For over a
year we have heard the Obama Regime make one strong but ineffective statement
on Syria after another. Rather than take the lead and take a real stand that
the world will respect, our leadership in Washington has kicked the ball down
the road and not taken care of an issue that is a real national defense crisis
for America…FOR ALL OF US!!
Tonight word
has come out of Damascus (the capital of Syria) saying that Syrian President
Assad has armed warheads with weaponized Sarin gas. For those who do not know,
Sarin gas is one of the scariest chemical weapons ever created by man. It is
500 times more deadly than Cyanide and can kill a man in less than ONE MINUTE!
That’s
right, for over a year we have drawn lines in the sand, attempted to set up
various sanctions that the UN Security Council has vetoed, and accomplished
exactly NOTHING on this issue. And when I say we, I mean the Obama Administration
including Secretary of State Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
Now, the
leadership of the flailing Syrian government has armed their troops with one of
the deadliest substances ever created. This regime has been involved in
terrorism throughout the Middle East and the world so it is not out of the
realm of possibility that it could use these weapons as a last strike against
any and all of Assad’s former allies and enemies including those in Lebanon, Israel,
Jordan, Turkey as well as any number of other nearby targets. But while the use
of these weapons is unconscionable to think of, what might be worse is who
could get a hold of the unused cache of Sarin weapons that might be left over
following the end of this war.
Think this
is an unreal fear to have, well consider this; during the Libyan civil war
there were multitudes of weapons given to Libyan rebels and where are they now?
I don’t know, you don’t know, and guess what, no one else knows either –
including the Obama Administration. So once the Syrian civil war is over and
these Sarin weapons are left outstanding, anyone have any idea whose hands they
might end up in? Neither does anyone else.
The only
difference between me and the government is I think Americans should know about
it and the Obama administration wants to keeps it as hidden as possible, “Nothing
here to see….Move along!!”
This is one
of the times when the U.S. Military is needed to be the “Big Stick” President Roosevelt
talked about. Not to end another county’s civil war, but to keep Americans
safe. We don’t need another failed nation-building project, we need to show the
world that when we “Speak Softly” and say simmer down that’s what we mean and
that any perceived threat will bring out the “Big Stick!”
God Speed to
our Service Members,
