Instant Karma

In the past, blowback took years to develop. This meant that the president who took the actions did not have to face the consequences. For example, President Eisenhower used the CIA to covertly overthrow popular Iranian elected leader Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953, yet Jimmy Carter was in office when blowback occurred in the form of the taking of American hostages following the overthrow of the Shah in Iran’s Islamic Revolution. Things have sped up today. President Obama began his unconstitutional “kinetic military action” in Libya on March 19, 2011. On September 11, 2012, four Americans lost their lives in the attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.

Knowing how quickly blowback can now occur, one wonders why President Obama would even consider recognizing the rebels in the Syrian Civil War. It becomes even more puzzling when one realizes that the Syrian rebel alliance has pledged allegiance to al Qaeda. If President Obama unconstitutionally takes military action against the Asaad regime in Syria, catastrophes like Benghazi are inevitable.
