Issues Under Fire:King James Smartly Snubs the Rotten Apple

Jul 9th 2010

Proving he is smarter than he looks, Lebron James rightly snubs the rotten Apple and heads to the sunshine state. With South Beach, beautiful women, pretty weather (compared to Cleveland and NYC), no state income taxes and clean streets, why the hell would a young superstar athlete opt for this corrupt, dirty, loser of a city, that has failed to field a quality NBA team in decades . All we can say is, good luck kid and we’ll checkout you and your new crew in September!

Oh yeah, there was some other minor news items the lame stream media attempted to report during the King James breaking news watch; the oil in the Gulf of Mexico is still flowing unabated, BP is still lying about it, the economy still sucks, unemployment benefits for millions are still on hold, peace in the Middle East is still hopeless, America is still fighting terror all over the globe and the world is still flat the last time we checked. Click here for the podcast.

C-Ya Monday, maybe!

Issues Under Fire: The Economy, Afghanistan, Immigration & as Always, Israel…

Even though Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu nearly broke each others arms during a staged photo opportunity, proving all is good between the two nations, the real truth is all is bad and getting worse. We really have no plan for peace, Israel really wants no plan for peace and Hamas wouldn’t know a peace plan if it slap them in the face.

Despite the pretty words between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a more realistic view of the critical issues was on display outside the White House . Our podcast and analysis will be posted shortly.

Netanyahu Brings the Heat to Washington

In an effort to cool off rising tensions between the United States and the Israeli government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama to put a new face on the relationship, but from our vantage point, it appears like more words than action will rule the near future. Unfortunately, President Obama may have wasted another major opportunity to shift and expand the dialog. Podcast later this week.

Issues Under Fire: Our Not So New Man In Afghanistan

Nebulously and nimbly aptly describes how Obama and Patreaus narrowly navigated the general’s ninety-nine to nothing nod from the numbskulls on Capital Hill. Now What?

Keeping his options wide open, Obama and company are walking a razor thin tightrope in their efforts to tip toe through the poppies in Afghanistan. One tiny tilt to the right, and he is trapped there for another decade bleeding money if not blood. One tiny tilt to the left and he looks like a looser to the entire Arab world, to say nothing of what the Republicans will level against him. Counter the insurgents or counter the terrorist, that is the question of the day.

The question of tomorrow is, how long will this take? The question for the day after tomorrow is, how much will this cost? The question the day after that is, will America think Afghanistan is worth the sacrifice? However, the biggest question of all is, are we just getting played? Since we say, countering the insurgents will take way too long and cost way too much, Afghanistan is bound to deliver a poor return on the investment. All things being considered, the answer is a resounding yes, Americans are getting played. Again! Click here for the podcast

Killing while making friends is the most difficult task any military commander will encounter. Placing a timeline on this type of operation makes a difficult situation damn near impossible. While General David Petraeus will undoubtedly have a smooth confirmation hearing, he will be compelled to explain how he intends to meet the Obama administration’s expectations and stay within the parameters of the current Afghanistan war strategy. We are preparing some recommendations that should help shed some light on the this issues. Issues Under Fire will return Monday.

After ripping him a new asshole tomorrow, cut this asshole loose! During the prosecution of two wars, it is hardly the time for dissension. Any officer of any branch of the armed services who accepts a mission from his or her Commander in Chief, is duty-bound to carry out said mission to the very best of his or her ability. We might also add, carrying out the President’s orders with ones mouth shut and opinions kept to ones self is absolutely crucial. If this is not possible, perhaps the good general could finish his public service in the United States Post Office. In our view, this individual among others have never fully supported nor respected this administration and it is time for him to be replaced. At this late stage of the game, it is sad many still must be reminded we have but one Commander in Chief; hence, the time has come for the President let his subordinates know loudly and clearly, exactly who is in charge. After all, capable, competent and loyal military leadership is not that difficult to find within the ranks.

Israel Eases Gaza Blockade: One Small Step for Man One Giant Leap for Mankind

While this is a mere itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, barely perceptible acknowledgement of Israel’s unnecessarily brutish ”open containment” of the Gaza population, it is still welcome news. But the big question remains, where do we go from here without a credible plan for peace from the White House ?

It is imperative we get the ball rolling again before someone else does. Or on second thought, maybe someone else should take the lead! Perhaps the global community should post a call for an independent, open minded, peace seeking, evenhanded, dispassionate, honest and ethical broker to engage the extremes among the Palestinians and the Israelis. It is apparent the US has failed miserably over the decades in their efforts to find a solution to this conflict. Consequently there is little faith among the world’s majority that anything the US does going forward will change the status quo.

Hell, we are not looking for a miracle worker, as many will settle for someone strong enough to identify the parties that really don’t want a peaceful solution to the festering hostilities. Can you recommend a person or group of persons to make this happen? If so, let us know and we’ll notify the White House that they can concentrate on other issues.

Obama’s Big Gulf Oil Spill Speech Tonight

Mr. President, we haven’t a clue as to what your writers will have you to say to the nation tonight, but if we could offer a few simple words of advice, it would be to tell the American people the unvarnished truth. Let the country and the world know the full extent of the situation and what we can realistically expect going forward. Blaming, suing, studying and hoping while silently praying for a miracle is not leadership. Besides, we already know what is really going on!

Some highlights:
“The Palestinian people still don’t believe in a Jewish state, in a two-state solution. More do than before, but a majority still do not. Their fundamental view is, the Europeans treated the Jews badly and gave them ‘OUR’ land – this is Palestinian thinking. [...] You have to force them to say Israel is here to stay. And there’s been good progress over the last year. In a sense, there’s a division, because the West Bank is actually prospering [...] The contrast with Gaza is glaring. And that’s why the boycott of Gaza to me has another purpose — obviously the first purpose is to prevent Hamas from getting weapons by which they will use to hurt Israel — but the second is actually to show the Palestinians that when there’s some moderation and cooperation, they can have an economic advancement. When there’s total war against Israel, which Hamas wages, they’re gonna get nowhere.”

Chuck Schumer makes an adequate New York State Senator, but his foreign policy acumen leaves one wanting, as we could not be further apart on this hot issue… Sadly, he just don’t get it! But in fairness to Chuck perhaps we can order the good Senator a pair of Palestinian shoes to try out for a month of two and see if his warped perspective remains the same.
