ATTACK on Iraq and Syria - Middle East Crisis

The Guardian: Reports the following, " The Obama administration is urgently considering an air assault on Islamic extremists that officials told the Guardian could be directed at targets in Syria as well as Iraq. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog would be VERY shocked if President if Obama attacked the terrorist groups presence in Syria and Iraq.  It would almost be BRAVE, would the Hamlet of the Oval really go that far, to correct past mistakes, the lack of action in Syria to hit Assad really hurt the Obama image, weakness in international politics is the last thing you need,  The question is the blowback, and there will be blowback, once you get in the pit that is the Middle East there are always BAD RESULTS.   The Al Qaeda franchise group could turn its anger at US interests in the area, in might decide to divert its attack to Jordan and Lebanon, that would cause heart burn in Washington D.C.    There are always reactions, lets see if Obama follows through, lets see the results, the Middle East pit always scars any US Administration.   

Hamlet in the Oval - Iraq - Middle East Crisis

Telegraph - Iraq Live: Reports the following in its 5.12pm post, " Mr Obama ruled out sending troops to Iraq. He said that he may order some kind of military action, but that it will not be overnight, and that it is important to ensure that if they do take action, the intelligence is there to make sure it is effective.    He also emphasises once again that US miltary involvement must go hand in hand with Iraqi efforts towards reconciliation. "

Lets Get Real:

This is WHY the Middle East faces a regional WAR, the Hamlet of the Oval is looking for a way to duck taking action, he wants others to give him a reason not to act, the intelligence is not there, the Baghdad Government will not play ball, Iran will do the job, the Al Qaeda franchise groups will stall, the Iraqi Army will actually fight.    Lets see if President Obama really takes action, or could this be another Syria, march the troops up the hill and then take them down, while hundreds and thousands die.  Time for Hamlet to ACT and be POTUS.   The lack of action in Syria has allowed the Al Qaeda franchise group to get better skills, and while Assad has his air force the group was prevented from winning, in Iraq its only now that the Iraqi Government is using its air force, lets hope that will be enough, otherwise the US will have to come in, your either in our out, there is no half measures in the Middle East. 

The Obama Options - Iraq - Middle East in Crisis

BBC News - Iraq Live: Reports in 4.22pm post the following, " Obama administration officials say the president is considering airstrikes using drones or manned aircraft, the Associated Press reports. Other short-term possibilities include more surveillance and intelligence gathering, including satellite coverage, and funds. "

Lets Get Real:

If the US is going to used fixed wing attack planes and drones, it needs spotters on the grounds, this means US Special Forces to direct the attack of the planes, make sure that the US strikes hit the terrorists and not those Iraqi's seeking safety from the Al Qaeda franchise terror group.    The would be that there would be US forces on the ground, just not US troops, its a nice play on words.   One presumes that CIA will be on the ground, looking for targets for the drones and planes.   This is not going to be easy, you have  a government in Baghdad that is full of  Shia supporters, but Iraq needs the Sunni to come on board, after the US left in 2011 the Sunni groups were frozen out of Government, thus the US must keep pressure on Baghdad to run a national government, otherwise a internal Iraq Civil War could go Regional.
