They Haven’t A Clue

Once again, the American people are being inundated with 24/7 coverage of a possible attack as a reaction to an event of unknown origin. The endless debate about whether the President can or should act without Congressional approval are mindless and pointless.

The entire problem is that the people have zero faith in the information they are receiving. They have serious doubts about the motivation of most of the decision makers. And, they have no confidence in the executive branch. Diane Feinstein said that the American people "don't know what I know". In the America of a few years ago, we, the people, would have confidence that their elected officials would act in our best interest. We do not have that confidence in 2013. For that, they can blame themselves for not getting to the root of, and reporting to the people about; Fast and Furious, Benghazi, data mining, IRS targeting, and the seizing of the records of journalists, to name a few. Most Americans abhor the pictures reportedly coming out of Syria. Most Americans would stand with the United Nations in responding to the atrocities. Most Americans detest wanton murder. But, most Americans also oppose involvement of our troops without a clear reason, a solid plan and domestic support. It is clear that our government hasn't a clue about what matters to the people.
