The Bomb Syria Media Blitz Begins
— andy

First, we have this:


The footage could be vital in the administration's quest to convince Congress and the American public that the U.S. must launch punitive strikes against Syria, former U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson said.

"That video will sensitize the American people that this isn't just an intervention, that this is a military strike to stop that type of atrocity," the former congressman told CNN.

Not to sound callous, but there've been something on the order of 100,000 deaths in Syria's current conflict. Certainly there are some women and kids included in that number, and even though they were killed by bullets, rockets and the like, they aren't any less dead than the ones in the video.

You could show video of a kid bleeding out from a bullet wound and it'd tug the heartstrings like a Sally Struthers infomercial, too. Yet to this day no one is arguing that the mere fact of war in Syria warrants our involvement.

The administration's argument reminds me a lot of this scene from Idiocracy:

Pvt. Joe Bowers: What *are* these electrolytes? Do you even know?

Secretary of State: They're... what they use to make Brawndo!

Pvt. Joe Bowers: But *why* do they use them to make Brawndo?

Secretary of Defense: [raises hand after a pause] Because Brawndo's got electrolytes.

Everyone: Why do we need to intervene in Syria?

Obama: Chemical weapons are a "red line".

Everyone: Why are chemical weapons a "red line"?

Kerry: Because they're the things that cause us to intervene.

And then there's this aspect of it ...


Ummm ... yeah. Spare me.

So Obama plans to follow the leaked video footage up with this:


I saw some criticism of the fact that the interviews are being taped rather than broadcast live, but, honestly, I want them to get as many takes as they need to make sure he sticks to the script. Straying from TOTUS is what got us into this mess to begin with.

And if that isn't enough for you ...


For a guy who's supposedly such a great orator, he seems to have a hard time convincing people to get behind his ideas. Of course, it isn't that the ideas suck, it's that the people who oppose them are all racists.


Or something.

21 I was lighting up the phones on Friday. (And if any of the rest of you aren't doing that, you better start up first thing on Monday morning.)

Here in Commiefornia, as you might expect, the statewide Democratic machine is frantically scrambling for some rationale to justify backing up Obama on Syria.

And, what I was told by staffers when I called was "we have to do this, because of the horrible things that we've been told in the classified briefings, that no, you can't be let in on."

So that seems to be what they're running with as a _casus belli_.

42 Note also that one of the Russian ships diverted to Syria was reported in the Russian press as carrying an unspecified "special cargo".

I have no idea if the Russkies' nomenclature has changed over the post-Cold War decades, but 1970-1980s era Soviet military terminology was such that "special weapons" was reserved to refer to chemical, biological or nuclear.

If I had to guess, I would figure it's not WMD. Putin plays an aggressive hand but not when it's that obvious.

But it might be advanced Russian triple-digit SAM systems. Those are reported to be easily capable of detecting and engaging the rather slow and old and nonstealthy U.S. Navy Tomahawk cruise missile.

The Syrians have some of that gear on hand already. Unclear how complete and/or well integrated into a working air defense network the gear is. The "special cargo" may be missing pieces of said systems that had been previously withheld.

47 My guess is that the stealthy ALCM would take out air defenses before the Tomahawks went in.I think they have a stealthy air launched but I'm not up on things like I used to be.

the Ruskies seem to still use most of the old Soviet terminology.  'special' = nuclear, chem, or biological.

72 The Middle Eastern Way of War does not involve the Westphalian nicety of letting you know who launched an attack, and every Walid, Mo and Achmed is likely to "take credit," which is to say ululate and fire an AK in the air.

We still aren't sure who the guys in the rubber boat that disabled (but we didn't lose her) the Cole supported, or whose floating mines holed the Roberts. If pressed on the issue, I'm sure some Islamic hero would claim the Brits left them there in WWI. It's how they roll. They think it's, in an old term, wily.

That is just how it is. Of course we consider it sneaky and cowardly, bu if we were not the big guys we might -- just might, mind you -- see things differently. The redcoats didn't think much of our snipers, and the U-boat was invented by a Yalie.

81 Also, in re current Russian export military technology:

Shipping containers.

Wait, what?

Shipping containers. There's a Russian military export firm, Agat, who have shoehorned several very lethal Russian missile systems into standard size steel shipping containers.

Nothing to see here:

http://tinyurl.com/mrc8b8w

Oh, shit. Where'd THOSE come from all of a sudden?

http://tinyurl.com/ldr6zgj

Indistinguishable from all the other anonymous standard shipping containers that are in constant motion, uncounted numbers of them, all through the global logistics networks day and night, 24/7/365. Container ships, trucks, trains, you name it. Plus lying around random back lots of businesses and farms everywhere.

This makes the sensor intelligence game of trying to figure out which container contains the nasty surprise into a needle-in-the-haystack proposition.

I have seen precisely zero information as to whether Syria has obtained this sort of technology. However, you can be sure that the concept is highly attractive to minor-league militaries which realize that they aren't going to win a stand-up slugging match, and that they have to rely on craftiness and camouflage and surprise.

106 ST. PETERSBURG (The Borowitz Report)—Hopes for a positive G20 summit crumbled today as President Obama blurted to Russia’s Vladimir Putin at a joint press appearance, “Everyone here thinks you’re a jackass.” The press corps appeared stunned by the uncharacteristic outburst from Mr. Obama, who then unleashed a ten-minute tirade at the stone-faced Russian President. “Look, I’m not just talking about Snowden and Syria,” Mr. Obama said. “What about Pussy Riot? What about your anti-gay laws? Total jackass moves, my friend.”

107 Good Nascar race at Richmond. Lots of Chase scenarios as about 6 drivers trying to get the last 3 spots. The Chase is Nascar's version of the playoffs. Several have to outright win to make it. Others just have to beat the other guys by a certain # of spots. So lots of drama, even in the back of the pack, some guys can make it finishing 20th, as long as the other guy finishes 26th.

We keep hearing that we (America) has to act on Syria if no one else will because red lines are sooo important and can't be crossed or else countries like Iran will not be constrained by red lines we've given to them.

Well, whats the biggest red line that's been drawn for Iran -- "no nukes for you." Is a state sponsor of terror gaining nukes on the same serious you guys level as the "international norm" of not using chem weapons. Is it greater? If we say that to respond to Syria requires military action, would that not be the same case with Iran getting its bomb?

Anyone here think that the Hussein Clown Posse is going to launch an attack on Iran when that day comes (and it will come -- Smart Power (tm) has already seen to that, and Israel can only do so much on their own)?

Yeah, I didn't think so. So why has no one (media or politicians on our side) called the HCP on their bullshit?

152 Walter Russell Mead at _The American Interest_ is hard to figure.

He's a Democrat. And voted for Obama. But spends a lot of time talking about Obama's failures, and the failure of the "blue political model" more generally.

But then we have this from Mead the other day:

"We hate to say it, but that is so dangerous that thereÂ’s a strong argument for Congress to back the Syria resolution simply to avoid trashing the credibility of the only President weÂ’ve got. ... For purposes of foreign policy, the United States will endure something like a presidential vacancy until Mr. Obama is replaced in 2017 or until he finds a way to restore his authority and prestige."

You can sense the terrible realization teetering directly over Mead's head and somehow not yet managing to register with the guy.

To wit, the realization that "a presidential vacancy" is in fact precisely what we have had ever since Obama took office.

It's a prospect that so unnerves Mead that he's blinded to the reality that it's NOT A PROSPECT. It has already come true, thanks in part to Mead himself originally backing Obama.

Restore "authority and prestige" to Obama? Obama never had those things. He presented a gloriously overinflated illusion of possessing them, a blimp-sized stage trick, and the blimp is now deflating to reveal the sad small reality.

So, Obama's is going with the No True American arguments, again.

 

 Every time he says, 'No American would..." or "Everyone knows that this is an atrocity..." or "Do it for the children," it's the No True American argument.

 

 If you downed a shot every time he said something like that, "The No True Americn' fallacy, you won't be able to keep the shot glass full, so get out those extra shot glasses, fill them up and be prepared. Of course, you'll get alcohol poisoning in about fifteen minutes...so make sure the ER is more or less empty before you start.

But, I'm talking the day that it's revealed that Iran has a (multiple) bombs. SCOAMF has set a standard. "No nukes for you."

Attack would be required. Anyone think that's gonna happen (escpecially once Iran has a nuclear means to retaliate with)? With this group in charge? Of course not.

He should be called to either guarantee such a response (which he'll never do). He'll  likely say that he doesn't deal in hypotheticals, yadda yadda.

It should help further illustrate that he'd be pretty darned flexible about which red lines he's willing to fight over... and right now, it's simply one that has made him look foolish.

Is that where "residents" get to vote, because "citizen" is such a shadowy word?

Posted by: Consiglieri at September 07, 2013 09:17 PM (XdnQT)


Yes, ALL residents. Illegals, dead voters, people getting two ballots and voting twice. All the good stuff that makes democrats squeal with glee here.


There is a reason that Washington and Oregon have had the highest democratic majorities in power for such a long time and the fact that Washington also has not had a republican governor since 1985. All-mail voting.

And it is just SO URGENT that the president get the message out ASAP about this violation that will get us into yet another war and that will either a) help a tyranny or b) help jihadists that he will present this pitch not on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (that would interrupt football) but on Tuesday.

The stark urgency of whenever. Let's just not interrupt and piss off Americans further because they already hate the policy. The Children can wait.

195 Good Nascar race at Richmond. Keselowski has to win to make the Chase. Kurt Busch just has to beat Jeff Gordon by, like, 6 spots or so to make it. Jeff Gordon's pit crew screwed up and left front right loose, went down 2 laps fixing that, but just got the lucky dog pass to get back on the lead lap. Logano, Truex, and Newman also are all fighting for those last couple spots in the Chase. Each driver has their own scenario of who they have to beat by how much.

Went to my niece's birthday party today - place was full of Madison libs and NOBODY voiced support for Barky on this. If Barky has lost Madison...

 

OT, it pains me to say this but my beloved niece, who turned 11, has become a brat due to no discipline by her (lib) parents. When she opened my gift, she liked the blouse I had bought her, but hated the matching skirt - because it had stripes. "Yuck, I hate this, I don't do stripes," she said, and flung it aside. Well, gee, I didn't know that, dear. Silence in the room. I was waiting for her parents to say something. They did not. Later on, after we sang Happy Birthday, she literally dived face first into the cake - she thought that was funny. It was funny when she did it when she turned 1. At 11 , it's not so amusing. Of course, nobody wanted a piece of that smashed up cake and yet her indulgent parents said nothing. I had this thought : God help any future husband, if she doesn't mature out of her "I'm a princess and I can do and say anything I please" mentality.

Money - the US cannot afford to have regional conflict. We're so thin and downsizing, and printing money at such a clip that inflation alone would bankrupt us. We'll need to pull out of other regions to supplement the hot conflict. I think this is what Zero meant by having more 'flexibility'.  He's ceding strategic force to Putin while trying to downsize defense spending. It also gives him 'justification' for continuing to print and spend money he doesn't have.

It IS about the money. The Saudis(OPEC) want to build a NG pipeline from Qatar through Syria, Turkey, and into Europe. This would challenge the Gazprom(Putin) monopoly.
As long as Assad is in power, this will not happen, as he is owned by Putin.
That's why Prince Bandar was meeting with Putin three weeks ago, to set-up a price-fixing deal. Vlad told him to pound sand, so the Kingdom is willing to do it the hard-way. They will  fight to the last drop of American blood to overthrow Assad.

Screw that. We've been selling SA F-15s, F-16s, and M1A tanks for years!

241 The thing is: no one is arguing that chemical weapons were NOT used; we KNOW they were. The question is two-fold: one, we don't know WHO used them, could've easily been AQ  so as to frame Assad; two, even if Assad did use them, what are OUR national interests here? We didn't do a damn thing when Saddam used them on the Kurds or when Saddam and Iran used them against each for years in the '80s/ So videos of children dying is not going to help sway people.
