Putin Calls Kerry a Liar, Obama Shakes Putin's Hand

President Obama shook hands with Vladimir Putin upon his arrival in Russia for the G 20 Summit. Although I think that sounds like a terrible thing to do in light of the fact that Putin called Secretary of State, John Kerry, a liar, at least Obama didn't bow down to him like he did with Saudi King Abdullah. Putin also made it clear that if we strike Syria, Russia will react on Syria's behalf. To me, that sounds like a threat. So what did Obama do--he shook Putin's hand.

The Chinese officials said that if we attack Syria, it will effect the global economy and if that happens, we will no longer be able to choose an item from column C on the Family of Three Menu. However, the lobster Cantonese will still be available at an increased price. Care for tea?


On August 20, 2012, Obama stated clearly that if chemical weapons are to be used on Syria's people, he is drawing a red line. He said it--the speech is on video. Now he's walking his un-TelePrompted words back and saying that he never said that--he said the world has drawn a red line against the Assad atrocity. This is a president who lacks any shred of courage, who uses polls to make himself sound courageous, who says anything he thinks will help him politically, and then has the audacity of dope to claim he didn't say it. And then there are liberals who will back him up with their own line of bull to attest to whatever Obama says.

Syria isn't about our moral obligations to a nation killing their people with chemical weapons. If it was about that, we'd have gone in six months ago. If it wasn't a political move on Obama's part, he would have done what he always did in the past and circumvented the Constitutional obligation to go to Congress immediately. If he cared about atrocities, the way it was committed wouldn't have mattered--gas or ballistics both kill people and about 120,000 were murdered with the latter atrocity. 

Rebels with a religious jihad cause

And for senators to go along with Obama because he's the president isn't a good enough reason to risk the grave consequences this action can incur. When a nation fires missiles at another sovereign nation, that's a damned war and I don't care what anyone says. If the United States is not in immediate danger, then Congress must approve bellicose action. This isn't Obama's call--it's our Founding Fathers' call. But even worse than this, is the fact that we don't know the facts. We know that many of the rebels are al Qaeda

There is no strategy (unless Obama really wants Congress to vote "no" and get his butt out of this mess so he can lay it on them), and we don't know who we would really be helping by helping the rebels. I believe that most of the rebels are jihadists--I don't believe Obama's video evidence any more than I believed the "Benghazi Video."

The latest word is that the US might attack Syria by air. How messed up is that? This is an act of war and there will be repercussions--I can almost guarantee it.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
