As much as I hate Fox, I hate CNN even more. I burst out laughing at one point when they were talking about the Iran protests and Obama&#8217;s interview on CBS this morning.<\/p>\n<p>The news reader at one point reported, deadpan serious, that some Republicans supported Obama&#8217;s wishy-washy speech last Saturday. i waited with bated breath to see which Republicans made such a thought public. Ready? OK: <\/p>\n<p>Henry Kissinger and Pat Buchanan. <\/p>\n<p>C&#8217;mon, admit it, you chuckled, too.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Kissinger is a Republican in the narrowest definition of the word. He&#8217;s famous for detente with the Soviet Union &#8211; and arming Jimmy Carter with that massive failure. <\/p>\n<p>Can anyone tell me the last time Pat Buchanan supported any Republican foreign policy? He&#8217;s a cro-magnon-conservative &#8211; his brand of Republicanism goes back to the isolationists of World War Two. He criticized both Presidents Bush, so of course he&#8217;s going to support a policy that keeps us from being engaged in events in Iran. Hell, Buchanan thinks we should withdraw from Europe and Japan, too.<\/p>\n<p>Then CNN backed up their new buddies Kissinger and Buchanan with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2009\/POLITICS\/06\/22\/john.king.political.roundup\/index.html?iref=newssearch\">Diane Feinstein making her typical<\/a> intellectually vacant comments;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think the president has it correct. &#8230; It is very crucial as I see it that we not have our fingerprints on this. That this really be truly inspired by the Iranian people. We don&#8217;t know where this goes. And I sure wouldn&#8217;t want to be responsible for thousands of people being killed, which is a distinct possibility.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ya know what &#8211; that&#8217;s the same kind of shit that kept us racing troops back to Kuwait every time Hussein farted through the 90s. It&#8217;s the same kind of empty thought that allowed the Taliban to take over Afghanistan. It&#8217;s the same pretty words that Jimmy Carter thought during the first Iranian Revolution that lost democracy in Iran in 1979. It&#8217;s the same empty intellect that tried to force us out of Iraq in 2006-2008. It&#8217;s the same idiot ideology that has caused every problem we&#8217;ve had in the last fifty years. So let&#8217;s do it all again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t know where this goes&#8221;. Did George HW Bush know we&#8217;d cake walk through Kuwait to the gates of Baghdad? Did Ronald Reagan know for a fact that the Soviet Union would collapse in his lifetime? Did FDR know he&#8217;d defeat the both the Nazis and the Japanese in less than four years. <\/p>\n<p>Feinstein said she didn&#8217;t want to be responsible for thousands of deaths &#8211; um, she wouldn&#8217;t be responsible. It looks like thousands of Iranians are willing to die for their freedom. Don&#8217;t we owe it to them to help them try to cast off the chains of the mullahs? The same mullahs who financed the killing of US troops in Iraq and, lately, Afghanistan? Don&#8217;t we have a dog in this fight, too? <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder the world is falling down around our ears, if this is how the Democrats plan on &#8220;leading&#8221; this country for the next four years. <\/p>\n<p>And ya wanna know why? It&#8217;s so the Democrats can buy patronage with their domestic problems and not be distracted by the flames creeping closer to our shores. <\/p>\n<p>Do they think by keeping out of Iran, that&#8217;ll stop terrorism? The mullahs are already blaming us whether we&#8217;re involved or not &#8211; if we&#8217;re going to do the time, we might as well do the crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was held hostage today at a Walter Reed waiting room for about an hour (I &hellip; <a title=\"Democrat &#8220;leadership&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11906\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Democrat &#8220;leadership&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,19,47,5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-jimmy-carter","category-liberals-suck","category-politics","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11906\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
