Two days ago, Obama attended a Democratic fundraiser in Hollywood. As reported in a TMZ article entitled "Gwyneth Paltrow Celebrity Event Sullies Presidency":
"The idiocy of Hollywood was in full bloom Thursday night when Gwyneth Paltrow turned an already-embarrassing Hollywood fundraiser into 'The Dating Game.'
Paltrow -- who hosted the event at her Brentwood home -- gushed as she introduced President Obama, 'You're so handsome that I can't speak properly.'
She then showed utter ignorance about, and contempt for, the Constitution and separation of powers -- the basic tenets of our government -- by saying, 'It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass.'"
And Kerry? He is jetting off tonight to an equally embarrassing fundraiser for Gaza in Cairo.
Is anyone paying attention to the antics of Obama and Kerry? Apparently, The Washington Post is awakening from its slumber. In a blistering editorial entitled "U.S. is complicit as it blames Turkey for the catastrophe in Kobane," WaPo hammers the Obama administration for effectively aiding Syria's monstrous Assad regime while worsening "conditions for his victims in towns held by moderate rebels who, in theory, enjoy U.S. backing." Lambasting Obama's "strategy" (Does he have one?) as "incoherent as well as morally questionable," the editorial says of an emerging catastrophe in Kobani:
"But the White House seems as uninterested as ever in truly helping the moderates. Easier just to blame the Turks."
Remember the Alamo? Perhaps on November 4, American voters will remember Kobani.
Kobani will be remembered by Kurds as their 'Thermopylae', not the Alamo, which I assume is no longer taught in politically correct American schools outside of Texas.
ReplyDeletethe USA media still worries about where to find Syrian 'moderates' to train in Turkey(!), not comprehending that the Kurds ARE the secular nationalists who ARE fighting the fascist caliphate!
Today's news lingo from outside the USA no longer appeasing Turkey by NOT referring to PKK, or their Syrian cousins, as 'terrorists'.
sorry about the double negative.
still digesting the warontherocks granular blogpost about Kobai, but mostly about Anbar. At least I was not surprised this morning by the Anbar call for US boots on the ground.
Turkey has forgotten that everyone despises the Turks,
