No Musketeer but here come three Warmongers

A musket is a primitive sort of gun, built and used in a bygone era. Similar but deadlier guns are used in modern times along with other weapons that the musketeers could not have imagined in their time. And in the same way that they had musketeer stories to tell in the old days, we have warmonger stories to tell in the modern era.

Also, in a manner somewhat similar to the thousand and one stories that were told in a thousand and one nights, our modern warmongering stories have dwindled – for the sake of brevity – to three of them, and told over three days. Moreover they are told by the three warmongering characters themselves; all of whom are Jewish (no surprise here,) and all of whom are whining that the current President of the United States is not creating rivers of blood to lift their spirits and make their hearts sing with joy.

Our first warmonger is Elliott Abrams who came up with: “Obama just accidentally explained why his foreign policy hasn't worked,” published on May 28, 2014 in the Washington Post. Our second is Charles Krauthammer who came up with: “Obama's Ad Hoc Foreign Policy” and the subtitle: “His West Point speech and his policy of retreat are characterized by smallness.” It was syndicated to several publications, among them, the May 29, 2014 edition of National Review Online. Our third warmonger is none other than the original architect of the Iraq holocaust, Paul Wolfowitz who came up with: “The Crumbling Deal on Syria's Chemical Weapons” and the subtitle: “Anyone who still thinks Assad will meet his obligations should study how Libya's disarmament went in 2004.” It was published on May 30, 2014 in the Wall Street Journal.

Krauthammer being the smartest Jew to repeatedly screw his own cause royally has written the most interesting story; one that describes how the screwing is done as clearly as can be described. Look how he does that. He first complains: “As for Obama's interventionists, they are described as people 'who think military intervention is the only way for America to avoid looking weak' … Name one person.” He goes on: “What actual earthlings are eager for is sending military assistance to Ukraine's woefully equipped forces.” Forces? Did he say forces? What kind of forces are these? Ukrainian nuns fidgeting rosaries? Or is it military forces?

Oh no, don't misunderstand me, he seems to say; and that's because he is not making such request himself. It is “what the interim prime minister [of Ukraine] asked for. Two months later, military assistance (military again?) was the first thing Ukraine's newly elected president, said he wanted from the United States.” And to make sure you do not misunderstand him ever again, Krauthammer makes himself clear with this note: no boots on the ground. By that he means no American soldiers will be sent to fight someone else's war.

So here you have a Jew – who always found something in history to warn that if you fail to do this, the outcome will be the same as when the Sudetenland was invaded – failing to remind the readers this time that when America tried to help the South Vietnamese, she ended up fighting the war for them; and when America tried to help the Afghans, she ended up fighting them as they turned against her after defeating the old Soviet Union.

You don't understand, Krauthammer seems to cry out. He is not the one to complain, he says. It is that: “most of the complaints are coming from abroad,” he asserts. And so you ask: what's the significance of this? And he tells you what that is by asking: “What is the world to think when Obama … announces a drawdown of American forces followed by total liquidation within two years?” What the Jew is advocating here is for the American troops to remain in Afghanistan till they are forced to evacuate under fire. This was the way they did it in Saigon on one of the most humiliating days for the American military.

As to Paul Wolfowitz, he is not following the example of Krauthammer who denied by omission the Jewish habit of using a historical precedent to draw analogies with the current situation. Wolfowitz makes it clear even in the subtitle that to know what goes on inside the head of Syria's Assad today, one “should study how Libya's disarmament went in 2004,” ten years ago.

So you ask: What's your point, Paul? And he seems to say: Nothing. Just talk. It looks like the matter of chemical weapons will be resolved one way or the other to the satisfaction of everyone. But the truth is that Assad is a vicious killer who uses conventional weapons to wage war on his own people, and Obama is doing nothing about it.

What does that mean in the grand scheme of things, Paul? Like Krauthammer, Wolfowitz responds by invoking the reaction of foreigners. He puts it this way: “It has left millions of Syrians embittered – along with millions more across the Arab world – and has emboldened authoritarian rulers to act aggressively from Ukraine to the South China Sea.”

What he means to say is that if only Obama had bombed Syria, Putin of Russia and the Chinese leaders would be trembling in their boots now, and would not have moved against Ukraine or the South China Sea. Anyone out there believes any of this?

Now to Elliott Abrams. The first thing he does is invoke the foreign view of things: “the policy will be of little comfort to our allies,” he says. Okay, you say to yourself, and you read the article several times to see what exactly that policy is, and why it will be of little comfort to the allies. But guess what, Abrams does not know what the policy is. In fact, he complains throughout the article that the President is not explaining things.

Abrams also speaks of successes that belong to the Bush era for which Obama took credit; and he speaks of failures that Obama has not tried to fix. But he says nothing about Obama's foreign policy except that it is weak – says nothing about its shortcomings or about an alternative policy.

Still, he ends he article the way he began it by invoking the view of foreigners. This time, however, he does it in a clever way by using the President's own words against him: “Mr. Obama said that Russia's aggression unnerves capitals in Europe, while China's economic rise and military reach worry its neighbors.” And so Abrams adds his own view: Their nerves won't be any better after listening to what he [Obama] said.

Three Jews saying – each in his own way – that America should go to war and stay at war for ever. They are the warmongers.
