the president is speaking tonight at nine o'clock on looking forward to
watching this
I you know setting everything aside in just
in as as as a fundamental statement principal
one of the things I've been most impressed about this president
over the last six years and and you know I have areas a policy disagree with him
free trade for example
but one of the areas where I been most impressed by the sky
is that he plays the long game he's
he is thoughtful is to liberate he has good judgment
in my opinion actor that he has very good judge but I don't think he's been
well served by everybody and his staff i think is his
messaging and communications are are are weak
people don't know all the accomplishments
his administration i mean you know is just
extraordinary some other stuff that they've done from
stopping predatory one in the soldiers to stop in lost time to stop in torture
to increase in spending for the Viator
letting women serve on subs equal pay for women nuclear arms reduction &
disposal agreement nailing BP strength in the EPA
me just cuz I'm not not to mention Obamacare and the most important of all
the things he did
is he stopped the Great Depression now
I would argue or it was not stopped as comprehensively as it could be but that
would require action by Congress congress' reregulate the banks in this
congress will not go along with
anything that might help this president or that might help this nation
so you know all that said I thought I think his judgment is excellent and
you know we'll see if he's good about to this kind of pressure but as I said we
went through this in 2001
went through this in 2004 with Nick bird being beheaded in the four guys
burned bodies hanging from the bridge in solution and so what did we do we went
into Felucci we basically
bomb that town back to the Stone Age and now it's a nice a stronghold Hereford
isn't it is
you know it's it's a damn close to it surprise surprise and and then
we see this peace david Kerr Patrick the September 7 writing in The New York
Times
about gutter which is spelled like Qatar
gutter supportive Islamists alienates allies near and far as the headline
and his is you know leads two sentences
standing at the front of a conference hall and Ohana dawes the capital city of
gutter
the visiting shake told his audience have wealthy Qataris
it to help the battered residents a Serie A they shouldn't bother with
donations to humanitarian programs
or to the western-backed Free Syrian Army instead he said
give your money to the ones who will sell spend it on G hard not on
aid this is Shak hi Josh
L I Jimmy and he's a
fundraiser for Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate
al Qaeda Syrian affiliate you know a good chuckle that is what we know is I
sis

and at least a half a dozen others identified by the United States is
private fundraisers for al Qaeda Syrian franchise
operate freely and %ah and the state of gutter itself is given money to the
Taliban in Afghanistan to
a Mosin Gaza rebels from Syria militias in Libya
allies in the Muslim Brotherhood across the neighborhood in
across the region goes on to say shake I should be readily tabs donors in Saudi
Arabia sometimes even making their pitches
and saudi and kuwaiti owned television networks
yes they're doing telethons to raise money for ice
New York Times three days ago
look it up david Kerr packard
I would be astounded given the political power that Qatar
and Saudi Arabia have in the united states and this was another
interesting and long piece i believe it was the new york times over the weekend
but a bit in the washington post
temperatures near Times about how all these foreign governments
some thirty of them now have major presence is in the united states where
they're hiring lobbying and law firms
to present their case to Congress and their room and their on and their
funding
think tanks like the Brookings Institution
being funded by foreign governments who then come up with think tank reports
their favorable those foreign governments
why because I've citizens united and this is exactly
what John Paul Stevens wrote about in his dissent answers as an added he said
this is like saying Tokyo rose can have our way
Tokyo Rose has as you know there were two the woman for broadcast in japan to
our troops same you guys are going to lose weight just give up
in perfect English when he you know this is
this is that
so what we what we need to be doing is we need to be clamping down on the
sources of funding for ices
which includes cut to gutter and Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates
and perhaps others we need to be organizing coalitions UHV
local Sunni groups you know it babe present Obama strapping Turkey in on us
okay Turkey would be a great ally it's a largely Sunni country country it's a
largely secular government
arm the problem is turkey is fighting a war with the kurds in their South
which is the border with the kurds in the north of Iraq
and we're supporting the Kurds in Iraq which
turkey calls terrorists
sorry there's all these weird all alliances and in our relations and
things that
just makers really map
the president tonight is gonna say I how we're gonna jump in with both feet high
well I hope not what would you like
the president to say tonight I'd like him to say you know we're gonna
prosecute the war criminals bush-cheney
