link Dozen House women defend Rice over Libya comments – News – Boston.com.
The giveaway that this story is full of round sliced processed meat is when they associate “brilliant” and public servant in the same sentence. That’s like associating “exotic” with dancer or “delicious” with oatmeal. This episode will go a long way to confirm this administration’s commitment to increasing employment; but not necessarily in the way you’d expect. Now that it’s become abundantly clear that UN Ambassador Susan Rice’s extensively broad-casted explanation of the Libyan consulate strike was grossly misleading, she is under fire from all quarters for promoting a completely fake narrative.
Predictably, her supporters have rallied to her defence, characterizing attacks against her as being racist and sexist in tone, a two-fer no-no in this day and age. To this point, we don’t know if she is gay or is handicapped in some way, because if so, it would be the grand slam of politically incorrect no-no’s. Ironically, Rice’s supporters characterize the criticism of her job as a “witch hunt”. Tsk Tsk. If a ‘brilliant’ civil servant like Ms. Rice cannot be held responsible for her position purely because of her sex and race, why not just hire 12 year kids? In one fell swoop, we can create millions of new jobs as we bring children into the workforce. The best roles for them would be as officials in positions heavy with responsibility. That way, when something blows up, they can be immune from criticism….they’re only kids. Imagine the money saved from not having to train people for appropriate jobs. Phd’s, MA’s, JD’s?, forget about all of that. All you need to be is 12 and able to read from script. Actually, given that no blame can be assigned and you are only passing on instructions, being only a distant cousin in the primate family would suffice. Hmm, Secretary of State Gonzo, or Defense Secretary Cheetah….
If you extrapolate this logic further, all they really need are hand puppets. If the spokesman is only the messenger, why pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary and benefits when a hand puppet can be employed for about $25 bucks from the nearest Michael’s store. Just make sure that it’s blue in color and asexual in appearance.
link U.N. chief warns of humanitarian disaster as Libya meeting opens – CNN.com.
To whom is this guy addressing his warning? Banned From The Moon is essentially pleading for more money (what else?) to head off an ‘humanitarian disaster’ in Libya. Since the U.S. is the largest contributor to the U.N., it logically means, he’s asking that Americans pony up more dough. China and Russia are already helping by graciously agreeing to buy Libya’s oil. The U.S., through NATO are only contributing bombs and bullets.
Someone may want to give the earnest head of the U.N. a map of the region. He will note that immediately to the north and east of Libya are found the most moneyed states in the world today. He may want to pass the collection plate around their tables. While the U.S. has always come to the table in the past for almost any cause, at the moment, their credit card balance is a bit high. It can’t be that hard for some of the neighboring Arab states to toss a few hundred million into the aid pot to help a neighbour. The Arab nations in the middle east have always existed on very fine balance. Running most of the wealthy states are autocratic families who receive most of the oil wealth with the support of western countries and in return, support those western countries in order to keep hostile religious factions at bay. Over the past half year, the yawning chasm of wealth between these rulers and their restive subjects has boiled over into mob insurrection. Tunisia and Egypt were the first to go.
If anyone can figure out which side of the combatants in Libya are worthy of support, it would be the immediate neighbors, since they’ll have to live with them later on. It doesn’t really matter which side the Americans take, it will be the wrong side from someone’s perspective. Factions and tribes have been battling each other over there for centuries and grudges and animosities persist. It’s somewhat similar to 14 year old girls who are united against little Suzy, until she’s out of the picture and then they go back to hating each other. There is the old Arab saying, ” the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Better off not giving anything, just stick with the artillery.
There are humanitarian emergencies all over the world at any given time. The calamity in Japan recently is a genuine emergency with no political root to the devastation. Everyone was just minding their own business, when kaboom, the ground shook and the waves came. If anyone deserves donations, it’s the Japanese. They are living in peace. They are contributing to the world. The only jihad they spread is by technology advances and karaoke. It makes more sense to help peaceful people than people who would behead you in your sleep. The humanitarian crisis being warned of is man made. Who’s to say there isn’t another one after this one? I’d say they had better keep the collection plate in circulation.
