Oh, I see, Freeze. China, Iran and North Korea are watching our media to base their plan against us. I guess they only watch the "bad" media, and not the highly-rated media like Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and the like. The leftist media has worse ratings, and yet our real enemies only base their intelligence on leftist wackos and say that is the real pulse of the US. How convenient is that BS logic?
I would say that China is a bit more upscale in intelligence than that. They seem to understand that allowing us to chase all over the world, while supporting those countries that are keeping us busy militarily and financially, is probably a good plan. They understand that they can't allow their people to have a difference of opinion from the dictatorial government view, like we have here, or their plan will not work. They understand that loaning us money and assisting the devaluation of the dollar - while at the same time watching us litterally flush those devalued dollars down a cesspool in Iraq is a good way to move forward in worldwide stature. They understand that our military is stretched out worldwide, our soldiers are tired and frustrated, our people are not being asked to sacrifice - they are actually receiving extra cash (well, the really wealthy ones and the oil company one are, anyway) from the administration in tax breaks while the country is at war for the first time in history.
As for North Korea and Iran, they are smart enough to know how distracted our country is right now, and it's time for them to try their own power plays. They are smart enough to realize how stupid (my opinion) we are for doing what we're doing in Iraq and that evidently we are going to keep doing it. Iran is smart enough to be funding conflicts against us and our ally in Israel to keep us off balance. They are smart enough to be sending insurgents, terrorists, and anyone with a gun or bomb-making ingredients in to Iraq to kill our soldiers.
These countries are too busy studying the obvious idiocy of this administration to watch the news, I offer. We are so busy mired in so many things all at once that they can do pretty much whatever they want. In short, they really don't have to "Knock that sh*t off," as our leader seems to think.
When in doubt, blame the media. But only a few parts of it that fit your BS commentary. Of course the media is one of those nebulous, no referencing terms that cover up the real problems we face. Which are completely being caused by this administration - for reasons I don't think any of us can truly understand.
