OBAMA BOOBY TRAPS TRUMP WH

OBAMA LEAVES COW FLOP AND TRIP WIRES AROUND WHITE HOUSE

COMMENT ON AUSTRALIA AND YEMEN FIASCOS

Mr. Obama, like the Democrats in general, is loath to accept the will of the people. They voted him and his surrogate out of power. But, it seems he readily ignores the inner dictates of the "constitutional scholar" he claims to be. For he has not be able to accept the dictates of the Constitution to go quietly from power. He hypocritically denies the PEOPLE their right to choose their leaders and his actions harm the nation's overall welfare. Apparently, rather than try to facilitate our vaunted "peaceful turn over of power" from one administration to another...as willed by the people...Mr. Obama has attempted to leave patches of cow flop and trip wires for the new president to step in or stumble over. These tricks hurt the nation as a whole, and shine an unfavorable light on Mr. Obama's character.

Some recent examples of Obama booby traps: The Australian refugee deal...in which Mr. Kerry and Mr. Obama upon realization of their loss soon after the shocking November 8th election and in collusion with the Australian PM, arranged for a purposely distasteful deal to box Mr. Trump in to an agreement he would have to accept. It involved over one-thousand refugees from various places in the Middle East, who had sought refuge in Australia, but were deemed unacceptable by the Aussie government. These unfortunates were consigned to inhumane detention on an offshore islands prison facility--reminiscent of the French penal colony on "Devils Island". The deal would foist these unvetted and now unhappy and hardened individuals onto US shores. Mr. Trump made his displeasure known in a call to the Austrailian PM. The press castigated Mr. Trump for being "undiplomatic". Just as Obama planned.

The second pile of cow flop Mr. Obama left outside the Oval Office for Mr. Trump to step into was a poorly planned Navy Seal attack on an isolated mountain village in Yemen. I posted a recent blog warning Mr. Trump (see above February 2, 2017) that the recent US Navy Seal attack on a Yemeni mountain village was not a "good deal". Most of Trump's supporters hoped that Obama's unending wars would wither away under a more pragmatic, "America first" Trump Administration. I was saddened to see our novice President hoodwinked by the military into a "dumb", very costly, bloody, and in the and-useless attack. After the fiasco in Yemen, the military establishment quickly tended to lay the blame for the failure and loss of life on our still wet-behind-the-ears President, apparently setting the stage for others to characterize him as "careless and reckless". The whole operation smells like a sinister plot. Was it another Obama tripwire set up to blow up in our blustering, brash President's face? That swamp in Washington, is inhabited with perilous poison sumac, sticky quicksand, jaw snapping 'gators, and five-meter-long Burmese pythons. Mr. Trump you better watch your step!

The Yemen war is another booby trap wire snaking across the red and gold tufted carpet in the Oval Office. Mr.Trump must be aware that the UN is investigating the Saudi Arabian bombing campaign in Yemen against the Houthis as a case of WAR CRIMES. The humanitarian tragedy of the Houthis, a Shia sect which has aroused the ire of a wealthy and powerful neighboring Sunni state--Saudi Arabia. The Houthi uprising overthrew an existing pro-Saudi Yemeni government and occupied the capital city of Sanaa. This is an ugly, bloody, religious cilvil war. But Mr. Obama somehow foolishly inserted himself, our government and military planners, and our military forces into the confused battle on the side of the powerful oil-monarch of Saudi Arabians. Mr. Obama, has supplied the SA monarchy with our most advanced fighter jets, smart bombs, cluster bombs, ground intelligence, information on bombing targets and logistics to use against the Houthi minority in western Yemen. The Saudis have mercilessly bombed Houthi schools, hospitals, graveyards, electrical installations and even essential port facilities. They have killed over ten thousand civilians according to recent UN statistics More than two million children are claimed to suffer from malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands have been forced to leave their homes to become internal refugees. Ex President Obama claims to have encouraged his unruly and heartless Sunni ally to restrict bombing to military targets. But there are no Houthi military installations in this impoverished desolate land. So the Saudis simply continue bombing civilians with their US supplied munitions

The UN has taken notice of the attacks on civilian targets and threatened to take up the case of Saudi war crimes in Yemen. Their continued and persistent attacks on these targets makes that case very likely to succeed. The fact that the USA supplies Saudi Arabia with all of its armaments, cluster bombs, military intelligence, and even more egregiously actually refuels Saudi fighter-bomber planes in the air over Yemen (using USA Air Force KC 135 Boeing Strato-tanker aircraft) so that the Saudi pilots could hit more civilian targets more frequently on each run. The facts clearly implicate the USA in any war crimes charges that the Saudis may face.

One must mention this glaring Obama hypocrisy here. It does not go unnoticed that Obama's government, the Democrats and the GOP were all free and loose with their repeated (and partly justified) attacks on Russia bombing of alleged civilian targets over Syria, while Obama's government was supplying the bombs, logistics, and refueled Saudi jets over Yemen to bomb Yemeni civilians----killing them just as effectively as were the Russians killing Syrians.

Ugly!

Mr. Trump should tread carefully as he treads around in Washington. Each mucky step in the DC swamp can turn up a slimy, slithering snake. My advise: Stay out of Yemen. Call those refueling planes back. Stop selling the Saudis cluster bombs. And the next time some guy with scarambled-eggs his cap-brim try's to sell you a "sure thing--slam dunk" military operation in some far away place make sure it does not have a trip wire attached to it.

There may be those in the military who are secretly laying a trap for our new President. Washington is a dangerous place. Especially get out of Yemen. No good cam come to you there. Your enemies know that being a convicted war criminal would be a hard epithet to laugh off.
