Obama's Conundrum
Breaking News:
The CIA is helping train rebels in Libya and support NATO no-fly zones and anti-Gadhafi targeted bombing.
Are the CIA agents unarmed?
President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron of the UK are not sure they want to go as far as President Sarkozy of France who wants to arm the Libyan rebels.
How can the rebels succeed with limited training and antiquated weapons against Gadhafi who is armed to the teeth with up-to-date weapons sold to him by the big powers?
China, Russia and Iran sit hypocritically on the sidelines ready to benefit whatever way the action goes.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel is the first backlash victim of the rebellion for sitting on the sidelines and refusing to endorse NATO action against Gadhafi. The Greens and Socialists trounced her party in recent by-elections forcing her to realign her alliances to retain power if she can.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said the U.S. is not ready to declare against President Assad of Syria or the Bahraini government despite their crackdowns and murder of demonstrators.
President Salal of Yeman, ever co-operative with the U.S., is being forced to leave office leaving a massive power void.
Israel wants to invade anywhere claiming they see Al-Qaida everywhere and continues its ruthless killing of Palestinians and annexing their homes (dead or alive).
They have inspired the U.S.' most brutish citizens into frenzied Islamaphobia.
The neocons, right-wing Republicans, Christian Evangelicals and military-industrial-security-oil (MISO) corporations are tightly connected to Israel's ruling Likud party.
They are all waging a massive lobbying effort to force the U.S. to attack Syria enroute to their ultimate target - Iran.
How can the over-extended U. S. economy support all the wars, occupations and military bases (over 800 across the world)?
We are already sacrificing support for our more strategically important space program and domestic programs which help suffering Americans.
Instead the money is channelled to war and oil/gas energy (instead of developing alternative energy).
A responsible President must put statesmanship and the best interests of the U.S. ahead of his re-election.
He needs to reign in the out-of-control financial hucksters and the neocon/neoliberal hawks in order for America to live according to its Constitution and the moral and ethical values of its people.
Oddly enough, doing just that - the hardest things - would probably ensure re-election by landslide.
But does the President get it?
