Op-ed: 

A War We Might Very Well Lose

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots

Donald Trump again made news last week this time with his claim that ISIS was founded by Obama and Hillary. And while some in the media are mocking him and calling him to task other ‘talking heads’ are agreeing with him. But my question is what took them so long for I have been saying for years that Barack HUSSEIN Obama and Hillary Clinton are indeed the ones who gave birth to the ISIS of today. And how did I know this when the others are only now coming to this conclusion…I just put two and two together without the need for Common Core math and actually came up with the number four.

Simply, when a president…when a Commander-in- Chief…announces their country’s date of withdrawal from the theaters of war and when the Secretary of State does neither a thing of substance to show why this is a very bad idea let alone try to stop him…two things are now proven…first, both persons are siding with an enemy who now knows they just have to lay low, wait until we are gone, and then come back newly reorganized, regrouped, and stronger than ever…and second, while laying low the more radical amongst them can both build up their war chests as they ‘rally the blind following ideological faithful’ behind them with claims that their god is in their corner, while supplying them with ideas and possibilities not seen before…new and brutally calculated ideas and possibilities…including ideas of how to bring their enemy…in this case America…to her knees.

And how does the enemy…an enemy that is anything but the once-referred to as a JV team…an enemy known as ISIS…plan on dropping America to her knees…simply through an invasion of her homeland aided by their operative in the White House. And they don’t have to fire a single shot to do so as they have been given their needed ground zero base of operations of sorts as their operative…one Barack HUSSEIN Obama…freely lets into this country unable to vet ISIS aligned anything but Syrian refugees coupled with terrorist aligned muslim refugees from all over the entirety of the muslim world.

And you ain’t seen nothing yet for what happened in Europe with its actual self-condoning cultural suicide…will pale by comparison to what could happen here...courtesy of political correctness and the placating kumbaya sorts.

First just a little background…for starters let’s make it clear that Barack HUSSEIN Obama did indeed lose the peace after George W. Bush and his ‘surge’ had won the Iraq war. In 2010, as said war was winding down and with Iraq in somewhat stable shape courtesy of relatively good security, a workable budget, and with relations among its various ethnic groups and religious entities holding the somewhat peaceful status quo line, enter center stage Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who after being democratically elected drew a red line in the sand that he allowed no one to cross…unlike Obama’s so many red lines crossed…as he ruled as opposed to governed, and did so like a dictator stripping his political opponents of power while appointed his cronies and ‘yes-men’ to run the army, all while relishing in the killing of peaceful protesters.

And while all this was going on, instead of reigning in al-Maliki and his thugs, Obama was busy sabotaging the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) so he could blame the failure of these very negotiations as the reason for his calling for a total U.S. troop withdrawal, as well as having us and our allies aligning with the 'supposed' Syrian rebels fighting against Syria’s lawfully elected President Bashar al-Assad and his mostly secular government.

And while al-Assad was and remains a bad guy in his own right…a bad guy that time has shown to be the lesser of two evils to all who understand the true game being played (as in Russia and Iran siding with him against ISIS…something we should have done)…yet he was and is a bad guy who knew all along that the 'so-called' Syrian rebels...whom Obama and Hillary were both bankrolling and supplying with guns and weapons (remember Benghazi)...rebels who were either ISIS militants themselves or allied with ISIS...were not just fighting to overthrow his above stated mostly secular government but were fighting primarily to help grow the now ever-expanding caliphate.

And so the original al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI)…founded by Sunni extremist Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi in 2004...a once regional problem that was somewhat contained...now saw by our 2011 withdrawal Sunni tribes…tribes who had supported us during the surge…being left abandoned by both Obama’s bad decisions involving Iraq and his all-consuming dislike of anything George W. Bush no matter how successful Bush’s decisions were…as in the surge…now becoming tribes caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place as in between al-Maliki’s hostile Shite dominated government in Baghdad and the now ever-growing number of islamic terrorists.

And it was Obama's withdrawal of U.S. troops that helped AQI become the ISIS we know today for if Obama did not withdraw our troops or if he had successfully renegotiated SOFA...allowing for an American troop presence to remain in Iraq...Iraq's security forces would have been bolstered and Sunni anger would have been tempered down, and ISIS would have remained just a regional problem if even that.

But instead all these diversions directly allowed al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) to expand, grow in number as it added even more militant members, and then over time morph into the killing machine we know as the ISIS of today…and they did so as al-Maliki did nothing of substance to stop them, but then again neither did Obama. And it was Obama’s and Hillary’s very inaction's coupled with bad military decisions Obama consciously made that allowed today's ISIS not only to be born but to become an anything but JV team.

Now as to the Obama sanctioned ISIS invasion of our beloved America.

Remember Obama’s plan to bring up to 10,000 anything but Syrian refugees into our country by the end of Fiscal Year 2016 (which ends on September 30th)…well folks for starters in June of this year alone 100 not properly vetted and quickly processed Syrian 'so-called' refugees were admitted into our country per day for a total of 3,000 by month’s end. That’s in addition to the 1000 admitted in May which ups the 450 'so-called' refugees admitted in April and the 100-250 who were admitted during each of the first six months of fiscal year 2016, which actually began in October 2015.

And the number of invaders continues to increase as there are still 4.7+ million Syrian refugees living in neighboring countries ready to be permanently resettled, many of them wanting entry into the U.S…a continuing army of invaders positioning themselves to carry out more attacks on U.S. soil…attacks like San Bernardino, Boston, and Orlando…and Obama has the welcome mat laid out for them.

And like I stated above the numbers are increasing for just this past July, 2,340 Syrian anything but refugees were admitted into the U.S. now putting Obama on target to meet his September 30th deadline (which is the end of this fiscal year) to have the first 10,000 of them here… and by ‘them’ I mean that most being admitted are young, strong, and healthy Sunni muslim men…the same sort that has invaded Europe. That brings the number resettled here to about 8,000 for fiscal year 2016 to date with the months of August and September still to go, and with the numbers showing no signs of abating.

No sign of abating for sure as now thanks to Obama’s sudden surge in the number of Syrian refugees he’s allowing into the U.S…a number that has risen to an average of 358 per week…a number expected to be held or increase between now and the September 30th deadline…you just know that the target number of 10,000 will easily be met.

And know that those being let in indeed are invaders for as per and up to the latest June 2016 numbers, Obama had only admitted 20 Christians into the U.S. compared to the over 2,500 muslims he admitted during that same given time period, and this surely does equate to an invasion. Now please note that as I write this article the numbers I previously stated add up to almost 8,000 Syrian refugees having been allowed into our country, but that in the entirety of July and to date in August only one more Christian has been added to their final up to June 30th fiscal year number of 20…translating into only 0.96% of the entirety of the Syrian refugees admitted having been Christians.

Twenty-one Christians out of the tens of thousands…out of the millions actually…whose lives are in danger…21 Christians and some still wonder whose side in this war Obama really is on. And as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said just a few months back, Christian refugees from Syria do indeed have a much harder time gaining entry to the United States than do muslim refugees…and the fact is Trump is right and the above stated numbers prove it.

But no matter the numbers, the fact remains that we are at war whether some care to admit it or not and it’s not a just war of dueling religions per se…it’s not simply a war of Christians vs muslims as islam is really not a religion no matter what the kumbaya sorts say…but is a war of clashing ideologies…a constitutional republic that values individual freedom vs an all-encompassing subjugating political system hiding behind the guise of calling itself a religion…a clash between what the world actually is and what some want the world to be as civilizations collide between those still living like 7th century savages albeit with 21st weapons vs the 21st century civilized man with not only the same weapons but with even better weapons…weapons complete with the mindset of we dare not use them.

And lest we forget that the bottom line was, is, and will always remain that if we do not stop with all the political correctness…a cleverly devised system of forced words not unlike the focused, destructive, and oh so vile words and actions that makes up the foundation of islamic hypocrisy...complete with our fear of offending muslims as we placate these very ones out to kill us all…political correctness complete with both words said and with words unsaid...and sadly coupled with militarily actions needed but not taken…it becomes a war that we might very well lose.

Destined to fail...the words of a traitor
By: Diane Sori

Reverberating throughout Washington, as well it should, ex-Defense Secretary Robert Gates is blowing the lid on the Obama administration's total disasters in the foreign policy arena...including the unthinkable that all his war decisions...all his decisions regarding our troops...were based upon political expediency benefiting him alone and NOT on the concept of victory.

Robert Gates worked for every president since Richard Nixon, with the exception of Bill Clinton, and served as Defense Secretary for two years under Barack HUSSEIN Obama. Now he has come forward in his soon to be released book, 'Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War,' to criticize Obama's approach to a number of key defense-related issues, paramount of which is his distrust of our military hierarchy and indirectly his tried to hide disdain for our troops themselves.

In criticizing Obama, especially in relation to his Afghan policies, Gates alludes to something that a president in his position as Commander-in-Chief must NEVER do...a Commander-in-Chief must NEVER have doubts about the mission at hand nor about the officers on the ground NOT getting the job they were sent to do done, because if he does the troops actually fighting...the troops putting their lives on the line can sense it...can sense the defeatist attitude...can sense the betrayal by the very man who should have total unquestioned faith in them.

For example, in Gates' exposing that Obama had doubts about committing 30,000 more troops to what became known as 'the surge' because he believed the fighting would end in failure... "skeptical if not outright convinced it [the administration strategy] would fail," were Gates' words, and to me that is a total breach of military protocol that borders on treason for 30,000 more troops were now being sent to their possible deaths on Obama's orders...orders that amounted to a lazier-faire attitude of who cares about the troops for Obama, of his own volition, was sending them there destined to fail...destined to die.

And this speaks in hushed tones of something some of us have known for quite some time...Barack HUSSEIN Obama NEVER wanted to win this war for defeating America's enemies would be defeating his friends. And by his very actions...or lack thereof...our troops have always been able to sense that the very man who is supposed to do all in his power to assure their victory did everything in his power to make sure victory was NOT to be had for Obama, as Commander-in-Chief, had our troops fighting to 'win the hearts and minds' of the enemy instead of fighting to win.

Obama's lack of commitment to win the war in Afghanistan along with his distrust and ignoring of what the ranking military officers on the ground advised him to do or NOT do are serious breaches of conduct done by a man sending troops into combat. And as Gates said, this speaks volumes that for Obama, "it's all about getting out" and getting out for political reasons alone...his re-election was coming up the following year...for by dismissing all the advice of the ranking officers and insisted on announcing to the enemy our timetable for withdrawal, "his focus was always on ending the war, not winning it."

And that dismissing of advice is paramount to Obama's Afghan and Iraqi failures. In fact, General Petraeus, then the central commander in charge of both the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters and a man Obama had doubts could work with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, made statements to the press that he was NOT at all comfortable with setting a fixed date to start withdrawal. And still Obama did NOT heed his advice, instead choosing to criticize the military...the very military he is Commander-in-Chief of...for “popping off in the press” and said he would push back hard against any delay in beginning the withdrawal.

It was all about him...as usual...with NO concern for the safety for those on the front lines and this was picked up by Gates, who "was deeply uneasy with the Obama White House's lack of appreciation—from the top down—of the uncertainties and unpredictability of war," because with Barack HUSSEIN Obama any and everything ...every decision made...was made with domestic political calculations in mind...was made based on what would be politically best for him and him alone.

Remember, when Obama ran for president the first time, he bloviated time and again his opposition to the 2003 Iraq invasion and to the fighting in Afghanistan...what he called Bush's wars. Politically he had to for his primary opponent was ubber liberal Hillary Clinton who admitted in front of Gates that, "her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq has been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary. The president conceded vaguely that his opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying," Gates writes.

Surprising and dismaying puts it mildly and shows Hillary to be as vile and self-serving as the man she hopes to succeed as president.

And in his book Gates is also extremely critical of Vice President Joe Biden. "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." And while Gates is right in this assessment the one thing I will give 'Uncle Joe' is that I for one do NOT believe he is a traitor to America like both Obama and Hillary are. Remember, Biden's son even served in the wars.

So while I nor the general public have yet read Robert Gates book I can unequivocally say that for a former defense secretary to fault and criticize... especially in print...a sitting president's leadership...a sitting president's attitude about those leading the fight to keep us safe and free at home...speaks volumes about the character of the man whose very actions and attitudes have resulted in so many American deaths now to have been in vain.
