HOWARD ELSTON, our international editor, interviews President Barack Obama about Britain’s decision not to bomb Syria:
Howard Elston: Mr President, your closest ally, the UK, has said it won’t help attack Damascus. Your reaction?
Barack Obama (President): They have crossed the red line. I am ending our special relationship
HE: And what special relationship is that?
BO (President): We tell the Brits what to do and use their swampy country for an offshore aircraft carrier.
HE: And in return…?
BO (President) : They gave us the Beatles and James Bond and Michael Douglas’s wife.
HE: Will you go ahead with the Syria bombing?
BO (President): Now that the Brits are cheese eating surrender monkeys, we will bomb Damascus alone to stop the Assad monster and help our allies
HE: And who are our allies?
BO (President): An assortment of Al Queda and Taliban militants who wish to give Syria a liberal democratic nation
HE: And if the bombing doesn’t stop the nerve gas attacks?
BO (President): We haven’t thought about it yet. It’s our national heritage not to worry about the next step. Look at the success in Iraq and Afghanistan
HE: Mr President, thank you
BO(President): Sir Howard, it has been a pleasure.
What we are really doing is even worse: supporting an oil-greedy nation that sees cheap highway travel as its God-given right, but has never had the guts or public-spirited instinct to tell the oil business to butt out so a post-oil means of locomotion might be developed.
We are backing up a rotten Republic driven by the mania of a tiny minority for money and power….and the ‘we’ representing us in this anti-Crusade come from a tiny, puffed-up class that rips us off, embezzles from us, steals our savings from us, lies to us, and uses our money to save financial maniacs who should be imprisoned for life in search of a quite different form of salvation.

And once again, Howard brings us great insight into the workings of great minds..
