Political discussions about everything

the Assad regime is thumbing it's nose at relinquishing its chemical weapons -- leaving U.S. officials scrambling to pressure the Syrian government to honor the terms of last year's deal. U.S. Defense officials say none of Syria's chemical stockpiles have arrived at the port in Italy where the MV Cape Ray is slated to begin its mission, because Bashar Assad refuses to release roughly 96 percent of his stockpile which should have been destroyed by now.

The Obama administration acknowledged on Thursday that the regime has shipped out less than 5 percent of its chemical arms. The country missed all deadlines set by Obama to ship its chemical agents out of the country.

This, despite President Obama declaring in his State of the Union address that Syria's chemical weapons "are being eliminated" thanks to American diplomacy. Assad is shown on State television laughing at Obama during his State of Union Address alledging Syria's chemical weapons were being eliminated.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with his Russian counterpart earlier in the week about the concerns, and asked for Moscow's help.

"This is not rocket science here. They're dragging their feet," she said. "We need them to pick up those feet and run with this and move forward in moving the chemical weapons stockpile to the port, we also need Russia to help as they promised during negotiations."

Earlier this week, Obama's Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admitted in a written report to the Senate intelligence committee that the failed chemical weapons deal have helped give the Assad regime "legitimacy."

He also said 7,000 foreign fighters are now operating in Syria, noting his concern that Al Qaeda could use Syria to launch a terror attack against the U.S. has grown since the Administration's agreement with Assad. Clapper announced that he was disappointed in the whole process and planned on retiring from public service.

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” "Assad knows that we are serious when we say he must keep his promises to the International community." When pointed out that just 4% of Syria’s 530 metric tons of most-dangerous chemicals have been removed so far, despite a Dec. 31, 2013, deadline for removing all of them, McDonough admitted Assad isn't cooperating but the White House has faith he will come around. Mr. McDonough stopped short of saying what the U.S. would do if the Assad regime doesn’t change course. “I’m not going to get into any ‘or whats’ ” he said.
Assad and Putin have spanked Obama again.

Much has been made of the disaster of Obama's domestic policy, where he has spent the U.S. into about 7 trillion more in debt, the economy remains weak, and unemployment remains with a U-6 real rate of 13.1 percent per the Dept of Labor.

But what receives less attention is the total disaster of Obama's foreign policy, with the U.S. rapidly having less importance on the global stage.

Obama promised to make punishing those responsible for Benghazi his top priority, over a year later those who killed our people are on talk shows bragging about it, Obama says Benghazi is nothing but a Republican witch hunt, time to move on, Benghazi is old news.

Obama promised the world that if Assad used chemical weapons on his people that would be crossing a red line and the US would use military force to remove him. Assad used chemical weapons on his own people and taunted Obama, a year later Assad has stepped up the murdering of his citizens, Obama says it's time for talks.

5 years ago Obama told the World he would not allow Iran to develop a uranium enrichment program, he would use what means possible to shut down any attempts at enrichment if talks fail. Now that Iran has a huge uranium enrichment program, Obama says he's in talks with them to slow it down.

Last year Obama proudly announced to the World Al Qaeda is no longer a credible threat and on the run. This week Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified Al Qaeda probably poses an even bigger challenge today than it ever has. Clapper made the blunt statements during the annual worldwide threat hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. He described how Al Qaeda has evolved over the years, with several franchises now operating across a dozen countries.

Germany and France no longer trust America to stand by allies or to tell them the truth. Israel once our strongest Allie openly says Obama is a threat to the World's peace. The UK has stopped sharing their top secret intelligence not trusting the Obama Administration with it.

Africa is on the brink of a civil war and Obama is building up to put our troops in the middle of it to play referee for the warring clans.

Obama has failed at everything he has done...or was it all part of his plan to destroy the United States to rebuild is a socialist country.
