As we get closer
to the potential Kobani slaughter crisis
Panetta
blasts Obama for not having the will to get in the ring and fight ISIS
Panetta is
of course wanting his Worthy Fights to sell
Wants history’s
blame to shift to the man who would not answer the bell
Still one
wonders back when we turned tail and from Iraq to our boots all depart
If he knew
that withdrawal was a policy doomed from the start
Why did he
not resign from his Secretary of Defense post?
How could he
remain to on the surface support a policy that would soon be toast?
Gates,
Clinton, and Panetta the apex of the foreign policy tree
Were all
telling Obama there had to be a residual force but he would not agree
We are now
in an incredible. complicated Middle East mess
Gnat like
air strikes will not these jihadists suppress
Our NATO “ally”
has its tanks on the Syrian border pointing the other way
How many
Kurd citizens not fighters will ISIS on capturing the town slay?
Head of NATO
off to Turkey to try to get them involved
Odds are slim
given the Syrian red line and our President’s apparent lack of resolve.
