Does everybody realize President Obama must be reading KC Confidential?
I bet even Hearne didn’t realized how many powerful people visit this site.
Below are excerpts from some of my previous postings which the President in his speech about ISIS said he would be enacting. Don’t interpret this post as bragging, we’re all just having fun:
Calvin Sense: “Let’s Bomb Everything & Let God Sort it Out”
Some readers took my phrase “Bomb everything” as meaning indiscriminate bombing. However, that’s not what I meant, I meant bombing just the military part of ISIS.
Then I added:
“As I’ve written before, the US should stay out of any conflict in this area and only help the countries there who are friends of America through military aid.”
In other words follow the Arabic saying, “My friend’s enemy is my enemy, and my enemy’s enemy is my friend.”
Hopefully through our system of spy satellites, drones – and I hope spies on the ground – the terrorist training camps and activities can be monitored and destroyed once and for all. ”
Last night in the President’s ISIS speech he mentioned several allies who will be helping in the fight against ISIS, just as I’d suggested. However, in the end once ISIS is destroyed, the people who are in ISIS now will simply move up and take charge of things or form a new organization with the same philosophy but a different name.
As we speak, there’s a teenager in the Middle East being groomed to continue the ISIS philosophy until he dies.
Unfortunately on this third rock from the sun, certain life philosophies are so diametrically opposite that there just isn’t any middle ground. And that’s the situation in the Middle East today.
ISIS’s principles and values are completely incompatible with America’s, just as in Star Trek The Federation (us) will always be fighting the Klingons (ISIS).
History is filled with examples of this: Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan vs The Allies; Stalin’s Communist Russia vs Capitalism; The Spanish Conquistadors and their colonization of South American Indians; the North vs South on the issue of slavery; The Vikings vs The Feudal Kings of Europe; Attila the Hun vs The Roman Empire and Ghengas Khan vs The Feudal System in Japan.
And as we Homosapiens move beyond this planet Earth and find other forms of life in the universe I guarantee there will be similar situations regarding philosophies on what the best existence of life is.
That’s just Common Sense (Calvin Sense).

“Life is a search after power; and this is an element with which the world is so saturated, — there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged, — that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.” —- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your Arabic saying is less than accurate. Ho Chi Minh and Osama bin Laden were enemies of our enemy at earlier points in history.
I at first thought you were a total wash as a writer. Now you prove me wrong by being adept at satire; well done.
