Maybe GorT should have come up with a classier title for this post but with all the directions that I could take this post, I figured I’d keep it simple.  GorT has been having a great time with getting his family back into the swing of the school start and working hard at some challenging tasks.  His fellow Gormogons have been posting a number of great insights into the issues surrounding our country’s current position regarding Syria.

The position I’d like to highlight is how baldly stupid President Obama is at this time.  Holy ELEVENT!Y@Y@  Here is the President who, as a candidate, campaigned on drawing down American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.   He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.  Within the past 12 months, he argued that any unilateral action against Syria without ally support is a mistake.  Yet, he has ramped up drone strikes and championed exactly what he termed a mistake.  While the intelligence might be solid, there are no United Nations sanctions to use as a basis of action and almost no foreign support.  This is significantly less than what President Bush had going into Iraq in 2003. 

Uh oh.  Now I’ve stepped in it.  I’m referencing President Bush and Iraq and making a comparison with the current situation.  Ok, first, yes, it’s not the same so it isn’t an apples to apples comparison but there are threads to pull.

The antiwar movement from the left has gone strangely quiet.  Where is Code Pink and the rest of the people arguing about Haliburton and Syria-for-oil?  Where are the yard signs that read “War is Not the Answer” and “No War in Syria”?

Has Oslo called asking for their Peace Prize back yet?

Where are all the fiscal hawks in the Democrat party that pointed at the costs of Iraq?  Are these costs, while not at that level, just fine with them?

Let’s face it: Obama is being exposed for what he is – underqualified, undervetted, and underwhelming.

Maybe he can secure the Catholic vote by latching onto Pope Francis’ call for a day of prayer and fasting for peace in Syria.   Hmmm….I doubt it.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
