A Truth Journal: Russia: What Is Putin REALLY Doing in Syria?

A Truth Journal: Russia: What Is Putin REALLY Doing in Syria?: From Denny:  You know when Putin is desperate for money - and for international cover - when he comes to the U. S. acting like he is bosom pals with President Obama.  Of course, the real reason he was meeting with Obama - after two years of absence because he was pouting - was to see if Obama was clueless as to what Putin was about to do in Syria.  Putin was satisfied that Obama was indeed unaware and easily fooled.

Putin took that as a sign he could pee on Obama and so he did.  Well, that was stupid because Obama does not forget or forgive easily.  It might take Obama some time for retaliation but he will do something Putin will really fear.

As to Syria you really have to wonder where the hell is the Arab League in this terrorism-civil war drama?  Why is it the Middle East expects and blames the U. S. and the EU for not doing enough to stop Russia?  Seriously?  Why are the Middle Eastern countries not doing enough to stop Russia and IS?  It's their back yard.  Why don't the Middle East countries devise their own no-fly zone?  Why should it be the U. S. and the EU to do their job?  "Da ya think?" it has something to do with Middle East wars are money pits with no good outcome seen for decades?

Just because Putin has recently met with the EU countries about Ukraine doesn't mean a thing.  France and Germany and others seem to be convinced of a deadly strategy:  Let's cater to a psychopathic dictator and not complain about what Putin is doing in Syria at this conference. We will complain outside of this Ukraine conference as France did.  Seriously?  Putin sees the EU as weak and easy to manipulate, a psychopath's dream... A Truth Journal: Russia: What Is Putin REALLY Doing in Syria?

Dennys Global Politics: President Obama Address To The Nation: Destruction of ISIL With Global Coalition

Dennys Global Politics: President Obama Address To The Nation: Destruction of ISIL With Global Coalition: From Denny:  In the next few days a lot of my fellow media are going to dissect - and seriously distort - what this President said here tonight.  Here it is in its entirety, unedited, as released from the White House.  Too much of what our government does or doesn't do gets lost in meaningless debate over skewed opinions rather than the facts on all the talk shows.

Not everyone has the time to sit down and watch the President's speech to the nation late at night when our brains are too tired to take it all in.  Which is why I've taken to putting up the various speeches, statements, executive orders and press briefings' transcripts so the public can easily view the raging debates from the beginning before the distortions start their rumor mills' journey to grab a hold of people's emotions.

Here, the President finally outlines his four part strategy for which he has been so soundly criticized as not having formulated soon enough.  Like lots of people have been mentioning, "Hey, if he doesn't have a strategy yet you sure don't announce it to the press you don't have one.  That misstep started a firestorm.  Tell everyone you are in the process of finalizing said strategy as you create a coalition of partners in this terrorism fight."

Well, this President never was adept at political or visual optics.  At least he and his team finally have nailed down some clarity on this ISIL issue so the nation and the global community know what to do next.  This speech is a good update on what other nations are doing as their part in this coalition.  I chose to bold the text that was most significant.  Take a look at the speech:

A Truth Journal: Check Out Colbert Report Features Indie Band Lake Street Dive

A Truth Journal: Check Out Colbert Report Features Indie Band Lake Street Dive: 3 videos - and interview with band members.

From Denny:
 While Al-Qaeda whines about how other terrorist groups [in addition to them] are fighting each other in Syria and behaving badly, the Colbert Bump is in full swing back here in America.

Oh, come on, Sec. of State Kerry and President Obama, just sit back and wait for all those terrorists coalescing in Syria to thrash it out until there are fewer groups.  Then you send in the drones.  Let these guys do your work for you.

Look at it this way:  Stupid is as stupid does.  Terrorist groups continue to mass in Syria.  Well, we sure know where to find them.  It will be like shooting fish in a barrel.  At least the IC should be tagging and identifying these now easy to find terrorists.

Meanwhile, rather than write yet another political post and yell at the TV news tonight, our house switched over to Colbert Report and found this awesome indie music group.  These folks will definitely benefit from the Colbert Bump.  But, you know what, they have game - and lots of it.

Dennys Global Politics: White House Press Briefing: Trade, Arms Control Treaties, Afghan Corruption, Sochi Olympics, Unemployment: Press Gaggle aboard Air Force One en route WI, 1/30/14: From Denny:  Just so you can see how the press interacts with the White House and how the White House responds on the issues of the day - and unfiltered.  At least this level of transparency has been fulfilled by this President.  His record on the NSA?  Not so good at all.

Another bone to pick with my fellow media:  Why isn't ALL of this news that's being discussed in these White House press briefings getting out to the public?  Morning shows spend way too much time discussing Justin Bieber's hair, clothes and antics to shed his Good Boy image rather than informing about world issues that easily affect our economy, our families' security and our ability to hold long-term and well-paying jobs...

A Truth Journal: Syrian Massacre: What Would Dr. Martin Luther King Do?

From Denny:  What would Dr. Martin Luther King, the famous advocate of non-violence, do about this critical moment in America's history?  Who is manipulating President Obama to remove Assad by violence so someone hidden out of sight can take power?  These are the type of questions no one seems to be asking themselves in the American government.

What if the chemical attacks were done by terrorist groups like the Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood that have infiltrated the Syrian rebels - or infiltrated the Assad regime?  What if those terrorist groups were using the photos of dead children to so enrage the West that America would easily be manipulated into attacking the Assad regime, disabling its most potent weaponry and military might?

The way of a terrorist mind is to figure out how to leverage a position of inferior numbers and an inferior strategic position.  What could be better than to leverage two large powers to go at each other's throats to destroy their credibility in the world - America - and remove a weak Islamic secular government from power - Assad?

Then the terrorists, who have successfully infiltrated most if not all of the rebel groups - rise in the power vacuum when Assad is killed or set aside.  Worst case scenario the terrorists/rebels cannot hold power immediately but manage to abscond with all manner of dangerous weapons for resale on the black market or for use in terrorist operations...

A Truth Journal: Syrian Massacre: Will Russia Step Up To Stop Obama, End The Suffering, Offer Assad Asylum?: From Denny:  While the American public is polling as against military intervention in Syria, the Pentagon and President Obama are busy planning to do it anyway.  They never listen to the will of the people.  A good 60 percent of Americans want nothing to do with war in Syria.  Only a mere nine percent support going into Syria. Who are these people? Must be the Lobbyist Caucus.

Military intervention should be the business of the Arab League with Saudi Arabia perfectly capable of the necessary missile strikes (with over 300 combat aircraft) and other Middle East countries as this is their region of the world.  Even non-member Turkey which is nearby has over 1500 aircraft capable of intervening.  Why not send Israel who would relish the job?  They are the leading military might in the Middle East. That certainly would prove nothing if not interesting...
