The Reluctant Trigger Finger - Obama and OBL

Daily Mail: Reports that President Obama vetoed three missions to kill the head of Al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden before being pushed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to give the kill order.

Lets Get Real:

Lets see if the liberal main stream media in the US picks up this story, as it is negative about POTUS do not hold your breath. The US Media on the whole with the exception of Fox News bought in to the Obama Campaign in 2008. They can not afford to be shown to be wrong about their choice, thus in the mind of the media Obama is still the man who was firm in the killing of OBL, they will not want to show a weak leader who was forced in to action by a woman, and a Clinton at that, it would be to much for them, they would have a break down, a real one folks. Thus the real POTUS is on show, lets hope Syria is not reading the Mail.

Obama and Syria - Syrian Update

Guardian: Reports the following on the President Obama's Syrian policy, " Seeking re-election in November, Obama has been reluctant to get the United States involved in another war in the Middle East, even refusing to arm rebels... ".

Lets Get Real:

After the Iraq War folks, and in many respects the Libyan War the left wing elite media will never support another War, they would rather see people die that see the West take Colonial action in their view of the world. Even if Israel was under threat form WMD's of the Assad Regime the main stream media would rather see Israel burn before the West takes action in Syria or Iran. Thus Israel might have to go it alone, this would force POTUS to back Israel, as Israel would have all the cards before November. After November and should POTUS win re-election there will be no electoral limits on him, he could appease Iran with its nuclear plans at the expense of Israel, not likely but do you trust Obama, that is the question being asked in Israel. Simple question would you trust Obama if your life was at stake, that harsh but true folks.

Obama and Iran - Iran Crisis

Telegraph: Has an interesting commentary article on why President Obama has to explain to the US voter why the US might attack Iran in the near future, the article notes the following reluctance by POTUS, " ..could depress turnout among a Democratic base that I suspect strongly disagrees. ".

Lets Get Real:

The election in November folks is seen as a base election, in other words the Democrats and Republicans are more interested in getting their own voters to the polls than those in the middle. Thus the Oval has a problem, if it starts the War Drums over Iran now it might lose in November, or Israel might strike anyway, there is a great chance that the Israeli Government will hit Iran just before November, forcing the Oval to support such a strike and follow an Israeli strike with a US hit to finish the job. In many respects the Oval is in the hands of Israel, very much like 1981 and 2007, when Israel hit Iraq and Syria. Also the Republican ticket is going for the Jewish voters who tend to support the Democrats, the fact that POTUS has not visited Israel since coming in to Office has been noticed folks. Thus this clock is moving folks, it might not be in the press every day, but this crisis will happen, its just a matter of seconds in the great scheme of time.

Obama and Syria - Syrian Update

BBC News: Reports that President Obama has warned Syria that any movement or use of chemical weapons would lead to US action in Syria.

Lets Get Real:

Folks if you think POTUS would take action in Syria then this blog has a bridge on Mars it can sell you, the left in the US would go bonkers if Obama used American forces in Syria, they were not happy with US leading from behind in Libya and the fall of Gaddafi. This is trying to show that POTUS is a foreign policy hawk, the problem might arise should Assad of Syria call the bluff of the Oval. What if the Assad Regime gives WMD's to its terrorists allies in the region, hard to prove a Court, and the liberal left wing Media would want that after Iraq. The Oval just wants the Syrian Civil War to stay at its present level, and not drag in Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, or GOD forbid Israel. Lets get real here folks, the Syrian Defence Forces could fight back, this would not be Libya, the US and its allies would take some losses. Thus lets hope this political position does not come back to haunt the Oval.
