When the safeties come off

Après moi, le déluge

Mr Barack Hussein Obama urges the Pentagon, which says that it might be able to cope with only 10,000 troops in Iraq, to make do with, not a typo, 3,000.  That's hardly enough to guard the bases.

What is significant about this is that it's the first proof I've come across that Barry Soetoro doesn't expect to be in the White House in 2013.  Up until now, his policy toward Iraq and Afghanistan has been one of benign neglect of the US armed forces.  He doesn't give a monkey's flatulence about either campaign and regards the military as a piggy bank that he'd raid in a blink if he could get away with it, but The One knows that it would be political suicide to end up labelled as the man who lost the war.  This is why things have gone as well as they have for the past three years.  Barry doesn't care, so, for want of any actual foreign policy,  he follows the old Bush strategy and lets the generals do as they feel best.  That is, until now.  If the Light Worker thinks that he's out of a job after the election, then why hold back?  Let's have some sweet revenge served up piping hot.

The Republicans had better be ready for some major barricading over the next year because I can't think of anything more dangerous than a lame duck Barry.
