The old President Obama would have written this Jon Stewart skit

[egbertowillies]

What happened to the thoughtful policy of “Don’t do stupid stuff”? President Obama was great when he used his calm oratory skills to show the ineptitude of a media questioning his cautiousness on ISIS / ISIL.

We have now officially been conned into war. At this point it does not matter what the President says, the ball is rolling and turning back now would be difficult. When the president used Yemen and Somalia as the counter terrorism example, the new pseudo war template, it signaled that he would accept the perpetual engagement, the perpetual war mantra the United States has been on for decades.

The Jon Stewart Daily Show video skit is something the old President Obama could have written. Most of the fluff was taken out to illustrate the seriousness of the piece. It explains the “Don’t do stupid stuff” tenet. Most importantly are the final words Jon Stewart articulated. The President have said them in many different forms in many past foreign policy speeches.

1. I know...

it's sad. 2 things: I think Pres. Obama is going to "wake up" at some point and hopefully, change direction. OR (and this is obvious) the "intelligence" he is getting is so threatening to Americans he had no choice.

The loss of the the 2 journalists is HORRIFIC. But, to put at risk and aim to kill so many more, especially including innocents... doesn't make sense.

2. The next phony, pseudo "reason" to kill 1000's more is: they made mean faces at us!!!

Bullsh!t
