Is Gates Gone Because Like McChrystal he Disagreed With Obama?

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/26/world/26gates.html?_r=2&hp

Gates seemed to part of the Obama Administration for the long-term. At first he was merely the silent carry over from the Bush administration.  His continuation was a surprise because he was the CIA man during “waterboarding” and he was Secretary of Defense after Donald Rumsfeld.  That made him a participant in what the Obama administration has blamed for the wrong war, (Iraq) and the wrong methods “waterboarding’.  However, this writer was glad because Mr. Obama had denounced both and claimed that he would call all American troops home by 2009 and that he would prosecute CIA personnel as criminals and he would enter more fully into the “right” war which he defined as Afghanistan.  However right Mr. Obama’s ideas may have seemed to the millions who elected him, they were worrisome to the Military, the Intelligence Community and to the other millions who did not vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.   So when Gates decided to stay on as the Secretary of Defense and the Obama people allowed him, many felt relieved that sense and sanity would prevail over political ideology.

However, with the recent support of the Obama Administration for what they call the Arab Spring, the USA witnessed the reality and complexity of a duplicitous White House.  Some review first:

Please remember that Obama went to Egypt and the whole Mid East as one of the very first things he did as President.  During that 2009 trip the President called upon the Arab world to embrace a whole new concept of Freedom, and democracy.  It was a call to revolution. It was a speech addressed to the Arab World and just recently a later installment of that call was made by Obama in his speech for a Israeli return to 1967 borders.

This blogger has no inside information concerning any USA aid to revolutionary groups within the mid eastern counties and I have no insider information concerning CIA and other clandestine support for rebel groups inside those counties.

However, response to a new US President and the ideas of the “Audacity of Hope” concepts put forth by the Obama government seem  to be linked with organized and well equipped rebellions within the target nations.  The central planned and unified command structures of the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Syria and Libya are all too obvious- namely, the same issues for the street campaigns, the same signage, the same titles for each of the escalating days of “reckoning” “justice” “”rage” etc themes which indicated central planning and unified organization and funding instead of spontaneous and locally inspired discontent.  These factors indicate revolutionaries from outside the targeted countries who were provocateurs inciting street rebellions.

Then we get Tunisia which government easily collapses.  Then Egypt which also easily falls.  But Libya and Syria seem to linger.  The weaker of the two and the one with the most oil is Libya so we see the charade of humanitarian assistance at the end of 218 cruise missiles and two thousand five hundred bombing raids.  We see the farce of UN sanctioned mandates for civilian protection which is quickly used as a coverup for violent illegal aggression against the armed forces of the legal Libyan government in support of the rag-tag rebellion army.

Suddenly Secretary Gates appears before Congress with a sour faced Admiral Mullen next to him as Gates declares his opposition to the “war” in Libya.  And just as suddenly we hear of Gates being replaced by an old politically trusted hack named Leon Paneta and the CIA job  going to General Patraeus whose strategy in Afghanistan is failing.  Could it be that Paneta’s new job is to bring the military into line politically with the Obama idea of the “New World Order” and to bring the CIA into that same orbit.  (Interesting that Obama is also bringing McChrystal back as some kind of picture boy to be paraded around indicating additional military support for the Obama agenda?! Sad to see such a really great General reduced to a political puppet. But then again, when Obama shuts a person out, like he did McChrystal, the punishment is severely enforced until the person being punished begs for mercy.)

Is the Arab Spring Actually an Obama Idea for World Revolution?

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/world/africa/17diplomacy.html?_r=2&hp

Not too much here to say that was not covered in other posts.  However, one absolutely must ask the question of the connection betweeen the NATO led and Obama backed Aggression to topple the Libyan government and Obama’s speech that Irael must return to 1967 borders.  Was the “1967 Borders” speech an overt threat to Israel?  Was Obama warning them to stay out of his “Middle East Spring” plan? Did he force the Isreal leader to speak supportively here in order for Obama to continue to give them the money?  I believe that the Master Mind of the New World Order is Barrack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, Commander in Chief of all USA military forces, leader of the NATO alliance, and Executive Director of the Democrat Party.  Add to these New World Order achievements the increased legality for INTERPOL to arrest US citizens within the USA, the recent arrest of the Serbian General on a warrant issued by a International Court, and the pursuit of other so called “enemies” by the United Nations.  Is the New World Order being put into practice right in front of us based on an agenda that such an international police power is only to be used against crimnals and other bad guys?  However, who elected these leaders and Judges, and Police departments?  And who trained and deputized and empowered the international police force?  Does anyone really believe that such international power, once given, can be stopped?

Baseball, Sparky and Christianity

http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201105/other-side-sparky

Many bloggers have picked up this story as evidence that this man saw the fallacy of Christianity and abandoned the Church.  Such a very tiny bit of social behavior on the part of the Priest could not cause this life long Roman Catholic to abandon the Church,  and refuse a Church Funeral.  The article depicts a sincere and good man, and I am sure he considered that he too may have made some minor social mistakes during his life.  This kind of practicing Christian was not unaware of any faults of his own that others had silently forgiven.  Surely, he saw the Priest as a man with a job.  The Priest obviously has come to his friend.  Good.  The Priest has done his role with the dying Catholic.  Good.  So what that the Priest was an avid Baseball fan!  The Coach merely decided to affirm  something that he practiced throughout his life, humility.  The self-righteous anger of many bloggers about this devout Roman Catholic dishonors his memory.  He decision about his own funeral was a final action of a devout Christian man who was consistent.  He understood that his “daily Mass” attendance had inculcated in himself an attitude of gratitude in his own life which for Jesus’ sake resulted in good works and charity throughout his life.  One small fault of one priest who was a baseball fan did not cause Sparky to abandon all of that.  Instead, it informed his decisions concerning what he most wanted, and that was to be the best Christian he could be and if that meant no funeral or memorial service because he rested completely in the arms of Jesus and not his own fame, that speaks volumes.

Did Gaddafi Agree to Leave and USA Refuse to Allow Him?

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-03-09/aborted-gaddafi-amnesty-dealdetails-from-an-insider/?om_rid=NsgG76&om_mid=_BNd32VB8Zi2Jkg

What is the true intention of the massively illegal Libyan War conducted by the Western military alliance called NATO?  This writer believes that NATO involvement in Libya is a “Resource War” for control of Libyan oil. The phony coverup of so called protection of innocent civilians does not fit with the delivery of such humanitarian aid by bombs on Gaddafi’s home town, by 218 Cruise missiles against uniformed Libyan troops defending their nation against armed rebellion, and now by the use of increased anti personnel weapons capable of slaughtering Libyan uniformed troops in the field of battle.  The article purports that the Leader of the Revolution in Libya was potentially leaving but the Western nations prevented it!  The question is, “Does the Libya Resource War represent a resurgent European militarist imperialism?  Is the USA the secret ally of this Western “first world” aggression upon the “third world” Libya?  Are the American people now part of a covert international terrorism which seeks the clandestine overthrow of governments we do not like?

CIA Definitely Involved In Libya.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/31/world/africa/31intel.html?_r=1&src=mv

Somehow the USA and other Western nations think that it is okay for them to secretly involved inside of country with the intention of killing its leader and overthrowing it government by force.  As we review the actions of the Obama Administration relative to Libya we see that it engages in duplicity, which is essentially lying.  Maybe that does not surprise us in the USA who have read the Baldacci novels and the Bourne movies.  However, it underscores the fact that when other nations accuse the USA of itself being a terrorist nation, then we cannot legitimately disagree.  This writer, however, believes that although we understand the need for spying, the actions of the USA relative to phony rebels and the continued escalation of a “Resource War for Oil” in Libya reveals a cynical federal administration in Washington.  It is an administration that believe in the ideas first said you the Nazi Josef Goebbels, namely, that if you tell the people a lie often enough they will believe it.  Do citizens of the USA really want to be followers of a Nazi propangandist? As you read the article please be honest to recognize facts revealed, namely, that the USA is spending an enormous amount of money for planes, missiles, etc. in order to overthrown the legal government of Libya, which makes us, liars, cheats, and terrorists.  (It hurts me to say this about my nation, I served in the army for thirty years and four of those years in full support of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  But those were declared wars using our troops out in the open.)

Repub. Make Right Decision on Budget Limit.

It was a hard call but the newly elected House Republicans made the right call and so did many good willed Democrats as they rejected the concept of raising the debt limit without requiring massive cuts in spending.  The newly elected House Republicans were sent to Congress by the Electorate and the message from the American people to the Obama Administration and to the entire Federal government was Stop the spending increases and cut the budgets of current and projected programs.  Congratulations.  You are true American Patriots.  No more compromises on the part of the House of Representatives with a Democrat administration that does not deal fairly, does not keep it pledges, does not take the House seriously.  The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse and this writer believes that the majority of Americans are supportive.  It has been a tough week for the people as we wondered if the newly elected Republicans would collapse under Democrat and Presidential pressure? They did not and by voting as they did they have begun to establish again a Constitutional Republic as our founders and all generations until now have intended.  And as for Senator Harry Reid, Please stop being such a phony and lying on the floor of the Senate about how bad those terrible Republicans Reps are and how they will not compromise and how they will not cooperate.  Harry, remember your own words concerning the House proposed Ryan Plan.  You said it was “dead on arrival”.  I do not call THAT a spirit of compromise and cooperation.  Until the Senate Democrat party  starts working FOR America and not stupidly against Republicans, or until we replace the Dogmatic Democrats like Lautenberg and Menendez of New Jersey with genuinely patriotic Senators, nothing will get done to improve the everyday life of the citizens.

Were Sarkozy and Gaddafi political Allies Once?

http://www.euronews.net/2011/03/16/gaddafi-s-son-calls-the-libyan-rebels-traitors/

The pundits tell all of us to ignore this information because it “obviously” another smear and lie campaign by that terrible monster COL. Gaddafi.  But just consider if there is any truth in the son’s claims.  Well, if I were a novelist I would have Sarkozy double cross Gaddafi and use political intrigue to help me wipe Gaddafi and his family off the map.

Sarkozy and His Friend Gaddafi Photos

http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=slv8-yie8&va=sarkozy%2Bgaddafi

These are Internet Photos of the “Big Boys” Sarkozy, Gaddafi and Obama.  Some date back to 2007 but many are recent.  Does it not amaze you that they were such public “friends” and now three of them are trying to kill the one.  What did he do to them?  What does he have that they want?  Are Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy playing “king of the hill” using our money, our military services personnel, or ships, planes, missiles and special forces in order to topple his government and thereby to prove they are “superior” or that Europe will not give way to a “..tribal upstart from the deserts of Libya!”?  Click through them yourself and see the proof in the photos.  The war in Libya is dead wrong.  It is an modern resource war for oil.  The big boys are bullies who see Gaddafi as the weirdo kid in the group upon whom the other three can prey?

Sarkozy Could Be Guilty of Crimes Against Humanity

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110530/wl_mideast_afp/libyaconflictfrance_20110530055516;_ylt=AkDFcDRVgSbCs6jxHiCpOuEUewgF;_ylu=X3oDMTNkM2xnamhnBGFzc2V0A2FmcC8yMDExMDUzMC9saWJ5YWNvbmZsaWN0ZnJhbmNlBGNjb2RlA3JkbmJldG9wNTAwcG9vbARjcG9zAzgEcG9zAzgEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNsawNmcmVuY2hsYXd5ZXI

The French President thinks that he is safe under the phony oil war of revenge against Gaddafi.  Maybe not!  Others are finally stepping forward and asking about the invasion against the government of Libya.  Are people finally waking up to the extensive nature of this criminal aggression by former colonialist and imperialist countries like France, Britain and Belgium.  Do we as Americans really want to be known as war criminals and aggressors against Libya?  During Iraq there was a great cry by the anti Bush press concerning “…his war for oil.”  Now under the Pro Obama press, we have all anti Gaddafi stories highlighed.  Oh, yes, the American press reports a little of the “other side”  but always disparages the “Libyan Government “”Minders””  Which is to say that the people showing the reporters some NATO crime are absolutely phony and not believed.  Or that the Prime Minister of Libya is just a “stooge” for Gaddafi.  Or they will use other hidden code words or tones in their written reports which communicate to the audience that whatever the legal and internationally recognized government of Libya says are lies.  Today we even have a so called scientific report from a doctor who gave out questionaires to women in war areas and was surprized at the vastness of the rape that has occured by Gaddafi forces.  The doctor points out the similarities of all the 275 reports of rape.  However, there is no attempt to medically verify such claims.  This author is adamantly opposed to war and declares that rape is a horrible crime and the rapists must be apprehended.  However, the story of itself is troubling.  That is to say this:  There is enough social cohesion still remaining in Libya that such a written survery could be conducted?  There is enough government contolled secure areas where a survey specialist could work in safety?  The survey forms could be handed out in Arabic, filled out by Libyan citizens whose hushands had been tied up, their children and husband forced to view the women being raped repeatedly, then her husband and children executed in front of her!  This is horrendous.  This is horrible.  This must be thoroughly investigatged, the murdered husbands and children found and the women given immediate medical and psychiatric examination and hospital care.  Surely these 275 women must be hospitalized, their husbands and children recovered from the rubble where their murdered and mangled bodies lie in blood and dirt.  They must be given proper burials and their murders chronicled by NATO legal teams so that they can have their day in court and justice served.  But I hear someone say, that cannot be done because of the chaos of war!  Then how was the survey conducted and the crimes reported and how did these horrible murders become known to researchers in Libya?
