Morning Thread (2-11-2015)

So the Obama administration spent the day flailing trying to explain comments Obama made in a fanboi interview at Vox?

Sometimes there's just not enough popcorn.

23 What's there to explain? He hates Israel with every fiber of his being and believes that murders of Jews anywhere and everywhere is an acceptable form of resistance to their "illegal" (actually total legal) "occupation." (indigenous people returning to their homeland is hardly an invasion). In his view, Israel is white, imperialist South Africa and it is oppressing a noble Brown Palestine that just wants to spread its wings and become a good member of the community of nations. Of course, it's a round peg in a square hole, but nobody would accuse leftists of actually understanding the world as it is.

I heard an interview and comments by some of hers SJW sisters yesterday on the radio. From that point is was clear she wasn't just the deluded liberal do-gooder looking for some adventure and pictures for Facebook. These were hard-core lefty activists looking for fundamental change. Some of it was cloaked irreligious liberation theology but is was obvious we weren't (and wont ) get the whole story from the MSM. Unsurprisingly Obama praised her as "what is best about America." Untold Millions of other idiot were doing the same last night and today.

Well if they shit canned one of their highly visible talking heads, then someone might ask why doesn't that standard apply to other people who make stuff up? Let him go enjoy an extended vacation and 'rehab' somewhere while Kim Kardashian's ass grows another 10 pounds.

What about Cankles and her sprint across the tarmac under gunfire? What about Horseface and his bullshit about his adventures in Vietnam?
What about Lois Lerner, Eric the Red, etc ad nauseum.

And in particular, what about Captain Asshat?

The MSM/Captain Asshat synergy is nothing more than a house built on a sand slope. A constant trickle of water removing the sand will level the slope and the entire house will fall.

The reason Jordan's entry is significant is not because of their order of battle or the forces they can field. It's because an Arab state is bombing.

What IS significant is UAE's entry. They posses the largest air force (of the Arab states) in the Middle East, and the most effective.

Jordan's entry matters from a political - not a military - standpoint.

I could tell a few stories about running desperately from what you pray are rubber-coated steal bullets launched from the gun tip of a reckless and frightened 18-year old. I could tell a few stories about sleeping in front of half demolished buildings waiting for the one night when the bulldozers come to finish them off; fearing sleep because you don't know what could wake you.
I could tell a few stories about walking children home from school because settlers next door are keen to throw stones, threaten and curse at them. Seeing the hones fear in young boys eyes when heavily armed settlers arise from the outpost; pure fear, frozen from further steps, lips trembling.

After all their other fine work on improving America's health insurance system, now:

Members of Congress are taking a serious look at abolishing Tricare, the insurance option provided to members of the military and their families.

One of the recommendations was replacing Tricare with a new system that allows members of the military to choose a private insurance plan, with the cost of premiums shouldered by the government.

Active-duty family members, those in the Reserves and retired service members would have a menu of commercial plans from which to choose. Active-duty family members would be reimbursed through a new basic allowance for healthcare, while service members would continue to receive care from military treatment facilities. Retirees would retain Tricare for Life, a program that covers the medical costs that Medicare doesnt.
