Full Title: Sarah Palin obliterates Obama on Syria: “President Obama’s advertised war plan isn’t about protecting civilians”

This is Sarah Palin at her best, taking Obama’s plan to bomb Syria apart piece by piece and obliterating it:

“So we’re bombing Syria because Syria is bombing Syria? And I’m the idiot?” – Sarah Palin

* President Obama wants America involved in Syria’s civil war pitting the antagonistic Assad regime against equally antagonistic Al Qaeda affiliated rebels. But he’s not quite sure which side is doing what, what the ultimate end game is, or even whose side we should be on. Haven’t we learned? WAGs don’t work in war.

* We didn’t intervene when over 100,000 Syrians were tragically slaughtered by various means, but we’ll now intervene to avenge the tragic deaths of over 1,000 Syrians killed by chemical weapons, though according to the White House we’re not actually planning to take out the chemical weapons because doing so would require “too much of a commitment.”

* President Obama wants to do what, exactly? Punish evil acts in the form of a telegraphed air strike on Syria to serve as a deterrent? If our invasion of Iraq wasn’t enough of a deterrent to stop evil men from using chemical weapons on their own people, why do we think this will be?

* The world sympathizes with the plight of civilians tragically caught in the crossfire of this internal conflict. But President Obama’s advertised war plan (which has given Assad enough of a heads-up that he’s reportedly already placing human shields at targeted sites) isn’t about protecting civilians, and it’s not been explained how lobbing U.S. missiles at Syria will help Syrian civilians. Do we really think our actions help either side or stop them from hurting more civilians?

* We have no clear mission in Syria. There’s no explanation of what vital American interests are at stake there today amidst yet another centuries-old internal struggle between violent radical Islamists and a murderous dictatorial regime, and we have no business getting involved anywhere without one. And where’s the legal consent of the people’s representatives? Our allies in Britain have already spoken. They just said no. The American people overwhelmingly agree, and the wisdom of the people must be heeded.

* Our Nobel Peace Prize winning President needs to seek Congressional approval before taking us to war. It’s nonsense to argue that, “Well, Bush did it.” Bull. President Bush received support from both Congress and a coalition of our allies for “his wars,” ironically the same wars Obama says he vehemently opposed because of lack of proof of America’s vital interests being at stake.

* Bottom line is that this is about President Obama saving political face because of his “red line” promise regarding chemical weapons.

* As I said before, if we are dangerously uncertain of the outcome and are led into war by a Commander-in-chief who can’t recognize that this conflict is pitting Islamic extremists against an authoritarian regime with both sides shouting “Allah Akbar” at each other, then let Allah sort it out.

Hanging PICTURES, yes of course. That’s what I will use my piano wire for. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think this is all to get rid of all the muslim leaders
and set the stage for the arrival of the world caliphate Obama.
Hay for all we know he did crawl out of a well somewhere.
Who can prove otherwise?

You and I have dueled before. I believe in taking care of our own first and supporting a Peace through Strength, strong national defense. You want to intervene in every little conflict and play World Cop when the overwhelming majority opposes it.

“Something’s gotta give folks, and I ain’t holding my nose anymore.”

Well, if you think voting for a third party Libertarian is going to fix our nation’s problems you are sadly mistaken. Like you, I am sorely tired of “holding my nose,” but voting for some no-name Libertarian isn’t the answer, although that person might make a good president, and most likely shares most of my values. Voting for a right-wing third party candidate is just what the RATs need to win next year and again in 2016. We have to start taking out the RINOs each election cycle. Look at VA! Cuchinelli is likely to loose to that worthless turd, McAuliffe. One step forward and two steps back. There’s the work that needs to be done. Getting the majority of right of center voters to support a decent candidate, not getting your panties in a wad about a third party and the “need to give the GOPe a message.”

The left dared call her stupid.

Yet she can put fifty one words together in a sentence and make perfect sense.

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt’s Generals:
‘How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?’

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]

“This is why there’s a huge libertarian movement going on this country. In 2016, Republicans are going to run a pro-war neo-con, and Democrats are going to run another tax-and-spend lib. Something’s gotta give folks, and I ain’t holding my nose anymore.”

Interesting you mention that. I just saw a poll for the VA governor’s race. The puke representing the ‘rat faction of the uniparty is winning the polls, but the Libertarian Robert Sarvis (whom I’ve never heard of) is polling 10%.

The uniparty has been doing such a good job of late that they might yet bring about a successful second party.

An epic slap down of Zero!

Thank God for her clarity! I so wish she would run for President or get on ticket with Cruz! Both have the kind of fresh air of clarity that this country is in desperate need of right now.

“And People wonder why Sarah got the Libertarian Party of Alaska’s Endorsement in 2006. She is truly something different, which is why BOTH parties hate her.”

She has a very interesting relationship with the second parties. I seem to recall her husband was a member of the AK independence party at one time. Plus she is on very friendly terms with the Libertarians.

I personally think that she is not going to run for political office again, but she has surprised us before. She could play the role of kingmaker if Rand Paul decides to take a hike from the gop.

Let them serve in the same administration.
I’ll be happy. They’re very close friends and he never fails to give her credit for his election.
He’s a complete gentlemen.

Any combination of those two would thrill my soul and go a long way towards fixing this country. We can’t go rino again! They never fix anything and mostly push the same progressive agendas that are destroying this country.

(Sniff, sniff)

A neo-liberal? I thought they’d all been run off.

Neo-con, neo-liberal, neo-fascist...what’s the difference?
