The Ulsterman ReportBoth Politico and the Associated Press just released scathing critiques of the much hyped but largely contradicting Barack Obama speech on Syria, including the accusation that what America really saw was two completely different presidents speaking at the same time…
Here’s an excerpt from the Associated Press, which basically calls out Obama for lying to the American people:
OBAMA: “We know the Assad regime was responsible…. The facts cannot be denied.”
THE FACTS: The Obama administration has not laid out proof Assad was behind the attack.
The administration has citedsatellite imagery and communications intercepts, backed by social media and intelligence reports from sources in Syria, as the basis for blaming the Assad government. But the only evidence the administration has made public is a collection of videos it has verified of the victims. The videos do not demonstrate who launched the attacks.
Administration officials have not shared the satellite imagery they say showsrockets and artillery fire leaving government-held areas and landing in 12 rebel-held neighborhoods outside Damascus where chemical attacks were reported. Nor have they shared transcripts of the Syrian officials allegedly warning units to ready gas masks or discussing how to handle U.N. investigators after it happened.
The White House has declined to explain where it came up with the figure of at least 1,429 dead, including 400 children — a figure far higher thanestimates by nongovernmental agencies such as the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has counted only victims identified by name, with a current total of 502. In his remarks, Obama more generally accused Assad’s forces of gassing to death “over 1,000 people, including hundreds of children.” LINK
An even tougher rebuke came from the normally Obama loving Politico, which describes Barack Obama as two completely different people. (Lame Cherry readers will certainly recognize that take on the Man Calling Himself Obama)
Two weeks of zig-zag foreign policy by President Barack Obama — marching to war one moment, clinging desperately to diplomacy the next — culminated Tuesday night, appropriately enough, in a zig-zag address to the nation that did little to clarify what will come next in the Syria crisis but shined a glaring hot light on the debate in the president’s own mind. …
Zag finished the sentence with a jeering reminder: “But chemical weapons were still used by the Assad regime.”
This led to perhaps the most disingenuous line uttered by either Zig or Zag in the 16-minute speech, with the president claiming that he had asked Congress to postpone the vote that he earlier requested authorizing use of military force in Syria in order to let the latest diplomatic moves play out. But just a minute earlier he had asserted that a main reason diplomacy was gaining traction was because of the “credible threat of U.S. military action.” Presumably, any further diplomacy would be even more effective if Congress sent a message that it was giving Obama all options to act if the talks fail. The more plausible rationale for congressional delay is that the administration would lose the vote if it took place now. LINK
This proves it, the Talmudic Jews still own negro slaves…
This POS communist is lying his way into an early grave.
That’s about the ONLY way to end his lying.
Either that, or cut out his lying tongue.
You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife. Gassing women and children is bad….oh good golly the children. But blowing up women and children with hellfire missiles fired from drones is somehow ok. It’s obvious….gassing is killing kids….blowing them up is “collateral damage.” So somehow there is killing through gas….and then there is a nice pillowfight through explosions.
