Jim Miklaszewski Says The Pentagon Is Acting Like Stikes On Syria Is A Done Deal

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News says the Pentagon is acting like strikes on Syria is “a done deal.” On The Morning Joe this morning Miklaszewski said, “officially, President Obama has not yet given the order to launch those attacks, but I can tell you that officials here at the Pentagon are operating as if this is, in fact, a done deal, and they expect attacks as early as perhaps the end of this week or early next week. There are actually, Mika, four guided missile destroyers in the Mediterranean, all within easy range of all the targets that they would want to hit inside Syria. And each one of those guided missile cruisers has 56 of these Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1500 miles and a thousand-pound warhead and a GPS locater that can not only take the missile to a building, but pick the window in which to hit.”

George Will Calls The International Community A Fiction

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

GEORGE WILL:

Our military is rightly leery of making a gesture; they’re not in the gesture business. And they have a feeling that’s what they would be doing. Throwing — lobbing cruise missiles, these standoff weapons, into a country to make us, what, feel or look good? The president on CNN this week said, the use of gas is going to require America’s attention and hopefully the entire international community’s attention. Now, some people believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the Loch Ness Monster, others believe in the international community — it’s a fiction.

Secretary John Kerry Comments On Syria And The Use Of Chemical Weapons

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

I am sure I have heard this same story before, and I don’t remember it ending up so good for our country. Our President is ready to get us engaged in another war, and this time without any Congressional or UN approval. President Obama is ready to lob cruise missiles into Syria based on weak evidence that the Assad regime is guilty of using chemical weapons on his citizens. What makes this even worse is the US is going in backing the Muslin Brotherhood, or the same group of people that are responsible for 9/11. Where are the anti-war protestors? As President Obama is so fond of saying, we need to make some “common sense decisions” here. We need to stay out of this civil war and not be drawn in by possible red flags.

SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY:

What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world. It defies any code of morality. Let me be clear: The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders, by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard it is inexcusable, and despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable.

The meaning of this attack goes beyond the conflict in Syria itself, and that conflict has already brought so much terrible suffering. This is about the large-scale, indiscriminate use of weapons that the civilized world long ago decided must never be used at all – a conviction shared even by countries that agree on little else. There is a clear reason that the world has banned entirely the use of chemical weapons. There is a reason the international community has set a clear standard and why many countries have taken major steps to eradicate these weapons. There is a reason why President Obama has made it such a priority to stop the proliferation of these weapons and lock them down where they do exist. There is a reason why President Obama has made clear to the Assad regime that this international norm cannot be violated without consequences. And there is a reason why no matter what you believe about Syria, all peoples and all nations who believe in the cause of our common humanity must stand up to assure that there is accountability for the use of chemical weapons so that it never happens again.

Judge Jeanine Pirro Says It Looks Like President Obama Is Supporting Fanatical Muslims

Posted on August 18, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

On a recent show Judge Jeanine Pirro ripped President Obama for his current policies in the Middle East. According to Pirro, “George Bush was more popular in the Arab world than you are right now. The truth: your indecisive, unclear, and feckless foreign policy has literally run our relationship with that region into the ground. And here’s the rub – you have been giving billions of our dollars to countries who not only give us nothing in return, but who literally hate our guts.” The Judge asks President Obama, “How can one possibly resolve differences with Islamist fanatics who burn Christian churches, about 50 so far, topple police vehicles, and use women and children as human shields and have as their mantra, “with life, with blood, we sacrifice for Islam. Mr. President, now it looks like you’re supporting fanatical Muslims. And to top it all off, you call on the new Egyptian government to release Morsi, who’s now in jail accused of murder. While you’re at it, why not ask them to release Mubarak, who’s residing at the same jail and they can have a go at it again!?” Pirro goes on to say, “And by the way, why do we even feel the need to make the world safe for democracy? Who the hell put us in charge? Aren’t enough Americans suffering, out of work and losing their homes without having to lose their sons and daughters? What are we even doing in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why are we spilling the blood of young American men and women, in a part of the world where they burn us in effigy? Why are we bringing Americans home in coffins? For what? We want to bring democracy to parts of the world who hate us, who despise us, who want to kill us. People whose life mission is to murder as many innocent Americans as possible. Who are we to tell them what to do? Why do we keep getting into these messes? And, Mr. President, you’re no help. No one believes you or your administration – whether it’s talking about that despicable video from Benghazi, or the “we don’t spy on Americans” claim or that the IRS doesn’t target political enemies. No one respects us. No one fears us. You even get bitch slapped by Russian President Putin after begging him for five weeks to return NSA leaker Edward Snowden.” But the Judge wasn’t finished and added, “I’m sure you’re probably too busy honing your golf game and going to high falutin’ cocktail parties right now. Reports are that you are determined not to allow the chaos and the complete constitutional crisis in the most populous country in the Middle East, our one-time ally, until you showed up to interfere with your vacation. But then again, that’s no surprise. During the Benghazi attack, you went to bed, you never even asked how things were going, and then fired up air force one to fly to a Vegas fundraiser for yourself. And during the Bin Laden raid, when you weren’t being photographed in the Situation Room, you were in a different part of the White House playing cards. And during the Libyan crisis and the Japan earthquake in 2011, you were filling out your NCAA March Madness bracket. And in 2010, you were golfing during the BP oil spill. Wow, you must be a scratch golfer by now! Maybe Tiger gave you a few tips when you last played with him. But it’s your willingness to send our money to those who do nothing but hate us that has the whole world laughing at us.”
That’s a great rant, but stand by for your IRS investigation Judge Pirro.

You and your family deserve the same relief the President recently gave to big businesses by delaying their employer mandate – it’s only fair.

President Obama’s Weekly Address 8/17/2013 The GOP Is Gumming Up Obamacare

Posted on August 18, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

White House: In this week’s address, President Obama said we are on the way to fully implementing the Affordable Care Act and helping millions of Americans. Unfortunately, a group of Republicans in Congress are working to confuse people and are even suggesting they will shut down the government if they cannot shut down the health care law. Health insurance isn’t something to play politics with, and the President will keep working to make sure the law works as it’s supposed to, and he encourages everyone to visit HealthCare.gov to find out more about the law and how to sign up. President Obama says, ” They’re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they’ve been sick – and harming the economy and millions of Americans in the process. And many Republicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly it’ll hurt the country. A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they’ll somehow be sticking it to me. But they’d just be sticking it to you.”

President Obama’s Weekly Address 6/8/2013 Illegal Immigrants Must Go To Back Of The Line For Citizenship

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

In this week’s address, President Obama says that the United States Senate will soon take action to fix our broken immigration system with a commonsense bill, and urges lawmakers to act quickly to pass this bill so that we can continue to live up to our traditions as a nation of laws, and also a nation of immigrants.

The bill before the Senate isn’t perfect. It’s a compromise. Nobody will get everything they want – not Democrats, not Republicans, not me. But it is a bill that’s largely consistent with the principles I’ve repeatedly laid out for commonsense immigration reform.

This bill would continue to strengthen security at our borders, increase criminal penalties against smugglers and traffickers, and hold employers more accountable if they knowingly hire undocumented workers. If enacted, it would represent the most ambitious enforcement plan in recent memory.

This bill would provide a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million individuals who are in this country illegally – a pathway that includes passing a background check, learning English, paying taxes and a penalty, and then going to the back of the line behind everyone who’s playing by the rules and trying to come here legally.

This bill would modernize the legal immigration system so that, alongside training American workers for the jobs of tomorrow, we’re also attracting highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will grow our economy. And so that our people don’t have to wait years before their loved ones are able to join them in this country we love.

Rand Paul Wants To Know If We Entered 1984

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Alan Cosgrove

Rand Paul has put together a video comparing the classic fiction by George Orwell, “1984” to our current administration. Have we become Orwellian? “1984” was published 64 years ago today, and now we have the latest scandal, with the government collecting the phone records of millions of US customers of Verizon under a top secret court order. Thank goodness for the foreign press or we would be clueless on this one.
