Obama Administration SPLIT over Syria - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Reports the following from the Obama White House, " ..a sharply divided Obama administration on Thursday began weighing potential military responses to President Bashar al-Assad’s forces. ".

Lets Get Real:

Well folks if this blog is reading this article you can be sure that the Assad Regime will be reading it with joy, Obama as stated in previous posts is following a ritual, he says something must be done, needs more information, talks about UN ACTION, then NOTHING.   The OCD President, the split in the Obama Administration recalls when President Kennedy came back in August 1963 and found his Administration was falling apart over Vietnam; in that case it was to late, at Deputy level the Kennedy Administration had given the okay for the Generals in South Vietnam to get rid of the Government; lets hope the Oval has better control of the diplomatic cables.   Thus folks after a few days since the use of WMD, what has the West done, NOTHING, it will do NOTHING, that is what you get when you elect a Harvard lawyer as President, does recall President Wilson, he was slow in to WW1 and messed up the ending.   Those that will suffer in the days,weeks, months ahead will be the poor people of Syria. 

Russia and Syria - Syria Crisis 2

Telegraph: Reports the following from Moscow, " Russia calls on Assad to allow inspectors ".

Lets Get Real: 

It is not what Russia is saying in public that worries this blog, it is what Moscow is telling Assad in private is the most concern, the Russians will support Assad as long as they can, they need their warm water port, the Russians have confirmed that WMD has been used in Syria, but they blame the Syrian Opposition, they want the West to think that the it was home made WMD that caused the hundreds of deaths, yes folks they are spinning even what they do not think is true.   It can be postulated that Assad will delay for days or even weeks any UN Inspectors looking at the areas that came under attack, the Regime will want to clear way any evidence of an attack by their side.   Thus folks Assad WINS again, sad day for Syria, the West and most of all OUR humanity. 

UK on Assad Chemical Attack - Syrian Crisis

Guardian: Reports the policy of the UK Government to the latest massacre in Syria, " Assad regime responsible for Syrian chemical attack, says UK government ".

Lets Get Real:

This could be Libya 2011 ALL over again folks, the UK and France take the lead, the PR side of any operation while the US leads from behind.   The American Era of leadership is really over if the OLD Imperial Powers have to solve the problems of the Middle East, very much a return to the future folks.  The question is will the UK and France take action without UN approval after Iraq, can the UK Coalition Government go on if the Conservative PM decides to take action, there are internal and external risks should UK and France take action, Syria is not Libya, they are backed by Russia and Iran, if UK is in so is the US, there are only so many bridges Obama can burn when it comes to Foreign Policy, thus folks we shall see who has the morale and political backbone to take action in Syria. 

Obama's OCD over Syria - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports that President Obama has stated that the allegation that the Assad Regime had used chemical weapons on its own people was a " BIG EVENT OF GRAVE CONCERN ". 

Lets Get Real:

The Oval is showing traits of OCD folks, one aspect of OCD is following a ritual, with the Oval its first concern, then it wants evidence, then it wants to go to the UN, of course then Russia vetoes any action.  The Oval returns to the start of the ritual, it has done this before, the Oval stated that it had a red line when it came to the use of WMD in Syria, when it was forced to admit that Syria had used WMD it did NOTHING, now the Assad Regime has gone for a bigger attack, and the Oval is following its ritual, as this blog has done Roman History one starts to think of Obama as a very infamous Roman Pro Consul who washed his hands and allowed the mob; the mob in Obama's case is Russia and China; to kill an innocent man and allow a bad man to get away.  If the murder of innocent children by the use of WMD does not get the Oval to move we have a morale bankrupt President.  A leader who is so weak that he allows the UN and Russia to dictate US Foreign Policy, who will allow thousands of men, women and children to be killed for over two and half years by a murderous Regime, what next, will Obama allow Assad to wipe out entire towns with WMD.    This is a sad day for the US and the West folks.  SHAME ON THE OVAL.  Let history never forget that Obama washed his hands and other people died.
