LBJ and Obama

The New York Times: Article by US Historian Robert Dallek on the LBJ first hundred days, how like Obama he faced the same problem, War and his Reforming Agenda. In many respects President Obama has it a lot worse, he has Afghanistan, a War the USA is not winning, and the only answer that the Obama White House has, is that Pakistan should be more firm with the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. As stated this will not work, the British at the time of the British Empire had problems, not a region you can control, its a law on to itself. Thus Afghanistan is a long term negative, on Iraq the news is better, the Bush Surge has been a bonus for Obama, the US should be out of Iraq by 2011. The Obama Administration is keeping between thirty five and fifty thousand troops in country in till 2011. It can be postulated that the US and Iraq will make a deal for after 2011. On Iran we have the prospect that it will go nuclear this year, thus either the US or Israel will have to hit Iran before the end of the year. Thus Iraq could blow up again should Iran take a hit from Israel and thus strike the US in Iraq. Thus we could have two hot wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Iran, it has to be considered folks. Also we have North Korea about to launch a missile in April, if that goes wrong, we could see North Korea either launch missile attacks on South Korea or invade the Country. Also North Korea could hit Japan should Japan consider the Missile from North Korea a threat. Also we have the small problem that the economy of the west is in the toilet aka 1930s. Thus as stated Obama has a lot more problems, Vietnam does not look that bad now does it folks. Read of the Day.
