The Political Shell Game – Now You See It, Now You Do Not!
By: Julia Sieben / https://www.facebook.com/Patriotladies?fref=ts

Edward Snowden, a 29 year old GED graduate, who attended a few semesters of online college, and one semester at the University of Maryland, has single handedly has taken the Nation’s attention off of the endless list of Political Scandals.  Edward Snowden, a dream come true for Obama and the corrupt cronies of Washington, DC. 

• Barely a whisper has been spoken of IRS targeting Conservative groups, even with the now released results of IRS’s own investigation that they are innocent of all charges, because they looked at a couple liberal groups as well.
• No outrage on the out and out corruption that has been exposed in spending by the EPA, and their man cave; The IRS, and their 40 million in conventions; The IRS refusal to fire those who targeted conservatives, but instead giving out promotions and bonuses of 70 million?
• The AP, once again clamoring to the feet of Jay Carney as he sputters his outrage on China and Russia for refusing to extradite Snowden back to the United States, to be tried and hanged for high acts of treason for espionage.  The AP seems to forget those 100+ records subpoenaed to reveal the publications sources.
• No more mention of illegally wire-tapping emails and phones of Fox newscaster Rosen’s work, home and parents.
• What about Benghazi?  No answers of who called the stand down, or addressing Hillary Clinton’s shameful statement, of “What difference does it make?”
• The nation is silent as billions of pork for special interests was amended at the last moment into the passed Immigration bill.  The bill adds $1.5 billion to President Obama’s failed jobs stimulus, a gift to socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.  It turns the Travel Promotion Act, which was supposed to end in 2015, into a permanent program at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. Prime Las Vegas casino interests, a gift to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.  It makes a range of serious crimes for which U.S. citizens can be arrested and imprisoned including assault and battery, drunk driving and tax fraud “waivable” for illegal immigrants when it comes to their amnesty status. The Bill gives Alaskan “Seafood processing” jobs special status as “shortage occupations,” letting those industries hire low-skilled illegal immigrants to fill “temporary” jobs, a bipartisan favor to Alaska Sens. Mark Begich (Democrat) and Lisa Murkowski (Republican).
• Not to mention the bill passed in Senate does nothing to guarantee any enforcement of border security if DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano deems it not needed.  The only thing the bill does guarantee, is that within 10 years or less 12-20 million Illegal Aliens will be entitled to expanded federal benefits and entitlements and be registered as democratic voters.
• Where is the news about how much we are once again arming our enemies in Syria?  This is again history repeating itself with the armament of Al Qaeda as done in Afghanistan, and later Libya.

Even in the light of what IS known that Snowden exposed, that the NSA is over reaching and using these powers to collect, file, and store, information from all phones calls, emails, photos, messages, and videos, in violation of our 4^th Amendment.  America is silent, as they are hinged on the edges of their seats to watch the cat and mouse game being played internationally with this one young man.

Every scandal has been given a back seat and either written off, or ignored, so that suppositions of what Snowden could have “possibly” given to China and Russia.  The only information we know for fact is that he exposed the violations on the US Citizens.  All other accusations have not been proven to the public or shown, they are all based on what they “THINK” he downloaded or copied.  All has been based on what he could have possibly had access to.
Americans need to wake up and realize that this one man has been a blessing to Obama, and while all eyes are on where is “Waldo”, the real crisis in our country is being ignored.

Jeb Bush: Obama 'Utter and Complete Failure'  By Bill Hoff / Newsmax

 

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, sounding more and more like a presidential candidate in 2016, tore into President Barack Obama, calling his administration "an utter and complete failure."

Bush was the keynote speaker Tuesday night at the Conservative Party of New York State's 51st Annual Dinner in New York City, where he received the Charles M. Edison Memorial Award, named after inventor Thomas Edison's son, a former New Jersey governor and secretary of the Navy.

Also receiving the Charles M. Edison Award Tuesday night was Christopher Ruddy, the founder and CEO of Newsmax Media Inc. Ruddy called the award "an incredible honor" and also praised Bush for his leadership on a host of issues important for conservatives.

The influential third party founded by the late William F. Buckley Jr., and headed by its current Chairman Michael Long, is considered a major stop for presidential candidates, with every Republican candidate seeking its endorsement. The honoring of Bush will continue to fuel speculation the former Florida governor is running in 2016.

During this remarks, Bush didn’t hint at his presidential plans, but he wasted no time jumping into the political fray, chastising the Republican Party for its lackluster performance in last November's elections and slamming Obama for what he called the poor economic state of the nation.

"President Obama has many gifts, but one thing he doesn't seem to understand is basic economics. He has this almost naive view that America's economy is so strong he can do anything to it and nothing bad will happen," Bush said. "You can nationalize healthcare . . . raise taxes and fees, regulate with abandon . . . $1 trillion deficits annually, demonize small-business owners and successful investors — and in Barack Obama's world, it doesn't even leave a mark."

But Bush said those policies had very definitely left their mark, damaging the financial health and the workforce of the United States.

"More than four years after the end of the 2008 recession we're still several million jobs short of where we were. We are more than $6 trillion further in debt. We have 8 million Americans who have given up looking for work," Bush said. "We've had more than four years to see what Barack Obama knows about economics, and the truth is, with all due respect, he is an utter and complete failure."

Bush blamed the GOP for its disastrous results at the polls last fall, with Obama soundly trouncing Mitt Romney.

"We got beat because our brand is tarnished with an ever-changing America. We may believe in our hearts that we represent the best hope for America, and I believe that in my heart, but unfortunately for us, that's not how most Americans saw it,'' Bush said. "Now you're thinking, How could somebody convince a majority of 125 million voters that they are better off having their own economic decisions and healthcare and religious freedoms and financial choices and everything else in their lives managed by a faraway bureaucracy?

"The answer is simple: We didn't make our case all that well, and they did. This is important because the path we're on today is simply a path of decline . . . It's not that we're seeing the decline of the American dream, we're seeing the decline of American dreamers."

Bush said the next presidential election will determine America's future.

"Will America continue to be the best hope for freedom and opportunity on the face of the earth? Or will it go down the path of diminished expectations?" he asked. "Let's be really blunt. President Obama isn't making good choices. On energy, he waffles. On immigration, he hasn't led. On foreign policy, he doesn't lead, even from behind. On the family, he is captive to the special interests of the left.

"Thankfully, we can reverse the bad choices . . .  as easily as the good ones. That's the work of the Conservative Party."

Bush also called for increased focus on helping immigrants. "Immigration is part of our heritage . . . Immigrants are an economic engine of vitality for our country. They make things happen," he said. "We have to accept the fact that our immigration system is completely broke. It does not work . . . We're not enforcing the laws, we're creating distrust. 

"Comprehensive reform should treat immigration as essential for our success as a nation and that immigration policy must be grounded in the rule of law."

Bush spoke of the importance of New York conservatives in the liberal Empire State. "You've proven that even in a state that doesn't often support conservative candidates, your presence, your involvement, your activity, really makes a difference," Bush said.

Then, in a nod to New York City mayoral candidate Joe Lhota, who was sitting nearby at the gala at the Sheraton in midtown Manhattan, Bush quipped, "Mayor, it's great being with you, too!"

Bush also gave an update on his father, former President George H.W. Bush, who has faced serious health issues and hospitalization.

"My dad has recovered from a really bad illness. He was in the ICU . . . I love my dad. He's the greatest man I've ever met. We're incredibly happy he's out of the hospital and doing better each and every day," Bush said. "That's the good news. The bad news is he doesn't have the fawning caregivers of Memorial hospital in Houston, all those beautiful nurses taking care of him. He's got a new caregiver. Her name is Barbara Bush, and she's a lot tougher."

Bush, also the brother of President George W. Bush, was twice elected the governor of Florida, serving from 1999 to 2007. He heads Jeb Bush and Associates, a consulting firm; chairs the Foundation for Excellence in Education and the National Constitution Center; and co-chairs the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.

Although he has made no commitment to seeking the Republican Party's nomination, many political observers see it as his for the asking.

Ruddy also noted in his brief remarks accepting the Edison Award that Bush needs to be considered as the GOP’s choice in 2016 because of his strong, conservative record when he served as Florida’s governor.

"When I think about the Conservative Party, I think about a party that stands for values, and we need more of that, not less of it," Ruddy said.

Ruddy’s Newsmax Media is one of the nation's leading online news media companies and has consistently ranked as one of the country's most trafficked news websites.

The Conservative Party of New York State said in a statement that Bush and Ruddy "are fighting for what's right in the media and in politics and public policy." It added: "Right now liberty is under attack in New York like never before."

By David Alan Coia

  inShare

In a blistering rebuke of the Supreme Court decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, Justice Antonin Scalia said the self-governing power of the people has been eroded.

"Today's opinion aggrandizes the power of the court to pronounce the law," Scalia wrote in the dissenting opinion. It will have the predictable consequence of diminishing the "power of our people to govern themselves," wrote Scalia, who was joined in his dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas and Chief Justice John Roberts, while Justice Samuel Alito wrote a separate dissenting opinion.

Scalia described the "assertion of judicial supremacy over the people’s representatives in Congress and the executive" as "jaw-dropping."

"It envisions a Supreme Court standing (or rather enthroned) at the apex of government, empowered to decide all constitutional questions, always and everywhere 'primary' in its role," said Scalia. "This image of the court would have been unrecognizable to those who wrote and ratified our national charter."

Scalia had particular disdain for fellow Justice Anthony Kennedy's ruling in the 5-4 case, saying it opened the door for a federal law allowing same-sex marriages.

“It takes real cheek for today’s majority to assure us, as it is going out the door, that a constitutional requirement to give formal recognition to same-sex marriage is not at issue here — when what has preceded that assurance is a lecture on how superior the majority’s moral judgment in favor of same-sex marriage is to the Congress’s hateful moral judgment against it,” he wrote.

In another section of his ruling, Scalia said, "To defend traditional marriage is not to condemn, demean, or humiliate those who would prefer other arrangements, any more than to defend the Constitution of the United States is to condemn, demean, or humiliate other constitutions. To hurl such accusations so casually demeans this institution.

"In the majority’s judgment, any resistance to its holding is beyond the pale of reasoned disagreement. To question its high-handed invalidation of a presumptively valid statute is to act (the majority is sure) with the purpose to 'disparage,' 'injure,' 'degrade,' 'demean,' and 'humiliate' our fellow human beings, our fellow citizens, who are homosexual. All that, simply for supporting an Act that did no more than codify an aspect of marriage that had been unquestioned in our society for most of its existence — indeed, had been unquestioned in virtually all societies for virtually all of human history."

The court’s decision takes issue especially with Section 3 of DOMA, which defined marriage on a federal basis as "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife" and the word "spouse" referring "only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."

"DOMA rejects this long-established precept" of states themselves determining the definition of marriage, said the court’s the majority opinion, written by Kennedy.

However, the court’s action goes well beyond merely rejecting a federal definition of marriage, Scalia says.

"By formally declaring anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency, the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition. Henceforth those challengers will lead with this court’s declaration that there is 'no legitimate purpose' served by such a law, and will claim that the traditional definition has the purpose and effect to disparage and to injure the 'personhood and dignity' of same-sex couples.

"The result will be a judicial distortion of our society's debate over marriage — a debate that can seem in need of our clumsy 'help' only to a member of this institution," said the 77-year-old justice.

The decision, he wrote, was not clear cut.

"Some will rejoice in today’s decision, and some will despair at it; that is the nature of a controversy that matters so much to so many. But the Court has cheated both sides, robbing the winners of an honest victory, and the losers of the peace that comes from a fair defeat. We owed both of them better."

The Race Card

By: Michael Reagan / Townhall Columnist

 

Will the Left ever stop playing the race card?

Not in my lifetime, it won't.

The Obama Left in this country acts like we're still living in 1960, when racism was legally, socially and morally sanctioned across the South and elsewhere.

Here's a newsflash, folks. It's 2013. Racism is not extinct and never will be as long as human beings walk the Earth. But despite President Obama's constant efforts to persuade his low-information constituencies otherwise, examples of overt or institutionalized racism are harder to find in America today than a rotary pay phone or a Studebaker.

Of course, this reality doesn't matter a bit to the Obama Left. It still sees racism everywhere it looks -- and it looks for it everywhere.

Why? Because the left knows playing the race card is guaranteed to get them votes and saturated coverage from the friendly liberal media.

Sadly, dealing the race card works. It doesn't matter if the issue involves racist words uttered years ago by Food Network star Paula Deen or the latest U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Deen is the latest celebrity who's been slapped with the race card. The 66-year-old product of the Jim Crow South, whose food and restaurant empire reportedly made her $17 million in 2012, is taking a serious financial hit not for something racist she blurted on her TV show, and not for anything she had been secretly recorded saying in private.

Deen's been sacked by the Food Network and dumped by one of her biggest sponsors simply because she was honest and admitted in a deposition in a discrimination suit that she had used the N-word privately in her past.

The N-word was once heard in every corner of white America. We're a better country because it's so rarely heard today -- unless you listen to rap or watch bad Quentin Tarantino movies.

If merely ever speaking the N-word in your lifetime is cause for losing your job today, then kiss half of Congress and the news media goodbye.

Crying racism works -- President Obama knows this political truth like he knows the back nine at Andrews Air Force Base. He immediately slapped the race card down on the table Tuesday when he heard about the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to gut a key part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The act was needed 48 years ago. That's when Democrats in Southern states were using dirty tactics to deny black citizens the vote and Congress decided the best way to prevent it was to make states get federal approval to change their voting laws.

But now the voting rights law is obsolete. Black voters are not being denied the vote because of their race, but that reality didn't enter into the president's cynical political calculus.

Before MSNBC's Obama echo chamber could decry the high court's 5-4 decision, he pronounced he was "deeply disappointed" and called on Congress to pass a new law to fix a problem that he knows no longer exists.

Please, BO, spare us the BS.

You were "deeply disappointed"? No you weren't. You were playing your racial card game. I challenge you to show us one instance in one state where the federal voting rights law is still needed.

You can't, Mr. President. So put your race card away. Put it back where it belongs -- at the bottom of your deck.

Demography Doesn't Threaten Jewish State

By: Jeff Jacoby / Townhall Columnist

 

 

Israel is "running out of time," Secretary of State John Kerry told the American Jewish Committee in Washington this month. A two-state solution to the Palestinian conflict must be reached soon or "the insidious campaign to de-legitimize Israel will only gain steam," he warned. "Israel will be left to choose between being a Jewish state or a democratic state, but it will not be able to fulfill the founders' visions of being both at once."

It's an old refrain, erroneous but popular: Israel must make peace with the Palestinians — "peace" being defined as the creation of a 22nd Arab state — before high Arab birthrates turn the Jews into a minority in their own land.

In Jerusalem a few months ago, President Obama echoed the same claim.

"Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine."

This so-called "demographic argument" may sound compelling, even ominous. But it rests on an obsolete stereotype of Arab women as baby mills, outbreeding their Jewish sisters at such a pace that it is only a matter of time before Jews are numerically overwhelmed on the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.

In the 1960s, when the fertility rate for Israeli Arabs (9.2 births per woman) soared far above that of Israeli Jews (3.4 births per woman), that demographic challenge certainly seemed plausible. Yasser Arafat liked to say that the ultimate weapon in his arsenal against the Jewish state was "the womb of the Arab woman." The Palestinian Authority has always understood the propaganda value of population data. As the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics began its first census in the West Bank and Gaza in 1997, the bureau's director, Hassan Abu Libdeh, assured the New York Times that the results would amount to nothing less than "a civil intifada." In 2005, the bureau predicted that Jews would be a minority in "historic Palestine" (i.e., west of the Jordan River) by 2010. Now it says the tipping point will come by 2020.

Don't count on it.

Arafat's boast notwithstanding, Palestinian women, like women throughout the Muslim world, are bearing far fewer children than they used to. Within Israel proper, the birth rate among Muslims has trended steadily downward and stands now at 3.5 children per woman. It is even lower for Palestinians in the West Bank — just 2.91, according to the CIA Factbook. In a 2012 survey by the Population Reference Bureau of family planning in the Arab world, 72 percent of married Palestinian women (ages 15 through 49) said they preferred to avoid a pregnancy. That was typical of the modern Middle East: The same survey showed most Jordanians (71 percent), Egyptians (69 percent), and Syrians (68 percent) felt the same way.

But while Palestinian birth rates have dramatically declined, Jewish birth rates in Israel have been heading up. Israel now has the highest fertility level of any modern industrialized nation. The fertility gap between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs, a yawning 5.8 in the 1960s, is just 0.5 today. Defying longstanding conventional wisdom, writes former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger, it is Israel's Jewish population that is undergoing a remarkable surge, rising from about 80,000 per year in 1995 to 130,000 in 2012. (The annual number of Israeli Arab births has held steady at between 35,000 and 40,000).

It is easy to get tangled in debates over the statistics — Ettinger led a detailed demographic study that exposed serious flaws in previous projections — but the bottom line is that demography, far from being a looming liability for Israel, is a strategic asset. The 6.3 million Jews living in Israel and the West Bank represent 66 percent of the area's population (not including Gaza, which Israel entirely relinquished to the Palestinian Authority in 2005). "Anyone suggesting that Jews are doomed to become a minority west of the Jordan River is either dramatically mistaken or outrageously misleading," Ettinger argues.

Is the "peace process" is worth pursuing? Would a two-state solution end the conflict? These demographic trends can't answer such questions. What they can do is remove the artificial pressure on Israel to do something – anything – before the sword of Damocles falls. And maybe, just maybe, they can open a few eyes among those who have been waiting, like Arafat, for "the womb of the Arab woman" to put an end to the Jewish state. Israel, now home to nearly half of the world's Jews, is a permanent fact of life in the Middle East. Any genuine peace process must start by accepting that reality.

If only...sigh...

“Immigration” Bill – About Amnesty or ELIGIBILITY?? By Craig Andresen / The National Patriot

 

If you don’t think there’s anything to the whole Obama fraudulent birth certificate thing…

Think again.

If you don’t think he’s terrified of the truth coming out via the Sheriff Joe Cold Case Posse and Mike Zullo’s investigation…

THINK AGAIN!!!!!

This Dictator and his band of socialist leg humpers are DESPERATE for a solution and they are trying to rush through legislation to cover his eligibility and other personal issues related to it.

Friends and Patriots…That piece of legislation is cleverly hidden in one of todays most watched issues.

It’s called…

IMMIGRATION REFORM!!!

Socialists want to render Obama’s ILLEGAL activities, his forged birth certificate, his bogus social security card and his fraudulent selective service registration as well as his Indonesian citizenship null and void.

Those “republicans” supporting this Senate Immigration Reform bill are desperately trying to avoid a Constitutional crisis in the hopes of never having to grow a set of balls.

 

Really???

YES REALLY!!!!!

It’s all there. Contained within the 1000 page immigration bill. Buried DEEP within it.

Obama’s exoneration.

What in the HELL am I talking about???

Well…

In the immigration bill is language which would DECRIMINALIZE…

‘Falsely representing or knowingly using a Social Security Number obtained with false information’

‘Falsely claiming citizenship on Form I-9′

‘Knowingly altering a Social Security Card’

‘Document fraud to prove eligibility for employment’

HELLO?????

Oh yes, this is all meant for those 11 million ILLEGAL ALIENS already residing in the United States as part of the AMNESTY provisions

…

OBAMA…IS…ONE OF THOSE 11 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!!!!

Obama had to be an Indonesian citizen to attend school there as a boy and, he NEVER repatriated.

He is STILL an Indonesian citizen meaning that he is in THIS country ILLEGALLY.

Whether he KNOWINGLY or UNKNOWINGLY is using a SOCIAL SECURITY card issued to a CONNECTICUT man in 1977…Under the provisions of the IMMIGRATION REFORM bill, He would NOT be held to account for it.

As Obama’s Birth Certificate, the one he had posted on the white house website as being his OFFICIAL birth certificate has been proven to be a FRAUD…Under the provisions of the IMMIGRATION BILL…HE WOULD NOT BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR IT!!!

Falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen?

UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE IMMIGRATION BILL…OBAMA WOULD NOT BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR IT!!!!!!

Are you getting the picture here?

ALL of Obama’s fraudulent and created out of thin air past would be…DECRIMINALIZED…ALL of it.

While the distractions just keep coming…

Fast and Furious…Benghazi…IRS…NSA…Snowden…Hillary’s State Dept. Sex and Drug scandal…And while this absurdly corrupt and amoral regime continues to “fundamentally transform” the United States by paving the road between Sodom and Gomorrah…

There is DESPERATION in the senate to pass this immigration bill BEFORE ANYONE HAS A CHANCE TO READ THROUGH IT just as they did with Obamacare.

The immigration bill WILL pass in the senate BEFORE the 4^th of July and will THEN be placed on a dusty shelf in the house, never to see the light of day. The house will write their OWN bill and the negotiations between the hose and senate will begin and trust me, the senate will want to keep IN the bill, the language that will make Obama eligible despite his fraudulent background.

It’s clear, when you see the above decriminalizations, why socialists and the elected Obamabots want this shoved down the throats of Americans but, why would someone like Rubio and other “republicans” be behind it?

Well, in Rubio’s case…a good deal of it could well be that it would also clear HIM from any questions of eligibility regarding the fact that his parents were NOT American citizens upon HIS birth. Is he being BLACKMAILED into it by socialists in the senate? WHO KNOWS???

For Rubio and others…it would also eliminate a Constitutional crisis should Obama’s INELIGIBILITY come to a head.

Think of it…EVERY bill containing Obama’s signature…EVERY executive order he’s signed…EVERY appointment he has made…ALL of it would then have to be deemed NULL AND VOID were Obama be proven INELIGIBLE to serve as Commander in Chief.

Silently putting our troops in places we shouldn't be

By: Diane Sori

While some are being diverted yet again by the gay marriage issue, the Trevon Martin murder case (which was self-defense by the way), and yet another overpaid useless athlete being arrested for murder, we patriots are waiting with baited breath to hear what General Carter Ham had to say about the happenings at Benghazi....Benghazi...the ONLY so-called 'scandal' that can actually bring this miserable excuse of a president and his equally miserable administration down.

But while we wait for word of what General Ham said behind closed doors, real stealth maneuvers are going on by the Obama administration as he works to dismantle our military while placing our troops in harms way in places where we do NOT belong.  And he's actually 'aiding and abetting' our enemies and rubbing America's face in it in the process.

And the dismantling of our military starts with the recently announced elimination of at least 12 Army combat brigades (going from 45 to 33 brigades), the relocating of thousands of soldiers moving towards the objective of eliminating 80,000 troops now (from 570,000 to 490,000), along with 100,000 more active duty National Guard and Reserve soldiers in the near future, and by cutting $400 million in military construction projects. Using the excuse that he was forced into doing these cuts because of the mandated federal budget sequestration, Obama is targeting our military as he willingly, and I believe with malice, tries to turn our beloved America into a second rate military power.

But as he cuts back on funding for our military he will always find a way to help his muslim brethren, as silently and under the radar some of our troops are being transferred from Afghanistan into Syria, Jordan, and Egypt to aid the Muslim Brotherhood and the al-Qaeda backed Syrian rebels.

And while Obama tries to hide these transfers from 'We the People' they are indeed going on. Case in point, it's been over a month since family members have heard from or had any contact with their loved ones stationed at Camp Bastion (where our fighter jets, osprey, and all our big helicopters are based) and there has been little on the VMM-264 Black Knights page for quite some time. And even on Father's Day families could make NO contact with the troops at Camp Bastion.

And why NO contact...so that the troops could silently pack up and transfer without raising the ire of family members back home who might question why we were getting involved in yet another muslim country. In fact, Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry wants US airstrikes on the airfields under the control of Bashar al-Assad's government forces, especially airfields supposedly used to launch supposed chemical weapons against rebel forces. But what he doesn't say is that to do that the US would have to neutralize Syria's air-defense system, an operation that would require 700 or more sorties...manpower equating into boots-on-the-ground.

Another fact, 900+ US military personnel, including a 700 member combat-equipped detachment (some staying on from previous joint military drills), are in Jordan 'to bolster its defenses and prevent the Syrian civil war from spreading across the border' so says the Jordanian press...and more are on the way. And just a few weeks ago two patriot missile batteries along with a squadron of 12 to 24 F-16 fighter jets were sent to Jordan from an 'unspecified' country in the Persian Gulf.

'Unspecified' country my eye...they came from the wind-down in Afghanistan and probably from Camp Bastion itself. So who does Obama think he's kidding NOT only with this but with his claiming that we're there to help with the Syrian refugees streaming into Jordan. Fighter jets and patriot missiles are NOT needed for that...I know it...you know it...and Obama knows we know it but could care less.

And add in that 300 Marines have recently been deployed to the northern Jordan border adjacent to Syria, and will remain there for months under the guise of a training exercise, but who are really there to pave the way for Obama to arm the al-Qaeda supported Syrian rebels. Obama is arming these people even though he knows the weapons he sends could end up being used on American troops...or on Israel.

Also, Obama will shortly be sending 400 US soldiers, a battalion task force from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, to the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula on a so-called 'peacekeeping mission' as part of a Multinational Force of Observers. Observers...NO...I don't think so as armed US soldiers will be manning posts and checkpoints along the southeast coast of the Peninsula, supposedly to observe and report violations of the Egyptian-Israeli 1979 Camp David Peace Accords. Guess what, you don't need armed soldiers to observe and report violations...you need armed soldiers to aid the Obama supported Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood controlled government in anticipation of and during the media announced June 30th protests calling for his removal...his removal because Morsi is pushing for a Saudi Arabian style of government in Egypt...as in strict sharia law.

The expected riots is the real reason why our troops are going to Egypt, because why else would they have been trained in crowd control measures and Molotov cocktail attack response. And that translates into Obama supporting his muslim brethren in the battle between secular Egyptians vs islamist terrorists. And our miserable excuse of a traitorous president has sent our troops to stand with his brethren...make NO mistake about it for last month $1.3 billion in US military aid was given to Morsi despite a provision to that aid that requires Morsi to certify that the Egyptian government ”is supporting the transition to civilian government'...which we all know is NOT happening now and will NOT be happening in the future for Morsi is but a puppet of the Muslim Brotherhood...and they now call all the shots in Egypt.

So while we wind-down in Afghanistan Obama is stealthily winding us up to fight battles we do NOT need to fight, want to fight, and have NO business fighting...but hey his brethren come first...the loss of American troops be damned.
