LUNCH WITH THE FT - BARACK OBAMA

Obama

I've been wanting to interview the American president, to ask him about Syria and chemical weapons.

Barack Obama agrees to meet me for lunch at Ben's Chili Bowl.

We both order the specialty Chili Half Smoke and some cheese fries.

As we wait for our order to arrive, I put it to President Obama that President Assad of Syria is most unlikely to have used chemical weapons, because Assad would not want to risk 'crossing the red line'.

Obama smiles and then reminds me that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was about to wipe out London.

"We need to provide direct military aid to the Syrian rebels," says Obama.

"The rebels have massacred Christians and executed small children," I point out.

"That's nothing," says Obama, "During the Korean war, we helped to wipe out 30 % of the population of North Korea. 

"And around the time I was a child in Indonesia, the USA helped to murder up to one million Indonesian civilians. 

"Sometimes it's a case of kill the red Indians!"

Our 'quarter pound half pork and beef smoked sausages on steamed buns' arrive.

They are served with mustard, onions, and chili sauce.

"How reliable is the intelligence on the chemical weapons?" I ask.

"Just as reliable as the evidence that Egypt attacked the USS Liberty," says Obama with a wink.



I ask the president if he can afford a big American intervention in Syria, when so many of the USA's military assets are in the Pacific ocean and South China Sea, and when there is a danger of intervention by Russia?

"Well, they said we couldn't afford to bomb the shit out of Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Lebanon, Libya, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan."

As we finish off our smoked sausages, I notice that the president appears different from the man whom I have seen so often on TV.

I think I have been talking to an Obama look alike.

The world is full of imposters.
