No jokes now, folks. It’s zero flak time.
Two incidents of note to pour some cold water on my otherwise demented sense of humor:
- The FBI is investigating a plot to detonate explosives in mass transit systems. They’re concerned because one of the suspects they have in custody may have been trained to deal with explosives, and is not part of the less-adept sorts they’ve previously encountered. Fortunately, Obama will have all this sorted out as soon as his union buddies quit squabbling over who does security.
- General McChrystal, the general in charge of the effort in Afghanistan, threatened to resign if enough resources weren’t given to him to win there. This after Obama’s position that “Afghanistan was the real war” became something along the lines of “let’s think about it”.
The funny stops at the national defense. Obama’s not up to the task of anything but socialism, and now there’s a real problem. He’s nowhere near up to the task of defending the country, unless we can torque his massive case of narcissism enough to insure he decides our security is in his best interest.
It’s going to be a wild 3 1/2 more years. We’ll all get to live in interesting times.
