Obama The Denier - Syrian Nerve Gas
Roanoke Times, 8-22-2013, Pg 3: Chemical weapons alleged in deadly attack.
"The White House said the US was "deeply concerned" by the reports".
-
Obama deeply concerned! Really? Apparently not nearly as concerned as he is about Trayvon Martin and vilifying George Zimmerman! Talk about a total disconnect with context and perspective and personal values.

The issue is no longer
Obama’s totally discredited warnings about a “Red Line” or how many UN
inspectors it takes to investigate mass murders or where Bashar
al-Assad's gas stockpiles are located.
-
The issue now is the reality
of nerve gas being used on civilians including women and children as clearly
shown in today’s awful news videos.
-
As a young Army Officer I
watched films showing animals being subjected to VX nerve gas. This was done to instill a deep and profound
respect for this weapon and the need for all our soldiers to be proficient with
masks and shelter and atropine.
During my time in the field
in Germany
from 1961 to 1964 we had a mask and a large atropine injector on our
belts. If exposed, we were to don our
masks and inject ourselves in the thigh and then stick the injector through our
collar so that the medics who found us would know we had an initial dose.
-
Today’s TV video of the
gassed Syrian civilians, especially the children, brought back the disturbing
visions of those laboratory animals I witnessed 50 years ago
-
This is yet another sad chapter
in the Arab Spring that Obama and associates were so quick to embrace and
support and take credit for.
Perhaps he has been watching
the children on TV, struggling for their last breath, wracked with convulsions
as the VX destroys their nervous system and shuts down their vital organs.
-
There’s a name for those who
have the ability to help, but instead standby and watch awful things happen to
innocent people. It’s not a nice word!
-
What a contrast with Obama’s speech in March 2011 on Libya:
"To brush aside America's
responsibility as a leader and - more profoundly - our responsibilities to our
fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who
we are," Obama said. "Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to
atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is
different. And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and
mass graves before taking action."
-
That was 100,000 deaths and multiple gassings ago.
And to think that Obama calls other people “Deniers”.
Talk about hypocrisy!
Just more Hope and Change we can believe in!
