#189) More Gibberish

Dear Mr. President (aka Idiot in Chief),

Have you missed me?  I had to stop writing to you for a while there because following you so closely was making we sick with stress, worry, and anger.  But the other day when you were interviewed by CBS's Margaret Brennan the sheer lunacy of your responses to her questions motivated me to write again.

Here's just one gem from the interview...

During the campaign (oh those glory days!) you were very fond of saying that President Obama made strategic mistakes by "telegraphing" his military moves. You were quite adamant about this in fact.  Then you made the decision – unilaterally and against ALL reasonable advice – to pull US troops out of Syria and there was a tremendous and very public response.  (It was actually a global response in case you have forgotten but we won't dwell on that now).   When Ms. Brennan asked you about the hypocrisy of this you said:

            "I'm not telegraphing anything.  No, no, no. There's a difference. When President 

             Obama pulled out of Iraq in theory we had Iraq. In other words, we had Iraq. 

            We never had Syria because President Obama never wanted to violate the red line 

            in the sand. So we never had Syria. I was the one that actually violated the red line

            when I hit Syria with 59 Tomahawk missiles, if you remember. But President 

            Obama chose not to do that. When he chose not to do that, he showed tremendous 

            weakness.  But we didn't have Syria whereas we had Iraq. So when he did what he

            did in Iraq, which was a mistake. Being in Iraq was a mistake. Okay.  Being in 

           Iraq- it was a big mistake to go- one of the greatest mistakes  going into the Middle 

           East that our country has ever made. One of the greatest mistakes that we've ever 

           made—"

Where oh where do I start to untangle this?  This statement A) doesn't answer the question, and B) isn't even coherent. This nonsensical garbage wouldn't be tolerated in my child's homework yet we tolerate it from the President of the United States.  You are an utter embarrassment to this nation.

With Disgust,

Amy Beaton
