Turkey has requested patriot missiles to defend its border
with Syria from “spillovers” of the internal conflict there. Even
if NATO quickly approves Turkey's request for the deployment of Patriot
missiles on its border with Syria, selecting sites for the air defense
batteries and getting them there means they probably wouldn't be operational
for weeks. Russia has warned against
such deployment: "We have different advice for our Turkish colleagues --
use their influence with the Syrian opposition to accelerate the start of a
political dialogue." (FOX
NEWS REPORT)
COMMENTS:
Russia backs both Syrian President Assad and the Iranian
regime. Turkey has every right to defend
itself against attacks from outside its borders, inadvertent or not. Turkey is also edging away from its
relationship with the U.S., which leaves us with Israel being our own firm ally
in the entire Middle East. Even the
freed Iraqis are rapidly moving away from us.
We can no longer realistically bury our heads in the sand and pretend
that everything is hunky dory over there.
If Israel falls, then we are soon going to be faced with war… us versus
Russia, China and the entire Middle East.
In my opinion, Obama either doesn’t understand those basic facts or he just
doesn’t care.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why is Susan Rice picking Thanksgiving Day weekend to
come out and talk about her lies on September 14th about the
Benghazi attack? (Valerie ~ Salem, OR)
A. Obama has made it abundantly clear that Susan Rice will
be his next Secretary of State, come hell or high water. The only plausible explanation for her
prior statements is that she was relying on information provided to her. Petraeus came out and said his CIA Talking
Points memo pointed to Al Qaeda as the cause for the Benghazi Massacre, so the
spin had to be that the Talking Points were altered sometime after Petraeus
wrote them. Director of National
Intelligence Clapper said he didn’t do it, so that left someone in the White
House, which was not an acceptable alternative either. With pressure mounting, Clapper changed his
story and said he made the changes; he’s taking the fall, undoubtedly with a gun pointed to his head. That opens the door for Rice to come forward
herself and say that her statements were based on information provided to
her. Now, Obama has made this into a
challenge, a vendetta; he will have
his way. This weekend was picked because Congress is out of town on holiday and the Republicans won't be able to organize a quick and vocal response. If the Republicans don’t
promptly cave in, look for Clinton to resign early, by mid-December, and for Obama
to appoint Rice as an “emergency recess appointment.” He will
win and he doesn’t care who thinks what about the way he wins.
Q. Do you think it will ever happen that they take away the
right for citizens to own guns? (Vic ~
Sacramento, CA)
A. If it is ever going to happen, it will happen within the
next four years. And I do not think gun-owning Americans are going to give them up willingly. I frankly do not personally wish to be put
into the position of having to decide whether or not to shoot some fellow American who is
trying to take my guns from me under Obama's orders.
Q. How do you feel about the argument over whether or not a
company should be required to provide and pay for insurance that covers abortions and abortion pills?
(Francisco ~ Whittier, CA)
A. I do not believe in abortion as a birth control
measure. I believe that regardless of
what human law says, whenever a child
is aborted a human soul is denied the right to physical life. I do believe in and subscribe to abortion
where the life of the mother is in jeopardy, (rare), rape or incest. With those exceptions, I do not believe the
government should be using my tax money to fund abortions or abortion pills and
I do not believe I should be required to provide my employees with it,
either. Employees have every right to
choose whether or not to work for me based on the pay and benefits I
provide. The decision by a Judge to
force an employer to pay for such insurance against their religious beliefs is
direct religious persecution.
