The Mid Terms and the Obama Legacy - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

It is not all doom and gloom, Obama is still President, he can make history on the international stage, he has the WARS in Iraq and Syria, then the overall WAR ON TERROR, then we have the presence of ten thousand US troops in Afghanistan, the talks with Iran on its nuclear plans, the ever present threat from Putin's Russia.   Lets start with Iraq and Syria, the US needs ground troops in Syria and Iraq, that is the only way that the US can win, either Obama places troops in these two countries or the World will think that he is not tough enough to wins these wars.   In the War on Terror, the Oval needs to carry on with its drone strikes and the use of Special Forces, it has worked, and this blog has stated so, then we come to the troubling deal with a nuclear Iran, if the deal benefits Iran THE US Congress, both Republicans and Democrats will hit the roof.   Also Israel might strike knowing that the US Congress will support such action.  On Russia the OVAL has to be tough, its a new Cold War 2, weakness in front of the Russian bear will go down badly with Eastern Europe.   As stated Obama can make history or be defined by history, is he strong enough to be tough.
