ISIS is laughing at the anemic US and “fauxalition” joke of a response. An airstrike here and there, as the murdering Islamic lunatics take over more and more territory.
Now they are poised to invade, overwhelm, and commit mass murder in the most grisly forms they can think of in the Syrian border town of Kobani — as Turkish troops sit less than a quarter mile from the town sunbathing on the hulls of their tanks and talking about who will win next week\’s soccer game.
And what will the President of the United States – the President who told us that al-qaeda was virtually decimated and ISIS…oh, excuse me, ISIL…was a just a “Jayvee” squad – going to be doing about it?
He\’ll be “leading from behind”. That has been his byword through 6 years of an abysmally failed presidency.
But what does “leading from behind” mean he will specifically do today, as the massacre of Kobani residents is imminent?
Why, he\’ll be in LA, at Gwyneth Paltrow\’s house, for a cocktail-hour-and-dinner fundraiser – where rich Democrats will fork over more tens of thousands a person to hear him lament how disdainful Republicans are of the middle and lower classes. Just like he did two days ago, in New York, at billionaire Richie Richman\’s house.
Kobani? What\’s that?
I have a theme song for you, Mr. President, that you can sing to the tune of the 1964 hit “Domani” (or, in your case, “Da Money”):
Let\’s forget about Kobani,
Let\’s forget about Kobani,
Let\’s forget about Kobani,
While the campaign money comes.
Maybe you can get Gwyneth and all her rich friends to sing along. Since “Domani” was the theme song for “The Yellow Rolls-Royce”, they\’ll probably feel right at home with it.
