Yes I know I have been a bitch when it comes to criticizing the US and its extremely myopic foreign policy….but after reading the line that the State Department is issued I could not stop the laughter…..and it went on and on…..

What I found so humorous was…….

State Department spokesman John Kirby is bragging up the US State Department’s sordid achievements of 2015, even things that they demonstrably never did. Key among those was the declaration from Kirby that the US brought “peace and security to Syria.”

Kirby went on to brag of the US…… “stepping up to aid the Syrian people during their time of need,” and taking credit for peace talks nominally set for next month, and which at this point don’t really have a set list of involved parties.

At this point I have to ask…..are they watching the same situation in Syria that I am?  Apparently there is more than one Syria….one that I know nothing about….how about you?

These words came as the State Department synopsis of the past year……written on their blog……

Everyone’s entitled to a bit of boasting now and again, but a year-in-review State Department blog post appears to have veered into overstatement territory on Syria, Politico reports. Authored by spokesman John Kirby, the DipNote post, entitled “Pivotal Foreign Policy Moments of 2015,” combines the recently trending hashtag #2015In5Words with what Kirby believes were the department’s greatest achievements this year. In it, Kirby takes a “look at how the United States has helped change the world for the better.” Included are five-word commendations such as “Diplomatic Relations Re-established With Cuba” and “Protecting Arctic Climate and Communities.” Other listings use more declarative, debate-provoking language: “Strongest Climate Agreement Ever Negotiated,” “Iran Peaceful Nuclear Program Ensured,” and “Winning Fight Against Violent Extremists.”

But it’s Kirby’s fist-bumps regarding Syria when eyebrows really start to rise. “Bringing Peace, Security to Syria” is perhaps the most surprising “significant success” he touts, proclaiming that “the Syrian people have borne a heavy load,” but the US, under John Kerry’s stewardship, “has led the world in humanitarian aid contributions since the crisis began in 2011.” The back pat continues with praise for a UN Security Council resolution that “puts forward a roadmap that will facilitate a transition within Syria to a credible, inclusive, nonsectarian government … responsive to the needs of the Syrian people.” All of which may sound overly optimistic considering, as Politico notes, Syria “remains embroiled in a nasty civil war and terrorized by the Islamic State.” Or as David Francis at Foreign Policy puts it: “The five words State used to describe the past year seem at the very least inappropriate and at the worst delusional.”

Is it possible that now everyone can see why I question our foreign policy?

We could always blame it all on Obama…..that is the easy part…..why not question the actions of the Congress as well….they are suppose to be the watch dog in all this and they are failing in their role….personally, Congress is a waste to money and time….they do nothing but chase cash for themselves….this country means nothing to them beyond their petty little lives…..
