September 11th

From a poem written during the fierce battle for Guadalcanal by US Marine Corps Private First Class Vincent Cassidy:

“Does it grieve you, Death,

      that I defy you,

  that I refuse to be taken by you?

Be aforehand warned

   And plan it well,

If you intend my doom to spell,

   For I intend to fight . . .”

And fight we will. 

If anybody doubts that, turn to the words of one of the great heroes of the 20th century, one of the men who saved the civilized world, perhaps the greatest statesman who ever lived, and a man who knew America very well, Sir Winston Churchill.   

In his volume The Grand Alliance, he eloquently describes his reaction on hearing about the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the entry of America into WWII on the side of Britain:

“No American will think it wrong of me if I proclaim that to have the United States at our side was to me the greatest joy.  {. . .} So we had won after all! {. . . }  Silly people, and there were many, not only in enemy countries, might discount the force of the United States.  Some said they were soft, others that they would never be united.  They would fool around at a distance.  They would never come to grips.  They would never stand blood-letting.  Their democracy and system of recurrent elections would paralyse their war effort.  They would be just a vague blur on the horizon to friend or foe.  Now we should see the weakness of this numerous but remote, wealthy, and talkative people.  But I had studied the American Civil War, fought out to the last desperate inch.  American blood flowed in my veins.  I thought of a remark which Edward Grey had made to me more than thirty years before – that the United States is like ‘a gigantic boiler.  Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.’  Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful.”

The Speech Of Contridictions

September 9, 2013:. . . Assad has capability “relative to children,” the president told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, but “he doesn’t have a credible means to threaten the United States.” Assad had previously said that if the U.S. attacks Syria, the U.S. should “expect anything” in retaliation, from the Syrian government and its allies.

 From last night’s address:
BARACK OBAMA: The question now is what the United States of America and the international community is prepared to do about it, because what happened to those people — to those children — is not only a violation of international law, it’s also a danger to our security. Let me explain why.
If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using them. Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield, and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians. [...]
Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used.

"So which one is it, Barry?" Is he a threat or isn't he. Did you ever see any President or administration so f**king incompetent in all your life? "Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake" They certainly are, and I'm looking at you, Mr. Fundamental Change. Take a deep breath everyone. Hey libtard's, exactly just how stupid are you?. Do you enjoy your party treating you like idiots, lying to you like they really don't give a shit what you think, and I use that word sparingly. Exactly what moron raised you idiots that you can't see a lie if it smacked you across the head, and it does every single day. It's mind blowing how stupid you are. O'Dumbass is an idiot. We rational thinking people know that, he's pretending he doesn't know that. He's a muslim, a lover of the muslim brotherhood, and probably al qaeda. Why do you think we're in the position we're in? Al qaeda is asking him, pleading with him I might add, to go ahead and bomb Assad. They need the help. Ooops, Vlad appeared and offered a solution thanks to horse face Kerry. Makes you realize that cow manure has more value than Kerry's words. Such bad timing. Dicktator Wannabe Hussein's credibility and the deterrent factor were lost last year when he blamed the Benghazi attack on a video. Then he promised to find the killers, yet they walk free talking to every reporter in sight. Hey Barry, if he's a "credible threat," why the hell are we not bombing the shit out of him and his minions right now? Oh, I forgot, Lurch's gaffe, I mean "strategery" intervened and saved your ass from actually growing a pair and take military action. You remind me of another dicktator from the 1930's who had "the luck of the Devil." And what battlefield, oh Liar-in-Chief, is it upon which our troops would face attack by chemical weapons? Syria, where you are actually conniving to send them to the aid of your Muslim Brotherhood jihadi friends? You reveal more than you think while you  preach from the podium. I beginning to wonder if you can even lie straight in bed. I've never seen more contradictions in a presidential speech. Never.

So let's review what we heard last night from President Panty Waste. Hmmm lemme see, Barry wants to ally with Al Qaeda and its supporters, but we're in a war on terror against them. But

Quote of the Day:   

"The president’s supporters and publicists in the press know how to package Obama’s weakness. The fear that everyone else in the world smells emanating from him like a wounded animal is really just humility and modesty—fitting attributes for the leader of a superpower that needs to make amends for having meddled so long in the affairs of others. And besides, this talk of strength and weakness is juvenile—the world is not a schoolyard. And so Obama ignored Putin’s slights and held his head high. This revealed to Putin Obama’s real liability, his vanity. Obama always needs to look good. He will embrace defeat so long as he can still imagine himself a handsome princeling. After pushing Obama around for five years, now Putin escorts him out of the Middle East. Here, friend, take my hand. Let me help you to the sidelines...
Putin’s goal is to replace the United States as the regional power broker... What good are American aircraft carriers if you don’t have the will to use them? Putin will use anything he has to win, while Obama is looking for a reason not to fire a few cruise missiles into the Syrian desert. There is absolutely no chance Obama would risk a shooting war with Iran.
....Obama can relax now and imagine that he has finally earned his Nobel Peace Prize and that that sound he hears is the tide of war receding... In fact, it is the sound of American allies around the world—the Poles and Czechs, the Japanese and the South Koreans, the Saudis, Jordanians and Israelis, among others—gnashing their teeth. They now see that they are on their own, and that the word of the United States means nothing." --Lee Smith
