Once More, Into The Breach--The US Backing The Syrian Rebels

When we remember the high moral indignation, righteous indignation, screaming crowds of demonstrators indignation, DixieChicksStandingUpForTheRight indignation, about US intervention in the Middle East, let us contemplate this modest news report from the Jerusalem Post.

We are in this Syria mess up to our ears, and have been all along. We are helping co-ordinate it, fund it, run it. The blood is flowing. A secret war has been waged in our name, with our money. This makes Iran-Contra of the 1980's look like child's play. This is the stuff of the John LeCarre novels.

And we really have no clear idea who 'The Opposition' is, except that they certainly won't be European Social Democrat types. They will be some form of Islamist cause.  They will turn their new shiny weapons against us and Israel.

There are families sending their children off to school in Tennessee today, little knowing that their eighth-grade boys and girls are slated for extinction in about 8-10 years, courtesy of the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Barack Hussein Obama.

OS heads off to the polls this morning, to vote in the local primary election.  It is heartening to see a raft of conservative candidates on the ballot, for positions ranging from school board to US Senate. OS plans to vote from the bottom up--namely voting for the individuals most likely to work to negate and undo the damage done by Obama and his Leftist allies. OS views it as insurance: Even if Himself somehow manages to recapture the White House, he faces a world in which most of the states, from school board to Senate are in the hands of people who will not offer a morsel of cooperation.

Who knows, we may yet save a few of those fourteen-year-old boys and girls yet.
