There has been a number of inane comments made by the Obama administration regarding the desire to launch an attack on Syria but, perhaps the most brainless to date was uttered by Nancy Pelosi.
Here is exactly what she said on Thursday night.
“Assad gassing his own people is an issue of our national security, regional stability and global security. We must be clear that the United States rejects the use of chemical weapons by Assad or any other regime.”
The woman is beyond even professional help.
First of all…Do we even know that ASSAD ordered the gassing?
No.
Do we know that ONLY Assad’s army is responsible for the gassing?
No.
Given that, there are even MORE pressing questions needing to be addressed when it comes to this absurd statement from Pelosi.
First…
How, exactly, is the gassing of anyone, half a world away and limited to the borders of Syria a THREAT TO…OUR…NATIONAL SECURITY???
We have an unsealed border to our south and we know full well that Hezbollah has their operatives on the Mexican side of the border.
THAT is a NATIONAL SECURITY matter.
Obama gave THOUSANDS of weapons to MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS.
THAT is a National Security matter.
The Obama administration if rife with members of THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
THAT is a NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER.
The list of REAL matters of NATIONAL SECURITY, ignored and coddled by this absurd administration is LONG and DANGEROUS but…
Events contained within the borders of SYRIA are, in fact…PHONY NATIONAL SECURITY MATTERS and any attempt to portray them otherwise is insane.
While I agree that the Middle East is a ti
nder box sitting on a powder keg surrounded by gasoline, ANY inhumane activities, once again, CONTAINED within the Syrian borders and a part of THEIR civil war and NOT a “regional” matter but a SYRIAN MATTER.
And a “GLOBAL ISSUE???”
Please…GET A GRIP!!!!!
Does this obtuse woman even HAVE a GLOBE???
It is clear she doesn’t have any relationship with the truth either as she, after her 2007 personal meeting with Assad claimed, “The road to Damascus is a road to peace.”
Please, Pelosi…Enlighten us all on how these events…INSIDE SYRIA…are posing any threat whatsoever to ANY other nation OTHER than Syria?
Australia?
Japan?
China?
Iceland?
Spain?
Zimbabwe?
ANY other nation?????
IT DOESN’T.
So why, in the face of reality, would she make such a transparently absurd statement?
Because she, like the overwhelming vast majority of liberals and socialists, both elected and otherwise, liberal/socialist members of the media included, hitched their little red wagons to a jackass in 2008 and nobody’s wagon has wheels as square as does Nancy Pelosi’s.
Obama is in a desperate PERSONAL position because of his OWN EGO regarding Syria.
An August 20th, 2012, Obama said, “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus,” Obama said. “That would change my equation. . . . We’re monitoring that situation very carefully. 
We have put together a range of contingency plans.”
“That would change…MY…calculus.”
“That would change…MY…equation.”
Not OUR calculus…Not OUR equation but HIS.
A few months later, intel showed those chemical weapons being “moved around.”
Did Obama change HIS calculus?
No.
A few weeks after that, chemical weapons were indeed USED in Syria.
Did Obama change HIS equation?
No.
His arbitrary “red line” had been crossed twice and HIS calculus…HIS equation…DIDN’T change.
Not one bit.
Then, a year and a day after establishing…HIS…red line…with the “rebels” affiliated with al Qaeda LOSING and no assistance coming from Obama even after the gun running debacle of Benghazi fell apart resulting in the covered up deaths of 4 Americans and, all of a sudden, chemical weapons are used inside Syria again.
Unable to escape or ignore his SELF-IMPOSED “red line” again…THIS TIME…Obama sent 5 destroyers, each carrying 90 cruise missiles, to the eastern Mediterranean to launch an attack on Assad’s Syria and an amphibious ship full of MARINES…The boots on the ground he claimed he wouldn’t send.
There is no strategy.
There is no objective.
There is no end game.
The mission, if you can call it that, has evolved DOWNWARD from a “DECISIVE” blow to a “PUNISHMENT” to a “limited strike.” It’s not meant to eliminate the WMD…Not meant to eliminate Assad…Not meant to alter the direction of the civil war.
Only France agrees with ANY proposed military action against Assad in the wake of WHOEVER really used the chemical weapons.
We, AMERICANS, were to have been shown the “irrefutable evidence” and hear the “undeniable” case for taking military action last Wednesday.
Then it was Thursday.
And then, John Kerry spoke out on Syria on Friday.
“We know,” he said. “WE KNOW…WE KNOW…WE KNOW,” It was ASSAD…It was ASSAD…It was ASSAD…this and that but, the ONLY reason he was able to provide for taking unilateral military action was…because Obama told Assad not to use WMD and WMD were used anyway. and then tried his best to baffle us with bullcrap rather than show us the evidence.
“DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT” Kerry said, “INSTEAD READ THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF REPORTS…”
Apparently, he was talking about the THOUSANDS of SOCIAL MEDIA posts he mentioned soon thereafter because, for the life of me, he never said where the “REPORTS” could be found and, after only a few days, I rather doubt that THOUSANDS of REPORTS could have been compiled.
We’re to believe that, the same administration that got it all wrong, for 3 weeks after Benghazi, got this RIGHT after 3 DAYS with Syria???
Kerry made a melodramatic case for military action based only on feelings but not on ANY threat to national security except to say that if we don’t take military action NOW…Syria MIGHT use such weapons against us at some unknown date in the far future. and, at the end of his speech, he admitted there was no possible military solution to what happened.
Let me say that again…JOHN KERRY, AFTER MAKING OBAMA’S CASE FOR MILITARY ACTION AGAINST SYRIA…ADMITTED THAT THERE COULD BE NO MILITARY SOLUTION!!!
A couple of hours later, OBAMA spoke regarding Syria and stated, “I have had my military and our team look at a wide range of options.”
“…my calculus…”
“…my equation…”
“MY military…”
Ego.
By default, he is the “commander in chief” but under NO circumstances doe the UNITED STATES MILITARY serve ANY president. THEY SERVE THE NATION and only someone with an EGO PROBLEM would refer to OUR men and women in uniform as…“MY…military.”
Thursday evening, in a conference call with congressional members, Kerry again spoke of a “range of options” but, on a 90 minute call, never outlined any option other than a military strike.
Not one.
That phone call, a desperate and transparent attempt to sway someone…ANYONE to Obama’s side, came at the same time the British Parliament DECLINED to take part in any such military action.
Obama is standing alone on an island of his own ego and he is desperate…DESPERATE…to strike.
Not at Syria.
Not at Assad…
At his OWN sinking standing on the world’s stage and only a fool would believe that cruise missiles could possibly shore up his dismal, floundering and now deserted island.
Over the last year or so, Obama has systematically removed from power, the generals and admirals who had practical and strategic knowledge of such situations and were willing to tell him NO when the time came for it and replaced them, from the Secretary of Defense down, with the same ilk surrounding him in his cabinet.
Sycophants.
They “YES SIR” him to his face…Kiss his ass from behind but, inside the 5 walls of the pentagon, not even these military men of action can 
formulate a workable plan for something as overtly stupid as an attack on Syria in this scenario that has any effect whatsoever or any meaningful outcome that doesn’t jeopardize our allies in the region.
Meanwhile, for more than a week now, Assad has had ample time to disperse his military assets. Hide them, park them in neighborhoods and near schools. Remove them from harm’s way.
What he can’t move, military buildings, command and control centers, air fields and communication towers will be empty of personnel and packed with civilians when the missiles fly.
Those chemical weapons are untouchable by cruise missiles and any strike on them will spread death in their clouds.
But rest assured, Obama, painted into an epic corner by his own ego, WILL launch SOMETHING and even if all he manages to destroy is an aspirin factory, a bird house and cell phone tower, Obama will claim a massive and decisive victory, the saving of the world and increased security at home as the result.
Nancy Pelo
si’s ridiculous statement of false facts, “Assad gassing his own people is an issue of our national security, regional stability and global security. We must be clear that the United States rejects the use of chemical weapons by Assad or any other regime,” has laid the groundwork for that.
Our ally, our only TRUE ally in the region, Israel, will face retaliation for Obama’s ego and those chemical weapons, untouchable by cruise missiles, will be used again.

Wow! great description of what a LOON Pelosi, (and the rest of this administration) is. And even though the possibility that the WMD’s could be used in the US, the fact is that they are using it on their OWN people. I suspect that the thought of using it on us didn’t even register in the minds of the idiots in Syria.
#1. NOBODY pays any attention to what comes out of Pelosi’s mouth.
#2. NOBODY pays any attention to what comes out of Kerry’s mouth.
#3. ANYBODY with a brain knows that the words that come out of obama’s mouth are not his. He is a puppet who is told what to say by his muslim handlers. THEY desperately want this misstep in the Middle East. THEY want a meltdown. THEY want the United States to be blamed for it so they can proceed with THEIR meltdown.
Great Article! Well written and passed this along. So True and now O’Bummer knows there is money left in Social Security and soon that will be gone! Just like watching the Country go by! Wake up Democrat’s /Liberal’s This is it! Wake up and smell the roses! Is there still Hope and Faith that this Country can come back????. Can we get him O impeached? I hear Sept 9th there is a march in Washington. Waiting to see what transpires out of that. Go Ted Cruz! He is on our side! Amen. 🙂 May God Bless America if we get her back and turn this around!
Just friended you on FB and this post is SPOT ON!!! I have two sons in the AF and have been telling them for 4 yrs that they are going to have to choose who they will follow in the very near future because this idiot is going to destroy our nation. He is a skid mark on Americas Underwear !!!
Excellent article. You covered some very good key points. Obama replacing good people in the military with his own, including the muslim brotherhood, which are clearly using our resources to execute their strategy for the middle east. John Kerry playing on emotion and pointing to reports… I thought the same thing when I saw him saying that. Where are the reports? They supposedly were unclassified so the public should be able to view them. I’d like to see them. It is ridiculous to think that what is going on half a world away has anything to do with OUR national security. When he strikes Syria, it may very well then become our national security problem after we anger Russia, China, etc. enough for them to come after us. My only thought further is that his statement a year ago, was actually a portent of things to come. He made his statement but the muslim brotherhood in our administration was not ready until now to strike. That is why he let the other chemical attacks go without retaliation. Now the MB is ready. I personally think Assad was NOT behind the chemical attacks and now with the entire world against us, we’re going in after we’ve been clearly warned by some major countries NOT to do anything. Since a stand down order was given in Benghazi and Americans died, surely our president can very well do the same to Americans right here on our own soil if Russia or China threatens us. People are very naive to assume that BO loves America enough to save her if truly threatened. He doesn’t. I just hope our military would love our country enough to disobey him and save us.
Great article. Remember O’Bama is only out for O’Bama and def. not the USA or its citizens. He has spent all our money and now we wants us in a war when he has also given all that money and military items to the enemy. I wish the senate democrats would wake up. It will be their country gone too.
Mr.Obama stay out of it. You are being baited by Syria.
They are too anxious for you to strike..it will open up a huge mess in the middle east, causing both Russia and China to have it against us, and giving Syria a reason to strike Israel.
The Spider sits in the web calling you in Mr. Obama….cool your heels.
It’s amazing that the doves have suddenly become hawks.
Excellent article Mr. Andersen and chock full of facts (and well-written) of which Obama, most likely, has no recollection, Pelosi too! Absolutely passed along to many! Have a good day. God Bless America!!!
