Building on a Kernel of Truth
American Thinker ^ | October 5, 2012 | Michael Reagan

Posted on 11/28/2012 3:24:22 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

This summer, friends and I took a cruise in Alaska where the tourist shops often featured the Russian matryoshka dolls.  The dolls originated in Japan but were made popular in Russia around the time of the Russian Revolution, a century ago.  You've seen them -- you pop open an outer doll, and nested inside is another.  The magic of the art is that you keep opening layer after layer, only to find another even smaller doll, until at last the final incarnation is just a kernel in size.  The successive dolls vary from near exact duplicates with hard-to-identify slight variations to entire chess game piece sets, each nested one inside another.  Shoppers pass the various pieces around to their fellow vacationers, amazed at the intricate artwork and comparing the design, shape, and ingenuity with which each piece fits neatly into the next.  Eventually somebody, usually not the same person who began this process, starts trying to put it all back together again, in just the right order.

We are at a similar midway point now.

Generations of invaluable life and treasure have been spent dismantling the hollow but vast "Evil Empires," yet we did not destroy them.  Their vacuous, threatening shells are all around us now, lying askance in the Globalist's Tourista Dream Shop...waiting...

America, like the rest of the world, just watched the spectacular closing scene of yet another act in a drama that has been unfolding for a very long time.  We pause in stunned silence as the curtains close on the four fading visages of our hallowed warrior-poets, handsome and strong.  Their lives were dedicated to writing a new future for the "Mid-East Projects" we are engaged in -- and protecting that future.

Well, you’re certainly loud enough even if there’s not much to be proud of.

How about some valium?

Thanks, Got it.

We need an explicit timeline of who, what, when and where these events and non-events took place, both in country and elsewhere, with sources.

Then we can sort out definitively who did or did not do what, and where the authority lay at any given point in time.

While the latter is pretty much understood, without clear arrows pointing to the one who had the juice and kept it in the can, this is (intentionally, imho) too confusing to get legs with the average schmuck.

The media have conflated and comingled and crisscrossed accounts and timelines and locations to the point where the average person will have trouble keeping straight what happened, much less who was responsible for what in order for any response or rescue attempt to happen.

Keep in mind that this is just this one series of events, not even tying in motive which likely had something to do with gunrunning to the Muslim Brotherhood. (After all, this administration has a track record of running guns to unsavory characters worldwide.)

THAT’S ME .. LOUD AND PROUD!

Nobody forces you to be on this website.
Nobody forces you to read what I write.

And .. since you were not privey to previous conversations regarding this issue .. I was perfectly within my rights as a member of this website to make my point clear .. since there were several who kept trying to muddy the waters of information.

But .. you don’t have to agree with me .. I never require that .. but to insult me is lame.

Oh, I haven’t insulted you. But there’s a few things about all-caps screaming you should probably know.

And I coulda sworn “loud and proud” was a gay enterprise. Example:

Maybe you’re confused.
