

A new State Department report on Syria's chemical weapons shows anew Obama lied in 2016 to cover up for the enemy.

Israel Took Out Syrian Nuclear Base Circa 2007

Believe It or Not, Syria Could Be In Even Worse Shape

Syria is a bloody mess. Its cities lie in ruins. Its antiquities have been destroyed. And the Syrian leader continues to kill his own people. The death toll may be as high as a half million people. Some 10 million Syrians have been displaced. Reporters working there have described it as hell on earth and the images they've provided support their portrayal.

It's hard to imagine how things could be ghastlier. And yet, if not for a stealth nighttime attack a decade ago, the situation today would almost certainly have been worse. Syria might well have been a young nuclear power.

On Sept. 6, 2007, Israeli fighter jets screamed through the skies of western Syria to drop their payloads on the al-Kibar nuclear facility and end, at least temporarily, the secret nuclear program of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. The buildings that housed Syria's budding nuclear efforts, unknown to the world, had been the focus of a mad, behind-the-scenes diplomatic scramble for several months, as the Israelis tried to enlist U.S. support for the pre-emptive strike.

Syria And Iraq's Chemical Weapons

The "Bush Lied" talking point was never credible, and now it appears some of the N-B-C weaponry Iraq built and then shipped out to avoid discovery is now being used by Syria.

The State Department Knew a Year Ago That Syria Likely Still Had Chemical Weapons

Obama just keeps getting exposed as worse and worse

Despite repeated public pronouncements from President Obama, Susan Rice, and others in the Obama administration that a 2013 deal with Russia and Syria had eliminated Syria's declared chemical weapons program, the evidence from continued attacks increasingly and overwhelmingly contradicts this assertion. As recently as Jan. 16, former national security advisor Susan Rice told NPR in an interview, We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.

Rice's statement is being roundly mocked in light of last week's chemical attack in Idlib province. But a year-old report released by the Obama administration's own State Department, which received little attention at the time, also undermines the claims regarding the success of the 2013 deal. The April 2016 report, titled Compliance With the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction Condition 10(C) Report, was not limited to Syria, but also covered Iran, Iraq, and Russia, which may explain why it was underreported. The report's section on Syria specifically, however, is fairly devastating to the Obama administration's case.

Related to all this is this look by Victor Hanson at the bizarre qualities involved in Syria.

The Media And Assad

The Mainstream Media long pretended the Assads were moderates and reformers - and has been exposed as wrong yet again.

Susan Rice Exposed As Liar About Syria

The US has now launched missiles against Syrian chemical weapon bases - so far a minor (50 missiles) attack - and thus fulfils that it has to clean up a mess enabled by the Obama regime as Susan Rice has been exposed as a liar about Syria's chemical weaponry.

The Endgame In The Middle East

This piece warns about mission creep in Syria. Certainly a legitimate concern, but there is also the reality that actually solcing the problem of Islamo-Arab imperialism requires more than limited missions.

Winning Power Works

Barack Obama believed in the myth of "soft power." Donald Trump is now showing anew Obama was wrong.

Tulsi Gabbard Would Probably Scream McCarthy

What is it about Hawaii that it produces nitwits for Congress? The latest dimbulb Democrat is Congresswench Tulsi Gabbard. She recently went to Syria to grovel before the Assads and especially grovel before Soviet military objectives in the Middle East.

"The simplist way to identify Russian sympathizers is to probe them on the matter of military intervention. They may appear principled in their suspicion toward American force projection but are nowhere near as apprehensive about Russian muscle-flexing - evwen in the same theater of operations......Gabbard's support for Russian objectives in Syria has always been conspicuous."

Realism In Syria

A look at possible options for Donald Trump in Syria.

Obama Insists On Abdicating Responsibility

Barack Obama's pattern has been to ignore the real world and then lie about it. He refuses to act against international enemies even when he feigns acting against them - aka his lines in the sand crossed with impunity by Syria and his continuing appeasement of Iran even as Iran's breaking of its nuclear agreement exposes him as a liar - and does so with such sanctimony that it explains a lot about why Hillary Clinton was rejected.

He spoke at his recent presser about how he couldn't do anything "short of putting large numbers of US troops on the ground uninvited...."  False.   ".....without any international law mandate...." International law doesn't exist.  "....without sufficient support from Congress....." Since when did that stop you from outlawing oil drilling, etc.?  And when he whines about having troops in Afghanistan and Iraq people forget he reintroduced them to both precisely because his underreaction via withdrawal of the troops that were already there vetted Islamo-Arab aggression.

This smug abdication of responsibility continued by denying responsibility about Soviet computer hacking, a lackadaisical attitude even the NY Times went after.

The Massacre Of Syria

The Syrian war has been an unmitigated disaster for the world and "this was a glimpse at a post-American future." And it says a lot about Barack Obama that he couldn't bring himself to stand up to Iran over it.
