American Media Are A Foreign Policy Strategy!

Some in the American media make up such a goop soup of pseudo-intellectual glop, that POTUS
easily allows them to BE an intricate juxtaposition of fact-like foreign policy stratagem and solidification.
As far as the American media is concerned, if they have something they can use to criticize the
President, they have the news of the day both here and abroad.
They are so craven they are inventing their own sound-bites!
"No strategy...no strategy...deliberative...deliberative...his own red line...not good at....blah, blah, and
more blah.
So what has POTUS done?
He has challenged them to continually invent the news themselves; and they are biting.
They believe their interminable analysis of what's wrong with American foreign policy serves as
stimulative substitution for the possibilities of what American treatment of world problems actually
does.
They are so wrong about believing all the nonsense which comes out of their own mouths.
Reporters and journalists will never, ever make foreign policy. The ability to do that has long since
become too involved to do effectively unless you are engaging directly with policy makers while
agreements and suggestions are being discussed and implemented.
How in the world would any meeting ever be secure if that could happen- even in America?
I have become almost unsolvably bored by everything I hear these days.
Why do we keep talking about bombing Syria? Why didn't we do it sooner?
Do the media think if they keep all that up they convince us they were the ones with the correct
policy solutions all along?
That is nonsense.
We know from them that nearly every group fighting Assad in Syria has a jihadist bent.  The problem even now, is that those groups are using right now, and trading with each other, and stealing from each other, all the ammunition, missiles, tanks, and arms made in America.
Why would the President send more arms, missiles, men, intelligence to Syria?
What the President would do, is say there is no policy, certainly not one invented in the media, so
he can confound all at home and abroad who think he waits to hear from them before he does have a
strategy he is going to make public.
That, as a matter of fact, is what he has done.
And it boggles me he has actually got the media chasing its own tail on this ad nauseum for days!
Why can't we discuss more fully the Russia-Syria connection, and how it could be impacted by
further sanctions arising out of the Ukraine conflict?
Why can't we hear the possibilities of a sinking ISIL if their funds begin to dry up soon?
Could we speak a bit more about how the Pesh Merga are doing with U.S. help? They are a group
who don't have a tendency to let their resources get into the wrong hands.
Has Arogan begun to do more to seal the Turkey/Syria border?
Are Syrian refugees straining the Egyptian economy the way Iraqi refugees did when we attacked
the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction?
What is Jordan prepared to do to keep out of the fray?
Does ISIL think the President is dumb enough to give them money and more American bodies to
capture?
Is money we send overseas inadvertently getting to ISIL through some in the Iraqi government?
American media operate on equal value of all questions premises.
Our media reports an O'Rourke fantasy: Give War A Chance.
If not war, give a chance to whatever principles we surmise are a wonderful get.
They believe abroad there is such thing as right and wrong, as barbaric or human; but in America
there are two sides to every story no matter how awful or how banal one side might be.
At times, the senseless and cold blooded is senseless and cold blooded- here or abroad.
At times, the need to keep security and a master plan close has to be the imperative to keep
security and a master plan close.
Reporting our realities in thoughtful discussion is actually entirely possible.
What is up with the newsrooms today?!
