Senior UK Defense Advisor: Obama Is Clueless About ‘What He Wants To Do In The World'

Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the president’s strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled America’s position in the world.

President Obama is “chronically incapable” of military strategy and falls far short of his predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britain’s most senior military advisors.
Sir Hew Strachan, an advisor to the Chief of the Defense Staff, told The Daily Beast that the United States and Britain were guilty of total strategic failure in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama’s attempts to intervene on behalf of the Syrian rebels “has left them in a far worse position than they were before.”
The extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States’ closest military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the President’s foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of the military.
Strachan, a current member of the Chief of the Defense Staff’s Strategic Advisory Panel, cited the “crazy” handling of the Syrian crisis as the most egregious example of a fundamental collapse in military planning that began in the aftermath of 9/11. “If anything it’s gone backwards instead of forwards, Obama seems to be almost chronically incapable of doing this. Bush may have had totally fanciful political objectives in terms of trying to fight a global War on Terror, which was inherently astrategic, but at least he had a clear sense of what he wanted to do in the world. Obama has no sense of what he wants to do in the world,” he said.

Unfit for command: Obama and the decline of America

When one of America’s top admirals says that America is in decline, it is something we should pay attention to.

Admiral Samuel Locklear, the Commander of the Pacific fleet said as much.  He said, “Our historic dominance that most of us in this room have enjoyed is diminishing, no question.”
Admiral Locklear was speaking specifically of the Pacific Ocean where a resurgent China is now challenging America for superiority, but in general terms what he is saying is true.
America is in decline and we can thank Barack Obama for that.  In his recent memoir, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said the only defense issue that Obama got passionate about was the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Perhaps he was excited about that because retired Admirals and Generals almost uniformly said that repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” would have a detrimental effect on the American military.

Three years ago, Obama announced America would “pivot” from focusing on Europe to focusing on the Pacific.  Focusing on the Pacific requires a different set of tools than Europe.  Among other things, it requires a larger Navy.  The Obama Regime has been cutting the size of the Navy, along with the rest of the military.

But it’s not just the military; it is national security in general.  Obama is not only not interested, he is clueless.

Details: Alaska Supreme Court Oral 
Arguments In Obama Eligibility Case 

Yesterday the Alaska Supreme Court held the oral argument in my case against President Obama.

First some janitorial work (clean up the BS on the internet) must be attended to - according to Great Grey an Alaskan icon in legalese who has a dual identity but hangs his head in an elevator and doesn't like to look you in the eye but put his two cents in.

Here is what took place without the GreatGrey the BS.

The questions and answers were between Justice Winfree and myself and one exchange dealt with his statement that the Alaska Dispatch Joe Miller case revolved around local documents.

This statement was borne out of my statement that the Alaska Dispatch stated in brief the public/voter has a right to know what the facts are that surround a public official.

Even the Court has supported that - so his statement was turned to an issue that required and answer and that was if it was a case of paternity - the documents (like a birth certificate) from another state could be requested.

After the answer, he moved to ask if I could sue Judges - I looked at the Justices and stated yes - reason: after all they were elected by the voter - he then moved to ask if I could sue Governor Parnell - I answered yes - reason: again he is elected by the voter.

He did ask if I was representing the public - I indicated that I had citizen/taxpayer standing and that I am affected by Obamacare, etc, etc,  and that the public had an interest in this case.

One important point [...] 

Classmate: Obama had gay sex to get cocaine

The liberal Huffington Post reported early this month that a classmate of Barack Obama, while he was a student at the prestigous Punahou School in Hawaii, says Obama was actively involved in the gay community there and suggests he had sexual relations with other men to get cocaine. Obama has himself admitted he used “blow,” his term for cocaine, as a young man. The former classmate, Mia Marie Pope, says Obama was a heavy cocaine user during the time.
"He always portrayed himself as a foreign student," Pope said in an interview on The Manning Report. "Girls were never anything that he ever was interested in ... He would get with these older white gay men, and this is how we just pretty much had the impression that that's how he was procuring his cocaine."
Pope said, "In other words, he was having sex with these older white guys and that's how he was getting this cocaine to be able to freebase."
The question of whether Obama has recently used cocaine, while president, was raised in this article earlier this year about speculation that he used the drug on September 11, 2012 while our consulate in Benghazi, Libya was attacked by al Qaeda terrorists. The notion of Obama using cocaine while president was further explored in this article as well.
The Huffington Post article further reported, regarding the allegations of Obama participating in the gay community, “Pope, of course, isn't the first conservative voice to make such claims about the president's personal life. In May, "Coach" Dave Daubenmire implied Obama was "openly gay" or "better yet, openly bisexual" in a News With Views broadcast, nothing that the president's "face seems to really light up when he begins to talk about the gay agenda." In fall 2012, gossip columnist turned Tea Party author Jerome Corsi alleged that the president had been actively involved in Chicago's gay bar and bathhouse scene.”

Devastating Benghazi timeline: Obama missed intel briefing five days in a row before jihad attack, went to campaign rally right after it

 Note that Obama says, "Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat" the day before a Libyan defense militia warned State Department officials about the jihad threat in Benghazi. "Devastating Benghazi Timeline Reveals Obama MIA," by Wynton Hall for Breitbart, January 16:

The government watchdog group that revealed that President Barack Obama failed to attend over half of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) released a devastating Benghazi timeline Wednesday.... As the GAI timeline reveals, Obama failed to attend his daily intelligence briefing for the five consecutive days leading up to the September 11, 2012 attack of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
The Benghazi timeline catalogues Obama’s continuous campaigning even as terrorist forces vowed Libyan attacks and State Department officials were warned of security threats.
The day following the deadly attacks, Obama departed for a Las Vegas campaign rally.

John Kerry, Jihad Coddler

The myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist never dies. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is the latest Obama administration official to peddle this odious narrative. Cue John Lennon's cloying "Imagine," don your plaid pajamas, and curl up with a warm cup of deadly naivete.

While meeting with Catholic Church officials at the Vatican in Rome on Monday, Kerry expounded on their "huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism or even the root cause of the disenfranchisement of millions of people on this planet." In other words: If only every al-Qaida and Taliban recruit had a fraction of Kerry's $200 million fortune, they'd all be frolicking peacefully with infidels on jet skis sporting "Coexist" bumper stickers.
This wasn't a one-off. Kerry delivered a similar Kumbaya-style discourse at the Global Counterterrorism Forum last fall: "Getting this right isn't just about taking terrorists off the street. It's about providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment." Naturally, the Foggy Bottom apple doesn't fall far from the Pennsylvania Avenue terror-excusing tree. President Obama subscribes to the very same "midnight basketball" theory of counterterrorism. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Obama asserted that jihad "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."
The chronic cluelessness of the root-cause apologists of jihad never ceases to amaze. Britain's MI5 reported in 2011 that two-thirds of the U.K's jihad suspects were from middle-class backgrounds, "showing there is no simplistic relationship between poverty and involvement in Islamist extremism." Thorough reviews of the empirical evidence shows, as the RAND Corporation reported, that "(t)errorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds."

Obamacare Is a Political Disaster for Democrats

We should not lose The Headline in the day-to-day headlines. This is big history, not small. The ObamaCare rollout is a disaster for the White House, not a problem or a challenge or an embarrassment, not a gaffe or a bad few weeks. It is a political disaster, and the only question is whether it is partially recoverable, meaning the system can be made to work in a generally satisfactory way in the next few weeks. But—it has to be repeated—they had 3½ years after passage of the Affordable Care Act to make the program into something the American people could register for and feel they were benefiting from. Three and a half years! They had a long-declared start date: It would all go live Oct. 1, 2013, and everyone in the government, every contractor and consultant, knew it. The president put the meaning of his presidency into the program—it informally carries his name, it is his brand. It was unveiled with great fanfare, and it didn't work. For almost anybody. Crashed systems, frozen screens, phone registration that prompted you back to the site that sent you to the 800 number, like a high-tech Möbius strip.

Obama’s newest gaffe: Bungles name of the Dominican Republic

Verbal gaffes may have been fodder for the media when George W. Bush was president, but you probably didn’t hear about the one President Obama made Thursday.
During his speech on creating higher-education opportunities for low-income students, Obama incorrectly introduced a student from the Dominican Republic, and The Washington Free Beacon caught the blunder.
“There he is,” Obama says in the video. “Good-looking young guy right here. Could not speak a word of English when he moved to the United States from the Dominican Republican at the age of 9.”
Think he’s got Republicans on the brain?
Watch Obama’s gaffe here via The Washington Free Beacon:

Nancy Pelosi: ‘‘Waiting hours longer in the emergency room will allow you to make new friends!’’

Dear Fellow Americans,

Among the many fears people are expressing about the Affordable Care Act is the supposed extra hours it will force people to spend if they have the misfortune of having to go to hospital emergency rooms.

Critics claim that those enrolled in “Obamacare” (a term I personally dislike but have to use, or else the commoners out there won’t know what I’m speaking about) will be forced to sit even longer

in hospital emergency care rooms due to doctors being forced out of the profession, thereby leaving emergency rooms understaffed, and so forcing people to overwhelm them with minor ailments, compounding insurance companies with tons of more red tape that will cause them to reject patients to regular doctors’ and specialists’ offices much more than ever. And don’t forget the people now forced or choosing to join Medicaid that should never be on it, which will clog up emergency rooms, as the E.R.s will become as common to them as visiting their pharmacies for a simple cold.

Naysayers claim the ACA will turn our nation’s emergency rooms into those similar to Europe’s, where people can sit all day in understaffed hospitals as they wait to get their feverish illnesses addressed, or their broken limbs fixed, their convulsions stopped, that knife removed from their skulls, or their fingers reattached.

I doubt such dire fears will ever come true here. But for argument’s sake let us presume I am wrong (which I never am) and that ''Obamacare'' will force Americans to wait in emergency rooms longer than they already do. In that case, has it ever occurred to people the great new friends that can be made while waiting for hours in abject misery alongside others also in abject pain and misery?

Obama to Dems: I'll act with or without Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has told Senate Democrats he plans to use his executive authority to act in 2014 when Congress stands in his way.

Obama met with senators from his own party Wednesday at the White House. The White House says Obama and Democrats discussed proposals to raise the minimum wage and efforts to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul. Education initiatives and jobs measures were also on the agenda.

The White House says Obama wants to work with Congress to make progress, but will also act on his own to get things done.

The meeting was the first such session of 2014 and comes two weeks before Obama is set to deliver his State of the Union address.

The senators left the White House without speaking to reporters.

15 More Benghazi-Related Victims Murdered: Does it Matter Now Hillary?

Wednesday the Senate finally made a statement about Benghazi. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee has found that the State Department could have likely prevented the death of four Americans in Benghazi if they would not have ignored the intelligence reports and pleas for assistance from our diplomatic mission. The findings are that increased security was needed. USA Today reports:

Congressional Democrats for the first time joined the GOP to condemn the State Department for refusing security measures they say could have prevented the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi.

The report, worked on for months and released Wednesday by a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee, also says 15 people in Libya who have tried to help the FBI investigate the murders have been killed.

15 persons in Libya who were attempting to cooperate with the FBI investigation are now dead. Isn’t that convenient?

Does it matter now Mrs. Clinton?

I have to wonder how intelligent our Intelligence Committee really is, because alternative media seems to be far beyond what these Senators are finding. Here’s another thought. Maybe they aren’t that stupid but they think that we are.

Not only did we need more security, the security we hired was grounds for treason. How many Americans know that our State Department hired a group called the February 17th Martyr’s Brigade to defend the diplomatic mission?

You didn’t know that? And why should you care?

Because the February 17th Martyr’s Brigade is al Qaeda. Why on earth would you hire the enemy to defend against itself? This is just one of many Benghazi facts that are not being reported in the American press, but let’s focus on these 15 unfortunate souls who tried to help the FBI.

What does it matter?

They probably weren’t Americans so why should we care?

I don’t know, but how many convenient deaths does that make now for Mrs. Hillary Clinton?

If you want to see a list of 46 you can find them here. Who could forget the mysterious Vince Foster suicide or James McDougal’s convenient heart attack? There are 44 more names on that list. If you want to dig really deep inside the deaths of many of these people you can visit a site called Arkancide.

Dropping Like Flies: Third House Dem in Three Days Calls it Quits

In what is viewed as a rush to the exits in the face of the Obamacare disaster and the Obama scandal machine bleeding into the 2014 mid-term elections, three prominent democrats in the U.S. Congress have announced their retirement this week.


On Monday, 40-year Capitol Hill veteran and Pelosi Democrat, George Miller (D-CA) called it quits. Miller, 68, has been in the House since 1974, the year of Watergate. Miller stated that he looked “forward to one last year in Congress, fighting the good fight and then working in new venues on the issues that have inspired me.” Miller also indicated that he was especially proud of” passage of national health care reform.”

On Tuesday, New York Democrat Bill Owens pulled the plug. Owens was vague in his excuse, stating that, “It is time for me to undertake new endeavors and spend more time with my family.” Owens came into office in 2009 after winning the well-publicized NY-23 special election. In 2012, Owens won re-election in the newly formed 21st congressional district, winning against Republican Matt Doheny by only two percentage points, 50% to 48%.

Then on Wednesday, Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA)
jumped shipannounced his retirement. Moran explained little, simply stating “it’s time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next challenge.” Moran is seen as one of the most abrasive and antagonistic members of Congress. The leftist Moran has been no stranger to his own scandals, or as Roll Call reported, “his professional accomplishments were sometimes overshadowed by personal scandals.”
