Algerian Crisis - US Hostages - Terror Update 3

The New York Times: Report the following on the Algerian Crisis, " One senior official said that seven to eight Americans were among the hostages — the first official indication of the number of Americans involved .. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Oval must be praying that this does not drag on, it does not want this even to overshadow the official start of the 2nd term next week, what if this is on going, will the Oval have to reduce the Parties, what if it get worse, YES folks even the uber main stream media could not cover for the Oval, they would have to cover the story, all although the 2012 Campaign the Oval stated tha Al Qaeda was on the floor and the Oval has saved the US car industry, never put your trust in history folks, history has way of baiting you on the backside, who ever you are, from Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, to President Obama.   The omens for the 2nd Obama term are not good, what the political Gods give they take away, and its their choice when the strike. 

Algerian Update - Terror Update 2

Telegraph Live: Reports the following in its 6.39pm post, " ...some 30 are still unaccounted for. Up to 12 of those may be Britons. Meanwhile, the US has confirmed that an unknown number of Americans are still being held hostage. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the last thing the Oval needs before it starts its 2nd term, the Al Qaeda linked terrorists could be returning to the example of the Tehran Regime at the end of the Carter Administration,  between 1979 -81, they held over fifty diplomats as hostages, this ended the Carter Presidency, while even the great Ronald Reagan had his Iran problem, selling old missiles  to Iran as to get Iran to help release US hostages in Lebanon, net result, more hostages were taken.   The Al Qaeda linked groups in Africa might not be able to pull off another 9/11 but they can cause massive problems for Western companies and Western Government by taking hostages and causing hart burn in the Oval and Downing Street.  The French were right to take on the Islamic terrorists in Mali, its close enough that should the terrorists take over Mali that it would be a threat to the region and to Europe.   This growing threat has to be dealt with, the War on Terror is not over folks, it never was, no matter what the Oval thinks, events have a way telling the truth folks, even to the Oval. 

Latest from Algeria - Terrorist Update 1

Guardian: Reports on the latest from the hostage crisis in Algeria, " A small group of jihadists are still holding part of the In Amenas natural gas plant ....about 30 foreign contractors at the site have still not been accounted for.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The UK and US Governments should demand that the SAS and US Special Forces be allowed to take out this small terrorist unit, our Soldiers are the experts at this close combat, the US and UK train their special forces for years to deal with these kind of incidents.    Thus time for the Western Powers to place political and economic pressure on the Algerian Government to give way on this case, the UK does not want to lose its 10 Citizens, the Algerian Government is used to fighting large civil war cases, this requires a fine military strike, not bombs away and lets see the result.   Yes folks this blog is not that happy with the Algerian Government, but that is also the feeling in the US and the UK. 

Algerian Hostages - Mali Effect

BBC News: Reports that thirty Foreign hostages are still missing after the Algerian Army moved in to counter Al Qaeda linked terrorists at a oil installation. 

Lets Get Real:

The blog has not reported on the Algerian terrorist attack as the details even now remain scant, and not complete, at least 10 UK Subjects have not bee accounted for, the UK Government was not informed that that the Algerian Army was going in, one has to say it was a massive attack, it can be assumed that that the UK and US wanted to send in the SAS and US Special Forces but that the Algerian Government want to show it could take out local terrorists.   The Al Qaeda linked group has stated that the French action in Mali is one of the reasons for the attack,  as has been reported the plan was well planned, the French action just gave the terrorists some more PR to use against the West and increase support among their supporters.  The West should NEVER deal with terrorists, that is one lesson of Iran - Contra, you either capture terrorists or kill them, the Obama kill policy with drones has been very successful, on terrorists the Oval has been 100% right, kill first and ask questions after, if ever.
