The Un-Midas Touch; Everything He Touches Turns to......
Victor Davis Hanson
"Everything that Barack Obama touches seems to turn to dross. Think of it for a minute. He inherited a quiet Iraq (no American combat deaths at all in December 2009 ). Joe Biden bragged of the calm that it would be the administration’s“greatest achievement.” But by pulling out all U.S. peacekeepers — mostly for a 2012 reelection talking point — Obama ensured an ISIS wasteland . He put his promised eye on Afghanistan at last, and we have lost more soldiers there than during the Bush administration and a Taliban victory seems likely after more than a decade of lost American blood and treasure. The message seems to be that it is better for Obama to have his eye off something than on it.

Robin Williams: Incredibly Talented Friend of US Troops, But Suicide is THE Most Selfish Act; Pelosi Donor
Debbie Schlussel
... "Although he was an avowed liberal Democrat who gave a lot to Democrats (especially Nancy Pelosi) and
other leftist causes, Williams spent a lot of time
entertaining the troops. If you look on Google Images, you’ll see
photo after photo of Williams entertaining American troops countless
times and in countless countries, from Kuwait to Baghdad and everywhere else.
Contrast that to Oprah Winfrey, who was asked by the Bush Administration to just
ask visit Afghan girls once and ask them to attend school. She refused.
"Robin Williams was also pro-Israel, and in 2008, he joined a number of celebrities (including Tom Cruise) in wishing Israel a Happy 60th Birthday.
"So, I’ll remember Robin Williams for those good things. But it’s wrong for us to soft-pedal suicide as if the perpetrator bears no responsibility or reason to be judged accordingly."

WARNING: ISIS jihadists are systematically beheading Christian children in Iraq Graphic and terrible images; use discretion before opening this.
Lessons of the War in Gaza
Israel came off well in this faceoff with barbarism, though it can expect more assaults before long.
Daniel Pipes ... "Hamas’s unrelenting barbarism created a rare consensus among Jewish Israelis in favor of victory. This near unanimity both strengthens the government’s hand in dealing with outside powers (Prime Minister Netanyahu admonished the U.S. administration never again to second-guess him) and is likely to move Israeli domestic politics decisively to the right, into the nationalist camp."
Gaza “Civilian Casualty” Count Untrue and in Question ... "Spokesman Captain Eytan Buchman told BBC News that “the UN numbers being reported are, by and by large, based on the Gaza health ministry, a Hamas-run organisation.”
" While jihadists behead non-Muslims and religious minorities en masse, the world continues its obsession with the Jewish state."

Hamas TV: Dress Up Like A Jew And Become A Suicide Bomber
Truth Revolt These are the beloved of Code Pink and campus liberals.
"During the Gaza war, the official television stations of Hamas and the supposedly-moderate Fatah party, which runs the Palestinian Authority, released videos promoting suicide bombings against Israel. The Hamas video suggested the bombers dress up like Orthodox Jews to perform their act of terror, while Fatah recommended turning oneself into a human bomb as an expression of life.
"The Hamas video, which ran at least three times on Al-Aqsa TV, the official Hamas TV network, during July, shows a terrorist putting on a suicide belt and dressing up as the stereotyped, bearded Orthodox Jew before he is led off to kill himself and others."
Detonate The Truth: Liberals Willingly Enable Genocide
KURT SCHLICHTER "Understand this clearly: Liberals are absolutely fine with the genocide in Iraq.
"How do I know? Because they’ve told us. Barack Obama looked into the camera and said he will not send in American ground forces. Of course, everyone knows that only American ground forces, backed by airpower, can stop ISIS. So Obama has made a choice, as have his liberal minions. They have chosen to let the genocide continue.
"Disgraceful. Even Bill Clinton has the moral wherewithal to regret his craven abandonment of the million Rwandans butchered as he dithered."
"But you won’t hear liberals admitting the choice they have made. Instead, you'll hear a lot of nonsense about how the ISIS disaster in Iraq is all the fault of Bush, Halliburton and the Trilateral Commission. Apparently, that's supposed to be an all-purpose excuse to do nothing but allow a few tactically meaningless airstrikes as, right now, men, women and children are being tortured, enslaved, and ethnically cleansed by these jihadist scum.
" We cannot allow liberals to escape the consequences of their conscious decision not to use all sufficient forces to defeat ISIS. They are absolutely willing to allow this genocide to happen, and we need to make sure everyone knows it." ...
People like this need have no fear of western liberals: Jihadist Tweets Pic of Son Holding Decapitated Head
"Terrorist Khaled Sharrouf tweeted a picture of his son holding up the head of a decapitated Syrian soldier with the caption "that's my boy." The boy was raised in the suburbs of Sydney. "
That should have been a boy holding a fish he caught.

There is a knowledgeable concensus on the Obama foreign policy and it ain't pretty
Obama's chickens are coming home to roost
Hillary Spanks Obama For His ‘Failure’ In The Middle East "It’s not even Presidential election season yet and already Lady Hillary is distancing herself from Barack Obama’s foreign policy disasters.
"In an interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Mizz Pantsuits took a shot at her former boss’s failure to take the right side during the Syrian uprising. She said that he should have supported the rebels in their struggle against the government of President Bashar al Assad.
Because he didn’t, she said, we now have ISIS invading Iraq.
"“The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad—there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle—the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton said."
George Will: Obama’s Foreign Policy Is ‘Conceding The Advances That Our Enemies Have Made’
"Will said that he learned three things about the President’s foreign policy this week. First, he said, the President wants a settlement in Iraq where there are no victors and no vanquished.
“ 'Now, ISIL is not in the realm of splittable differences,” Will said. “They cut people’s heads off. They say that the Yazidi have to be exterminated because they’re devil worshipers. It’s very hard to have a ‘no victors/no vanquished’ relationship with people like this.”
"Next, Will noted that the President said that “we have a strategic interest in pushing back ISIL.” But back to where?"
Suppose young Obama immediately gave his lunch money to the school bully every day to get the guy to not bother him?

A Weak Horse Will Not Defeat ISIS
And post-Kennedy Democrats are weak horses.
Nice Deb "... Retired General Thomas McInerney has been saying that we need to [be] hammering ISIS with up to 200 strikes a day. A general consensus has formed that Obama’s actions in Iraq are more of a political solution than a military one.
“ 'It’s clearly very very ineffective to say the least,” Senator John McCain told Fox News, Sunday morning. Some generic Democrat no one’s ever heard of skillfully spouted the talking points the White House supplied him: “I think what has contributed clearly to the situation has not been our presence or lack of presence…” (uh-huh) “It’s been the politics of Maliki. – his alienation of the Sunni community…” Oh, that’s clearly it, Ben Rhodes. (We may as well address the actual person behind these idiotic talking points.)

... "Sick slasher films with lots of blood and gore, screaming, and crying. But these monsters are real. So is the blood and gore, screaming and crying. These monsters can not be placated or negotiated with. They simply need to be stopped – which means eliminating them off the face of the earth."
“Liberal” Is Just A Synonym For “Smug”
Kurt Schlichter " It's astonishing that an ideology which such an unbroken track record of failure has adherents who are so incredibly pleased with themselves." ...
"I guess it's easy to be moral when morality is defined as whatever you need at that moment. Still, it’s annoying to listen to people with such a weird, unearned sense of their own moral superiority. In truth, they are utterly morally illiterate. These are folks who draw parallels between Hamas and Israel when the only parallel between the Israelis and the jihadist degenerates is that they share the habit of breathing oxygen."

Joe Newby "Not that long ago, I said the one difference between Hamas and the Nazis was the native language spoken by members of the two organizations.
"According to a post at Legal Insurrection, it seems supporters of Hamas have decided to recycle the same propaganda used by Hitler’s thugs."

Nazi-Like Posters In Rome Urge Boycott Of Jewish-Owned Shops ...

Warning Signs
... "The irony of the speech is that it was spoken by a man for whom no leader in the Middle East has any respect, putting the Prime Minister of Israel and the Supreme Leader of Iran on the same page together. Add to them the leaders of virtually all other nations. Obama thought he could dictate to Israel and could charm the Iranians to make concessions. He was wrong."
...
"These days, Iran is still playing Obama for a fool while pursuing its quest to build its own nuclear weapons. The Russian Federation has seized the Crimea from Ukraine. Latin American nations are dumping their children into an America that has no real border anymore.
"Since he gave that speech in 2009, the Middle East has seen the rise of the Islamic State stretching from Syria to Iraq. Syria remains embroiled in a civil war. The Palestinians are again attacking Israel. Iran is still intent on building its own nuclear weapons. Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya have removed former dictators and chaos is the order of the day in Libya.
"If you read Barack Obama’s Cairo speech from start to finish, you are likely to conclude that a self-deluded fool gave it, a man determined to avoid confronting the enemies of mankind until an Islamic-inspired genocide required it."
