Charles Krauthammer is FOX’s most revered ‘contributor’ in that he gets the most face time among FOX’s galaxy of left-leaning contributors. That is not to say that Krauthammer is a liberal, but whenever he fumbles the ball he does it on the goal line. It gags me to say a good word about the Chicago sewer rat, but NOT getting involved in Syria’s civil war was a good call:
Let me first note that Charley has taken to using Victoria’s pronoun “. . . we could have stopped the slaughter . . .”. Let me remind readers that I am one of “we”.
Sorry Charley, but the journalist is yet to be born who can speak for me. Had Krauthammer said “Those of who believe in making the world safe for democracy could have stopped the slaughter.” I would now be saying “Hop to go it guys. Don’t call me and mine when nation-building bites you on the ass.”
Just to be clear on this. America’s military is there to defend the nation, not start killing one side or the other as Krauthammer suggests when there is no realistic threat in sight as there was in Iraq and Vietnam.
One last word about Charley’s fall from grace. He not only fumbled the ball, he praised Johnny-gone-lately:
Finally, Taqiyya the Liar stuck his busy nose in at precisely the wrong time, in the wrong place, for the wrong reason. Americans did not create United Nations refugees, nor are they responsible for them. Bringing thousands of Muslim terrorists to this country to join up with his Muslim fifth column is about as dangerous as it gets. The Liar minded his own business in Syria’s civil war, he should have stopped there before Americans pay the price after he is out of office:
The Syrian-refugee debate has become a national embarrassment. It begins with a president, desperate to deflect attention from the collapse of his foreign policy, retreating to his one safe zone — ad hominem attacks on critics, this time for lack of compassion toward Syrian widows and orphans.
This, without a glimmer of acknowledgment of his own responsibility for these unfortunate souls becoming widowed and orphaned, displaced and homeless, in the first place. A quarter-million deaths ago, when Bashar al-Assad began making war on his own people, he unleashed his air force and helicopters. They dropped high explosives, nail-filled barrel bombs, and even chemical weapons on helpless civilians. President Obama lifted not a finger.
In the earliest days, we could have stopped the slaughter: cratered Assad’s airfields, taken out his planes, grounded his helicopters, and created a nationwide no-fly zone. (We successfully maintained one over Kurdistan for twelve years between 1991 and 2003.)
