We noted yesterday how General David Petraeus recently warned the Iranian Militias were a greater threat than the Sunni ISIS fighters they oppose. Fighting to aid the Shiite Militia is -for all intents and purposes- direct aid to agenda of Iran. FUBAR.

Meanwhile the Kurdish people who could really benefit from our efforts, and who pose no threat to U.S. interests, are left without support and/or weapons to fight.

(Via Long War Journal) The US-led military Coalition in Iraq is openly supporting Iranian-backed Shiite militias and Iraqi forces who are battling Islamic State fighters entrenched in Tikrit. Many of the Shiite militia commanders are listed by the US as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, and one militia is listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Many of the commanders and militias are responsible for killing US, Coailition, and Iraqi troops and civilians during the occupation of Iraq.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) announced today that “operations to support Iraqi Security Forces in Tikrit have commenced after a request from the Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al Abadi,” in a press released issued by the US-led command. (more…)

Whaaambulance – The BGI failed, yet again, to gain traction on their #BLM and #FTP agenda because their chosen victim was, well, not a victim. But they’ll keep gnashing and drum beating while looking for the next locale… The entire shtick is getting old.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Nearly 100 supporters looked on as a University of Virginia student arrested by state alcohol regulators in a bloody encounter made his first court appearance.

On Thursday, Martese Johnson’s case was continued until state police complete an investigation into his arrest March 18 outside a Charlottesville bar.

The 20-year-old Chicago man is charged with public intoxication and obstruction of justice. (more…)

It’s the progressives #1 Obamacare claim – if you want to repeal it, you are throwing 16 million people off healthcare plans. So when the CBS team tries the question, Ted Cruz gives them an accurate retort. Well done.

…”Well, you know, those numbers don’t tell the whole picture. For one thing, the bulk of those numbers are coming from expanded Medicaid. And Medicaid is a program where a lot of the people on Medicaid are not getting health care. Medicaid is a system that is already overburdened and more and more people are just getting waiting lists and not actually getting health care. Beyond that — remember, six million people had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare. You’re not doing someone a favor if you cancel the health insurance they like and then force them to buy new health insurance at higher premiums that covers less”….

No details yet, but this essentially destroys the Obama claim the U.S. was not working with Iranian army.

FUBAR NUTS – not only is the U.S. facilitating the Iranians to gain the capability for nuclear weapons – but our U.S. Air Force is now conducting air strikes to benefit the Shia Army of Iran and General Qasem Soleimani. Why it was only a few days ago when Petraeus was asked:

QUESTION – What are your thoughts when you see Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC’s Quds Force commander who funded and armed the militias who blew up U.S. troops [killing and wounding thousands of U.S. soldiers] and shelled the U.S. Embassy while you were in it, taking battlefield tours like you used to?

[…]  I have several thoughts when I see the pictures of him, but most of those thoughts probably aren’t suitable for publication in a family newspaper like yours. What I will say is that he is very capable and resourceful individual, a worthy adversary. He has played his hand well. But this is a long game, so let’s see how events transpire.

Don’t be fooled by media reports claiming the Iranian’s are to blame for the “nuclear deal” not being formally written down. This is absolutely a McDonough, Jarrett, Blinkin and Rhodes type of proposition. 

This approach absolutely reeks of Denis McDonough strategery.  This verbal-only construct benefits the White House FAR MORE more than the Iranians.

By agreeing to something that is not technically written down and bindingly agreed to, and by relying only on spoken acceptances of what constructs the agreement, the U.S. electorate and congress is forced to accept the word of President Obama and John Kerry for what the agreement actually entails. This is highly strategic maneuvering to avoid sunlight upon the agreement itself.

PARIS (NYT) — If an agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear capability is reached by deadline in the next seven days, one thing may be missing: an actual written accord, signed by the Iranians.

Over the past few weeks, Iran has increasingly resisted any kind of formal “framework” agreement at this stage in the negotiations, preferring a more general statement of “understanding” followed by a final accord in June, according to Western diplomats involved in the talks. (more…)

In order to fully appreciate the insufferable political logic of the Obama administration two videos should be fully watched.

Keep in mind the White House position, to explain their anguish, about Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to say “words matter”, yet when confronted with the words of the Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khomeini it appears the emphasis is on an entirely divergent belief.

If you have time it’s worthwhile to watch both videos:

Obamacare sucks. Everything about it was based on lies, false presentations, and outright manipulative efforts from Democrats.

As a direct result of the worst legislation ever constructed the vast majority of Democrats have been running from it ever since it was signed into law. Democrats know know the toxic nature of the fraud they created. Higher insurance costs, lower healthcare services and financial impacts to the average person that are ridiculously unaffordable.

Obamacare is the primary drag on the economy and businesses, sucking money away from businesses and individuals. Hence Democrats have continually asked for delays in an effort to avoid the political consequences. Here’s another:

(Via Daily Caller) A group of Democratic senators is urging the Obama administration to delay a key portion of Obamacare because the results could be “harmful and disruptive.”

In a letter exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller, Senate Democrats pleaded with Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell to delay an Obamacare rule change that puts companies with 51 to 100 employees in the costlier “small group” market instead of the “large group” market. The rule change, which will result in higher premiums for many companies, goes into effect in 2016. (more…)

Despite frequent indications to the contrary, leftists continue to proclaim the intellect of President Obama. However, during a press conference today the real intellect surfaces.

In a press conference to announce that there will be no troop drawdown in Afghanistan this year, Obama referred to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as “President Karzai” while he was standing right next to him. (read more)

A little more than a month ago Dear Leader referred to James Franco as “James Flacco” while talking about Sony’s decision to pull “The Interview” from theaters over a hacking scandal at the hands of North Korea.

President Obama is executing the “Power Doctrine”. And by Power we do not mean a force of strength; no, we mean the last name of the person who has constructed the doctrine, Samantha Power.

Anyone who has spent much time researching the Obama administration from candidate election ’07 through presidential policy directives in 2015 will completely understand this Samantha Power Doctrine. It should not come as a surprise.

The Power Doctrine toward Israel has been an ideological iceberg for many years; less than a third of it visible at any given moment in time with the majority hidden beneath the surface. We have outlined it exhaustively -as we travel toward that ultimate White House objective- we have tried to point it out each time the water cleared.

I wrote about it last week after it was discovered that President Obama called Benjamin Netanyahu.

Perhaps many people just couldn’t bring themselves to believe it, but here it is directly from the mouth of Denis McDonough yesterday. Note specifically what he says at the end of this segment because it is crucial to understanding the influence of Samantha Power. “Israel is an occupying force”.
