Sometimes in some situations the best thing to do is to do nothing. Think of the treasure and blood Americans would have saved if Bush 43 had held firm against the Military Industrial Complex and its bankers of the Money Industrial Complex and avoided trapsing into Iraq and Afghanistan to let them know "that oil belongs to the Iraqi people!", and those poppies belong to the CIA?
President Obama is trying to walk that dog back with his new strategery in dealing with the 8th century goatherds of the ME. When rival goatherds wish to play kickball using a new freshly severed head from the other guys team, it is best to keep as far out of that rivalry as humanly possible. Poor pressman Foley got caught up in the games and became an unwilling donor, with his contribution forgotten by the gameskeepers before his body fell headless to the dusty carpet and his gallon and a half of blood made the stain marking his demise.
What of the oil? Why what is to become of the oil? Prices will plummet when it falls to ISIS because they will sell for cheap, as the comrades from ISIS are not currently members in good standing with OPEC. In fact from what I can gather with the chantings coming forth from our allies in Saud, the ISIS rabble have their sights set on these golden plutocrats and their fortunes.
Timing is bad for these potentates. The US has gone and got its own secure oil supplies in spite of a governmental policy that was trying to restrict this by all means. Now the dollar and our government is at risk should the ISIS folkes agree to take the Chinese currency as a means of trade and rebuke the greenback which should be henceforth called the greenie, since ours is the strongest desire to make the environment cleaner and greener.
The boys at the Federal Reserve Bank are doing their level best by printing all the money Obama and Co can spend, but it is not making the planet more habitable, it is just used to enrich more of the fabulously rich insiders.
Ron Paul, the Libertarian, spilled the beans on his C Span interview last night when he stated the obvious. The government is out to benefit the government, and the people are viewed with derision and as problems. Not a good attitude for our civil servants to entertain.
Governments are like dogs. If it bites the hand that feeds it, is should be retrained or if that fails it should be euthanized and a new puppy obtained one that is mindful and happy to comply with the master.
A bad dog like bad government is not worth the time, effort, or money to retrain when pups are so plentiful and pups willing to go into government are so many. Our government is not house broken, but it is broken. The corruption of the various departments, and using the IRS against the house is like a pit bull in a pre-school. Something is wrong when the powers have to arm themselves against their own people. This is a sign they know they are over the line.
I do not know what the next dog will be like, but I suspect it will not be a black and white stray, but will be more likely a full blue blood white like Canklee Clinton, or Jeb Bush, or a solid black like Ben Carson MD.
That poodle in the white house may be making the right choice in dealing with ISIS as long as they do not cross the southern border and start playing lop-a-head at our shopping malls or playgrounds.
Let the struggle in the ME play out. Someone will win, let us just keep off the playing field until we have some skin in the game.
