TIPS FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 29

Tell us the news here.

 Hidden Nuggets & they are gold.

 This is a first for Bolt or a very rare moment notice, however, there is no Banner to announce an apology to the ABC. You have to discover the invisible nugget by clicking on the post. It's like the Ghost in the Machine.

Along with that nugget, there is another one " The great Charles Krauthammer died recently. I was going through some of his finest observations, and came across this:
"Life and consciousness are the two great mysteries. Actually, their substrates are the inanimate. And how do you get from neurons shooting around in the brain to the thought that pops up in your head and mine? There's something deeply mysterious about that. And if you're not struck by the mystery, I think you haven't thought about it."

Krauthammer seems as a psychiatrist to be deferring to the Descartes Philosophical mind-body Dualism a treatise raised in the 17th Century a mystery not raised by Bolt's brilliant Krauthammer. Gilbert Ryle 1949 declared this was a great mistake to treat the mind as some immaterial substance as a Ghost in the Machine. Neuroscience has come a long way to suggest he just might be right. Whereas believers in the soul or that ghost haven't enlightened us any further than Plato did.
What it shows is Bolt doesn't seem to have a clue and seems to think that Dualism is a great philosophical mystery discovered by a Right-Wing shrink called Krauthammer who was a commentator on Fox news.
Now that's a sign that Bolt wasn't educated at Adelaide University

Lifeline migrant  rescue ship 'not allowed' to dock in Malt

Yesterday Bolt called this the EU's Tampa and applauded the EU for turning Australian. What are the chances that he will admit he was wrong? I bet he stays silent.

ANNING: WHY DO WE AID PEOPLE WHO FUND TERRORISTS?

Senator Fraser Anning asks why we send $43 million a year in aid to the Palestinian territories when the Palestinian Authority pays $56 million a year to terrorists who attack Israelis or to the relatives of "martyrs" who died trying. From The Bolt Report.

15m

"For years Gaza’s health sector has been on the verge of collapse after successive Israeli assaults, chronic power shortages, drug shortages and deteriorating functionality of medical equipment due to Israel’s blockade.
The authors state that “it is reasonable to assume” that these factors “have had an impact on the quality of medical care with a consequent impact on infant mortality.” It's been found to be X7 higher than in Israel. Gaza houses 2 million people of which 1.5 million were displaced by Israel from their land and homes in Israel.
There is no doubt that Gaza’s health sector crisis is largely of Israel’s making.
The United States was the largest single donor to UNRWA before the Trump administration announced cuts in contributions to the agency in January.
The US has since withheld $305 million, leaving the agency scrambling to raise $200 million in emergency funds to cover such basics as rice, flour, sugar and education.
Earlier this month, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned that if the shortfall is not met soon, UNRWA “may be unable to provide schooling for half a million children in the coming school year, and be obliged to reduce other key humanitarian services.”

Anning and Bolt want Australia to cut aid as well

Why are are we jailing fundraisers for, say al Qaeda affiliates like the al Nusra Front, when the US  and Israel are assisting and funding them and we are acting as their de facto air force along with Israel. For years the most sophisticated intelligence services in the world have pretended they are clueless as to how these people we call terrorists have access to US weapons and Western made equipment and how they can shift hundreds of millions of dollars around the world? Yet ASIO and the AFP  cry out Eureka because they have caught a 20 something, a kid in Sydney sending $3000 to Turkey for aid to Syria. Doesn't that logic tell you that countries with the ability to view and listen to people from outer space are scamming and bullshitting the world and MSM like News Corp is helping?

Anning is right why do we aid Israel they are terrorists? Why does America and Australia aid Israel one of the worlds biggest arms dealers supplying weapons to not just tyrants in Africa but to anybody who has the money to buy. They would be happy to supply Hamas for a profit after all they are supplying al Nusra while we were jailing Zacky Mullah for supporting them as well.

A bigger joke is these guys Bolt and Anning are talking to us from the Studios of Rupert Murdoch who is not only an investor in Genie Oil and Gas but a member of the board of advisors. GOG is a corporation illegally searching for black gold, oil rumoured to be in quantities larger than what the Saudis have. So are we expected to believe his organization News Corp is going to tell you that the Israelis are the regions biggest supporters of who we call terrorists? That News Corp is against fossil fuels, Green energy and is a supporter of Democracy and peace in the Middle East? That two million Palestinians to who would like to live in peace and not in the worlds largest outdoor concentration camp are of concern. Anning and Bolt are paid for smokescreen from anything that resembles the truth. So yes the banner he is a reasonable question why do we fund and aid terrorists by proxy like Israel?

GREENS WANT CHRISTIAN FAITH BANNED, ABORIGINAL FAITH KEPT

The Greens want the Lord's Prayer banned from being read at the start of Senate business: “Australia should be free from religious bias." So will the Greens ban the other religious ceremony there - the Aboriginal smoking ceremony at the opening of Parliament that's meant to cleanse it with holy smoke and stop "bad spirits". Daisy Cousens reacts: 

12m
Do Bolt and Cousens actually believe in a Democracy that doesn't include the separation of powers? A fake democracy like that of Israel or the current US government lead by Trump. When elected governments can choose and appoint exclusively only those that vote for them to run all our major economic, security, social and cultural institutions. When corporations, media and governments align you have what is called Fascism. Back in the not so long ago past the Protestant Power elite of the Melbourne Club ensured Jews and Catholics were excluded from the halls of Parliament or any political representation by simple exclusion. 
The Bible used wasn't a papist one or a Tora that's for sure.  What we see today is a vestige of when there was no separation of powers in Australia a time when religion was very much a part of the power club and the Greens simply want whats otherwise oxymoron removed and real Democracy to shine.
As for the smoking ceremony of the first people well that's a sign of respect. Respect that the Australian Parliament which is their's and is inclusive for all Australians quite the opposite of what Andrew Bolt and his whiskey sucking mate Daisy Cousens want symbolised. Theirs is an exclusive attitude that wants a singular Church of England religion to symbolise and define Australia and define a long-term goal of what it means to be Australian. Their view runs counter to 75% of Australians who would not be upset to see and support a purely secular Democracy.

  Right Wing 'Civility': A Collection Of Vile Republican Moments | Crooks and Liars

Trump the man in a suit claims these are real loyal and patriotic Americans. Bolt another man in a suit claims much the same.
 In the twisted world of David Brooks and those like him, civility only applies to those of us on the left.
I beg to differ, and so does our former Managing Editor, Dave Neiwert. Please watch and share these shining examples of right-wing "civility."
Oh hey, also? Charlottesville Nazis got a permit to march in Washington, DC on the anniversary weekend of Heather Heyer's murder. That alone is heinous, but it is just one example of the empowered hard right wing. If we don't start fighting back, I'm not sure we'll have anything left to fight for.

Andrew Bolt's Blog, 2/4/17; Let's start calling Bolt a terrorist because that's what he is; The Dutch obviously don't read Bolt either;

 

Even the Dutch say piss off to Andrew Bolt

 https://www.facebook.com/climatereality/videos/10154294633196479/

They built and invested in The Edge the greenest building ever created. It seems Andrew Bolt is a misfit on both sides of the planet. What's more it's occupied by a multinational firm of economic rationalists Deloittes. Andrew Bolt just seems an all round loser.

 

 
 If We Truly Want To Stay Safe, We Need To Start Calling Violent White Supremacists 'Terrorists' |
 By narrowing the definition of terrorism in his rhetoric, Andrew Bolt is furthering the narrative that the only terrorist threats come from Muslims and alienating other victims of terror in the process.

 If members of ISIL's media support are so easily deemed "terrorists". If Melbournians actively supporting ISIL on social media can be arrested for "assisting terror" why is it that ultra white supremacists like Andrew Bolt can't be cautioned if not arrested for inciting acts of terror? Why isn't Andrew Bolt called out for what he in fact is a white supremacist terrorist, a media recruiter encouraging terror for the cause. Lets face it  ISIL recruiters on social media aren't all  necessarily violent but have earned the label Terrorist.

 "Too often the terrorism label is reserved for those thought to be Muslim, while others suspected of equally heinous crimes tend to be deemed ‘mentally ill.’"
How many times have we heard Andrew Bolt say “the white race is being eroded.”by our immigration policies. These are the exact words used and expressed by white supremacists. It's exactly the sentiments of James Harrison Jackson charged with terrorism in New York for killing black men.
"Charging white supremacists like Jackson with terrorism makes the bigger point that terrorists are not only those with brown skin or foreign-sounding names."
  These instances, some of which are deadly plots by right-wing extremists, rarely attract headlines and even more rarely do we hear the term terrorism used to describe them. Andrew Bolt is certainly batting on that team.

Turnbull’s tax plan is eight times stupid

Bolt's reasoned analysis is an ad for the Australian nothing else.

" None of this makes sense as a political strategy just months out from an election: "

" What the hell is Turnbull doing? "

"  Is Turnbull determined to throw away the next election? Is this really the work of his brains trust?"

Turnbull is 1) offering smaller government by giving states control. 2) Smaller Government is a spending cut. 2 Principles Bolt was arguing for but now he's against simply because it's Turnbull. 

Bolt's points are what's 8 times stupid. One point of administration the states is cheaper than two Bolt count that on your fingers and move your lips.

1 unexplained statement 

2 crystal ball prediction

3 Oh, the work of government is a distraction that's a smart critique

4 Bolt guessing  about what goes on between Turnbull and Morrison won't be raising taxes

5 No it's nothing like the plan Mr Bolt

6 There is no suggestion if the Conservatives do what Bolt is they are simply lying and without any sophistication.

7 Something about waffling but Bolts English is so bad  it makes little sense.

8 Bolt politics is about winning elections not helping the electorate that comes with the passing of bills. Turnbull made a move that's good for the Commonwealth and as far as your concerned it was a move  in the direction youve been screaming for. But it's not Abbott's so it's bad no matter what. Even if it's just politics.

 

No matter how many random points Bolt can count down on his fingers they need to be relevant. Not just an irrelevant distraction which these 8 are. They have no substance.

 Giving states control reduces commonwealth responsibilities which can't address specific concerns as well as the states and it will reduce costs if one government needs to administer it instead of two. The states will be left with the choice of raising or lowering taxes not Turnbull. It's what Bolt has been calling for all along however when it's put in front of him by Malcolm he spits like a child why? He only wants what uncle Tony will provide why? Because Uncle Tony is fit he swims and rides bikes. That's what Bolt tried the other day.

 

 

Does Mark Scott listen to Faine, Harmer, Jones, Adams, Alberici, Williams, Epstein, Colvin, Green..

One only needs to compare Bolt, 2GB and the ABC and it's evidence as to where bias lies. It's not with the ABC. One only needs to ask the electorate where their trust lies and it's not with Andrew Bolt. If elections were run purely on this argument alone  Conservatives like Bolt would never gain power.  84% of Australians trust  the ABC and that says it all. How is it Bolt works for the least trusted media group in the country? Run your polls on this issue  Andrew Bolt, but then you know you don't need to. By the way does Bolt ask everyone he meets who they vote for before living his life or does he allow his wife to live it for him when running scared out of PTA meetings.

Bolts ABC whinge reflects the losing battle News Corp is having with trying to break Auntie up the continuing sliming of Malcolm Turnbull and the primping of Abbott to try to bring on another spill. What we are witnessing  is the disregard at present for the Australian public in favor of the narrow interests of Rupert Murdoch trying to get Bolt's dog back in the race for the promise of destroying the ABC if success can be achieved even at the behest of the destruction of the Liberal Party in the process. Cory Bernardi's fatuous threat of splitting the Liberal Party is simply a part of that strategy in play at the moment. Australia we are the least of these arse-holes concern.

 

 

Racism at the university: white Australian’s aren’t “indigenous”, too

Bolt doesn't believe in learning only training. That the history of Australia is the same as math and therefore invariable " The university is plainly wrong. It is trying to disenfranchise non-Aboriginal Australians of their birth right."Bolt Humans do have rights but not classes of Australians which is the division that Bolt claims is detrimental. He obviously believes in rights  refuses to acknowledge that in our Constitution we have none. There is no Human Rights Bill. Somehow insists however that non- Aboriginal Australian Rights need to be  acknowledged over and above human rights or the human rights of all people in Australia.

"Anyone born here is indigenous to this land, not least because in most cases they have no other place to call home."Bolt On this point Bolt's a liar because it's not what he believes. He's an advocate of citizenship being taken away from those holding dual passports even if born here. He believes those without citizenship do not have the same rights as Australians. 

 Bolt's most insistant on this Position.  However what has made him  a laughing stock is his Solipsism. History didn't begin until he was born. A logic leads him to the conclusion that we only exist because we are in his mind and a figment of his imagination which for some reason he can't but would like to control. People have been put in straight jackets for that. "As I once said: I was born in Australia six years before Pearson. If you consider us as individuals I am more indigenous than Pearson. I “came” here before he did."  Pearson is  only a part of Bolt's imagination.Any wonder he failed university. Yet according to him he's the father of Australian history. Soon there will be no living survivors of WW1 and then it  won't have happened. So why is Bolt complaining he can believe whatever he wants but  he'll just have to put up with the fact that he is not in control of his mind. Heaven help him who has he convinced?Queensland Premier praised for 'invasion' stance in Australian history for Indigenous people - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

1400 “refugees” off Italy in one day

Notice how Bolt didn't mention the mass unity march in Brussels in support of refugees and the rejection of the neo-Nazis that attended. It's called blinkered. Professor Shanahan Bolt's "corrective" below also missed that experience and I guess couldn't comment either.

 

 

 

Big union ruins small truckies

Big Corporations ruin small buiness. Woolworths, Coles, Netflix, Foxtel etc destroy small business not the Unions. A government decision that has unintended consequences for Unions is being used to blame the Unions . Well that seems logical. By the way the decision is not as yet inevitable as Bolt suggests it is. Fear mongering however is Bolt's Conservative tool of trade.

 

 

Treating terrorists as victims

Christian terrorists thought they'd turn up in force in Brussels and were driven away by demonstrators for unity. Christians and Muslims marched together. The neo- Nazis fled. I wonder how many were on social welfare? However does Bolt for one moment think the bigotry and propaganda against Jews didn't create a radicalized resistense? Does he think Germans were born Nazis? That Jews all went to the gas chambers meekly that none were radicalized? Does Bolt think for a moment that the French and Germans confronted by this resistense weren't told they were the cause of it. So the Bolt who were and who weren't the victims in WW2. Your origins are from a pro Nazi town the most famous in Holland. The people of that town supported the terrorists of Jews. That both French and Germans both didn't have people who joined the resistense and not the Nazis and were considered terrorists. What sort of lopsided logic is Bolt trying to convince us of. My mother a German Christian hid 2 Jews in an attic for 18months under the threat of death. Yes she was radicalized but then so was her brother a Nazi. They were from the same family yet didn't talk to each other for years. All were victims and yes even those regarded as terrorists.

Who is associate professor Rodger Shanahan and what a moron. What does travelling done for him? I'm well travelled when Siekhs were being butchered in India. In Jaipur I watched Hindu neighbours crying with their Seikh neighbours as the they cut their top knots off and shaved them to hide them from the extreme right wing Hindu terrorists. People certainly questioned their bigotry and rid themselves of it . To say those killed in terrorist attacks never gave consideration to what they believed is simply stupid. Among those killed you will have found both all however are victims. "Travel in some hard parts of the world, economy class by foot may expand your rather closed mind." Shanahan Yes I was in Iran, Aghanistan, India and during some of the worst times. My life of over 30 years was spent living in the third world what Shanahan  only did  as a tourist I met people of all persuasions but none as stupid as Shanahan who suggests that is the only road to learning and wisdom. Walking through a forest counting trees won't provide you with the concept of a forrest.  Using Shanahan  as a "corrective" which fails to make any sense at all in Bolt's blog unless there's some pearls of wisdom hidden elsewhere.  However there's none in this blog.

 

Turnbull’s latest plan for higher taxes

Daily Bolt tells us of Turnbull's lack of plans for the economy  Today he's fear-mongering and saying he plans to raise taxes by relinquishing responsibilities and giving options to the states. Surely that means  smaller  Commonwealth government and thus cutting spending by the Commonwealth something Bolt always advocates . "Is this bloke just making things up as he goes along?" Bolt 

 That's Bolt for you always reacting and behind the game never ahead of it and always in the opposite direction no matter what the principle is. He sounds like a wrecker like someone else we know. The core of Bolt's conservative thinking is supposed to be smaller government but because of his antipathy for Turnbull he's arguing for maintaining bigger government which inevitably means more spending.

 

What Bolt won't tell you today and admit he was wrong

1) The Egyptian plane was not hijacked by an Islamic Terrorist as he suggested  yesterday

2) The most notable person charged for violence at Donald Trump's rallies was Cory Lewandowski Trump's campaign manager

3) Israel makes $$$ blockading Gaza and Israel dangerous new anti-democracy law

4) How upper class culture excuses rape

5) How the corner stones of British History were all migrant

How dare a Green use the law to silence a Bishop?

" We really are a civilisation in decline, ceding authority to the intolerant and their authoritarian allies in government."

So now Andrew Bolt is not declaring he's talking about  Tony Abbott  who is an the ally of  Bolt's "intolerant " Green yet Bolt isn't calling Abbott out why? His a mate openly told him he was wrong on the Bolt Report. Abbott made it clear he believes that Section 18C is necessary to protect us from I guess the likes of Andrew Bolt.
"the Catholic Church had produced and distributed a booklet which “does immeasurable harm to the wellbeing of same-sex couples and their families across Tasmania” Tasmanian law prohibits offensive and insulting speech not only on race and ethnicity, but on 20 different areas from sexuality to religion belief to political affiliation. 

What is being dealt with is the fact that the Catholic church didn't just express an opinion they actually published and printed that opinion. Now it's been declared they have a case to  answer. So all Bolt is arguing that the law hasn't even the right to ask the question. That is against his free speech argument isn't it? Anyway why has he protected Tony Abbott who is for these  anti- vilification laws and against hate promoters like Bolt and he's attacking a Green? Obviously it's not political

 

The terrorists are weak, they’re just an irritant, it’s our fault, it could be white racists….

" Should a man with this record of dud assurances be a media pundit on Islam and a lecturer at Monash University’s Global Terrorism Research Centre?"

There is every reason we need to listen to Monash and Waleed Aly before Andrew Bolt and it's very simple.

Andrew Bolt's arguments are so weak because 1) they don't analyse the facts as the present themselves in reality.  Monash gathers and studies those facts 2) Bolt's explanations  are driven by his anti- Islam and anti -multicutural agenda within which everything is explained rather than analysed. Any complexity in explanation is reduced and simplified.  Andrew Bolt's explanations simply become ideological and fascist generalizations as are the explanations of ISIS neither are in touch with reality and merely become the propaganda of  mirror opposites without any enlightenment.

Bolt is desperate to connect all terrorist activities committed by Muslims as  having a global and unified anti-Western reason for their being which is not only unstudied but in fact insane. For  ISIS and Bolt  every Muslim political insurrection is connected to the one single Islamic anti-western cause which is simply propaganda.

The events in Camaroon, Mali, Syria , Iraq, Philipines, Paris and New York maybe carried out by Muslims but Muslims like Christians are more that 50% of the worlds population and are geographically located in various nation states with their own political and social histories. The terrorist activities being exercised today or yesterday all have the own  particular social, political and peculiar set of characteristics and are rarely united as Andrew Bolt makes out. He merely squeezes these very disparate and complex  events into singular reasons and sweeping generalizations for no more than  the pursuit of his extremist, conservative, political and disconnected agenda. So yes there  is a very  logical reason to listen to those employed at Monash and not to just  listen to those employed by Rupert Murdoch who has a corrupt influence throughout the Anglo-sphere. Global terrorism is great for the Murdoch business model and a conservative perspective on it is even greater for business. Globally, terrorism is on the rise – but little of it occurs in Western countries 

 

 "No. Averaged over the past 15 years, only 4.4 per cent of attacks and 2.6 per cent of deaths were in Western countries.

There is a far greater threat of death and injury in the West conducted by White Christian terrorists than Muslims. However it's something Bolt simply ignores.

Belgium sends army into the streets to deal with the multicultural threat

" They said  Salah Abdeslam was caught between European authorities hunting him and so-called Islamic State members who were "watching him" and were unhappy that he had not detonated his suicide belt."

Sorry Andrew Bolt neither the Belgians nor the French are calling this a "multicultural " threat. Unlike you the EU is making a distinction between between immigration and refugees and  homegrown political terrorism. Your anti-immigration stance and attempts to relate it to terrorist activity are not holding any weight other than with the ultra -racists of the EU who found Anders Brevik a martyr for their racist cause. The Belgian authorities are chasing a terrorist for crimes committed who happens to be a Muslim. They are not a border force dealing with any threat as seen and described by you.

 

 

 

Is Labor now tougher than Turnbull on national defence?

The News Corp crew working for Rupert Murdoch are a pack of hounds aren't they. Murdoch, we all know, fell out with Turnbull years ago and has always tried to bring him undone ever since.  However to say Peter Dutton is an essential part of any part of a National Security Committee  beggars belief given even he knew it was he that broke the camel's back, that he was the last straw that resulted in Abbott's undoing. Replay the look on Scott Morrison's face in the boomgate video. Peter Dutton couldn't be stopped. The man has a track record. Wow a whole "Troika Of Liberals" support him. Those 3 conservatives who are against Turnbull obviously. No self interest there of course.

What on earth has Dutton to do with this new beat up about the fact that the USA intelligence is so bad it had no clue what Australia was doing when it was clearly doing it in public and the media months before. By the way is Australia informed of every move the USA make. I don't think so. This is definitely a media beat up that really needed to be dealt with among the Americans themselves. Dutton would surely have improved the situation wouldn't he?

 Given Bolt  sees national defence purely through the prism of troops uniforms and guns and force. Is it any surprise he's arguing for yet another Vietnam.

 

 

Rinehart’s mine starts producing. Lucky us

  “We faced the very complex and time and money-consuming task of obtaining many onerous government regulations, approvals, permits, and licences — more than 4000 of them — and that’s not counting even more required for the construction phase,” Rinehart said.
Not one of these regulations prevented Gina forging ahead and paying others to get the job of rubber stamping done.

She then had to build her own train line stretching more than 300km from mine to port — as well as secure all the financing required for the entire mega-project.
 Gina saw this also as worthwhile money spinner. Afterall isn't the nature of business a "risk"? Riskless business is after all an oxymoron. Bolt seems to want to ingratiate himself with Australia's rich.

As it stands, Roy Hill has secured a world record $10 billion debt finance deal, aided by 11 different banks.
 Well banks and investors also showed studied confidence. Is Bolt suggesting the Australian government was a hindrance in insuring the Nations rights were safeguarded. If Gina were a Muslim would Bolt be supporting her as much? 

 

 

 

 

Hundreds of “real extremists” here

" I suspect that the number of extremists, as opposed to “real extremists” is indeed in the thousands.Hizb ut Tahrir alone had 800 people turn up to its last conference." Andrew Bolt also supports Abbott fact that we are at war as we saw in Paris." So are we to allow ISIL fighters to live on unmolested and wreak havoc upon the helpless? Let’s not forget that the law of war prohibits only “excessive” civilian casualties in relation to the military advantage anticipated; it doesn’t require “zero” civilian losses."So Bolt sees nothing wrong with a war at home and even collateral damage is acceptable here as it is in Syria. Both he and ISIS agree there is no room for tolerance. The gray zone needs to be confronted even by mockery.

  So will we begin to hear the voice of Bolt advocating the internment of Australian Muslims or them having wearing of arm bands to publicly identify who they are. After all it's kinder, more humane, more tolerant than just rounding them up and shooting them. Cultural assimilation camps is another alternative for those deemed un- Australian.

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding themselves that they don’t have to fight for their freedom

 ISIL fighters to live on unmolested and wreak havoc upon the helpless? Let’s not forget that the law of war prohibits only “excessive” civilian casualties in relation to the military advantage anticipated; it doesn’t require “zero” civilian losses.

As far as Bolt is concerned peace can only be achieved with the barrel of a gun. Bolt's philosophy is certainly certainly NRA they claim guns are needed for peace that's why  Donald Trump said if Parisians were allowed to carry guns the massacre would never have happened to the extent it did.  More than 100,000 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, accidents, or by police intervention. 31,537 people die from gun violence: ✓ 11,583 people are murdered.

 Bolt advocates guns are good for humanity that extends to wars and the rule of law at the end of a gun only as long as Bolt his kind have that right. Vietnam did not find peace at the end of a gun. There is no peace in Nth Korea but there is the law of the gun.

  What Bolt wants more of to gain respect

 

 

This war on the Islamic State won’t work for a long time

Andrew Bolt in his eagerness to kill people and escalate the war in the Middle East takes the Republican  armchair critics approach to Obama.  Not only has Bolt moved to  Putin  and Russia's position that Assad is ok but he's double crossing  the majority of Syrians trying to free themselves from the Shackles of his regime.  Syrians the coalition once promised to help like the Kurds are now to be forgotten. Death mayhem the escalation of a war means little or nothing to Bolt as long as it's your sons that are sent to do the fighting and not his.  Any action that  strengthens conservative politics domestically or internationally suits Bolt.

Bolt would like us  to believe Obama is the same executive decision maker as were Bush Cheney and Rumsfeld when they lied and  created this mess in 2003 against the advice of all their military advisers. Against those who told them there were  no WMDs in Iraq, Hussein had no expansion plans for Iraq and there was no reason to invade that country. Unlike those GOP criminals in 2003 Obama is taking the advice of his generals and military men who see the Middle East in more complex terms than Bolt's simplistic and politically Conservative terms. Bolt simply resorts to sweeping generalizations whereas  Obama believes in reasoned analysis before action and real US intelligence. Bolt and conservatives like him simply turn US intelligence into an oxymoron a joke. Everything is short term and filtered through the lens of politics and the 2016 election little else matters.

" military officers, diplomats and analysts agree there is no easy formula for victory…"

" The US had hoped to expel Islamic State without laying waste to the economic infrastructure of Syria and Iraq…" 

Respect of the Syrian people is factored in after the war is over.

Bolt on the other hand goes with the John Wayne approach the one that took us to Vietnam and the peace that the barrel of a gun  failed to bring.
"Let’s not forget that the law of war prohibits only “excessive” civilian casualties in relation to the military advantage anticipated; it doesn’t require “zero” civilian losses." We can argue about "excessive" later it's purely a legal term yet to be defined so let's go in shooting from the hip.

It goes to show the degree of difference with which Bolt sees the threat of a single  lone wolf  attack  here  not   as a crime by a nutter  or a misguided youth. It's real illegitimate terror it different to the legitimate terror and  "collateral damage" we are allowed to do  to hand out to Syrian civilians when sending in troops to gun down ISIS in a crowd. As far as Bolt is concerned he places no value on Middle Eastern families, mothers, fathers and children.

 Further if they run and try to get to the EU  he calls them "illegals",  economic refugees and suspect terrorists as well. Bolt is the armchair butcher and it's all so easy for him.There is No Military Solution: Could ISIL Be Strengthened by U.S., French, Russian Bombing?
