With this morning’s attacks in Brussels, Obama was quick off the mark in condemning these cowardly acts:
“We will do whatever is necessary to support our friends in Belgium," he said.
“We stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people… And more,
“This is yet another reminder that the world must unite, we must be together.”
All this was said by Obama on the third day of his visit to Cuba which began with the Cuban Castro Brotherhood Dictatorship clearing Havana streets of debris – that is to say, the mothers, wives and girl friends of political prisoners who have lingered for years in Cuban jails.
But I digress.
Back to the issue at hand…today’s carnage in Belgium.
Let’s tune back to the President’s press conference which is just ending and to our correspondent on the scene .. Les Nessman-
Les – over to you, anything that particularly surprised you by today’s comments by Obama?
Yes Galagher there was one thing – when the President promised to stand in solidarity with our friends in Belgium a member of the audience yelled out – just like you did for the innocents in Iraq, Iran and Syria, Mr. President?’
And why did that surprise you Les?
Well Galagher, you just don’t hear that sort of criticism here in Cuba… at least against their President.
Well that may be true Les – but overall, what does Obama’s comments tell us about the perpetrators of today’s events?
In fact Galagher, we now know quite a bit – we know for instance that these were “outrageous attacks” and not only that – they occurred against “innocent people”.
Could you be more specific Les? For instance, from His Statement, who do you think might have been responsible for these evil deeds?
Well that’s the problem Galagher – the President did not say – in fact, he never does say in such circumstances, so we are left to speculate.
My money is on a rogue group of madmen, gone off their meds.
But Galagher that does not mean it could not have been a disgruntled element of the local Red Cross or even an outcast troop of disaffected Boy Scouts.
The list is just too long to name all of the possible subjects.
Good Job Les – Keep up the Good Work.
As I see it…
‘K.D. Galagher’
*KING HENRY V:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
