Israel Stops Taking Counsel from the Angel of Death

Israel's taming of Hezb'allah puts paid to the idiotic Obama, Biden/Harris notion that appeasing the master of Middle East terrorism, Iran, and forcing Israel to ever more concessions is the pathway to peace.

The message in Lee Smith’s brilliant article in Tablet Magazine this week is that the U.S. must stop losing wars. We create and fund and staff our military to protect us and it’s time to do that:

Only a fool could be blind to the fact that the Pentagon way of war, three decades into the 21st century and a world away from the United States’ last conclusive victory, means death for all who pursue it.

If Washington and the Europeans are appalled by Israel’s campaign over the last two weeks, it’s because the Israelis have resurfaced the ugly truth that no modish theories of war, international organizations, or even American presidents could long obscure. Wars are won by killing the enemy, above all, those who inspire their people to kill yours. Killing Nasrallah not only anchors Israel’s victory in Lebanon but reestablishes the old paradigm for any Western leaders who take seriously their duty to protect their countrymen and civilization: Kill your enemies.

Before I discuss any more about this, I’d like to briefly summarize this week’s astonishing news, news which puts paid to the idiotic Obama, Biden/Harris notion that appeasing and paying off the master of Middle East terrorism, Iran, and forcing Israel to ever more concessions with Iran’s proxies, is the pathway to peace. Indeed, the consequence of Israel’s continued audacious dismantling of Hamas and Hezb’allah -- the very opposite of what the angels of death -- the U.S. and Western European diplomatic establishment -- advance is the only way to bring peace and prosperity to that long-embattled part of the world.

[idiotic Obama]

He’s not idiotic though he can’t pronounce some words properly.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Manchurian Candidate who, when necessary and advantageous, dragged his feet, put in place lots of idiotic ideas, and poured gasoline on any small fire in America and around the world.

He did one thing that I agreed with: Stopped the ridiculous $35 bank fees if you accidentally went overdraft by 10 cents.

That’s 1 out of 1,000 things that he did right.

[Hezb’allah]

Which is exactly how they should be referenced.

Valerie Jarret is not going to be happy.

Every single decision made during Obama's time in office is exactly what Valerie Jarret - an Iranian Muslim - would have wanted. I'm not saying that she made all the decisions, but the difference doesn't matter. Whether she was actually making the decisions or Obama made his own decisions, the result was the same.

He may be here just to do what he did

Israel is the Little Satan

USA is the Big Satan

I think that was according to Iran

Note the policies of one Barack Hussein Obama - and his friends

Valerie Jarret is not going to be happy. And that is a very good thing.
