Guardian: Reports that Colonel Gaddafi has an open road to the rebel HQ of Benghazi. If President Obama loses next year folks it will be down to Libya, Democrats never do well in National Security but the Republicans will make POTUS live and breath Libya. It can be postulated that the Colonel Gaddafi will use his air power and heavy military equipment to route the opposition and then slaughter all those that took arms against him, the blood for the forthcoming massacre will be on the hands of one man, that is President Obama, he has allowed his ego to decide Foreign Policy, just because for a short time he was bought up a Muslim country does not make him expert on the issue, quite the reverse in some respects, cant see beyond his own liberal point of view. One can see the UN passing a No Fly Zone after the slaughter of the people of Benghazi. This was a great chance in Libya for the West to support freedom but Obama built his career on being opposed to Iraq, thus he was fighting the wrong war and the good people are going to die for the ego of a President.

The Last Stand in Libya = Benghazi
Guardian: Reports that Colonel Gaddafi has an open road to the rebel HQ of Benghazi.

Bahrain on the Brink - Civil War?
Telegraph: Reports that the King of Bahrain after requesting military aid from Saudi Arabia has declared a three month national emergency. The internal conflict in Bahrain is a proxy war between the more powerful Saudi Arabia which is Sunni while its adversary Iran is Persian and Shia. In the last few years Iran has built up its power base in the Middle East, this is seen as a threat by SA. As Bahrain is majority Shia while the Monarchy is Sunni the Government of SA does not want a satellite of Iran on his border, also that border on the SA side is the location of the minority SA Shias. Thus while the world is looking at Japan, SA and Libya and taking military actions that would be leading the TV news and newspaper coverage. The Oval in its heart of hearts must hope that protesters are suppressed quick in Bahrain and that the news coverage is limited, its awkward for POTUS, how can he be strong on Libya if a close ally is following in his footsteps.
