VOTE NO Scotland - The Future of the UK


Lets Get Real:

One thing about the SCOTS, they like it real with no BS, well its time to tell Scotland, they will not have the pound, the Queen either, that London will block any Scottish request to join EU, NATO, even at the UN.  It might not just be London, Spain has it own internal problems and does not want to give the green light for votes in its regions.   The major business companies should put the fear of God in to the different generations of Scots, hike in prices, double to pay for the BBC, pensions and benefits would be cut, why should the rest of the UK pay for the Scots to go it alone.  Lets freeze their kilts with the harsh cold truth and logic, you either for US and that means ALL, or your on your own, and your neither regions will feel the cold of being alone with NO Queen, No Pound, No Benefits.   That is keeping it real. 

2016 IN 2014 - The race for Iowa - 2016 Race

Lets Get Real:
It's early to Crown the nominee for the Democrats and the Republicans, one can say that the nomination is there for Hillary Clinton to lose, and lets recall she was the fav in 2008 and lost to President Obama and later became his Secretary of State in the first term.   The fact that she choose to accept the post goes down well with Democrats, the problem is her record at State, the restart with Russia that didn't work in fact it has become down right frosty, she could not get Obama to arm the secular Syrian rebels in the first term, thus the New War on Terror by Obama.  Then we come to the American deaths in Libya and her stating that the attack was due to a video on the net.   The Republicans will try build a picture that Clinton is to close to Obama, that it would be the Obama 3rd term, the Clintons, that is Bill and Hillary want another 3rd term for the Clintons.    Thus Hillary will have to get some distance between her and Obama, but without it causing problems for them with the liberal base, not as easy at it sounds.   On the Republican side this blog is supporting Jeb Bush, its all about the First Families in the US election cycle. 

Obama the Hawk on Foreign Policy - 2nd Term Blues

"

Lets Get Real:

Well the dove of the last five and half years has become more a hawk, but lets not forget that under President Obama the US had taken down the Al Qaeda of 9/11 by the use of drones, and all decision for hits goes all the way to the Oval Office.  In many ways Obama is like President Kennedy, JFK used covert means to reach his objectives, the Obama Oval has no problem is using drones to kill people, the NSA to spy on the rest of the World, the problem Obama has and JFK didn't have was that Kennedy was not afraid to use ground troops, thus the increase in military advisors to Southern Vietnam, it could be argued that Obama is getting troops back INTO Iraq by calling them advisors, the difference is that Kennedy's military advisors fought with the Army of South Vietnam, one does not see the Obama Oval allowing his military advisors to fight with the Kurds and the new Iraq Army.   Time could change the Obama Oval, let's see if Obama allows his men to fight IS. 

How many fighters does IS have - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

If the above is TRUE then the Oval has to hit IS hard in Syria and Iraq, the West must be concerned that these fighters with Western passports will return home and bring the IS War to Western Europe.   The Oval has to be bold, forget the legal approach to terrorism, just kill IS fighters and let them rot in the sands of Iraq and Syria.   The last two and half years of the Obama Presidency will be graded by the action taken by the Oval when it comes to Syria and Iraq, its a WAR, no matter the diplomatic language of Secretary Kerry, its WAR that the US can not lose, if THE Oval is weak then the entire West is under the IS threat, take out the cancer now, do not wait in till it kills more innocent people. 

The New War on Terror by President Obama - 2nd Term Blues








...Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL.  And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions.  But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.  This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.  This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.  And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year:  to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order. "

Lets Get Real:

The Speech was good last night, tough and realistic as stated in my tweet, the problem is that you have to have  boots on the ground to win WARS, the sole use of airpower without trained troops adds years to the WAR.    Also what will be the reaction of IS to THIS war on them, the Oval can not control what Putin does, it has not chance with IS.   What if there are more beheadings LIVE on the internet, the US voter is ahead of the Oval on this issue, if Obama lead he could get approval from the Congress for ground troops, its going to happen, one way or another, Obama is not ready to take that step, well events can force the Oval to change its view, the rise of IS had done that, if not for the beheadings one doubts that Obama would have gone for this air strategy, the result of this WAR will be the legacy of the Obama Oval.
