Yeah really! Only reason Obummer started bombing ISIS is because his poll numbers were falling every week.

I wonder what America’s most dangerous enemy will try next, since nothing has worked so far. Are we ready for the Ebola version of the border crisis, or does he have something else up his sleeve?

Right---its a tried and true Democrat remedy. The SOB's use military power as a genital spray to cover-up their stinking rears......imagine what a WH Hillary would do protect her rear.

====================================================

AS Freeper MACEMAN INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: then-pres Clinton inevitably pursued his own political advantage at the expense of American interests and national security.

On two occasions, Clinton used military action for the specific purpose of distracting the American public from the fallout of the Lewinsky affair:

On August 20, three days after Clinton finally admitted publicly to the Lewinsky affair, the news media was poised to focus on that day’s grand jury testimony by Monica Lewinsky. That same morning, Clinton personally went on national television to gravely announce his bombing of a Sudanese “chemical weapons factory,” and a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. It was the first time most Americans ever heard the name of Osama bin Laden. The factory bombing in Sudan killed an innocent night watchman, but accomplished little else. It later was proven that the plant was making badly needed pharmaceuticals for people in that poverty-stricken part of the world, but no chemical weapons.

Several months later, the U.S. Center for Nonproliferation Studies, part of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, stated: "...the evidence indicates that the facility had no role whatsoever in chemical weapons development."

Kroll Associates, one of the world's most reputable investigative firms, also confirmed that there was no link in any way between the plant and any terrorist organization.

As for the Afghanistan bombing, it failed to do any damage at all to bin Laden or his organization. Clinton’s action was accurately characterized by George W. Bush when he said right after 9-11: "When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.

Clinton’s pointless and murderous military actions did not make Americans safer that day, although they did destroy an innocent life, and for all the good they did certainly could have been delayed in any case. But they did succeed in diverting media attention from Lewinsky’s grand jury testimony for a 24-hour news cycle, which was the main point. So I guess, they weren’t a total loss.

On December 16, 1998, on the eve of the scheduled House vote on his impeachment, Bill Clinton launched a surprise bombing attack on Baghdad. As justification for this exploit, he cited the urgent threat that Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction posed to America, and the need for immediate action. Almost immediately, the House Democrats held a caucus and emerged calling for a delay in the impeachment proceedings.

Yeah, but the far-left, anti-war crowd is pissed. They are not going public, but they are going ballistic.
