Obama Watched The Destruction of Osama!

In the news we see a photo of the President and the Vice President and the Secretary of State as they watch up close and personnel the killing of our arch-enemy Osama Bin Laden. It must have been a horrific scene. No sorry here for the mastermind of the Twin Towers killing of over three thousand. Nonetheless, America is not a terrorist nation. Surely, our President felt in his bones the violence of this event. And I am confident that it was difficult for him to watch killing as it actually happened especially because he had personally ordered it to be done.

I am not a fan of the President and I believe that he is taking the USA to ruin by following a MAOist or perhaps a corporatist policy. Whatever label you place on his policies, I believe they are the wrong ones. Why? Because they all rely upon the wisdom and the fore-site of the central USA government to make the every day personal decisions that rightly belong to the individual.

Yet, I pray for our President everyday. I do not dislike him. In fact I think that a lot of people misunderstand Rush Limbaugh when he says that he wants the President to fail. Why do I think Rush is misunderstood? Because Rush does not separate the “person” of Obama from the “person” who is President. I am absolutely sure that Rush Limbaugh has no ill will against Barrack Hussein Obama. I mean it! And if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or Marc Levin harbor ill will against the person known to us as Barrack Hussein Obama, then double shame on them. But this writer believes in his heart, that although all three named individuals vehemently opposed the policies of the President, they wish him and his family no harm. And I am equally sure that BHO understands this and is okay with it. (Hey, BHO is President. He’s a big boy and he fishes with the big boys so he knows that what I say is true. If he didn’t, he would never have gotten to where he is.)

Okay, What’s the point?

This writer wholeheartedly believes that these days are the most crucial days in the life of our President. He can follow the ways of war and killing. Honestly, in the Osama thing he probably had no real choice! But in what comes NOW he has a very big choice.

President Obama can follow the path opened to him by the Nobel Peace Prize or he can follow the path opened to him by the Central Intelligence agency.

It is this writer’s hope that President Obama will follow the path opened to him by the Nobel Peace Prize. It is the harder course, it is the more treacherous path, it has the most possibility for failure. Nonetheless, I believe that President Obama has the “Right Stuff” and that he can make the tough decision and opt for peace.

Get the Hell Out of Afghanistan!

Forget about all the women in Burkas. That is their culture and their religion as soon as our tanks are out of there, the men will impose their tyranny again. Eventually the seeds sown by USA will germinate and flourish and the women will take care of themselves. Sad that it will take a long time but that is the way in very rural areas worldwide. Forget about the Afghan people. We have one misguided person in Florida who burns a Koran and the Afghans kill eight people in reprisal. Noteworthy is that the Florida burning didn’t inflame hatred until our supposed ally Karzai raised it as a rally point for muslim bigots. Forget about the Taliban. They are a political party of muslim zealots who want Sharia law in Pakistan ( nuclear power) and Afghanistan. Hey, if the people are going to allow themselves to be beheaded by a bunch of overly zealot Moslem terrorists. What are we supposed to do about it. Really! We are thousands of miles and a thousand years away from them. You know, all the things that our USA government is doing there used to be handed by Christian missionaries who brought food, medicine, education and Western progress to benighted rural area’s of the world. The correction of Afghan cultural and religious issues is not a USA government or even a USA people problem. It is their problem. Stop the war. Stop the killing, bombing and aggression. Bring our troops home now and spend the 60 billion dollar war budget here. Hey, just give every American a percentage tax break for every billion dollars saved by not fighting a losing battle in Afghanistan. Obama is wrong to continue and to escalate the war there. We need to get out.

US Causes Civilian Deaths Libya

http://thestar.com.my/news/nastory.asp?file=/2011/3/31/worldupdates/2011-03-31T152247Z_01_NOOTR_RTRMDNC_0_-560191-1&sec=Worldupdates

The writer of this blog is not a fan of Gaddafi, however, as I have written, the US air strikes against the government of Libya are blatant aggression. I understand that no American wants to hear such accusations against their government. But this writer feels that there is just too much go go and rha rha in support of military strikes against Libya. Every day we hear the talk shows drone on about the need for humanitarian help to the people of Libya. Well the above website tells of reliable new from the Vatican Rep. in Tripoli that the air strikes are killing innocent civilians. Also add to this tragedy, the fact that 20 thousand refugees have flooded into Italy from Libya and we see the humanitarian disaster this NO WAR really is becoming. Folks, let’s be honest, there have been hundreds of thousands of bullets fired from US fighter jets and attack helicopters. There have been 212 missile attacks against Libya. Do you really believe that no body was killed? No, but you say, that they were Gaddafi’s soldiers. Well, are the legal soldiers of the government of Libya not human beings? They are slaughtered from the air by the USA Air soldiers a nation and a people with whom the Libyan soldiers are not at war! Such behavior on the part of the USA is equal to snipers shooting at the police of New York City. Peace loving Americans should insist that the government stop this illegal war. If not, then those same peace-loving Americans should insist that we immediately accept the twenty thousand refugees into the USA-people who are refugees because of USA bombs and missile attacks.

Libyans Have the Right of Free Speech.

The rebels are in retreat again. Take away foreign intervention and the so-called popular uprising is easily defeated. Where are the five million civilians who are supposed to be rebels? Obviously, if even a majority of the people wanted Gaddafi out, they would shelter, feed, fund and join the rebels. But the people do not! Is it possible that this is actually a minor rebellion of radical former military people who are themselves, like Gaddafi , seeking to seize control of Libya? And the so-called leadership of the rebellion. USA acknowledges it knows next to nothing about them, and our Sec. State has meetings with well dressed, expatriats who fled to France and lived in luxury while ordinary Libyans slogged through their daily life under the regime. Do we remember Chalabi in Iraq? He was a cheat and a phony expatriate who we thought was the answer to Iraq’s problems. Yesterday I read news that the people in Gaddafi’s hometown were bombed, strafed and obviously, killed. They are civilians but of his tribe. So, it seems that the people who are civilians but who support Gaddafi are not allowed have free speech, free politics and freedom of assembly. Why? because a foreign President of the USA ( The land of the free and the home of the brave) tells them they are not allowed that freedom. The need to believe as he does and as do French and British colonial imperialists. I really do not agree with most of what Louis Farrakhan says, but he is right to ask President Obama who the hell he thinks he is? Indeed as President of the USA he is one of the most important world leaders. But he is not President of the world? And Lindsey Graham made the association of the Minutemen with the Libyan rebels. Please Senator, do not liken the Libyan rebels to the citizen soldiers of Bunker hill and Concord, and Valley Forge. Last word for this post. Did any of us realize that we had such war mongers in the Congress. Amazing to hear Senator Mc Cain and Liebermann endorse foreign interventionism. America is not the policeman nor the savior of the world. And for those who will quote Gaddafi about “…showing no mercy..” Arabs are noted for exaggeration. Remember Saddam with his Mother of all Battles speech?

Mc Cain Libermann Warmongering?

The drums of war beat loud and fast for some leaders. It is amazing to hear Senators Libermann and Mc Cain in full support of the illegal bombing of Libya. Today I read that Nato, ( that means American) fighters bombs Gadhafi’s home town. Now aren’t these people innocent of any crime? The article said that the bombs were dropped on his home town because the people there supported him. That is just plain immoral. The people there are free to have their political opinions. If they want to back Gadhafi that is their “constitutional” right. I mean, let’s be honest, we say we are for freedom of speech and freedom of political opinion but we bomb Libyan people BECAUSE they exercise their freedom to support whomever political leader they want to support. But it is not the leader that Obama says they are allowed to support. So, we are bombing them. Likewise, I read that we strafed and bombed Gadhafi’s troops, tanks and armored personnel for the purpose of allowing the rebels to gain control of a city and to regain control of another. A few days ago the President and his spokespeople said that it was unfair for Gadhafi to have tanks and troops and armored personnel carriers and we were going to ” level the playing field.” But now the rebels have our planes and bombs in limitless supply while we force Gadhafi forces to have no planes and we wantonly destroy his tanks and helicopters. So now, I ask, who has the unfair advantage and that unfair advantage is not even Libyan it is foreign. And even worse, it is the colonialist imperialist forces of France and England and shamefully, American. Now, on Meet the Press we even hear a Senator say that we should support the internal unrest in Syria, seek to over throw the Syrian government and if needed bomb Syria and put boots on the ground in both Syria and Libya. This writer wants to know if the good Senator thinks we should pour down bombs upon Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a tyranical monarchy and and should we also bomb Palestine a home to Hamas and while we are at it, maybe a few cruise missiles should be shot at Lebanon and Hezbollah? The warmongering of President Obama is amazingly brazen. These are American planes paid for with American dollars and American pilots on the US military payroll and Congress which is the ONLY part of the US government under the Constitution which is allowed to declare war is not even consulted!! Instead the warmongers consult NATO in Brussels, (the new world order headquarters) and the Arab league, (who the hell are they?) and the United Nations, (the historic new world order headquarters.) And what did we seek from them? We asked their permission. And once the US President got their permission our overly aggressive President told us lie and lie as he pursued a bellicose war path of wanton destruction upon the five million people of Libya, all the while denying an attempt to kill Gadahfi and declaring that our effort is humanitarian. Well, what is humanitarian about a war waged against the sovereign state of Libya? Should the USA be cavorting with the ugly colonialist imperialist regimes of England and France against an Arab nation? Well, enough said on that. Now to the outflanking of the Congress as the President takes to the public broadcasting system to force the Congress to approve his constitutionally illegal action by appealing directly to the public. I hope the people will reject the President’s facile manipulation of his power to dictate another war and one which is plainly raw aggression.

American Agression in Libya

American is an aggressor nation which has attacked another country . The President hooked up with two colonial powers to attack the sovereign state of Libya. All of this is illegal, no matter what the United Nations says and it indicates that the United States is now willing to invade and continue to invade another nation in order to destroy the forty-year old functional government and replace it with something else. The United States is the aggressor because Libya did not attack the USA nor did Libya attack citizens of the USA , nor the embassy of the USA. Instead, the USA bombed Libya with aircraft bombs and missiles. This unprovoked attack of three nations of advanced military power against one small Arab nation is an action of aggression pure and simple. Libya was not and is not a threat to the peace, stability or sovereignty of the USA or its citizens. Yet, the USA attacks not only the army, but the nation of Libya itself. What else do you call bombing airfields, attacking administration building, destroying government centers and political party buildings, the compound of the dictatorial ruler and strafing tanks, shooting down heliocopters and preventing its government from quelling an armed rebellion. Last time I thought of it, I remember that armed rebellion against the USA is illegal and considered an act of treason punishable by death. Now some would argue that he is a dictator and therefore not worthy of respect. Did he not address the UN in the USA a few years ago? Did we arrest this man and throw him into prison? Did he not sign legally binding contracts with international companies and a PR firm in the USA? How did he get the weapons that he has? He bought them and the vendors, including many national governments, accepted his money as being the legal tender of the ruler of Libya. The position of many commentators in the USA is to be rejected. Sean Hannity, Bill O Reilly and the boys at CNN and MSNBC are cheering this new WAR. If it is a righteous war, where is the declaration of war from the Congress of the USA? No, this is unprovoked aggression and the criminal is the USA and stop harping that the UN said it was okay to bomb Libya in order to destroy the Libyan government, kill that government’s soldiers and the like…I cannot list all the crimes because it is sickening. And let’s not be two faced about our intentions. We say we want to defend the people but on the news we see that the rebels are not the people but a small band of former libyan soldiers and political activists and organizers who themselves say that they do not have enough fighers to defeat the government of Libya. And the spokeman for the USA State Deptment said Thursday March 24 that our government is in constant daily contact with the rebels for the purpose of finding out who they are, what they stand for, and what they intend to do if we help them to win. So we are fighting a war of aggression against the internationally recognized dictatorship of Libya in favor of a group of somebodies about whom we know nothing. Imagine that our CIA and military intelligence knows nothing about the leaders of this rebel group nor about its goals and aims! ABSURD. We should get out of Libya immediately and unilaterally. Forget this Coalition bull. The nations attacking are merely former imperialist colonial tyrants who seem to want to reclaim some kind of lost military glory. Shame.

Is Syria Next to Fall?

The Obama administration is either oblivious to the north Africia revolution’s potential to create a Muslim Arab Caliphate or it is assisting in the creation of such a thing! Granted, the area could use new leadership but the destruction of Libya and the destabilization of all of North Africa is not the way to do it. Rather, this observer is amazed at the organized consistency of the so call spontaneous uprising of the peoples. There is just too much sameness and too much regularity in the process, which is consistently starting with peaceful citizen protests and rallies, then followed by shooting and then a regularly correographed progression of increasingly radicalized demonstrations. All of them are aimed at overthrowing the regimes of each of the countries. None of them seeks reform or renewal and none is open compromise and negotiation. They want power. They want control of each national government. They want legitimacy so that each new revolutionary government will have access to all the resources, money and power of each nation. They want to immediately be recognized as the legal government of that nation, so as to enjoy the sovereign rights and protections that they deny to the present governments. It is not beyond this writers sense of the possible to see in this amazingly well organized and in the amazing sameness of each nations revolutions- it is possible to see a pattern that tells us that someone else or some other group is calling the shots and pulling the strings. Al Qaida? The muslim brotherhood? Some othr nefarious group of “New World Order” zealots? Is the liberal Western Press and media being “played the fool?” by a cynical and vicious group of international corporate criminals? Are the Western governments and especially President Obama being duped by terrorist groups that play to his ideological zealotry? Fearfully, our war planes and bombs may be aiding our ideological enemies and paving the way for them to seize control over the assets that they need to carry out a program of destabilization in Europe with the goal of weakening and eventually, (say twenty five years from now. (Hey they think long term!) of eventually defeating the USA?

Tell Iraq where to shove it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110217/wl_nm/us_iraq_usa_damages

As a soldier (COL) retired who served four years in support of Iraqi freedom (stateside) I find this article appalling and a desecration to the memories of thousands of US war dead and an insult to the thousands more injured and maimed in defending the Iraqi people against themselves, their fanatical Jihadists, their human bomb terrorists and their violent culture. Instead, we demand that the Iraqi government immediately disavow this article, publically criticize those who made it and apologize to the American people for such insensitivity.
