The drumbeat for war is\u00a0growing louder\u00a0in Washington.\u00a0 Either Barack Obama is getting restless or else\u00a0the Saudi&#8217;s are turning up the heat in the White House. This time the drums are\u00a0beating\u00a0over Syria\u00a0but they aren&#8217;t\u00a0sounding The Battle\u00a0Hymn of\u00a0the Republic&#8230; not ours anyway.\u00a0The drums are marking time to another countries\u00a0 internal,\u00a0domestic affairs.\u00a0The Syrian Civil War is none of our business . What goes on there\u00a0is not our concern,\u00a0yet these\u00a0drums\u00a0are\u00a0keeping pace\u00a0with\u00a0the globalist agenda\u00a0and the New World Order.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the Saudi&#8217;s want to remove Bashar al Assad then let them do it. America doesn&#8217;t need another boogie man&#8230;\u00a0 Why do we always have to have a scapegoat&#8230; or someone\u00a0to blame when things go wrong. In the past it was Sadaam Hussein. Now it is Vladimir Putin and Bashar al Assad. Before too long it will be ISIS. We never talk about the real problem in the world.. The real problem is Islam and the Quran.\u00a0 Our misplaced concerns are being\u00a0played out\u00a0in yet another Middle Eastern country where we don&#8217;t really have a dog in the fight and where none of the participants are really America&#8217;s friends or allies. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am of the opinion that Bashar al Assad\u00a0doesn&#8217;t need\u00a0to go\u00a0nearly half as\u00a0bad nor half as fast as Barack Obama\u00a0needs to go.\u00a0Congress should have\u00a0 impeached\u00a0him over four years ago. The problem is that you can&#8217;t\u00a0find enough Republicans on Capitol Hill with\u00a0the\u00a0spinal fortitude to bring\u00a0charges against\u00a0our first African-American President no matter what he does.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong.

It didn&#8217;t convince the Obama Administration of anything. They still want\u00a0to\u00a0bomb Syria anyway.\u00a0\u00a0If\u00a0a country\u00a0doesn&#8217;t let the U.N. inspectors in then\u00a0we attack that country. If they do let the inspectors in\u00a0we still attack that country.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t seem to make a difference what they do. We still attack their country either way. So they are\u00a0damned if they do, and damned if they don&#8217;t.\u00a0 In retrospect maybe that is why Saddam Hussein refused to let the U.N. inspectors into Iraq. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3348\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bashar-al-Assad-family-photo-2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3348\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3348 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bashar-al-Assad-family-photo-2-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Bashar al Assad with his family\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bashar-al-Assad-family-photo-2-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Bashar-al-Assad-family-photo-2.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bashar al Assad with his family<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is behind our government&#8217;s\u00a0irrational and\u00a0inconsistent foreign policy?

The Constitution doesn&#8217;t make America the policeman of the world. If you remember back a few years ago to the brilliant successes of our last two military\u00a0campaigns in the Middle East, the one in Libya and the other in Iraq and you consider the eventual outcome\u00a0of a third\u00a0encounter still going on in Afghanistan maybe you will not be so quick to support another military\u00a0intervention into\u00a0another Muslim country. Instead of a military intervention in Syria perhaps Barack Obama needs a personal\u00a0intervention into his own mixed up life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every day\u00a0the people of\u00a0Iraq wake up to the\u00a0prospect of another car bomb\u00a0blowing up\u00a0in their neighborhood and the inconvenience of having to\u00a0drive through\u00a0numerous military checkpoints on their way to work and back again. These checkpoints have\u00a0separated\u00a0Baghdad into various walled encampments, and\u00a0divided their country\u00a0into warring Sunni and Shia neighborhoods. Sadaam Hussein\u00a0kept these tensions\u00a0under control.

Bush that he was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. Those allegations were largely proven to be false.
