Obama Administration’s Foolish About Benghazi

http://news.yahoo.com/libya-militia-linked-u-attack-returns-benghazi-141851547.html

The Obama administration is the reason for the continued terrorist success in Libya.  Why?  Because Obama backed the rebel insurgents and terrorist Islamists who fought against Gaddafi. Using the romantic notion that all the Islamic countries needed was a breath of fresh Spring air, Obama ignited and then supported what has become a nightmare of terror for Libya, Egypt, and Syria.

A glaring fault of the Obama administration’s worldview is directly attributable to the President.  He seems to think that simply forcing an autocratic government out of power will automatically produce a grass-roots movement akin to the American Revolution of 1776.  However, the governments of Libya and Syria are autocratic for a vast array of social, ideological and tribal reasons.  The leadership of these regions, like that in Iraq and Iran is based on powerful clan and tribal allegiances.  These forces produced the autocratic governments, perpetuated them in existence and reinforced their continuation into this era.  The obvious breakdown of Libya and Iraq into competing tribal and clan factions, each at war with the other over land, influence and Islam, is evidence of the correctness of this analysis.  Yet, the Obama administration, its State department and the CIA that serves him, followed an amateurish plan based on romantic notions of hope and change.

Surprisingly, it is Vladimir Putin who is the voice of a seasoned and reasonable national policy regarding the Mid Eastern nations in general and Libya and Syria in particular.  Putin was betrayed during the illegal aggression against Libya which was carried out by Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy.  In conjunction with the Belgians, these three leaders had gotten United Nations permission to protect rebels forces fighting against a member of the UN (Libya).  But the UN resolution 1973 was then used by these leaders as a cover under which they engaged their nations in criminal aggression against the legal government of Gaddafi, a government, which until his murder by the rebels, was recognized by 103 nations as the legal government of Libya.  The criminal aggression was carried out by bombing, and strafing the legal army of Libya by NATO forces.  It was carried out by the use of 213 USA cruise missiles fired against the legal army and government of Libya by NATO.  The illegal aggression was carried out by the use of USA Special Forces personnel on the ground in Libya who aided the rebels, guided the bombing raids, and spotted for the missile attacks.  The entire affair enraged Putin because it was illegal under International law.  But the powerful Belgians, French, English and Americans were never called accountable.  Instead, the puppet press of the Obama administration depicted the Libyan aggression as a war of freedom against tyranny.

Evidence of confiscated weapons shipments by Russia to the Syrian government of Assad, seems to indicated that the Russians are doing legally what the USA did illegally.  How so?  The Syrian government, like the Libyan government of Gaddafi, has an internationally recognised right of self-defense against all enemies foreign and domestic.  By the way, it is illegal, regarded as treason, and punishable by death, if a citizen or group of USA citizens attempts to overthrown the federal government by force.  So, what’s the difference with Libya?  Oh, I forgot!  We declared Gaddafi a dictator and that made every illegal and criminal action that we took, well, it made our action right!!??

Strange, isn’t it, that a former Communist KGB agent, Vladimir Putin, should be more of defender of national sovereignty and I believe in Libya, of national self determination,  then the Obama administration?

Gaddafi had moved very forcefully to attempt to atone for his terrorist actions in Lockerbie.  He acknowledged the crime and paid the blood money.  Which, although Westerners do not agree with the process, is nonetheless, regarded as an expiation for the crime.  So, if the relatives of the victims accept the blood money, they are required to exonerate the perpetrator of the crime.  (Hey, I don’t agree either.  But if we are going to play the game and accept the money then we cannot secretly decide that we have other rules that we apply to the game that are unknown to the other participant.)

Gaddafi had stopped all Nuclear bomb development in acquiesce to American demands.  He had stopped all International terrorism funding and activity in return for USA government recognition of his government.  A fact attested by the visit of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Gaddafi.

However, President Obama did not honor the promises of the previous USA  administration.  President Obama reneged on government to government agreements.  He decided to repudiate the promises of the USA made to Gaddafi, instead using our prestige at the United nations to get Resolution 1973 passed and then using it as a legal cover for illegal and criminal aggression against a sovereign Libya government,  an action which was condemned by Nuremberg when it was done by the Nazi against Poland, etc.

The amateurish and cavalier approach of President Obama to foreign affairs in terribly illustrated by his handling of the Benghazi murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Stevens.  It seems that President Obama thinks that he can engage in acts of war and then walk out of the oval office and go to bed, leaving the conduct of the war to others.  But what is his plan?  What is he intending to accomplish?  What is his focus in terms of the macro and micro scenario of international politics?  Where is his instruction manual for what he intends for his officials to achieve?  Just saying to his staff, “handle it.” and then going to bed is not the basis for policy, anymore than just giving a speech on a USA issue is the same as the proposal of legislation to the Congress.

Speeches and statements to staff to “handle it” are evidence of a politician who is not engaged in governing.  They are the cavalier statements of a person who has little regard for the mechanics of real life government.  Maybe, Obama thinks that all he has to do is think and speak and everybody else has to work.

Egypts Coptic Christians Were there Before Islam

http://news.yahoo.com/ap-interview-egypts-pope-criticizes-islamists-195303020.html

 

“We are a part of the soil of this nation and an extension of the pharaohs and their age before Christ. Yes, we are a minority in the numerical sense, but we are not a minority when it comes to value, history, interaction and love for our nation,” he said.

 

His Holiness is right to assert that the Coptic Christian community pre dates the Islamic conquest of the seventh thru ninth centuries  His annoyance with constantly being relegated to minority status should resonate with Americans who are currently battling to empower all so-called minorities.  However, unlike USA where recent minorities actually are such, the Coptic Christian community dates from the earliest Christian era, in the first century, (that’s 0 to 99 years) Anno Domini.

Hilary Clinton is an Old Woman

http://news.yahoo.com/ap-interview-clinton-raps-benghazi-critics-084552064–politics.html

It is time for those of us, and I too am 65, to give over and let the younger generation have a time at bat.  This is why I am appalled by those who want to run Hilary Clinton in 2016.  By then she will be 70 and frankly, although I too, do not think of myself as old, nonetheless, she and I are old, and it is time to give over the world to our children.

Regarding Benghazi, it seems to me that she should just move on and be a grandmother.  Her last grandstand is merely a revenge tactic against fellow citizens who do not agree with her view of what happened and what we can do about it.  She is merely trying to focus attention upon her critics and not upon the facts.  And this is doubly egregious since her whole speech is about the real world and the facts.  Yet, she is spinning about others and ignoring the false information from President Obama about the video, and the false talking points from some bogey man in the CIA, and the false statements on national television by the USA UN ambassador, and the weeks of administration insistence upon the video and the mob.

Mrs. Clinton lashes out at others as being not realistic, while she and the Obama administration attempted to blind fold the American public to the facts of Benghazi and her own and President Obama’s failure to treat the attack realistically.  She, and Obama, and the joint chiefs and the CIA and the FBI were all watching the events as they were happening.  It is the same as watching a person on a public street being attacked by a gang of four knife wielding crooks and doing nothing about it.  Because that is what she and President Obama did, they watched it happen, did nothing about it and went to bed as our citizens were tortured and brutally murdered at our embassy in Libya.

Mrs. Clinton should not be allowed to escape the verdict of the people that she and President Obama failed, and that they covered up by lying to the Press and the American people.  Both she and all involved should not be allowed to turn the tables on her accusers.  She and President Obama were in charge, our military was at the ready and it was Mrs. Clinton and President Obama who failed to grasp the gravity of the real life situation and instead waited for some kind of magical solution as they watched our citizens die in Benghazi.

This writer is not a Clinton hater and I know that many admire Mrs. Clinton for standing by her man during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.  Nonetheless, Benghazi is something that we cannot ignore in an attempt to “honor” a spurned wife.  Some would ask why I bring up the impeachment over the Lewinsky scandal.  Some would ask why I bring up Mrs. Clinton’s own evaluation and scathing criticism of Obama when she was running against him.  I do it because history is real and no amount of good intentions or fervor in favor of a particular person should blind us to the facts.  In fact, Mrs. Clinton’s parting speech says the same thing.  However, she wants to apply the rules to others but not to herself.  Well, friends, that is not real.

Palestine and Israel are a Real Tragedy for People

http://news.yahoo.com/abbas-asks-israel-let-palestinians-fleeing-syria-211524805.html

 

The key here is that Palestine did not accept the fleeing refugees.  Instead their Palestinian brothers, (so-called) used them as  human hostages against Israel.  The so-called “Right of Return” was a key element in the Zionist claim to get back the land of ancient Israel against the Palestinians.  So Abbas knew what he was doing and he dropped the request of asylum when Israel recognized the ploy and denied the request.  Sadly, the downtrodden and homeless Palestinians are the hapless pawns in this mid eastern game of politics.

Putin’s Policu On Mid East Better than Obama’s

http://news.yahoo.com/russias-vladimir-putin-says-west-fomenting-jihadi-blowback-173800021.html

President Obama should get outside his Muslim childhood and hear the real call of Islam which is a called to radicalism, terrorism, and Jihad.  All of these are against democracy and freedom. Instead they are religious, medieval, and tyrannical.  It is very surprising that V. Putin, a former KGB agent but for the second time, the President of Russia, should see the world with more clarity and realism than B. Obama.  Yes, you can throw the relative state of freedom and democracy in Russia against me.  Nonetheless, Putin’s realistic and politically incorrect assessment of the Terrorist Islamic movement in Mid East, is accurate and should be given a lot of attention.

Russia is Friend of Syrian Peace

http://news.yahoo.com/start-something-big-russia-pulls-hundred-citizens-syria-155610519.html

The rebels are armed by secret USA, British and French arms shipments.  Look at map, These three nations are very far away from Syria.  Russia is right next door.  So the Russians are rightfully more interested in Syria than the rest.  The talk on these pages is as though the cold war was not over.  What do all those without sons and daughters in our military want…More war?  The Russians have been very clear.  Stop the secret arming of the rebels.  Stop the millions of dollars of pay to the rebels.  Stop trying to overthrow the government of Syria by international State sponsored terrorism, which is what such funding and arming of the rebels actually is,  Then the Russians will support transition from Assad and international UN sponsored free elections in Syria.  From the beginning, it has been the Russians who have pursued peace. The NATO allies, France, Britain and USA  have pursued war.  First, we helped overthrow our ally Mubarak, than Gaddafi, and now Assad.  If Russia tried to overthrow the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama, we would be screaming about it, rattling our swords and threatening World War.  The way to stop the terrible bloodshed is for USA to affirm our commitment to peace. If USA State sponsored terrorism against Syria was stopped, the rebels would retreat.  The Assad Regime would stop defending itself.  The people would live and many innocent children would be ensured parents into the future.

Obama is always with the Rich, Famous and Powerful

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/romney-vows-us-renewal-obama-big-money-month-17414909?page=2  The truth is that Obama just does not tell the truth.  He says he is for the little person but he spends all of his time with Hollywood rich people, ( Cloney and friends)  Corporate Executives (Chairman of GE) the Wall Street Billionaires ( Warren Buffet) and the powerful (George Soros).  It amazes me that so many people insist that Obama is a compassionate lover of the middle and lower classes.  He is not.  He came to the White House with 900 thousand and his rich friends have helped him to turn that into 12 million.  Obama is a one percenter!!! Yet, it seems that especially middle-aged white women are always at his rallies with big broad smiles and lusty cheers as though he was the man of their dreams.  Well, so much for sex appeal (Likeability?) in politics.  Ok for you, if that’s your thing!  But please do not confuse your libido fantasy with governing the USA.  Obama uses our Air Force One plane at 178 thousand dollars each trip to go to Hollywood and have lunch with Movie stars, and dinner with Rock stars and raise millions of dollars  while our military personnel are being killed daily in Afghanistan and our Ambassador and two Navy seals are murdered because Obama didn’t want to insult Muslim fanatics. And when they are murdered, the Obama administration takes out an advertisement in Libya apologizing for any hurt feelings that some crackpot film maker may have caused which the Obama people said  justified the outrage that led to murders.  Maybe that is why more males are for Romney, he stands up for America, he stands beside those he asks to serve in the military, and he does not blame others for his own failures.  We need Romney for President and not the pick of rock stars, hollywood actors and enamored middle-aged white housewives.

Obama Administration and US Military Engage in Terrorism-Repeatedly

http://news.yahoo.com/u-drone-strike-kills-15-northwest-pakistan-officials-033713485.html  Amazing, no screams of outrage by the Left.  No Washington Post, New York Times outrage. No Chris Matthews and Obermann rants against the Obama White House.  All of this silence displays the mainstream media’s murderous complicity in acts of international murder against innocent foreign nationals.  These same media and this administration were highly indignant when GW Bush agreed to allow waterboarding interrogation of known terrorist prisoners. All of whom are alive today.  But when the Obama administration repeatedly allows the murder of what now amounts to well over fifty innocent “suspects” there is no protest and even open praise of the activity.  Maybe it is true that there is no morality anymore.  But for this writer, murder is murder.  Also for this writer, the actions of our nation must not imitate the actions of the september 11th terrorists.   I am not for the jurisdiction of International Courts.  But I am amazed that the much praised International Criminal Court at the Hague does not indict the Obama Administration for criminal aggression and terrorism.  Pakistan is a sovereign nation and our drones illegally transgress their national borders, and kill its citizens. Basically, these actions are the actions of a rogue State that condones and fosters international terrorism.  The USA and NATO with United Nations sanctions just completed a very bloody and illegal war against the legal government of Gaddafi in Libya.  The excuse for that war?  We were told that they committed acts of murder against their own people.  The end of that war?  We toppled the Libyan central government, installed the NTC which is a French puppet regime groomed by French and British intelligence agencies and at the last, murdered the Head of State.  All along we were told to remember Locerbie and the airliner bombing that killed people.  Now the Obama government and the US military are killing people weekly and we are told that it is okay because the US military and the Obama government think that the people we kill are really terrorists.  Amazing arrogance but much worse, these are the actions of a government that is morally bankrupt by the false notion that individual acts of terror against suspected terrorists and their families, children and neighbors resulting in their wholesale slaughter is okay because we are protecting America.
