The Iranian bombing and the useful idiots on the left

The Iranian bombing and the useful idiots on the left

I am no expert on foreign policy nor to I profess to be such. Do you know any? I know only one person and he will tell you that his expertise is localized and not universal. So I wonder what will be the consequences of the attack on Iran? Will the world be safer now that Khamenei and his close associates are now dead? Recall when Sadaam Hussein was deposed and we were told that the world would now be safer? If it happened it was too subtle for me to see. Seems like when Hussein was there, he kept fighting with the Iranians which lessened their terrorism against the rest of us. Or was I just imagining that?

Well Khamenei and his buds had to have been the dumbest leaders ever – this side of Maduro. I can’t imagine that after all the military buildup in the Gulf and Trump’s sword rattling that Khamenei and at least 40 of Iran’s senior leadership would allow themselves to be killed just sitting around sipping tea. BTW, Wikipedia is calling the killing an assassination. Hadn’t they shelters or safe houses? Haven’t they heard of Zoom? Leadership this incompetent doesn’t deserve to continue. But what will take its place? More hardline clerics? Bringing back the son of the Shah? Democratic rule? What will be the impact on the Middle East? What will be the impact on the rest of the world? What will be the impact on Ukraine where the Russians relied on Iran for supplies and drones?

Of all the uncertainly in the world, one thing was certain. When the bombing started I was awaiting the announcement from the Iranians of a school or mosque or a hospital being bombed with a bunch of children killed (remember the hospital in Gaza?). I was also expected the sycophants in the west to run with the story without vetting it trying to drum up sympathy for the poor revolutionary guards and henchmen that were killed. I was also expecting the Israelis and Americans to counter the story saying that the hospital/school/mosque was actually hit by a stray Iranian missile – the old gang that couldn’t shoot straight story. And lo and behold! All that happened just like clockwork. Also certain was that like clockwork our local Muslim cheerleaders like Zohran Mamdani, Illan Omar and Rashida Tlaib would rush to condemn the US attack and parrot the Iranian propaganda. You mean they were happy with Khamenei’s oppressive regime and the export of terror around the globe? I really don’t believe that. Rather they relish any opportunity to condemn America and especially Trump. Its like that old story about if Trump fell out of a boat and started walking on water, the headlines would read “Trump can’t swim!”

Omar, a Somali, tweeted “Trump has launched an illegal regime change war. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.” Mamdani, an Ugandan, said “Today’s military strikes by the United States and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal act of war of aggression. Bombing cities, killing civilians, opening up a new theater of war — Americans do not want this. Americans do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. We want an answer to the affordability crisis. We want peace.” Tlaib, a Palestinian, was the most forceful of the group saying of Trump “He doesn’t care about our loved ones in the military. He doesn’t care about the Iranian people. He is corrupted. Don’t fall for the lies.” Tlaib cares about our military? Now that’s a new one. She also bought the Irani propaganda about the bombing of the school lock stock and barrel saying “The Trump Administration and Israeli regime’s illegal war of aggression on Iran has already killed dozens of children, and more horrific death and destruction will come.” Are they defending the barbaric actions of the Khamenei regime that spread terror across the region, threatened to nuke Israel, imprisoned and raped women who wouldn’t wear a hajib, viciously repressed women, gays and religious minorities and culminated in the killing of thousands of their own citizens? 

I guess I am not surprised by these comments or by the western media immediately accepting Iranian propaganda as fact. I think we call these “useful idiots.” We have seen this too many times before. We have also seen the “organic” instantaneous appearance of protests across America against the bombing. You mean all these people are pro-Khamenei? Hardly, they are not pro-Khamenei. They are anti-American. But don’t misunderstand, I am not one to believe the American and Israeli propaganda either. 

But did you notice that the reaction of most of the democrat leadership was different from these Muslim-Americans? Typically it was just whining. Chuck Schumer complained that the administration failed to provide Congress and the public with “essential details about the scope and urgency of the threat” and that “President Trump’s erratic cycles of escalation and the risk of a widening conflict do not constitute a sustainable strategy.” Ho hum. Mark Warner bemoaned that Trump recognizing the Iranian threat was insufficient to exempt the president from the obligation to operate within the law and called on the president to present a clear strategy, a defined objective, and a plan to prevent escalation. Whoopie. And of course John Fetterman was on the other side saying “President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.” Sidebar: for those who say that Fetterman should switch parties, please shut up. Fetterman is far to the left of every republican senator and has no business being in the same party as Marsha Blackburn. Fetterman needs to stay a democrat and we should hope for more democrats like him. More and more he is reminding me of Scoop Jackson.

One last point, I know that there are those among us who want to deport every illegal saying because they are illegal it means that they have broken our laws which by definition makes them criminals. But consider this a case of bait and switch. Biden and the democrats made them welcome and invited them in. And in response here they came. Many left families, friends, their homeland and culture – giving it all up for a better life for themselves and their children. You want to send them back when most embody what you contend are your own values? They are Christians, have strong nuclear families, are against abortions, hard working and want to fulfil the American dream. Thank your stars that our neighbors to the south are Christians and not Muslims. We are not being invaded by a group that wants to impose Sharia law. We are not being invaded by those who want to veil our women, make them cover their faces and heads, not send them to school or radicalize them to go kill those who don’t agree. If anything, experience has shown us that the immigrants from the south will become enculturated, love America and contribute to our wellbeing. I have often said that I wish our native born had the same drive, determination and work ethic as those who came across our southern border. Again, thank your lucky stars that those from the south have western values and aspirations because can you imagine how different our problems would be if there had been 10 million Muslims walking across the border instead?
