UK Military Planning for Syria - Syria PT2

Guardian: Reports the following on UK planning for Syria, " ..military chiefs have drawn up contingency plans to provide Syrian rebels with maritime, and possibly air, power in response to a request from David Cameron.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

Lets hope PM David Cameron does not think that Syria is Libya, the Gaddafi Regime is NOT ASSAD, the Assad Regime is getting military support from Iran through Iraqi airspace, both Iran and Russia do not want to see the fall of the Assad Regime,  for Russia its keeping its only warm water port, while for Tehran it keeps it a regional power, they can support their terrorists allies in Gaza and Lebanon, thus a threat to Israel, they can divert attention to Hamas while Tehran runs to get the bomb.  If the West is going to take action in Syria it needs the US at the front, this is one War that Obama can not lead from behind.  The Assad Regime could be close to using its WMDs, then the Oval will have to make a decision, either allow Assad to kill thousands more of his people and threaten Israel and Turkey or take action, this crisis in Syria could define a 2nd Obama term.  EVENTS, EVENTS FOLKS. 

The UK and the Syrian Rebels - Syrian Update

Telegraph: Reports on the UK's Governments latest response to the crisis in Syria, " Britain has taken the lead in intensifying international discussions about aiding and arming Syria's rebels.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

This could be Libya ALL over again folks, the Oval leads from behind while the UK and France take all the PR HEAT, as a strategy its not bad, US power through NATO could be used but then POTUS could say that the leading Countries are the UK and France, while the War through NATO will use American power.   It seems that the Oval does not want to get its hands dirty, good PR but not real leadership, one can not see JFK or Reagan taking such a path.   At the end of the day if the Assad Regime uses chemical weapons it will take US planes and US troops to secure these WMDs this will show if Obama has the backbone to be CinC, it could be the real test of the Political Gods, and they do not play fair. 

Michigan vs. Public Sector Unions

BBC News: Reports that the US State of Michigan has curtailed the power of public sector Unions, they have passed a Right to Work Law, this means that public sector workers do not have to join a Union to get a job. 

Lets Get Real:

This is good news for Michigan and for the Republicans, the more that States curtail the money that Unions get the less these Unions give to the Democratic Party, the US election cycle never ends, the Unions only have power due to the money they give to Candidates in Primary races and in the General Election.  If the Dems do not have the money they can not run good ground games, neither can the Unions.   Thus little wonder that President Obama was against this move, he is not on the ticket in the 2014 Mid Terms, and more important in 2016 the Democratic field is a open race, in less Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enters, then she is the nominee.    It was a mistake by President Obama not to make Hillary Clinton is VP for the 2nd term, then he would have influence down the line, now he wont, the next Democratic Nominee will not be VP Biden.   The Reagan legacy was helped that Bush 41 his VP won in 1988, it was seen as a Reagan third term.   That was the mistake done by POTUS, he has no horse in the 2016 field, who will be his flag carrier.
