The Talking Head Show, Obama and Libya

Saturday is Talking Head Day.


The Talking Head
Obama and Libya

NATO In Name Only

It seems that NATO is not pulling its weight in the big "O"'s Libyan action. American commanders have considered standing down American assets until more multinational involvement is forthcoming.

So much for the strength of Obama's multinational coalition. There seems to be a steady evaporation of support from the Arab nations, the United Nations, now NATO.

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 Throws 30,000 Dollar A Head Harlem Fund-Raiser

According to the NY Post, Page 6 section the Big "O" threw a 30,000 dollar a head Harlem fund-raiser earlier this week.  The guest list was secret but of note was that Charlie (the tax dodger) Rangel was allowed to attend for free.

Obama is said to have raised over 1 million dollars at the event.

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" ?

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!!!!

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"

Yikes! No wonder Obama went to South America.

Will any American who doesn't want "O"'s head on a platter please stand up! Nader, Clinton, Farrakkklan, Waters, fat boy Mike Moore, ......and the entire state of Arizona.

Maybe Obama should read Dale Carnegie's book! He is experiencing an influence deficit of Biblical proportions.

Say it aint so ! Talk of impeachment for "O"?

According to Politico.com the "I" word was floated during a conference call Saturday between Democrat players. Its rumored that during the call between Jackson Lee, Nadler, Maxine Waters, Dennis Kuccinich, Diane DeGett, Barb Lee and organizer John Larson of Connecticut who were distressed over Obama not consulting with Congress before bombing Lybia, discussed Impeachment during the call. Sources familiar with the call said Impeachment was explored as it pertained to the legal aspects of the attack on Lybia.

Meanwhile Louis Farrakkklan blasted the "O"mighty one over the rocket attacks launched against Lybia as bad for his image among Africans. Farrakkklan said about Obama, on a Chicago radio show Saturday..... " just who the hell do you think you are".....referring to Obama's attack on Gadaffi who happens to be an allie of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakkklan.

Its said Nixon knew that it was time to throw in the towel when he lost Walt Kronkite, and hence the nation. Has Obama lost Farrakkklan and hence his base?
