I do not believe ISIS because they are masters at propaganda but lamentably, neither do I believe anything emanating from the Obama Administration.
But then why should we believe our major news media either? John Podhoretz, our President's Day Speaker, wonders out loud regarding NBC's Mr. Williams and his need to lie. (See 1 below.)
===
Americans may rightly be tired of wars and being the world's leader but I also believe we understand the historical consequences of what happens when America does not lead.
Victor Davis Hanson offers a big "huzzah" for Obama's foreign policy initiatives.It so happens, America twice elected an incompetent and huge mistake as president. Because of his ideology a vacuum has been created and filled by radical Muslims, Tragically, Obama remains paralyzed. while we are war.
From my perspective, the minute we allowed broader press and media coverage, and their being embedded, the impact of politics increasingly began to intrude and shape military effectiveness. Johnson ran the Viet Nam War from The Oval Office and that proved a disaster. Cronkite said we could not win, when we literally were within weeks of breaking the Viet Cong,, and that proved an equal disaster.
Truman allowed the Pentagon to win WW 2 and his use of the atom bomb was , probably, the last time a president acted in a manner that allowed America to win a war quickly. Since then it has been" hit the ball and drag charlie."
Americans are both an impatient but also compassionate lot and inevitably we tire as casualties mount.
By not engaging and fighting to win, we will lose more in the long run.
Obama will never bring himself to win over Muslims because he aligns with their culture and history and cannot attack his own.
So what could be a shorter war will worsen, drag on at an escalating price of human tragedy and economic cost.
Meanwhile, Obama will continue to struggle with new definitions of how to describe 'work place violent occurring episodes caused by organized groups of discontents, engaged in terrible acts against other human beings.'
At least we can take comfort in the fact that we have honest reportes like NBC's Mr. Williams!

Taking on the radical media is not radical but for Republicans it is anathema. (See 3 below,)

I posted this because it is so opposite of what I think. Hanson believes Obama is a brilliant prophet who is moving the world back from the disaster America created while acknowledging the change will be messy and not understood.
It is a big leap of faith in those who I see as disasters where Hanson sees them as Robin Hoods. Time will tell. There is a lot of crow out there someone is going to eat if they have not been beheaded first! (See 4 below.)

if you think ISIS has a laundrylist here is some clothese line wash associated with the Clinton's. (See 5 below.)

4) Once you see what Obama is trying to accomplish, it all makes sense.Dick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1)Brian Williams had no reason to lie
Why? Why did he lie?
NBC’s Brian Williams went to Iraq in 2003 and was embedded with troops. It was a dangerous thing to do, and anyone who did it was brave for doing it.And yet for seven years now, on and off, Williams has been telling people he was in a helicopter that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.He wasn’t. Even he now says he wasn’t.He changed his tune after saying last week on the “NBC Nightly News” that he had been aboard the chopper — whereupon he was busted by guys who were on the same mission in a different helicopter that had, in fact, been hit by an RPG.When Stars and Stripes got hold of the story, Williams went into damage-control mode. He apologized. He said he was trying to pay tribute to one of the people who’d been on the wounded chopper and who’d gone to a Rangers game with him. He said he bungled his tribute. Please.This is a lie that grew over time. In the immediate aftermath of the experience, Williams didn’t say he’d lived through an RPG attack. It was only later, in a 2008 blog post (according to PolitiFact), that Williams explicitly said his helicopter had been hit.Then he repeated the tale a few years after that — once in 2013 to Alec Baldwin on a podcast, once to David Letterman in 2014, and once to his own audience on the “NBC Nightly News” last week.Note the acceleration. He didn’t say it for almost five years, then he didn’t say it in public for another five years, but in the past two, he’s retold it three times, twice on major national broadcasts.It’s almost as though he’s gotten comfortable with it.There are those who, in his defense, say Williams probably believed it when he said it. Others who have lived through such an experience say there would be no way on Earth to mistake it for anything else.There is a history of Americans telling tall tales about their military experience — or making it up out of whole cloth.During the anti-Vietnam protests, dozens of activists falsely claimed to have been vets to strengthen their case against the war. Others, like Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, claimed to have seen action in Vietnam when they hadn’t.People have said they won medals they didn’t, received decorations they didn’t.The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 was signed into law by President Obama, making it a crime to misrepresent military service in cases involving personal gain.That’s not what Williams did. He wasn’t in the military, after all. His story more closely resembles the whopper told in 2008 by Hillary Clinton, who said she had landed in Bosnia in 1996 under sniper fire — and was busted by none other than the comedian Sinbad, who was on the same plane.Both Clinton and Williams were trying to make it appear as though they had been in more danger than they were, to garner the respect and emotional support of their audiences — in Hillary’s case, primary voters; in Williams’, viewers.Williams’ lie is all the more shocking because it was unnecessary. He was in a combat zone. He was in a craft that came under attack. People in the military I’ve known retain special respect for the reporters who were along with them in Iraq and Afghanistan, and surely, the same was true for Williams.Not anymore.For decades, the face of nightly TV news was Walter Cronkite. CBS heralded him as “the most trusted man in America.” That was marketing hooey, but there were Gallup polls that said as much.With this inescapable stain on his character, Brian Williams immediately rises to the top of the short list of the least trusted men in America.The question is whether Americans care any longer about the trustworthiness of anchormen — whether they know enough by now to know the guy they watch reading the news off a TelePrompTer is, in the end, nothing more than a performer.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2)Stunned’ Krauthammer calls Obama’s Prayer Breakfast lecture to Christians ‘banal and offensive’Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer was “stunned” when President Barack Obama said we should get off our “high horse,” noting atrocities committed by Christians during the Crusades and the Inquisition at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday.“Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history,” Obama said. “Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”“I was stunned that the president could say something so at once banal and offensive,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity.It was especially shocking that the president made his remarks two days s after Islamic State terrorists released footage of them executing a Jordanian pilot by dousing him with gasoline and setting him afire, yet the president’s message was that “we should remember thew Crusades and the Inquisition.”Krauthammer reminded viewers that the Crusades ended centuries ago. “This is adolescent stuff,” he said about Obama’s references.“The story of today — of our generation — is the fact that the overwhelming volume of the violence and the barbarism we are seeing in the world … is coming from one source,” he said. “It is coming from inside Islam.”He called the president’s remarks “ridiculous.”Hannity added that they’re also “dangerous.”The “American Sniper” movie and the Brian Williams' tall tale that has the Internet buzzing came up for discussion as well.“If you’re gonna make up a story, you do it when there aren’t other people around […] you tell a story about wrestling a lion to the ground because, generally speaking, lions don’t have access to the Internet,” Krauthammer said of Williams. “But you don’t do it about an event that everybody saw and that you know in the end you’re gonna be unmasked about.”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3) Beat the Media, Win the White Houseby Daniel Greenfieldof the reasons that Romney lost is that he failed to take on the media. The ultimate lost opportunity came when CNN’s debate moderator Candy Crowley directly inserted herself into the argument between Obama and Romney to declare her favorite right and Romney wrong.Romney had won the Republican primaries, but had failed to absorb the lesson of his most tenacious opponent. Newt Gingrich did not treat the media as a neutral moderator, but as a debate opponent, challenging its premises and agendas. And so Romney was left unprepared for Crowley’s attack.On the road to 2016, the latest crop of candidates appears to have learned nothing from Romney’s failure. In response to the media blowing up his vaccine comment, Christie issued a sensible clarification that provided more fuel for the media narrative. And the media narrative is what most people know.They know that Christie was behind Bridgegate even though the Democrats pushing the story provided zero evidence of it. They know that Congressman Steve Scalise spoke at a Neo-Nazi event even though that never actually happened. But what they know is the story that the media tells them. Not the facts.The media is using Christie to churn out stories framing the GOP race as a debate over vaccines while painting Republicans as opponents of vaccination. Media attacks on Republicans come in three stages. The first stage reports on an individual Republican’s action or statement. The second stage projects that on Republicans in general as part of a “Culture of X.” The third stage asks whether Republicans will ever be able to break free of the “Culture of X” with “X” being anything from racism to hatred of science.By now we’re in the third stage. Republican opposition to vaccination has become a media meme.In response, conservative blogs and outlets have shown that Obama and Hillary Clinton both linked vaccines to autism and that parents who don’t vaccinate tend to be wealthy Democrats.But the media won’t report that unless the actual candidates stop debating vaccines and start using those facts to challenge its lies and hypocrisy.A media smear campaign can’t be met with sensible clarifications. They only strengthen the smear. Christie’s clarification that he believes in measles vaccinations has allowed the media to begin spinning him as flip-flopping on vaccines. Any further statements explaining his views will be used to continue reporting on the manufactured story of the “Republican vaccine controversy.”The only way to break the cycle is for Republicans to stop explaining themselves and to challenge the narrative. The narrative is a lie, but no one will ever know that if the candidates don’t challenge it.Sensible clarifications might have worked in 1955. They might have even worked in 1985. But they’re completely useless today. No doubt the fact that Obama and Hillary were vaccine skeptics will be acknowledged somewhere near the bottom of a Washington Post fact check of a Hillary commercial that blames her opponent for spreading disease and killing children. Maybe as many as five people will read it.Today’s media has less respect for the truth than an elevator full of con artists. As bad as it is most of the time, it gets worse during national campaigns when it begins manufacturing scandals and then reporting on them and then demanding that the candidates respond to its narratives as if they were real issues.And Republicans keep falling for itThe road to the White House is over the crushed and mangled narratives of the media. A Republican candidate who fails to take on the media will fall wrapped head to toe in lies and scandals. He will go on issuing clarifications and sensible statements while the media accuses him of murdering small children.The media is not impartial. It is not even a forum. The national media is the political opponent of every Republican running for the White House.It needs to be treated that way.When CNN’s John King tried to drag Newt Gingrich through the dirt in a primary debate, Gingrich dragged the media through the dirt instead, describing it as “destructive”, “vicious” and “negative”. He turned the tables by putting the media and its motives up on the stage. He refused to treat John King as a journalist who had the right to hold him accountable. Instead he fought to hold King accountable.And that’s something that any Republican candidate can do.The public doesn’t like the media. Poll after poll shows that they don’t trust the media. They listen to what the media tells them because Republicans meekly play out their parts in the media’s smear campaigns the way that ISIS hostages do what they’re told even while their heads are being cut off.When the media attacks, the issue should never be the credibility of a Republican candidate. The issue must always be the credibility of the media. It must be the credibility of the politicians being protected by the press. If Christie and Paul had based all of their replies around the fact that their positions are basically the same as those of Obama and Hillary, the media’s entire story would have collapsed.The media would have been unable to move forward with the story without quoting the candidates, relegating the whole thing to the backwaters of the left in places like Salon and Slate. Instead the story is everywhere. And the only people who can kill it are the Republican targets of the smear campaign.Conservative media outlets do their part, but they need Republicans to do theirs. The media buried Romney’s dog story when Republicans tepidly picked on the conservative media’s response that Obama had eaten dog. But when Republicans sit and take it, then they become the victims of the media.The media counts on Republicans playing defense. When Republicans go on the attack, when they challenge premises and the moral authority of the press, then phony scandals suddenly fizzle out.Republicans wouldn’t roll over and play dead for their opponents. Why do they do it for the media?Obama understood that being able to control your message and your brand is the most important element of modern politics. He shut out the media by using a small clique of influential friendly journalists for heavy interviews while doing light chats with everyone from YouTube celebrities to late night talk show hosts. He has his own photographer who distributes photos for the press to use.When there’s a controversy, the White House leaks an anonymous response. Its spokesmen divert and delay. They make fools of themselves to protect Obama. Their main goal is to deny the press a useable quote and they accomplish their real purpose of making the press briefings a waste of the press’ time.If Obama distrusts and shuts out the press even though it licks his boots, why do Republicans play ball with it only to get a kick in the teeth?The media was Obama’s messaging machine. It is becoming Hillary’s spin system. If Republicans passively submit to it, then the media will define them and 2016 will become a rerun of 2012.2016 won’t just be a race against Hillary, but against the media. The media needs Republicans to tie the noose around their own necks by acknowledging the media’s credibility as investigators and reporters.When Republicans provide the media with credibility, they lose.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Victor Davis HansonThe Wise People of American foreign policy — Madeleine Albright, General Jack Keane, Henry Kissinger, General James Mattis, George Shultz, and others — recently testified before Congress. Their candid and insightful collective message dovetailed with the worries of many former Obama-administration officials, such as one-time defense secretaries Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, as well as a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. Their consensus is that the U.S. is drifting, and with it the world at large: The Obama administration has not formulated a consistent strategy to cope with the advance of second-generation Islamic terrorism. It is confused by the state upheavals in the Middle East. It is surprised by the aggression of Putin’s Russia and the ascendance of an autocratic China. Our allies in Europe, much of democratic Asia, and Israel all worry that the U.S. is rudderless, as it slashes its military budget and withdraws from prior commitments.
While I think the symptomology of an ailing, herky-jerky United States is correct, the cause of such malaise is left unspoken. The Obama team — with its foreign policy formulated by President Obama himself, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, White House consigliere Valerie Jarrett, Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and present Secretary of State John Kerry — is not in fact befuddled by the existing world. Instead, it is intent on changing it into something quite different from what it is.
So far from being chaotic, current U.S. foreign policy is consistent, logical, and based on four pillars of belief.
1. Readjustments in the global order are long overdue.The exceptional postwar influence of the United States did not result in a fair and just world and is thus in need of major recalibration. The use of military force abroad in recent decades has almost always been mistaken, proving a waste of lives and money, as it either has promoted the status quo rather than aiding the deserving and needy, or has promoted only the interests of those who mouth U.S. platitudes and falsely claim they are legitimate. The role of an all-powerful United States is not always beneficial, as it sets global norms according to our privileged tastes. For America to quietly recede and give other nations a chance to direct their own affairs and become global actors would be far more equitable, leading to a world that far better represents heretofore unrepresented billions of people. Such transformation is always messy; occasional violence and unrest are the price of equitable readjustments. Change is always misinterpreted and mischaracterized by reactionaries whose interests abroad are imperiled by any progress that leads to greater equality and fairness and to the end of unwarranted hierarchy and privilege.
2. All nations and interests act rationally — if given a chance.Human nature is not tragic but is better understood from a therapeutic perspective. Most nations, in fact, interpret outreach as magnanimity leading to reciprocity, not as weakness deserving of contempt. Evil is not inherent in the world because of human failings such as timeless envy, jealousy, narcissism, greed, and vanity. Rather, to the degree that evil is absolute and not a relative construct, it is a transient condition and a curable symptom of poverty and absence of education. Leaders caricatured and demonized as a Cuban Stalinist, an Iranian theocrat, a Russian former KGB agent, and a plutocratic Chinese apparatchik in fact think no differently from us. But they have too often not been accorded a voice because the U.S. sought to bully them rather than reason with them. Polarizing and out-of-date labeling such as calling ISIS or the Taliban “terrorists” or “Islamists,” or reducing Bowe Bergdahl to a “traitor,” serve no purpose other than to simplify complex issues in ways that caricature those with whom we differ.Instead, if we reduce our military profile and show other nations that what we are really interested in is fundamentally transforming U.S. society into a more equitable and fair place, our erstwhile enemies will begin to appreciate that we too are human and thus share their common aspirations. Ideals, persuasion, feelings, and intent are now the stuff of foreign policy, not archaic and polarizing rules of deterrence, balance of power, military readiness, and alliances.
There are two pragmatic foreign-policy themes here: First, there is nothing newsworthy in working with our same old, same old allies like the Europeans, Israel, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and Canada, and reassuring them through our tired advocacy of the boring mantras of free-market capitalism, constitutional government, and a global order characterized by Western notions of rule of law and freedom of the seas, trade, and communications. In contrast, assuaging rogue regimes earns legacy headlines in the fashion of Kissingerian détente or Nixon’s going to China.3. Do abroad as we try to do at home.The legacy of Barack Obama will be found mostly in foreign policy and especially in his forging of new ties with formerly ostracized regimes. Obamacare, the doubling of U.S. debt, the anemic recovery over the last six years, the near destruction of the Democratic Party at the state level and in Congress, the alphabet soup of scandals — GSA, IRS, NSA, VA — are not the stuff of a successful presidency, whatever the efforts of the solicitous media. Accordingly, Nobel Laureate Obama logically sees that history’s positive verdict on his tenure must come from abroad. He will normalize relations with Castro’s Cuba and let others worry whether there is any reciprocity on issues of longstanding disagreement. History will record the fact of normalization, not transient details concerning human rights. Obama will bring Iran into the fold of nations — its nuclear-weapons program soon accorded the status of Pakistan’s. He will work with Islamic radical groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, acknowledging their legitimate grievances and helping them to forge a new generation of Middle Eastern leaders. He has not given up on Erdogan’s Turkey as a logical bridge between Islamic and Western nations. He has tried to reset relations with Putin and will try again, as he stealthily promised President Medvedev before the 2012 elections. Israel will be accorded the status of Switzerland or Belgium, a minor entity deserving of normal U.S. relations, but not of extraordinary American commitments.
Second, the world at large and the Left in particular will acknowledge and appreciate that Obama sought to flip the U.S. from being the bulwark of the established global order to being a protester with the masses at the barricades. If the power and influence of the United States is put on the side of global hope and change, we will see fundamental transformation in the world abroad as we have seen it at home. Contrary to popular opinion, the Obama legacy will not be found at home but abroad, in reordering the global role of the U.S. from an establishment power to a revolutionary force for change.
4. Don’t sweat the details.Obama himself is a prophet, not a bureaucrat. The details of his grand vision will be left to younger, fresher functionaries who can sort out the confusions of implementation — why terrorism and Islamism are taboo words, or why trading terrorists for the deserter Bowe Bergdahl was a wise idea, or why nothing really happened at Benghazi, or why pulling all our troops out of Iraq had no effect on the creation of ISIS, or why setting timetables for withdrawal from Afghanistan does not encourage the Taliban, which is not a terrorist organization, and so on. Sometimes these inexperienced idealists will fumble and will be embarrassed publicly, but Obama himself will not intervene to correct the minutiae of inconsistencies in the implementation of his vision. Once-in-a-lifetime emissaries of change do not stoop to that. Who would have asked Mandela what was his position on NATO? Who wonders about Gandhi’s attitude toward Israel? Prophets are not like us and have no responsibility to articulate details or insist on logical consistency, much less to worry about how others of less talent implement their grand visions.* * *Keep these themes in mind, and the last six years will make better sense. The Middle East is not a mess, but a place in a needed stage of transition as it frees itself from Western domination and a new order slowly emerges. To the degree that we need a large military, it is preferable to envision it as an executive agency for enacting social change without the clumsy impediment of Congress, especially in terms of race, women’s issues, and gender preferences. It can do the best work for stability abroad by shrinking itself. Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder and always a relative concept that Westerners pathologically insist is absolute. As far as the world abroad goes, China is a more authentic enterprise than Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, which are the products of U.S. Cold War nation-building in our own image, not of indigenous revolutionary self-creation. U.S. Cold War culpability — in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, South America, Cuba — is a burden that must be addressed through various means. The rules of nuclear proliferation are a Western construct. Israel is an abnormality, a Western outpost of capitalism and privilege where it has never really belonged, an irritant that should be treated like any other country as much as politically possible. Latin American grass-roots socialism is not Stalinism, but rather an extension of what Obama is trying to do at home.
