It's Another Visit From the Screw Up Fairy Thing

Dear America,

"Ahhh...I see the screw up fairy 
has visited us again"

anonymous

i was waiting for a sign.

something

anything

and then....

In the words of our president, swiped off the pages of POLITICO -- we see, "no apologies;"  boom.

"We saw an opportunity
and we seized it.
And I make no apologies for that."

“I’m never surprised 
by controversies that are whipped up in Washington...
that's par for the course."

" 'We have a basic principle: 
we do not leave anybody 
wearing the American uniform 
 behind,' 
Obama said, 
repeating the defense 
he offered earlier in the week."

"I make absolutely 
no apologies for making sure that 
we get back a young man 
to his parents 
and that the American people 
understand
 that this is somebody’s child. 
And that we don’t condition 
whether or not 
we make the effort 
to try to get them back,"

For the whole read, go here.

YOU, sir, have got to be kidding me.

No, better still and under par for the course, maybe the American people should order you this tee shirt to wear on your next round of golf:

"I've learned so much 
from my mistakes.  
I think I'll make 
a few more."
anonymous

indeed.

How in bloody hell do you double down on this?

Have you read the headlines?

Have you not spoken with any of your advisors?

Have you no shame?

Intelligence reports tell us (apparently, all at the same time) that at least six troops died looking for Bergdahl -- a soldier and quite possibly a traitor -- who walked off his post (apparently, more than once).

Your own congress denied the approval of the release of these Gitmo detainees for his exchange (apparently, more than once) dating back to 2012; but more important, were NEVER consulted on this done deal, at the costly ratio of five to one.

What do you have to say to the parents of the those who actually died?  If you had a son,  could you relate -- would any of these guys appear to matter to you?

Here's an account to lose your daily MR for -- from a few days ago on The Daily Beast.  Feeling any pangs in the pit of your stomach yet?

The thing is, Mr. President -- this "soldier" was never placed on the POW list, was he; and you knew that.  I mean, come on, you are the president after all; this kind of inside intelligence is routine and just par for the course on any given day, right?

As president -- you knew the details were sketchy, at best; and you did it anyway?


And the five detainees, now in Qatar?

Scott free; skipping through the dusty daisies with nothing left to do but sit out a year?  Really?  

Who's the traitor now?

What about our soldier in Mexico?  Or is he the exchange -- paying the ultimate sacrifice sitting in a Mexican jail for the rest of his life -- for the hundreds, no hundreds of thousands, of children being allowed to not only cross the border into the United States, but now get room and board on the tax payer dime?  Costing...what?

Next thing you know, we will come to find out an entire transit system -- probably a high speed rail fueled entirely by solar energy and windmills -- has been set up south of the border just to transport the children from every nook and cranny of Mexico and South America, in order to flood the system, create the chaos, to force feed immigration reform under duress, under the boot, under the direction of an administration ripe with corruption and deceit.

...to which Obama will respond something like, "well golly, gosh, gosh, I found out about it when you all did."  Or no -- he'll say -- "yes.  yes we did. and I make no apologies for it...every child deserves to be raised by their loving parents, and every loving parent deserves to have their child by their side...it's just the right thing to do."

"Since Oct. 1, U.S. customs agents caught 47,017 children along the southwest border, an eye-popping 92% increase in the last fiscal year."

 — Hundreds of migrant children will be sheltered at a naval facility in California amid a spike in the number of minors caught crossing the border alone, authorities said Tuesday...

Children will be flown to the Port Hueneme site from other shelters while being cleared for transfer to sponsors, said Laura Goulding, a spokeswoman for the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Health and Human Services Department. They will receive English language instruction, arts and crafts activities, and recreation at the shelter, she said.

Since when does our Health and Human Services Department do all this?  And such a twisted turn of Department of Defense resources, no? Port Hueneme was refurbished in 2007 to house Navy reservists before heading off to Afghanistan...

Curious -- did congress approve of this re-allocation of government property?  Or was this just covered under the cover of darkness within the pages of the Affordable Care Act (just a little something something nobody bothered to read)   -- at the discretion of Kathleen Sebelius, under the direction of Obama, before making the unfortunate human sacrifice of the administration.  Oh the end justifies the means, doesn't it, Kathleen.

wonderful use of no child left behind.


"I've learned so much 
from my mistakes.  
I think I'll make 
a few more."

yup.
double downed on that one.

Why?

This -- from TIME:

Asked whether the Taliban would be inspired by the exchange to kidnap others, he laughed. “Definitely,” he says. “It’s better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird.”

Did the president happen to think about all those left behind -- like behind behind --  like behind enemy lines behind?  The parents of all those left behind deserve their children to come home safe and sound, too.  In spite of the apparent draw down of troops with every intention to end the endless war come the end of the year -- today, we are still a nation at war, for gitmo jiminy sakes.

And what is wrong with you, Lindsay Graham?  Impeachment if he tries to do it again?  Are you for real?  How about beginning impeachment proceedings right now?  But wait a minute, don't look now, Lindsay, for you may just get that chance right quick...next up for consideration for good conduct well served, Fouzi Khalid Abdullah al-Awda.   Let the games begin.

Hope and Change...not...here's another angle:

One of the deadliest and most violent Islamic terrorist organizations is growing exponentially in Syria and Iraq, taking over large swaths of territory and turning the region into a de facto state controlled by extremists whose ultimate goal is a pro-emirate Middle East, U.S. officials told TheBlaze...

As Syria enters its fourth year of civil war with more than 162,000 casualties, there is growing concern that failure to properly address the issue has given ISIL time to establish itself, including capabilities to recruit Americans and Europeans far from its home base in the Middle East. President Barack Obama announced last month that the administration will be sending more trainers and equipment to members of the Free Syrian Army that have disavowed extremist groups.

Obama’s former ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, has been highly critical of the policy. In an interview with PBS on Tuesday, Ford said Obama’s hesitancy to aid moderate rebel fighters in the beginning of the conflict has resulted in increased threats to the United States and a loss of allies, so much so that he can “no longer defend the policy.”


If only the situation remained remotely serious, right?

Let's go back to the beginning -- another kind of beginning, shall we?  Picture 2009.

For a recap worthy of your time, let me direct you to The Heritage Foundation.  By  and 

Barack Obama's Top 10 Apologies: How the President Has Humiliated a Superpower


I know.  I hear you...what difference, at this point, does it make?  Besides, it's a lot to read.

Well,  let me tell you --
it means, we should have seen the screw up fairy coming a long, long time ago, albeit far, far away in the mind of the common man.

we are a trusting lot. aren't we now...  like sheep to the slaughter house.

Make it a Good Day, G

And you know --  some say the Bergdahl exchange occurred when it did -- and so suddenly, there was no time to get the obligatory approval from Congress -- just to distract the commoners from the VA Scandal; and that may very well be.  BUT, it also just so happens to coincide with a taking of a major holiday, by a major political/cultural commentator....Rush Limbaugh.  hmmmmm

It's a Dishonourable Terrorist Trade for a Traitor Thing

Dear America,

oh wow
let me get this straight...
the president negotiated with terrorists?

All exchange being immediately suspect and alarming -- 

America gains the return of a prisoner of war, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only soldier having been taken captive (since 2009)  -- while the terrorists, of the Haqqani Network, gain five Guantanamo Bay detainees:  Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa, and Abdul Haq Wasiq.

Oh this is rich...
As noted via Fox News --  "Under the conditions of their release, the detainees will be banned from traveling outside of Qatar for at least one year."  wonderful.

Now, just to be clear, the tally according to the Common Core scorecard:  5 to 1, advantage going to senior Taliban leaders.

And possibly something even more disconcerting just might be summed up by a couple of senior members of congress:
“Like all Americans, we celebrate the release of Sergeant Bergdahl,” California Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a joint statement. 
“However, we must carefully examine the means by which we secured his freedom. America has maintained a prohibition on negotiating with terrorists for good reason. Trading five senior Taliban leaders from detention in Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl’s release may have consequences for the rest of our forces and all Americans.
They also argued that Obama “clearly violated laws” that require him to notify Congress 30  days before any transfer of terrorists from Guantanamo Bay and to explain how the threat posed by such terrorists has been substantially mitigated.

[In light of these arrangements -- and selfishly drawing attention now to a more local matter -- maybe the marine being held a prisoner just south of the border in Mexico --  Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi -- might finally gain the Commander-in-Chief's attention to detail...probably managing to get it done, in a perfect world, without calling in Special Forces and with just one phone call...]


But back to the Bergdahl trade, here's a second round, this time from the Washington Post:

"The law requires the defense secretary to notify relevant congressional committees at least 30 days before making any transfers of prisoners, to explain the reason and to provide assurances that those released would not be in a position to reengage in activities that could threaten the United States or its interests."
As if this sleazy arrangement with our enemy could not get any more absurd, or worse, we now go to Pamela Geller -- and might I suggest you all take a deep breath first.

AWOL Traitor Traded for Taliban Terrorists: “In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful,’’ AWOL soldier’s dad said in Arabic - See more, go here.

Read the whole thing.

I will wait...

Nothing is ever what it seems under this administration...

What's next?

Here's to answering a question with a question  -- posed by Pamela Geller back in March, she begins with this:

"If the US military doesn't know better, then who are we to trust with our defense? Ourselves. Remember that."


oh it's no big deal or anything,
It's just a post outlining how our military is hiring chaplains tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Like I said, no biggie.

gosh...
all of a sudden
(but no, not really; that was more for affect; just go with it, if you will)
all of a sudden,
I'm feeling like the foundation is shaking, the walls are caving, and the earth is about to open up and swallow America whole.

This is a dark day.

I remember when Saturday's used to be nothing but fun.

Make it a Good Day, G
