Obama Could Replace Aides Bruised by a Cascade of Crises

WASHINGTON — One day this month, as the nation shuddered with fears of an Ebola outbreak and American warplanes pounded Sunni militants in Syria, President Obama’s national security adviser, Susan E. Rice, invited a group of foreign policy experts to the White House to hear their views of how the administration was performing.

She was peppered with critiques of the president’s Syria and China policies, as well as the White House’s delays in releasing a national security strategy, a congressionally mandated document that sets out foreign policy goals. On that last point, Ms. Rice had a sardonic reply.

“If we had put it out in February or April or July,” she said, according to two people who were in the room, “it would have been overtaken by events two weeks later, in any one of those months.”

KEYWORDS:
Mr. Kerry is vocal and forceful in internal debates, officials said, and gets credit for putting together the coalition of Arab states that conducted military strikes in Syria. But he often seems out of sync with the White House in his public statements. White House officials joke that he is like the astronaut played by Sandra Bullock in the movie “Gravity,” somersaulting through space, untethered from the White House.

I highly doubt it. Kerry is super connected obviously. He’s there for a reason: He has never believed in America, and that America helping innocents against communism is right. He thinks that letting the communists, muslims, and generally bad people in the world run rampant is okay. But one day, when people like Kerry get their way all that evil will come for us. The destruction of America as it was is his life long goal. Even in Vietnam, the son of a bitch.

Can the world survive a World War with people like Kerry in charge? Idealists who have no real grasp on the real world. That see immorality and evil then think it’s okay to let happen, because “everyone is different, and people have the right to do whatever they want.”

I don’t think so. I think most will fold. Some will fight, and die on their feet. Divine intervention will save this world. Nothing else. I am now sure of that.

Not window dressing. More like window removal. You don’t understand that these people are not incompetent. You believe exactly what they want you to. Because that way, they will get away with it all.

He is there for one reason. Because he is anti-American, anti-reality, anti-God and wants exactly what Obama wants. Which is the removal of America from the world stage as a super power. They don’t believe in greatness, they believe the entire world can be a “fair” place, however it will never be like that. Not with man in charge. Not ever. But they think they can do it. Kerry was like that even in his 20’s, what do you think resonated with him? He tried to stop a just war. He is a traitor. One day, these people will be treated like many other socialists, or they will lead us all to our deaths. Either way, I want it over with.

The only thing that has kept this world alive in the technological era is America. It’s why America is here. Do you know how perfect it was that America has been allowed to thrive so long? Too perfect, too many cases of circumstance. Well our time is up. Guess when it stopped ticking? Right around when Israel became a country.

Do you know what the Muslims, the Chinese, the Russians, the Japanese, Germany, and (almost any country) would have done to this world if it didn’t have American ingenuity, technology, and above all else great men to stop them? Think on that for a moment. America could have conquered this world. But we didn’t, because we have always been free men, that wanted to free the world from tyranny. Well that gap and idea isn’t there anymore, it’s lingering, but it really isn’t there anymore. A veil has been pulled across our eyes. We are no longer free. This world is toast, and soon.

However. There are those that could stop the march to Armageddon. But I don’t understand why none speak up. Where are the great men? The Thomas Jefferson’s of our time? They are out there, but don’t act. What makes this modern age so despicable to me. Thomas Jefferson would walked some of our politicians to the gallows himself alone today or died trying. Where are the great men when the world needs them?

Rice and Obama are so fixed in the “lead from behind” mentality that they can’t conceive of setting goals and pursuing them. No wonder these people are adrift. To say that John Kerry is “untethered from the White House” presumes there is something to be tethered to. Since the White House has no foreign policy goals, what could that be?
