Libyagate - Libyan Scandal

Guardian Live - Middle East: Reports that 2 former heads of security for the US mission in Libya have stated to  House Committee that the Hillary Clinton's State Department refused requests for more security for the US Consulate in Libya.  The blog post notes the following, " ..Republicans painted a picture of an incompetent state department failing to heed warnings of a growing terrorist threat....then covering up the circumstances of the full scale militia assault.. ". 

Lets Get Real: 

It seems that a 2nd man is going to throw Hillary Clinton under the bus, her husband was the first over his affair, he lied to her, now the Obama Oval needs someone to blame for the death of the US Ambassador in Libya.   Either the Clinton State Department on its own bat, decided the US Consulate in Libya did not need more security or the Oval placed pressure on the State not to send more Americans in to Libya in an election year.  Lets see if Bill Clinton is going to allow his wife to take the political bullet for Obama, if she does she is finished for 2016, her national security background would be in shreds.  Interesting story folks. 

Russia vs. Turkey - Syrian Crisis

Telegraph: Reports that Putin Government in Russia wants a justification by Turkey for its interception of a civilian plane between Russia and Syria. 

Lets Get Real: 

This is just show folks, the Russians are NOW saying that there were no military equipment on the Russian plan, one can assume that the CIA told the Turks that the Russians were supplying their old ally from the days of the Cold War.   The Russians are playing a very risky game, Syrians are backed up by Russia and Iran, while if it comes down to it the Turks are members of NATO, and thus the US would have to support any threat to Turkey.   President Obama could not do a Kennedy and sell out Turkey as President Kennedy did in 1962 over the Cuban Missile Crisis.   Thus the Syrian Civil War has the risk of developing in a major regional War, which has global implications for the US and Russia. 

Syrian/Turkish Front - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Turkish Government has stated that a Russian Plan on route to Syria that it intercepted had military cargo on board. 

Lets Get Real:

The Putin Government will be going through the roof, MR KGB himself, President President will not be happy that its close ally Syria is not getting its support.  This will raise tensions between Syria and Turkey, they are already hot due to Syria shelling Turkey and Turkey responding, if this tension raises it could drag in NATO, and thus the US.   Lets hope the Oval is keeping a close eye on this crisis, better than it did with Libya.   This could turn in to nasty war very fast, it would be good way for the Assad Regime to unite Syria and to create the PR within Syria that the rebels are Western agents, thus lets see how this develops folks.
