Is the FALL of Baghdad Close ? - Middle East Crisis

Telegraph - Iraq Live: Reports in its 5.36pm post the following, " There are reports that fighting between Iraqi and al-Qaeda forces taking place near al-Taji - 15 miles from Baghdad. "

Lets Get Real:

If Iraq falls to Al Qaeda you could see a regional war, the Tehran Regime is helping the Baghdad Regime fight the Al Qaeda terrorists, odd the US and Iran on the same page for once, even Assad has offered to send troops, that is how much of a threat the terrorists are, the worse do not look as bad as these terrorists.   The US and the Oval in special has to ACT, otherwise it might be to late to save Iraq, and the area from tearing itself apart.   The civil, economic and military State of Al Qaeda would be a threat ALL the States, thus this has to be stopped before we as stated a terrorist State with oil money.   An Al Qaeda Iraq could buy the nuclear bomb, yes it is that bad, they could close down oil to the West, yes bad for Western Europe.   This is a crossroads for the West and the Middle East, lets hope the US ACTS. 

The COST of Office - Obama and Bush 43 - The Race for 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports the following on its new poll, " released Thursday indicates a milestone of sorts: Obama is now as unpopular as Bush. Fifty-one percent have an unfavorable view of Bush; 51% feel the same way about Obama.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the price that President Obama is paying for keeping his LEFT happy, has not bothered to form a working alliance with the Republican House and he does not have much time for Democratic Senators on the HILL, that is the problem when you run as something more special than you are, in this he was helped by the US press, they saw the colour of his skin not the man, this blog always so a Chicago pol who go lucky with the US economy in the rubbish bin.    Of course one can hear the cries from the left that this is racist, but in fact the left that is racist, ALL is about race to them, not the content of a character as a wise man once said. The Obama Foreign Policy has made Jimmy Carter look good, that is saying something, the US economy is sluggish to say the least, and ObamaCare is hated, thus why President Obama equals Bush 43 in negative polling. 

The FALL of Baghdad ? - Middle East Crisis

Guardian - Iraq Live: Reports the following in its 5.28pm post, " Jihadi militants, led by Isis, were reported to have advanced close to Baghdad. Residents in the capital stockpiled supplies as Isis were reported to have taken a town 56 miles north of the capital, "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Oval does not have much time, it needs to take firm action or one morning Obama could wake to be told that an Al Qaeda flag is now in Baghdad, and the oil that the West needs is under threat and so in the US economy.    The US Armed Forces have to get back in to the game, air strikes, with fixed wing planes and drones, the whole drone fleet if need be, and then US Special Forces backed up by US troops if the problems gets worse, then Obama might face the hardest choice of his Presidency, send thousands of US troops in to Iraq to clean up the mess he created in 2011 by taking troops out of Iraq.   The clock is ticking Mr President, what will be your choice. 

Obama on Iraq - All Options Open -Middle East Crisis

BBC News: Reports " US President Barack Obama says his government is looking at "all options", including military action, to help Iraq fight Islamists militants. "

Lets Get Real:

It would be the ironies of ironies if Obama is forced to go back in to Iraq, the Candidate who used his opposition to Iraq as his the selling point of his Campaign in 2008 would be forced to accept that he was wrong in 2011 to take US troops out of Iraq.   Well IF the Oval is serious it should consider a major attack on the terrorists in Syria and Iraq, if your left is going to attack you. it is  better go for 100% in, place troops in Iraq, US Special Forces would be the best and air power to attack the terrorists in Syria.   The West can not afford to see the development of an Al Qaeda State in the Middle East, this would be a major threat to ALL the States, even Iran is worried about that, thus this is the time to ACT, the EU is a paper tiger, do not expect any help from them after the Iraq War of 2003.   Thus this is the time for bold measures, time for Obama to be POTUS.

The Threat to Baghdad - The Middle East Crisis

The New York Times: Reports the following, " The militants overran the city of Tikrit, seized facilities in the strategic oil refining town of Baiji, and threatened an important Shiite shrine in Samarra as they moved south toward Baghdad. "

Lets Get Real:

The question that has to be asked by the Oval can it afford to see Al Qaeda in total control of Iraq and a leading force in Syria, this would be a disaster for the Obama Administration and its legacy.   Thus WHAT real options does the Oval have, no ground troops, the US public would not support going back to Iraq, a return by Obama would destroy the Democratic Party, the left would go bonkers and the Republicans would rub their hands with delight.  Thus what can the Oval do, that has a real results, it could use drones, a massive operation to set back the Al Qaeda franchise in Iraq and allow the Iraqi forces to fight back, the question is will the Hamlet of the Oval act, does he have the time, does he have the courage to make that kind of decision. 

The US and Iraq - The Middle East in Crisis

Telegraph: Reports in its 6.29pm post the following, " Breaking from Reuters: US 'stands ready' to provide assistance to Iraq  No detail yet on what that means - but almost certain to be diplomatic and equipment, rather than actual military intervention. "

Lets Get Real:

What is President Obama going to do, make another speech that tells the World that the War on Terror is OVER, that this is not Al Qaeda core at work, that its a franchise, a franchise that could turn to out to be bigger than the original Al Qaeda, and more of a threat, ALL that oil money, and control of new State WITHIN Syria and Iraq.   This is a national security disaster and its down to President Obama, his policy decisions have created this mess, does recall Jimmy Carter.   The US needs a new Ronald Reagan. 

World War One Borders Dissolve in Iraq - Middle East

Guardian: Reports Al Qaeda wants to dissolve WW1 borders, the article notes the following, " Statements released by the group claimed that the assault on Mosul was the beginning of the end of the Sykes Picot agreement - the post-colonial settlement which in 1916 enshrined the nation states of Syria and Lebanon and influenced the drawing of the Jordan and Iraq borders.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and the West HAS to act or it might find that Al Qaeda controls a lot of oil and the money to go nuclear, this is also a threat to the borders of other Countries in the region.  The US should send in US Special Forces and drones to take out this threat, the Oval can not wait for the World to agree, it might be to late.   If Al Qaeda gets the nuclear bomb, or buys one, this would be a threat to the existence  of Israel, thus Israel must be wondering how far it can let this go before having to take action.   The West must and the Oval must get over the fact that the War on Terror is OVER, its not, and if the West is weak there will be more deaths in the Middle East and the West.   Time is running out to take action.
