Worse Than 9/11?
The situation in Iraq is becoming even more complicated as Iran and Syria insert their military power into the mix.
The New York Times
reports, "Iran is
flying unarmed surveillance drones over Iraq from an airfield in Baghdad
and is secretly supplying Iraq with tons of military equipment,
supplies and other assistance, American officials said. Tehran has also
deployed a unit there to intercept communications, the officials
said."
Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss confirms that Iran is "playing in a big
way" in Iraq, competing with the United States for influence over the
Iraqi government. Iran is said to be conducting virtual parallel
missions in Iraq with the United States, though we not working in
concert.
Clearly the idea of working with Iran and its military is troubling for
Americans.
Meanwhile, Iran is supporting the opposite side of the United States in
Syria, where Iran supports the Assad regime. The Assad regime is now
carrying out military strikes in Iraq.
What is all of this leading to? Nowhere good, if not handled properly.
Dick Cheney was on Hannity last night and addressed his recent comments
in which he predicted another attack "far deadlier than [9/11]" within
the decade. Based on ISIS' supposed goals and the comments by its
leader, that feels like a reality now more than ever.
We are seeing the "huge mistake" unravel before our very eyes. Victor
Davis Hanson has a scathing piece today, "Obama's World Disorder." He
lays out this administration's missteps and hypocrisy, and he expresses
his belief that "Americans did not fully appreciate the costly postwar
global order that the United States had established over the last
seventy years." He goes on to say, "Maybe they will start to as they
witness
it vanish." |

Smidgen Of Corruption
Barack Obama told us that he believes there is not a "smidgen of
corruption" related to the IRS targeting of tea party conservatives.
Looks like the public disagrees.
According to the latest Fox News polling,
76% of Americans believe that the government deliberately destroyed
Lois Lerner's emails.
"That suspicion is shared across party lines ... An overwhelming 90
percent of Republicans think the emails were intentionally destroyed, as
do
74 percent of independents and 63 percent of Democrats."
The top official for the National Archives testified this week that the IRS "did not follow the law" in handling Lois Lerner's
emails.
Despite what the president says, there is corruption throughout virtually every part of this scandal. |
