Obama Talks Syria War and Climate Change Executive Order, Reid Wants Web Sales Tax, D’Souza Spared Prison Time: P.M. Links

President Barack Obama today
said that his Syrian war “is not America’s fight alone.”
Besides bombing ISIS, we also attacked an Al Qaeda affiliated
called the “Khorasan Group,” which the Pentagon says
poses a
bigger threat. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) blames his
fellow congress critters for being passively allowing a new
“Cheney
pre-emptive war doctrine,” because, obviously, the president
can’t be expected to demonstrate any self-restraint, and Kaine
can’t be expected to call it the “Obama pre-emptive war
doctrine.”
Speaking of Big O’s lack of self-restraint, he’s got a
new executive order on climate change.
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says an
Internet sales tax law “is long, long overdue.” Apparently not
that long, because he’s waiting until after the midterm
elections to try cramming this bad idea down America’s throat.
Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, who was found guilty of
campaign finance fraud,
will be spared from having to serve prison time. Before you
applaud the former Reagan advisor, do you think you’d get the same
treatment in court?
Since some guy managed to get over the first one, there’s
a new
fence around the White House. Insert your own border joke
here.
Nearly forty years later, the U.S. is preparing to
end its arms embargo on Vietnam. If only we could celebrate
with Cuban cigars.
The Ebola outbreak in Africa looks to be “far
worse than the authorities acknowledge,” and the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention estimates that in 4 months there
could be
1.4 million infected. The Food and Drug Administration just
OK’d an
experimental drug to fight the virus.
