Democrats Sad Cycle of Failure

Liberals used to delight in pointing out how stupid and out of touch George W. Bush was supposed to be yet somehow he knew the danger that we're facing now from an Iraq that was abandoned to soon.
Yet they still believe that rainbows and unicorn farts is the best way to deal with the savagery and brutality of ISIS/ISIL
I can't think of any democrat president or adminstration that has left office with the world in better shape than it was when they began.
Between JFK abandoning fighters at the Bay of Pigs, Johnson and McNamara escalating Vietnam then refusing to try and win the war to Carter sitting on his hands while Iran fell to the Islamic revolution. Add to that Clinton's failed "humanitarian" mission in Mogadishu and sending cruise missiles to empty tents and the failure of liberal/progressive foreign policy becomes glaring.
It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.....democrats are the Keystone cops of foreign affairs.....with a body count.
History will not be kind to Obama for his failure to heed the advice of those before him.

Recycling Jimmy Carter

Sometimes I think that whatever Obama is paying his advisers it's obviously to much.
The parallels between Obama and Jimmy Carter become more appaernt every day.

Jimmy Carter was a do nothing president who's foreign policy was basically "hands off" whatever will be will be.
He stood by and watched the Iranian revolution unfold allowing 52 U.S. diplomats to be held as hostages in Iran.
That was after he sat back and did nothing to temper run away inflation, unemployment and rising energy costs to cripple this country.
Towards the end of his first term in office he finally ordered the U.S. military to attempt a rescue of the Iranian hostages to try and bolster his sagging poll numbers because he knew the American public was getting tired of the "malaise" he inflicted on us.
Like everything else the peanut farmer touched it was a disaster.

Now after the beheading of an American reporter,James Foley, it comes out that Obama ordered a rescue operation to liberate him and other hostages.
It failed.
Obviously Obama's advisers don't pay much attention to history. Comparing these two "rescue" operations is a no brainer and just confirms the notion that Obama is at least as bad if not worse than Jimmy Carter. The sad part is that it only took one term to realize what a failure Carter was, we have to suffer through 2 terms to get it about Obama.

Iran Makes a Fool Out of Democrats ....Again

Shades of Jimmy Carter, Obama tries to distract the country from his and the democrats dismal destruction of health care by claiming the Iranians are going to be honest about their nuclear program.
Really guys they are totally going to do it!!!

Iran, world powers reach historic nuclear deal

GENEVA — Iran and six major powers agreed early Sunday on a historic deal that freezes key parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for temporary relief on some economic sanctions.
The agreement, sealed at a 3 a.m. signing ceremony in Geneva’s Palace of Nations, requires Iran to halt or scale back parts of its nuclear infrastructure, the first such pause in more than a decade.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif hailed the deal, which was reached after four days of hard bargaining, including an eleventh-hour intervention by Secretary of State John F. Kerry and foreign ministers from Europe, Russia and China.
“It is important that we all of us see the opportunity to end an unnecessary crisis and open new horizons based on respect, based on the rights of the Iranian people and removing any doubts about the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program,” Zarif told reporters in English. “This is a process of attempting to restore confidence.”~snip!

What a load of horse shit.
I was alive and watched Jimmy Carter's humiliation for 444 days while the Iranian Ayatollahs laughed their asses off at the pathetic attempts by Carters libtard administration to negotiate the release of the embassy personnel.
It was a cluster f*ck of the highest order that exposed the impotence of sissy liberals when it comes to negotiating.
There is no doubt in my mind that whatever Obama and John (lurch) Kerry agreed to is a watered down concession to the Iranians.
Obama and his regime are the legacy of Jimmy Carter.

Syria and an Echo from the Past

DISH had one of their "free weekends" with HBO and some other movie channel this weekend and one of the movies they showed was "ARGO". Ben Afflecks treatment of the story behind the "Canadian Caper", the rescue of 6 Americans from Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis which lasted for 444 days. ( November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981)

I'd been meaning to watch it for some time but never got around to renting it from Amazon so it was a pleasant surprise to see it offered for free over the weekend.
There seems to be some controversy over several things in the movie from Affleck in the starring role, he's not hispanic don't you know, to the stereotypical portrayal of Iranians in the film.
But there seems to not be a whole lot of discussion about the flaccid response from a spineless democrat in office at the time.
Jimmy Carter.
Lets face it old Jimmy allowed Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini to show the world how impotent and weak he was for 444 days costing him a second term and the election of Ronald Reagan.
Yeah sure he attempted a rescue but it failed costing the lives of 8 servicemen and a couple of aircraft pretty much topping the cake of Carters malfeasance and incompetence.

Why this is important to think about is because we have another milquetoast wannabe in office rattling sabres over Syria. A ideological Carter clone. The difference this time is instead of sitting back and doing nothing Obama wants to strike just enough not to get laughed at, in other words he's looking to simply save face.

The last thing this country needs is to enter another crisis on the world stage with another weak and feckless leader. The history should be plain to anyone with a thinking brain.

On the plus side ARGO did remind me of some of the cool music of the late 70's.
