This Is How Stupid They Think We Are, This Is How Brazen They Are

This is what the president announced today:

US President Barack Obama confirmed plans to dramatically increase the American troop presence in Syria by deploying an additional 250 personnel, bringing the total to 300. He said the troops would help drive out the Islamic State terrorist group.

“Just as I have approved additional support for Iraqi forces against ISIL (Islamic State, previously ISIS/ISIL – RT), I’ve decided to increase US support for local forces fighting ISIL in Syria,” Obama said.

“A small number of US special operations forces are already on the ground in Syria,” he said. “Their expertise has been critical as local forces have been driving ISIL out of key areas. So given the success, I have approved the deployment of up to 250 additional US personnel in Syria, including special forces, to keep up this momentum.”

This is spite of his continual assurances there would be no boots on the ground in Syria:

When a State Dept. spokesman was confronted by a reporter about the president’s obvious contradiction, he lied through his teeth, and without batting an eye brazenly denied the administration had ever said there would be no boots on the ground in Syria:

UPDATE: The best way to do this is to watch the first video at :16 for about four seconds. Then go to the second video, start it at around 2:10, and keep watching until you are ready to throw things around the room.

  1. “Truth” is malleable and whatever we need it to be at any given moment.

  2. these 250 really need to rethink their life choices

  3. I guess there’s no shortage of leftwing dipsh*t spokesholes who will say or do anything to further their career opportunities. Even former members of the military. Every time this ass* opens his yapper is a dishonorable discharge.

  4. why does he say “isil” does he work for NPR or something where he has to say everything as stupidly as humanly possible

    it’s like cruz and his stupid ko-may-knee thing

  5. Barack is the real Harvardtrash.
    Of course, I’d say he was “Columbiatrash,” but there doesn’t seem to be very much eyewitness evidence that he ever attended any political science classes at Columbia during the years he claims he did.
    And I would never call him “Occidentaltrash” because my hero Jack Kemp graduated from Occidental.

  6. remember kirby replaced marie larf, imagine what level of selfabasement you have to put up in order to say that,

  8. Obama is pro-choice. It’s the secular version of Islam’s Taqiyya. It is only consistent in its pursuit of carbon-based reduction (i.e. “planning”) and sequestration (i.e. “abortion”), and redistributive change in order to establish monopolies. Everything else is instructed by gods in the twilight zone and therefore unpredictable.

  9. Speaking of brazen and stupid, I saw this:
    http://www.nationalreview.com/article/434545/mizzou-firings-chronicle-campus-crisis
    about the dam*ing consequences of their caving in

    and I linked it in my thoughts to something I happened to see today on Fox news, some female-looking person saying how clever Trump was to be enlightened on transgenders using their bathroom of choice,
    and how NC was hemorrhaging money from all of the people refusing to do business with them, etc.

    The media is beginning to look more and more like the commentary of “The Hunger Games” ,
    and they don’t get the irony when they watch it.

    It’s like an alternative school run by Bill Ayers putting on a production of “Animal Farm” or something.

  10. I must say, though,
    people who want to go out of their way to pick a fight with NC probably outnumber those who will pick up and move to it.

  11. the capitol gorges itself while the districts lay fallow, the dionysian nature of the capital, resembles the city centers of san francisco and new york,

    narciso (732bc0)

  12. and parts of Philly,
    and I imagine elsewhere

    MD in Philly (f9371b)

  13. well philly is more like district 8, along with baltimore,

  15. And the GOPe’s response to guys with hairy balls, sitting in the next stall, as your 14 year old daughter is pee’ing??????????????
    We’re f(redacted), apparently nobody in the GOPe has the aforementioned BALLS.

    GUS (30b6bd)

  16. MD. Hola my friend. What is a “transgendered person”?? Spruce Jenner is a MAN, not much of a man these days, but still in possession of his TWIG and BERRIES, such as they are.
    If….If Jenner is ABLE to pretend that HE is a SHE, and IF Jenner is by all accounts, still a ……………….errrrrrr….MAN. Why can’t Sprucey Jenner pretend to be a woman AND ALSO PRETEND that the MEN’S ROOM is the LADIES ROOM???? Lastly, if Jenner had a TRUMP 2016 BRA and PANTIES set, wouldn’t HIS entry into the LADIES ROOM, make the LADIES ROOM …..”Unsafe”. Specifically if JENNER tried to enter a LADIES room on a COLLEGE CAMPUS???

    Logic is your friend.

  17. A dead obama would bring peace to the world.

  18. This was on chinese news last night.

    The entire world is watching the Obama administration play the fool.

    ZaiZhongGuo (ed7b93)

  19. Voters are the fools as well. Republicans should have fought the good fight and impeached this bastige. Instead they drank chablis and ate gouda.

    mg (31009b)

  20. Gus,
    I don’t disagree with you,
    I was just using their terminology

  21. This nitwit, Kirby, was a two star admiral before retiring to take the State Department job. What do you think this tells us about the current state of the US military?

    Ephraim Williams (a75c3f)

  22. I blame the voters.

    G6loq (3a2647)

  23. does the navy really count as military anymore

  24. Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

  25. When I was a lad I served a term
    As office boy to an attorney’s firm
    I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor
    And I polished up the handle of the big front door
    He polished up the handle of the big front door

    I polished up that handle so carefully
    That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navy
    He polished up that handle so carefully
    That now he is the Ruler of the Queen’s Navy

    nk (dbc370)

  26. That apostrophe is in the wrong place: Queens’ Navy.

    nk (dbc370)

  27. That was go GUS. Now what can you do with Rachel Dolezal, the white girl who “identifies” as black? Wouldn’t it be cool if she decided beside being black she “identified” as a man? So she’d be a white girl in a black man’s body. Kinda sums up the whole democrat party.

  28. Greetings:

    The lying lips, having again lied, lied on.

    I can no longer bear to see President Obama’s image nor hear his voice, so I will forego your viewing tips.

    As to now Mr. Kirby, he was formerly an Admiral of some sort and the spokesofficer for the Pentagon, because how could the Pentagon possibly get by with, say, a Captain as a spokesofficer. What used to amuse me when I was still amusable was when he swould stand in front of the oval plaque that showed the Pentagon (similar to the White House plaque, but different) and underneath had Washington as its geographical indicator to make his let’s say pronouncements. I haven’t kept up with modern progressive geography, but I seem to remember the Pentagon as being in Arlington, VA which I took as a subliminal comment on the organization’s current allegiance to the truth. Mr. Kirby has earned his qualification in the category I mentioned in the paragraph above.

  29. 250 personnel is a huge swat team to go up against a house with 5 or so criminal pot dealers.

    do you think he is sending too many?

  30. Barack Obama is getting more sense. I think it’s not really limited to another 50. President Obama really likes technology, where few people are involved and none of them take risks, and it doesn’t cost money.

    Theer are 3 parts to this: 1) Drones, 2) special forces, who have been given orders not to make themselves visible to the enemy, let alone put themselves within firing range, and otehrwise act as high ranking officers for whatever army they can find or create that will follow their commands,, training them to fight the U.S. way – low casualties and patience, and 3) cyber-warfare, disruting ISIS’s operations which are actually quite computerized, but not sophisticated in terms of guarding aaginst hacking doing such things as issuing bad orders, including orders to go to places where they can be bombed.

    This actually seems to be working, albeit slowly. As long as he doesn’t make it totally impossible, and the next president doesn’t sabotage it, we should win and capture Mosul in 2017 and maybe Raqqa before.

  31. Actually, you are being stupid. We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

  32. Sketchers Performance is proud to receive the award to shoe the troops on the ground in Syria.

    There are not boots.
