You break it You own IT - Iraq - Middle East

Telegraph - Iraq Live: Reports the following in a interesting post at 9.20am this morning, " Senate Intelligence Chairman Dianne Feinstein: The Maliki government, candidly, has got to go if you want any reconciliation....White House spokesman Jay Carney: Whether it's the current prime minister or another leader, we will aggressively attempt to impress upon that leader the absolute necessity of rejecting sectarian governance. "

Lets get Real:

It seems that the Senate and the White House Press Secretary are following the Presidential line that the Iraqi PM has to reform or else, the else being go, how can the Iraqi Government be sovereign if with a snap of his hands the US President can decide who should be the PM.   This  is a massive blunder by the Oval, what if the PM goes and they hate replacement, in essence the Vietnam War after the fall of Diem become America's war, with various South Vietnam Governments in the background, while the US tried to defeat the forces of North Vietnam and failed in the long term.    The Obama Oval can not refuse to bomb after if starts if it finds some policy it does not like, that would make the Baghdad Government a puppet of the US, its better to leave the present PM in, so if things do go wrong, then the US voter and the International Community can put a face to the problem, no face and its the face of the Oval that will get the critical reaction. 

Maliki OUT ? Another Diem Mistake - Middle East

Guardian:  Reports the following remarks by US Secretary of State John Kerry, " In that NBC interview Kerry also insisted the US was not seeking to prop up the Maliki government. "

Lets Get Real:

The Guardian reports that the US has demanded that the PM Maliki goes as a price for the US to take action, that would be a mistake for the US and Iraq, lets recall JFK and the Kennedy Administration  gave the green light for the overthrow of Diem in 1963,  after Diem was assassinated in November the Vietnam War became America's War, if the US is seen to force out the Iraqi PM then the fate of Iraq belongs to the US again, if your break something you own it, so the US afte getting out of Iraq 2011 would be deciding who the next Government will be, what if the Ovla does  not llike that one, can it just snap its fingers and get any Iraqi Government it wants, its better to leave the impression that the Iraqi Government is its own master, even if the truth is that the US controls events.   Lets hope the Oval gets some wiser minds for national security discussions. 

Obama does not need Congress WHEN it comes to Iraq - Middle East

BBC News: Reports " US President Barack Obama has told Congressional leaders he does not need lawmakers' approval for any action in Iraq, the top Senate Republican says. "

Lets Get Real:

It is odd how President Obama finds his backbone when telling off Congress but can not stand up to Iran, Syria and other threats to US national security, the Oval  must know understand that the lack of action in Syria really hurt the Obama Presidency, the Guardian has reported that the Oval might order strikes on terrorist targets in Iraq and Syria, the question is how will the US planes spot the terrorists, they will need spotters, that means troops on the ground, well to be more specific, US Special Forces and the CIA.   The more the US goes back in to Iraq the harder it will be to get out, the Democratic left will start to protest, this could become a major row between the Oval and those running in 2016.  Interesting times within the Democratic Party.
