Obama vs. The New York Times

The New York Times: Reports on the papers Editorial view of the Syrian attacks, the paper states the following, "  In the absence of public understanding or discussion and a coherent plan, the strikes in Syria were a bad decision. "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval must be jumping with joy, it has been attacked by the liberal New York Times, that means its doing something right, also if the NYT is opposed then the right will support the action.   The candidate of 2008 is  not the President in 2014, Yes We Can has become, if you cant beat the Republicans you might as well ACT as a Republican President, in the area of national security.    Thus these attacks on IS in Syria and Iraq is Obama's War, even Bush 43 never attacked Syria, the War will be long, it might take years, and it will need Western special forces to take out IS in the major towns.   One can not see the New Iraqi Army, the Kurds wanting to take out IS in cities were they are not a major ethnic majority, thus the Iraqi Government will have to request that he US help.    That is down the line, there will be days, even months of action from the air.  Lets hope no Western or Arab airplanes are shot down, that would require boots on the ground to get them, that might be tricky in Syria and Iraq. 

The Recall of the UK Parliament Part 2 - New War on Terror

Guardian: Reports " Parliament to be recalled to endorse UK air strikes in Iraq..Opposition leader Ed Miliband has told the PM he will support UK involvement in Iraq, but not at this stage in Syria "

Lets Get Real:

At least the UK will part of the action to take down IS, Syria is complicated by the fact that the West does not want to talk to Assad or get his permission to attack IS, the US informed the Assad Regime of its strikes but did not ask for their approval.   The Labour Leader Ed Miliband has to careful that he does not come off as weak, has to many other presenting problems to get away with that, thus David Cameron should get the RAF in to action and then move on Syria at a later date, the IS group can not be allowed to have protected areas in Syria.   This is will be  long and complicated War, the West and the UK has time to increase it attacks, lets start with Iraq first. 

IS franchise beheads Frenchman - New War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " France has confirmed that an Algerian jihadist group linked to Islamic State (IS) militants has beheaded tourist Herve Gourdel, seized on Sunday. "

Lets Get Real:

The French were being blackmailed, either stop bombing in Iraq or face this result, the French stood firm, you can never talk with these kind of terrorists as stated by President Obama today at the UN.   One can expect more Westerns being taken and other countries come under threat, the West has to stand firm, it can not allow IS to dictate the foreign policy of the West.   There was never a time for talking with IS, there can only be one result, the destruction of IS and its franchise groups.    This will take years, the West better get ready for the long haul, there will be ups and downs, that is WAR. 

The Recall of the UK Parliament - New War on Terror

No 10: Reports the following, " A Downing Street spokesperson said:

The Speaker has agreed to the Prime Minister’s request to recall Parliament this Friday to debate the UK’s response to the request from the Iraqi government for air strikes to support operations against ISIL in Iraq.

The Commons will meet on Friday for a debate on a substantive motion. The Prime Minister will open the debate and the Deputy Prime Minister will close the debate. The Prime Minister has called a meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow at 1pm. "

Lets Get Real: 

The House of Commons should vote for the UK to strike IS targets in Iraq and Syria, the last time the Parliament discussed Syria it blew it, it voted against, that was due to the Iraq War and the failure to find WMD.   IS is a real and current threat to the Middle East and the West, there are no talking with this kind of enemy as President Obama stated at the UN, they only understand force.   The UK is a leader among nations, it does not lead from behind, even the French have started airstrikes before us, time to get in to action, the RAF has the best men and machines, they can help rid the World of IS. 

President Obama at the UN - New War on Terror

The White House: Here are the main points from the speech by POTUS at the UN, "  First, the terrorist group known as ISIL must be degraded and ultimately destroyed.

This group has terrorized all who they come across in Iraq and Syria.  Mothers, sisters, daughters have been subjected to rape as a weapon of war.  Innocent children have been gunned down.  Bodies have been dumped in mass graves.  Religious minorities have been starved to death.  In the most horrific crimes imaginable, innocent human beings have been beheaded, with videos of the atrocity distributed to shock the conscience of the world.

No God condones this terror.  No grievance justifies these actions.  There can be no reasoning -- no negotiation -- with this brand of evil.  The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force.  So the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death. 

In this effort, we do not act alone -- nor do we intend to send U.S. troops to occupy foreign lands.  Instead, we will support Iraqis and Syrians fighting to reclaim their communities.  We will use our military might in a campaign of airstrikes to roll back ISIL.  We will train and equip forces fighting against these terrorists on the ground.  We will work to cut off their financing, and to stop the flow of fighters into and out of the region.  And already, over 40 nations have offered to join this coalition.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UN speech was tough and clear as to the aims and objectives of the US, President Obama was clear that IS is evil, its the type of language used by the great President, Ronald Reagan.   The West know has to destroy IS, it has to have night and day bombing, it has to make sure that the Iraqi Army, the Kurds and the Free Syrian Army use the airstrikes as way to roll back IS, this will take time, might take years, the West can not afford to lose this fight.  Hat off to POTUS, good speech.
