Today's Mozen: Normandy?????

John Belushi as "Bluto"

"Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? John "Bluto" Blutarsky, Animal House.

Only one other man has risen to this level of complete idiocy in my lifetime: Donald J. Trump. The difference is that Bluto was a fictional character played by John Belushi in an outrageous comedy. The other happens to be The President of the United States.

In defending his decision to abandon our allies in Syria, the Kurds, he said this to reporters on October 9:

“They didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy, for example.”

One not need be a historian or even a student of history to know what an inane statement that is. Part of the complex issues involving the Kurds is that they lack a homeland to call their own - one of the things they are fighting for. And, never have. So, please explain to me how a people, desperate to claim their own place in the world, were in a position to help us at Normandy????

The only thing more outrageous than the inaccuracy of the statement is the cruelty it will inflict on a loyal ally. 

No other comment is necessary.
