Al - Qaeda threat to the Obama Legacy - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports the following from Washington D.C on the latest developments in Iraq, " US fears over Al-Qaeda takeover of key Iraqi cities..President Obama put on the spot as Iraqi security forces and loyalist tribesmen fight to retake Fallujah and Ramadi ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the time for President Obama to let out his Chicago ruthless side, the US can not afford for Syria and Iraq to become a major training ground for Al - Qaeda, the US should send in drones, US special forces and the CIA, all this should be done in secret, keep the US Congress out of it, for POTUS this is about his legacy, if he fails here, ObamaCare will not matter, all historians and the right wing will do is push Middle East down his throat for rest of his life.   Lets recall it took decades for Jimmy Carter to regain some affection by the US voter, his post Presidential work does not make up for his term in Office, but it does balance it out.   The Liberal left of the Democratic Party will never support taking action, but they on the whole do not write the history books, look at what Vietnam did to LBJ, his Great Society was epic, makes ObamaCare look small, but he still has negative ratings with the US voter.  Thus time for Obama to act or face harsh critical review from historians. 

The failure of President Obama in the Middle East - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Report on the bloodshed from  Lebanon, Syria to Iraq, the article notes the following, " the emergence of a post-American Middle East in which no broker has the power, or the will, to contain the region’s sectarian hatreds. ".

Lets Get Real:

The article does not state it but one can only come to one result, the bloodshed in the Middle East is down the foreign policy failure of President Obama, he has allowed the Syrian War to become a religious conflict, it started out as a secular revolt, the lack of action by the Oval over the years has allowed Al - Qaeda to take the lead, the failure to follow through with a military strike after WMD was used has made the allies of the US, from Israel to Saudi Arabia understand that they will have to take action if they want to stop Iran getting the bomb.   President Obama is a smart man, but he does not understand the Middle East, he thinks his words are reality, his words represent someone who has never done a single class in International Politics, being a Harvard Graduate in Law does not cut it, Obama is clueless, he has made is Secretary of State look like a fool, marching the troops up the hill then walking them down over Syria.   The bloodshed in the Middle East will get worse, large parts of Iraq and Syria could come under Al - Qaeda control, this could further the religious conflict between Saudia Arabia and Iran.    The Israeli Government will need to strike Iran this year, a war is coming, it just depends when, that is the fault of a clueless President. 

Target Fallujah - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports the following from Iraq, " ..the Iraqi government said it had lost control of the key city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. ".

Lets Get Real:

The US should use its drone force to take out Al - Qaeda in Fallujah, also it you should consider using its special forces to help the Iraqi Government, the issue is not only the security of Iraq its how the US is perceived, if Obama loses the peace in Iraq the US allies in the region will consider they are alone, thus Israel and Saudi Arabia will join forces to strike Iran before it gets the bomb.    The results of such a strike could drag the US in to a regional war, it does not matter what POTUS wants, it what happens on the ground that matters.   The failure of the Obama policy in the Middle East could cause a regional war that could return the West in to recession.   Thus POTUS has to see the real world, before the real world knocks at his door, and the Oval has no choice but to send troops back in to Iraq.
