I.S.I.S. has reportedly burned to death 50 civilians in
Iraq’s violence-plagued western province of al-Anbar, in a brutal execution
similar to the one previously carried out on a Jordanian pilot. Sources
said the men were killed in the town of Hit, located about 140 kilometers (85
miles) west of the capital of Baghdad.
The 50 were evidently marched into one common cage before being burned
to death.
COMMENTS:
This news comes as Obama has just wrapped up a three-day
smiley-faced conference on countering "global radical extremism," to which no one
from law enforcement, the Pentagon, the FBI or the DHS was invited to
attend. When are we Americans going to
do something about the worst attack on humanity since Hitler? When are we going to do something about the resident jackass on Pennsylvania Avenue?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is there any update on BP’s gulf oil spill of five years
ago? (Miles ~ Florissant, MO)
A. Dead dolphins continue to wash up on gulf shores. BP, faced with a $13.7 billion fine, recently tried to
get a federal judge to reduce that fine, without success. There is absolutely no word on what happened
to that big glob of oil and tar that resulted from the spill. Enjoy your New Orleans shrimp.
Q. Do you believe Obama loves America? (Jason ~ Lancaster, PA)
A. Obama loves absolutely no one or anything except himself
and his golf clubs.
Q. I don’t understand why Obama is announcing strategy by
saying in advance that we are going to attack Mosul on such and such a
date. (Wendy ~ Elko, NV)
A. That’s not strategy.
Strategy is when you determine the overall policy and objectives of
conducting a war. Methods or procedures are determined by the military commanders
to meet the strategic objectives. The attack on
Mosul is a method. Neither one should be
conveyed to the enemy in advance. In
this case, saying we’re going to go after I.S.I.S. in the Spring telegraphs to
them that they can do as they please in Mosul until that time. They can build defensive traps, for
example. In the spring, they can vamoose
into the desert sands or they can bring in thousands of more combatants and
artillery. There are two reasons for announcing in advance what you are going
to do: (1) to allow the enemy to take steps to reduce casualties by reinforcing
their positions or by getting out of town, and (2) because you are stupid
enough to think that the enemy will not take advantage of the information.
