"No ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iā mākou ke lawe aku i kēia mau ʻōpala?" Ua nīnau ʻo Jim Acosta o CNN iā Pelekikena Obama ma kahi hālāwai kūkā ma ka Pōʻakahi.

Ua ʻoi aku paha ka ʻino o ka ʻōlelo a Acosta ma mua o ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia e kekahi, akā e kamaʻilio ana ʻo ia no kahi hui paʻi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia kona makewai no ka hakakā apocalyptic me ISIS e nā hoʻouka kaua o ka Pōʻalima i hala.

Mai kēlā lā weliweli, ua hoʻihoʻi ka hapa nui o ka media hoʻokumu i kona kūlana paʻa i ka wā e pili ana i nā kulekele ʻē aʻe: ʻoi aku ka hawkish, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

ʻO nā hōʻikeʻike Sabati i hoʻomaluʻia e ia mau'ōlelo. Ua huli ke komisina NYPD ʻo Bill Bratton ma nā CBS a me ABC's Sundayshows, me ka ʻōlelo ʻeleʻele inā ʻaʻole hiki i nā keʻena kiu ke nānā i nā kamaʻilio kelepona, hiki iā ISIS ke hoʻouka maʻalahi iā New York. ʻO ka mea kānalua, ua hālāwaiʻo ia me ka kānalua iki. Ua mālama ʻia ka poʻe ʻike ABC i ka ʻike ʻana iā Bill Kristol, he poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hōʻeuʻeu i kāna hale kūʻai kūloko inā loaʻa iā ia kahi pilikia me ia, e kāhea ana i nā pūʻali ʻAmelika he 50,000 e kaua aku iā ISIS.

Ma ke kakahiaka Poakahi, ua hookipaia ka poe kakau inoa i ka Puke Puke Puke ko Politico me ka olelo a Mike Allen, o ka mea maikai loa e hoolohe ai e pili ana ia Paris, oia ka hope luna nui o CIA Mike Morell, i keia manawa ma ka CBS payroll. Inā lākou i hoʻohuli i ka hōʻike punahele a Allen, ʻo MSNBC's "Morning Joe," hiki iā lākou ke ʻike iā Joe Scarborough e nīnau iā James Stavridis, ka Luna Hoʻokele Kiʻekiʻe o NATO, inā e hele ʻo NATO i ke kaua me ISIS. Kahaha! Ua manaʻo ʻo Stavridis he manaʻo maikaʻi loa ia.

ʻAʻole ia wale nō ka media ʻAmelika. Ua mālama ʻia nā mea nānā Pelekania e nānā ana iā Sky News i ka lā Lāpule i kekahi o nā nīnauele hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻoi loa e loaʻa iā ʻoe ma nā wahi āpau, ʻoiai ʻo ka heleuma ʻo Dermot Murnaghan i koi aku ai iā Diane Abbott, he lālā ʻēheu hema o ka ʻaoʻao kūʻē ʻo Labour, e kākau inoa i ka pana ʻana o nā Pelekane ma. Suria. "ʻOiai he hōʻailona wale nō, no ke aha e hui ʻole ai?" ua nīnau ʻo ia - kahi ala maʻamau e kūkākūkā ai i ka hana kaua make - me ka hoʻohui ʻana ma hope o kēlā me kēia hoʻolālā e hakakā me ISIS pono e komo i ka "hoʻāʻo e pepehi i ka nui o lākou e like me kou hiki."

E hoʻolohe i ka ʻōlelo e hoʻohana ʻia nei. "Pepehi i ka nui o lākou e like me kou hiki." "E lawe aku i kēia mau ʻōpio." ʻO kēia ka ʻōlelo hyper-macho o kekahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni hana ʻelua-bit, ʻaʻole kahi hoʻolālā kulekele haole. He hōʻike nō hoʻi ia o ke ala e hiki ai i kahi paʻi "pahu" ke hoʻoikaika i kahi hiʻohiʻona liʻiliʻi loa o ka honua ma o kona ʻano manaʻo ponoʻī.

Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ma mua, akā pono e ʻōlelo hou: he aha ka manaʻo o kēia poʻe i kēia manawa a pau? ʻOiai ka moʻolelo o kēia manawa e pena ana iā Obama ma ke ʻano he hippie pacifist, ke alakaʻi nei ʻo ʻAmelika i nā hana kaua ma Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia a me ke akua ʻike i kahi ʻē aʻe. Aia mākou ma Afghanistan no 14 mau makahiki. Aia mākou ma Iraq no 12 mau makahiki. He aha ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou? No kekahi, ua loaʻa iā mākou ISIS. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa i ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua pili pololei ka piʻi ʻana o ISIS i ka destabilization alakaʻi ʻia e ʻAmelika o ka Middle East. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i kekahi mau makahiki i hala. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nui nei ʻo Jim Acosta e ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea like?

I kēia manawa ʻikeʻia ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i komo i loko o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana iā Paris he poʻe ʻEulopa, ʻo ka poʻe nona ka waiwai a me ka palekana o ka honua i hoʻopiha ʻia e nā mana noʻonoʻo a me nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo i ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī ma mua o ka ikaika o kekahi mea kaua. Ke manaʻo nei anei ʻo Bill Kristol e hoʻopau mākou iā Belgium i ka wā Pōhaku?
