AMERICAN HIKERS SENTENCED TO PRISON IN IRAN

,WE HERE AT THE ALEXANDRIA DAILY POOP HAVE LONG FEARED THE WORST FOR THE AMERICANS IMPRISONED IN IRAN FOR ALLEGEDLY CROSSING THE BORDER INTO THAT BENIGHTED NATION FROM WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE IRAQI KURDISTAN. LAST MONTH, HOPE WAS HELD OUT THAT THEY WOULD BE FREED AS AN ACT OF MERCY DURING THE ISLAMIC "HOLY MONTH" OF RAMADAN. HO, ho ho.

The folks in charge of Iran right now are religious nutballs who are quite as virulent - if not more so than - the "God hates Fags" assholes of our own Westboro Baptist "Church". But unlike the WBC, the Iranian mullahs are in complete control of that country. WBC leader Fred Phelps would approve of every aspect of what they do over there except for the fact that they don't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior (but then, Fred doesn't accept Him as such, either. To the Phelps clan, Jesus is a hater out to destroy everything they hate, and everything they hate has its origins in homosexuality; which the Iranian clergy also hates [although we suspect that in the case of the mullahs, it is because they don't want competition for the favors of pubescent boys. But we digress...])

From what we here at the ADP know, these hikers were a bunch of open-borders, peace-and-love, rainbow-and-unicorn shitheads who thought they could go hiking in the disputed border region between Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran and not run into any trouble as long as they obeyed their GPS devices. Idiots.

As far as GPS devices go, there are people who have taken right turns into ravines because their GPS device told them to turn right. These idiots were in a border region subject to Kurdish patrols and Iranian interlopers. To hell with the GPS, if I were stupid enough to go out for a lark in one of the most dangerous regions on the planet, I'd damn well stay well south of Kirkuk.

I bet every last one of these lame-brains voted for "president" Obama. I hope they know that he isn't in any position to save them, and he wouldn't try to if he could. The mullahs know Obama is weak and ineffectual. Ronald Reagan and even either of the Bushes would have them out of there tout le suite. Just having a couple of F-14s breaking the sound barrier 500 feet over Tehran would probably do the trick; but our one-ball "president" doesn't have the gumption for it.

However much I may deride these hikers for their callowness and cluelessness; and however much I may disdain their toddler-like worldview; they are AMERICAN CITIZENS. And that and only that is why they are now facing years in an Iranian hell-hole prison. ( IF these fools survive their incarceration, I want them put on an American prison review board. I wonder what they would say to an inmate who complained to them that the jail didn't put enough mayo on his turkey sandwich after they had spent a few years sipping chicken-butt tea with stale rice.)

The plight of these hikers illustrates vividly why we here in the USA tolerate Israel having nuclear weapons and will do just about anything to deny them to Iran. These mullahs are insane. Although their every official act, be it the slaughter of a sheep or the beheading of a criminal, begins with the intonement: "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate"; they themselves are completely lacking in either.

Don't just take our word for it, though. Ask those poor idiots, IF they live through their imprisonment and return home. Ask them if what they experienced was "mercy" and "compassion" from the sociopathic vermin who today sentenced them to hell on earth.

(We bet these fools find a way to say yes and blame their suffering on George Bush.)

OBAMA PICKS UP THE GAUNTLET

WE AT THE ALEXANDRIA DAILY POOP ARE DEFINITELY NOT AMONG THE ADMIRERS OF "PRESIDENT" BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. However, credit where it is due is imperative; and Obama's calling out of Iran - and importantly his statement that military action is "not off the table" shows that he at least realizes what very hot water looks like.

We are not at all convinced that Obama's concerns are for the United States, however. Obama is as much concerned about his image in Europe - and perhaps a bit more - than he is about his image in these United States. And Europe is terrified at the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, and well they should be. It is much easier to hit Paris or Berlin from Iran with a missile than it is the United States. Whatever his motivation, however, Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad has thrown down a gauntlet at "President" Obama's feet. And though we view him with - to put it mildly - skepticism - we are pleased that he has responded forcefully enough to state that military action is one of the tools in his kit.

We cannot help but wonder but what being exposed to what being the President of the United States really means might just make this boy wonder into a man. A nuclear-armed Iran might just decide to give nuclear devices to Al-Qaeda, And Al-Qaeda just might decide to explode one in Obama's beloved Chicago. Or, they might decide to blow up Podunk, Idaho. Either way he would be damaged beyond repair, and for that matter so would the DemonRat Party.
But to threaten, however mildly, the possibility of military action by the Commander in Chief of the world's most superior armed force is a profound thing. Consider what Obama said and consider the consequenses of anti-Iranian military action. The possible closing of the Straits of Hormuz, through which so much of the globe's energy passes. Something even nastier than World War Three could result. And into this we elected a jejune moron because people were getting laid off work??

Well he had damned well better wise up fast. We find it admitable that Obama has picked up the gauntlet thrown at his feet. What he does next will affect us all. We may all regret his ascention to the White House. But there is a possibility that in this caase he will do the right thing. We hope so. But we remain extremely skeptical.

THIS PRESIDENT IS A DISASTER

     WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT Barack Hussein Obama got the votes from the workers in the industrial sections of the Midwest by telling them their straits were all the fault of George Bush and the Republicans, and that electing them would have them back farting through silk.   We found it hard to believe that the people of Indiana and Ohio, where we were raised, would fall for it.  We were wrong, as a drowning man will grasp at straws.  

     NOW these poor saps are finding out who and what they voted for, and it isn't what they thought.   No, far from everybody getting back to work, Obama's bungling of the GM/Chrysler bailout scheme had him telling them over the weekend that things were as a result going to be worse, that factories and dealerships were going to be closing and that suppliers would shutter their shops.  But the good news was that they had been called upon to make a noble sacrifice for their country and children by going jobless.   We know the people from which we sprang, and we know for a certainty that these folks are now aware that they are being - we try to avoid obscenity here but only one thing fits - they are being screwed in the ass by Obama.

     WE have heard and read the words pf parvenue Obama apologists who say Obama's actions were necessary to avoid even more people being thrown out of work.   That statement if made in an Ohio cornfield would fertilize it for the next thousand years.  The fact is that if NOTHING had been done by the Federal Government,  these two companies would have gone into Chapter 11 ANYWAY,  and most likely with less pain than now.   Obama's motive was to keep the Union bosses - NOT the workers but the leadership of the IAW - eating regular meals.    To pretend he is helping the workers by hanging them out to dry is disingenuous to say the least.  This takes an horrific amount of chutzpaugh.  It is also illegal.

     NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION AUTHORIZES ANY OF THIS.  President Obama is violating the very law he swore to uphold.  He should be impeached, tried, convicted and removed from office forthwith.

     THIS President is a danger to our Nation not only on an economic venue (remember those kids he said the workers were sacrificing for?  Well; ONE, how are they going to get fed if Dad is jobless? and TWO,  HE HAS ALREADY PUT THEM HOPLESSLY IN DEBT FOR THE REST OF THEIR ADULT LIVES. )  Obama is also a threat to our very existence.  He has this day stated that the United States should UNILATERALLY DISARM to "set the example" after which the rest of the world will follow.  In the same speech he said that Iran had A RIGHT TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!   At a minimum he is all but offering to serve up Israel on a platter to her enemies,  if not also this very Nation to ours.

     WE ARE OBLIGED to extend our sympathies to the good people from which we at the Alexandria Daily Poop were raised.  We do mot blame them for being fooled by this wolf in sheep's clothing.  But we urge them to get angry, very angry indeed; at a so-called President who dines on $100-per-pound imported Kobe beef (when he is not going on a visit to a burger joint which involoves spending $75 grand on a motorcade) , having a special chef flown in from Chicago to make him a pizza, and taking the Missus on a trip that cost well over a quarter BILLION dollars for a dinner and theater date; while they scrounge barren food banks and scramble to keep the very roof over their heads; and then tells THEM  to 'sacrifice" while he leads the high old life.  Even Jimmy Carter had the decency to at least put on a show of shaaring in our privations.   Obama is beginning to act as though he thinks himself our King.  He would do well to remember what we did with the last one we had.

     IMPEACH OBAMA NOW.
