Implications

Iran: (emphasis added)

Obama stood up to the blasts from a number of influential American editorial writers and strategic analysts who urged him to offer Israel a solemn commitment for a pre-emptive American offensive against Iran from the Knesset podium, as a means of holding the Netanyahu government back from military action in the fall of 2012. Another suggestion was for the president to formally notify the US congress of his plans for military action if Iran persisted in speeding the development of ifs nuclear weapon capacity.
Obama rejected both suggestions – and Iran continued to accelerate its advance towards a nuclear weapon undisturbed.
Thursday, diplomats close to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, disclosed that Iran had installed another 1,000 uranium enrichment machines in its fortified underground facility at Fordo, and was expanding its production of 20-percent refined uranium.
Experts not bound by the IAEA’s diplomatic constraints report that enrichment climbed to 30 percent some months ago and was now on the way to 60 percent. At least 3,000 centrifuges were now spinning at Fordo.

Israel recently passed information to Washington that Iran had already developed a radioactive (dirty) bomb.
Yet US official spokesmen keep on intoning that there is still room for diplomacy – even after all the parties admitted that the Six Power talks with Tehran broke down irretrievably weeks ago. And Friday, Aug. 24, seven hours of argument between the IAEA and Iranian representatives failed to dent Iran’s implacable opposition to any reduction in its nuclear drive or the slightest transparency.

Egypt: (emphasis added)

Al Qaeda targets Riyadh, Jeddah and Sderot. Saudi cell had chemicals

Al Qaeda Salafists target kibbutz and IDF post on second day of strikes

A Muslim Brotherhood delegation was in Sinai last week, followed by emissaries of President Mohamed Morsi, among whom were members of the violent Al Gama’a al-Islamiya (which was responsible for assassinating President Anwar al Sadat in 1981).

2 cents: The actions as well as inaction of the CES has enabled both of these boiling pots. What does this reveal about his beliefs?

Diagnosis and prescription

Krauthammer’s article this week is about the growing Iran nuclear issue and the current SOP followed by the CES and the other nations wearily looking on.

I agree with the fourth (added) option which is the president of the USA securing authorization to use the military against Iran if a well defined list of objectives are not met by the Iranian government. However the unfortunate truth of the matter is that our government has ceased to be a working government whose purpose is the well-being of the citizens of the country to that of partisan politicking full-time in hopes of life-long careers in so-called public/civil service. I will refocus the quote and focus of the Joker to repeat that “our national government is in dire need of an enema”. 

Because of the current state of our government, it is in my opinion that any attempt to work with Congress now will produce posing and grand-standing to puff up our current president and that simply can not be allowed to happen. To make him artificially appear a better man than he is – will not do! To last minute create a public persona of strength and values is hogwash and an insult to all the people who are actually ethically moral principle based people.  That man needs to flushed out of our nation’s policy making, removed from the captain’s wheel and ejected from the cockpit (violently if need be). Once that objective is secured THEN approaching Congress in meaningful, real talks to make the legitimate, legal and permanent line in the sand which to hold Iran’s leadership to can be identified and made. Only then will Israel believe that their nation and people’s existence is protected. 

So – let’s get things moving and get the CES out of office so we can begin the necessary CHANGE that our country desperately needs.

 

CES = chief empty suit = current president of the USA

US presidential election and its impact on the Middle East

Two article links that the Drudge Report currently has at the top of his web page deal with Israel’s government and their consideration of attacking Iran’s nuclear sites before the US presidential election. Article 1. Article 2. No real news is shared however the writer’s are being more transparent about what is a significant driver to the Israeli strike decision – the US presidential election.

It appears to me that the greatest thing O the CES could do to ensure that Israel does not strike before the presidential election is to allow Romney to win the election by a wide margin that is quite apparent as October arrives. So Mr. Nobel Peace prize winner (hack, cough, spit); put action to it not just puffery and words – step aside – for peace in the Middle East. Ha!

This timing question is legitimate for the Israeli government to consider. Despite all the swirl around the Iranian nuclear issue I am pretty sure one thing is certain – Israel would much rather it be a US, ally strike on Iran’s nuclear reactors not just a unilateral action on Israel’s part. Yet looking across the ocean over to our national capitol one could not be certain that an US action of such magnitude will actually timely occur. Truth be told, it should have happened at least a couple years ago. Now a strike will be a mere delay and quite possibly too little too late.

I believe Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Barak need to plan today that they will strike the nuclear sites in Iran in October and then hope that the tide of US presidential election is such in October that they will not need to. That would mean a late October or early November 1 or 2 strike.

Dishonorable Disclosure and the mission of OPSEC

 

The CES is an amateur among other things such as narcissist, arrogant and socialist.

The video below is by a new organization of retired and active DOD, special forces, intelligence and similar background personnel trying to put an end to the political, deadly and childish behavior in the White House of leaking classified information for perceived political gain. The organization is called OPSEC and you can join their efforts to stop the leaks and cast a bright light on the stupid, amateurish actions of the CES and his administration.

Remember CES = chief empty suit = current president of the USA

That changes things

Interesting informative article on Ryan.
I am quite pleased with Romney’s selection.

Excerpts:

Ryan, the seven-term representative from Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, speaks quickly, as if the coming collapse might happen in the middle of his remarks if he takes too much time. It’s a bracing message. He is saying, in effect, that the American experiment, our 236 extraordinary years of self-government, is on the verge of failure.

And yet Ryan is smiling. It’s not the phony grin of a politician seeking votes, or the half-smirk of a charlatan putting one over on a group of rubes. It’s a real smile—the eager smile of someone excited to share important news. Paul Ryan believes he has the solution to these problems. And after a long and often lonely fight to convince his fellow Republicans that they should be talking about these issues, Ryan is succeeding.

Brownback says that Ryan is just not a political guy. “It’s all policy to him,” Brownback says. “People don’t appreciate just how much of a policy guy Ryan is and how little of a politician he is.”

“America faces a choice between two fiscal and economic futures,” Ryan wrote in the introduction.

In one, the Federal Government attempts to satisfy the multiple needs of a changing population, in a rapidly changing world, with outdated policies that demand ever-rising levels of public spending. The effort overwhelms the government’s capacities, and smothers the economy under crushing burdens of debt and high taxes. It is a future in which America’s best century is the past century.

The second future calls for a transformation—or more accurately, a restoration of the principles that created America’s freedom and prosperity. It is the path set out in a plan I have developed called A Roadmap for America’s Future.Ryan has already achieved one objective he’d set for himself when he decided to remain in Congress and work on entitlement reform. “My goal was to move the center of gravity in the Republican party on these issues.

It seemed naïve, maybe impossible before he started. His next goal could be characterized the same way. “There’s no way you can actually save this country from a debt crisis, and save the American idea, if you don’t do the kinds of things we’re proposing,” Ryan says. “We’ll see how it ends.”

Rousing speech

Listen – at least one representative in Congress gets it

5:04 minutes

This from Nolte at Breitbart

People can debate whether or not Romney made a diplomatic “gaffe” all they want, but what’s not debatable is that even outside of the world of horserace politics, our collapsing economy is a very serious matter which makes it, you know, newsworthy. The media, however, is showing little to no interest in the fact that over the last few economic quarters our GDP has collapsed from 4.1% to 1.5%.

GDP collapsing from 4.1% growth to 1.5% is free fall.

Three months of job growth under 100k when you need more than twice that number just to keep up with population growth is free fall. Home sales plummeting 8.4% is free fall. Consumer confidence dipping, business inventories increasing, manufacturing contracting, and more people getting disability than jobs, is free fall.

The only way this failed and failing and flailing president can win reelection is to toxify his opponent into someone the public will see as NOT an acceptable alternative to Obama — and this is exactly what the corrupt media is making sure happens by ignoring over 20 million people struggling in their under-employed or unemployed status while keeping its focus on all-things Mitt 24/7.

Even as the economy collapses ands real suffering increases, all the media can do is hysterically amplify every real and perceived mistake Romney makes  and when not doing that, focus intently on the very areas Obama wants the focus on: Romney’s wealth and the fact he’s not releasing more of his taxes than John McCain did.
