NO BOMBA OBAMA

NO BOMBA OBAMA

There appears to have been no education gained from our experiences in Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan. When the United States takes it upon itself to interfere militarily in places where it does not belong, unintended consequences are the inevitable result leading to the loss of life and treasure.

Our allies and our Congress do not seem to be very interested in backing the President's vow to strike Syria for having crossed his ill-advised red line when it comes to chemical weapons. In fact, it is not clear that all of these weapons of mass destruction came from the brutal Assad. The unsavory mix of rebels are certainly not the kind of people you would invite to dinner.

President Obama has gone out of his way to place himself between a rock and a hard place. Let us hope that he does not place ego and personal credibility above common sense. For those of us where education has taken place, we should make it known to the struggling commander-in-chief: NO BOMBA, OBAMA.
