After Impeachment, What’s Left?

Nobody Wins

What is it with our politicians? I remember when the fatuous Jimmy Carter was President, and when America had put the Shah Mohammad into power in Iran. There was a revolution and he was replaced by Ayatollah Khomeini.

There’s a poster boy for Armageddon.

Since then the middle East has been a hotbed of Hatfield Sunni’s and McCoy Shias. WHY the Bushes kept getting us into the Middle Eastern fights, inbetween these two ancient idiotic warriors, is beyond any of our comprehension.

There evidently was some big oil deal made with the Sauds, but we will never know. What we DO know is that we’ve spent way too much money and blood to keep having our men maimed and killed over there forever just because the Bushes wanted it.

It doesn’t matter how many bike rides X- President George W. makes with wounded warriors, President Trump wants us out, because the American people want out.

Don’t tell Washington that. War is money.

They were silent when President Obama gave Billions of cash on a midnight plane to Iran, right after Secretary Kerry had also signed a …as Trump puts it…”A really bad deal.”

I don’t remember many Congressmen calling him out on that, do you?

And here it is the second day of 2020, the year we all expect the most successful President since Ronald Reagan to be reelected, but it will be, according to all they’ve said and done, over their dead bodies.

Or more likely, ours. 

All the past attacks on Trump have only made him stronger, and so, what else can they do?

Why, get us all into war and blame it on him of course.

Last week, a bunch of terrorists attacked our embassy in Iraq. The man who LEAD that attack had been to see Obama in the White House many times. 

BreitBart: Iranian militia leader Hadi al-Amiri, one of several identified as leading an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, reportedly visited the White House in 2011 during the presidency of Barack Obama.

Do you see a connection here? Imagine Donald Trump meeting with Putin before Putin attacked an American embassy. (crickets)

Still the spin goes on: From the Atlantic

Over the last 18 months, Donald Trump has picked a fight with Iran that he won’t end and can’t win. That fight has had horrifying consequences for the Iranian people, led Tehran to restart its nuclear program, and now left parts of the American embassy compound in Baghdad in flames. In the days and weeks to come, Trump’s policy will likely lead either to war or additional American humiliation, or both.

Nobody: Don’t you love this? Because Trump got out of Iran’s nuclear deal, and they are now hurting. The poor Iranians have no other choice but to attack us. And he can’t win? Really?

In May, the United States accused Iran of attacking oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. Then, in June, Iran shot down an American drone.

Nobody: They admitted that they attacked. And remember all the drones Obama lost to Iran? Wait. Did he attack? Nope.

In June, Trump’s then-national security adviser, John Bolton, argued for meeting Iran’s provocations with force.

Nobody: Well of course he did. The neocons would love to  start a war before the election. They wanted some Americans killed in this attack to rewrite Hillary’s coverups in Benghazi. At most, now he has to send American troops which is what the neo’s want.

But if Trump’s non-response made America look weak in June, his military response on Sunday set off a chain of events that has made America look even weaker.

Nobody: WHAT? Sending a military response makes him look weaker? I guess they wanted another Hillary response, which is: Hey, you know what you signed up for soldier:  die. 

The author goes on, he can’t help himself:

So, absent a revolution that replaces the Islamic Republic with a more pliant regime, he’s at Iran’s mercy. Given the crushing sanctions America continues to impose, Iran has every incentive to make America bleed.

Nobody: This sentence is simply ridiculous. Make America bleed? Our men will make toast out of the Iranians, and it’s the Iranians that are trying to pick a fight.

And you can bet, Obama and Kerry are right behind the scenes trying to make it all happen.

It’s the democrats that are on the precipice of insanity.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that this article reminded me of an old saying: One said by William E. Jenner about W. Averell Harriman, long ago:

Who ever wrote this is a thin as piss on a hot rock.

Will President Trump be forced to get into WWIII in Iran?

I don’t think so. Not even the democrats want war in an election year…because who could they run to even match Trump?

Buttplug?

Nobody’s Perfect: The American Embassy in Iraq VS The Pentagon

Nobody’s Perfect:embassy two

This week, we have two buildings that are in grave danger: They are both big, they both employ thousands of people, and they both could be taken over. (Or have been already.)

FIRST: The American Embassy in Iraq.

President Bush really didn’t talk about it much, but when he decided to build the biggest embassy in the world, in that unstable country called IRAQ, and on top of that insane idea, make it look more like a summer home for King Saud than an American embassy–well let’s just say it was more than a bit over the top.

Its so big, Obama would even consider living in it.

We understand that the officers like to have a nice place to spend their hours, but did they really need to build the biggest swimming pool in the world?

I’m having a flashback: Saddam was invading Kuwait—and in order to protect the sissy Muslim boys in their palaces, Daddy Bush came to the rescue. And now, we see Obama had to take a few moments from his putt shot on the 18th hole to try to ‘save’ that billion-dollar complex called the Baghdad Embassy from ISIS.Embassy one

Who would really love a nice dip after their hard days of slaughtering. .

“President Barack Obama announced late Monday that he plans to deploy approximately 275 troops to Iraq who will “provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.”

ONLY 275? They need that for the pool alone. Obama has more guys protecting him than that when he takes a trip to Ireland to drink beer.

“The force is deploying for the purpose of protecting U.S. citizens and property, if necessary, and is equipped for combat,” Obama wrote in a letter to Congress. “This force will remain in Iraq until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed.”

The exact number of people being evacuated from Baghdad — the American government prefers to say they are being “relocated” — was not disclosed. But the embassy will remain open, and most of its staff will remain, according to the State Department.

Ha.ha.ha. Notice the words, “No longer needed.” That’s..when? 5055?

Which brings up the second very expensive complex called the Pentagon. It actually costs LESS to build than the Baghdad embassy…only $83 million, as opposed to several billion, but employs over 24,000 thousand people. According to the reports, only 5,500 American are working at that biggest embassy in the world.Pentagon

Mmmmmm….

And Nobody asks: Which was a bigger waste of taxpayer’s money?

So who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?

Or should it be: Which President has wasted taxpayers money the most?

That’s a HARD one, because the figures are all hidden in Cayman Island bank accounts.

Did Bush build that embassy because he expected someday for the Saudi Family to take it over? Or was it for the elite American officers?

If you picked the Embassy in Baghdad I’d have to agree. It wins for being the biggest waste of taxpayer’s money on the planet, second only to Obama’s vacations, in my Nobody’s Opinion.

Glenn Back had this to say about it:

“I hope to God we detonate that thing,” Beck said, but his co-host Pat Gray predicted that American leadership would never order such a move, and it would fall into the hands of extremists first.

“I can guarantee you that’s a listening station,” Beck said of the embassy. “When we were at CNN, we started looking into the Baghdad embassy, and … it was estimated to be over $1 billion at the time. And there were no pictures of this, no one was talking about it, and it is … bigger than all of Vatican City.”

And what will the terrorists say if they mow down the 275 soldiers protecting that Disneyland of opulence? I can hear it now:

“We are coming for the Pentagon, next.”

Nobody Gets Email: Iraqi Honors our Soldiers…

Nobody’s Email

I was watching a video of Obama celebrating Ramadan today, and not one word was mentioned of our soldiers overseas. Barry just couldn’t muster it. I just got this email yesterday…so I’m passing it on. I don’t know about you, but Obama seems to have all but forgotten our men, and only brings the subject up when he wants to score votes.

Typical tyrannical behavior. Anyway…let’s hope our boys come home soon.

(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

*******

I for one, am thankful for the power of the internet. I would never see this in or on any of this country’s main media outlets. Shame on them.

Do you know what this is or where this is?

This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry Division. It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas.

The Statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalet, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.

Kalat was so grateful for the America’s liberation of his country: he melted 3 of the Heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors.

Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months. To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms. 

Do you know why we don’t hear about this in the news? The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect…but we can do something about it.

We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who are making a difference.

U.S. Presidents: Trying to win the WRONG Hearts and Minds…

Nobody’s Opinion:

“We’re in Iraq today because our goal has always been more than the removal of a brutal dictator. It is to leave a free and democratic Iraq in his place.” -George W. Bush

It’s been twelve years…and 9/11 seems like yesterday. As we watched Bush’s “Shock and Awe” bombing of Baghdad on our television sets so long ago, we were told over and over how careful our military was with their really cool new weaponry that could target so precisely— they could hit a lunchbox. And remember? All the lights were on in Baghdad. To the Pentagon, it was one of their finest hours. The lights were kept on so we could all watch the cars going up and down the highway, and big explosions at the same time.

So cool. Real entertainment…LIVE! Watch the almighty American bombs..and the caring President who only wants to destroy the really bad guys! Our compassionate new leader!

But, when the camera’s left… the lights did go off. And one of the reasons we were having such a hard time winning “hearts and minds” for democracy in Iraq,  was how slow we were getting the lights back on. If you are going to win “hearts and minds” it helps if you give them air- conditioning.

According to Herbert Docena, who writes in the book, Nation Building…the fault lies in how our government handed out the contracts for rebuilding.

The money has flowed from the U.S. government to top-heavy, cash-rich American companies, who are providing needed technical expertise, but none is reaching the average Iraqi reconstruction ministries. For years after the shock caused such great awe, the Iraq’s suffered from power interruptions lasting on average of 16 hours a day. During the day, some 12 million unemployed hung out at the Green Zone looking for work. On top of that there was uncollected garbage, sewage, and general chaos.

Okay, we all expected that….but here’s something that you may not have known.

To get the electric back on, the electric turbines, which had been made by French, Russian, and Japanese manufacturing companies…needed to be fixed. Instead of just finding the parts from Russia or Japan, to replace the spare parts needed, the contractors  bid for building new billion dollar power generators themselves. The parts missing would have cost a few hundred dollars.

In other words, instead of getting them what they needed to put the electric back on, Bechtels the contract holder, decided that he would get up to $20 billion dollars worth of construction contracts paid by the taxpayers for the next few years.

This also meant that there was limited electricity to run the oil refineries. The Iraq oil couldn’t be refined, so the US exported Iraq crude oil under a Halliburton subsidiary, which imported gasoline from Turkey and Kuwait.

In other words, the Halliburton subsidiary KBR  (Kellogg, Brown, and Root) was charging the US government more than twice what other were paying for imported gasoline, some $61 million in overcharges. Not getting the electric back on worked very well for hired contractors.  If they got the oil up and running in Iraq, KBR would not make any more money importing the oil.

All the while…our boys were getting maimed by homemade IED’s.

There is a reason we have spent trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s called good old American greed, and as we have seen, we are still sending our boys over there to be killed…because somebody needs to protect the contractors.  I heard a general just last week on Fox try to reassure Bret Baier that the middle East would still be open for business.

Gee…that’s nice. I’ll just go and get my camel.

Nobody is against oil companies making big profits, but not at the expense of the American citizen. This seems to prove that  our government is now run by corporations: whether it’s Bush’s Halliburton, or Obama’s GE. Once again, the rich got richer off this war in Iraq,  and the taxpayers footed the bill. Bankers, contractors…politicians…they love each other. Follow the dollar-brick- road. Obama said he’d stop the war, but he didn’t. He hasn’t. We are still there training our enemies.

Even Rumsfeld couldn’t account for literally billions of dollars that went missing in Iraq. He stood on a podium one day, said they couldn’t find the missing billions, and that’s all that was said, and then it was …okay.

You and I could not pay the IRS a few thousand dollars or we’d be put in Jail, not these guys.  They all belong to the “get- out- of -jail free” mile high club—where you can have cocktails before your swim in the biggest swimming pool, in the biggest embassy in the World, and then go get your piece of the American pie.  

In his book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People, Peter Van Buren, a career officer who worked on “rebuilding” Iraq, wrote this:

An unnamed ambassador demands to grow grass on the Embassy grounds in the green zone. When the seeds didn’t take, he imported sod from Kuwait, “brought by armored convoy to the Embassy. No one confessed to what it cost to import, but estimates varied between two and five million dollars.

Van Buren couldn’t even count all the fraudulent waste.

He remembers, for example, offering a free seedling to an Iraqi farmer, who “spat on the ground and said, ‘You killed my son, and now you are giving me a tree?’” An American farmer who lost a son in the war, could pretty much say the very same thing.

Nobody suggests they get the parts for the turbines in Iraq going, and the US should start pumping out oil for ourselves from Iraq.

Oh…that contract went to China!

Let me get this straight: Our boys died and we spent over 3 trillion dollars stabilizing Iraq, with US blood and money so that China could come in and take the oil?

Nobody Wonders: Who made this deal? Because..it was China that got the victory. And now the Commander-in-Chief is cutting the medical care to the boys who so bravely went to fight. Obama, is an obmination of a man, for this one act alone. And don’t tell me I should respect the “office.” Nobody is going to address that “logic” in another blog.

Nobody Thinks it’s time our government starts trying to win the “hearts and minds” of its own people….before…we lose both.
