The Talking Head

Obama and Libya

Koch calls Obama inebt

Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch (d) called the big "O" inept today in a Fox News interview.  Kotch cited the enormous cost and limited supply of troops for engagements.  Koch stated that all but 12 of the missiles fired were American even though the operation was claimed to be multinational.  Koch also cited Obamas inability to lead.  Mayor Koch stated that resources should be reserved for imminent threats of wich there was none.

Is obama creating a furure iminent threat?

Obama, another Chamberlain ?

What exactly is it that the fundamentalists want?  The answer to that question is simple.  The restoration of the Ottoman empire de-facto.  Its stated in the Hamas charter.  Its stated by Ahmadinejad.  They desire an end to Arab Nationalism as imposed by Balfor on the reigon  after World War 1.  This desire is the root of all troubles in the Middle East today.

In 1938 another nation was unhappy with their  position after WW1.   Germany was forced to pay massive reporations as a result of the Versailles Treaty.  As Nazi Germany, they lashed out and invaded Austria.  Austria asked for help and none was forth comming. There were more annexations as the appetite became more apparent.  British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain practiced a policey of appeasement with Hitlers Nazi Germany with disastarous results.

Today many wonder what Barak Obama is up to.  Is he thinking that turning the old Ottoman Empire to the fundamentalists will make them friends?  Is he not aware that the idiology demands a world wide caliphate and thus no appeasement will satisfy their appetite?

Does the Big "O" think this will get him  "PEACE IN OUR TIME" ?

Rep Weiner flip flops stance on our wars

Anthony Weiner (d) NY has changed his tune on involvement in war.  Weiner has previously spoken staunchly against the Iraq and Afghanistan involvements during the Bush administration yet he seems to have changed his mind and now supports our wars.

Far be it for me to say hes both for and against the wars, as that would make him much the hypocrite, would it not?  The only conclusion I can come to over Weiners statement's as of late, is that he now has changed his tune.  I guess we will be seeing an apology to George Bush shortly.

Weiner compared Libya to the Rawanda genocide although far fewer people have died in Libya.  Of course Weiner forgets that Libya was egged on by Mr. Obama unlike the gassing of the Kurds which Saddam Hussein managed to do without a massive rebellion egged on by a US leader being the catilist.

This certainly cannot be hypocracey by Mr. Weirner.

Obamas Justification Speech on Libya

 

"after bi-partisan consultation
with congress"

Tonight President Obama gave his speech justifying his bombing of Libya.  I noticed a few subtle things, the first of which was his gloating over how he didn't put ground troops on the ground yet a few sentences later emphasized that the action would use what ever means necessary.  The second was his mention that the action as of Wednesday would be a NATO action with the United States in support roles.  The "support" roles are not clearly defined.  The most glaring was his statement that he in fact did consult with congress in a bi-partisan way before taking action, a fact that's disputed by congress in a bi-partisan way.

The one thing he did admit indirectly was that he made a mess out of the country in that he acknowledged that it will take years to get a decent government in place.

Is Libya or its people better off ?  Are the interests of the United States better off by his action?  These two questions are yet to be answered.  One must not forget Oama was a protagonist in this uprising and thus one of the causes of the massacres, even if it was only through his incompetence.

****update****

After writing this I was reminded of the Obama apology tour early in his administration where he apologized for the very actions of our country through the years that he bragged about as great accomplishments tonight.

Thank you to Guido!!!!

Benghazi !

The Eggshell Of Security cooperation in the Mideast

The AP reports the diffusing of a bomb by Egyptian security forces, the escape of six thugs, at a gas terminal in the Sinai near el-Arish. .  The pipeline supplies both Israel and Jordan with natural gas.  There have been incidents as of late regarding sabotage of the pipeline and Israel has agreed that Egypt would deploy soldiers to guard the facilities.



Bombing Scene

This situation among others shows us the delicate way in which the Egyptian and Israeli governments work together to maintain a semblance of peace. 

The big question is, WILL THIS COOPERATION EXIST IN 6 MONTHS WITH MR. OBAMA ENCOURAGING UPHEAVAL AND THE CREATION OF POWER VOIDS IN THE REGION ?

The answer to the question stated above may be no.  We are already seeing signs of Iranian emboldment in the murder two weeks ago of an entire family, the newest bus station bombing, increased influance in Egyption political landscape of radicalism, brotherhood,and more rockets being lobbed.  Iranian proxy supported operaters are having a field day while the United States helps them get in power in Libya.

Natural Gas Pumping Facility

 

Monday Obama is making his speech explaining his rational for this potential direct combat aid to our enemies.  I have no doubt he will speak of humanitarian justification.  One must remember that Obama has supported the rebels in both cases before Gadaffi lashed out. Does that not make him one of the sides of these disputes?  Is it not Obama who supported the toppeling of both Egypt and Libya while knowing the only operators capable of taking the govts place in a power void was the Iranian based proxy operators such as Al Quida and the Muslum Brotherhood in all their varients? 

Way to go...Big "O"

Are we prosecuting the right war in Libya

Instead of a no fly- no drive zone in Libya ...we need a behind the bars zone for economic terrorist Steve Lerner...Nee, SEIU.

We are NOT at war!

The White House today said "we are not actually at war".

I guess the American people are supposed to not notice the 75 million dollars worth of missiles fired into Libya over just a few days. I guess we Americans are supposed to ignore the F-15 shot down yesterday. We can also ignore the 75 bombing missions today alone.

If the Big "O" says we are not at war......we are not at war.
