Obama is Petraeus Puppet

Long War: The African Union just asked the UN Security Council for permission to go to war against the recently created Al-Qaeda nation-state in northern Mali. Bear in mind the African Union Army defeated the conventional forces of Al-Shbab in Somalia, and is in the process of turning that Al-Qaeda franchisee from owner of a jihadist nation-state to a band of homeless terrorists. So the AU Army can defeat Al-Qaeda in Mali if it is given permission and funding.

The AU Army doesn't fight for free. It gets paid to kill bad guys. It wants $200 million to take out the bad guys in Mali. There is no ready source for these funds although France is making timid noise about stepping up to the plate. It is up to the CIA to find the $200 million. If it has to blackmail a French politician, for example, then it must do so. By carefully combing media sources, hints of CIA funding activity directed at the AU Army can be surmised in the days ahead.

Obvious CIA fingerprints are blazing like searchlights in the sudden upsurge in the Free Syria Army's lethal capacity. The good guys, the Syrian rebels that make up the FSA have gone from 90 lbs. weaklings to 300 lbs. karate black belts in a few short weeks, ever since the Iranian anti-nuclear peace talks broke down.

In one day alone last week the FSA killed 80 bad guys (Asssad Syrian soldiers). Last week the FSA destroyed at least 20 bad guy battle tanks. Assad has refused to use helicopter gunships until now because using Syrian air assets in this war invites a Libya style NATO no-fly zone and/or a CIA drone campaign, either one of which could mean Assad loses the war just as Gaddafi lost. So he really doesn't want to mow civilians and rebels down with helicopters. But the FSA has grown so powerful Assad has no choice but to use choppers. Either that or his ground army will have to start retreating under the potential onslaught.

In addition to all of the above we are seeing overall global CIA drone activity increasing dramatically in recent days and we have Administration officials telling Pakistan to pound sand over drone restrictions in the Pak tribal lands. Somebody has taken the muzzle off the attack dog. Somebody has just told CIA Director Petraeus to do whatever he wants.

A couple weeks ago Team Obama held a press conference where the President claimed he personally okayed every target for every drone fired missile everywhere on the planet, like he was running the CIA drone program on an operational basis.

We will hear more of the same from Obama as the election campaign gets under way. There will be top Al-Qaeda leaders killed with drones. Maybe Assad will get killed by a drone. And Obama will make it sound like he personally killed Assad or the Al-Qaeda leader. And the CIA will go along with that. Whether Obama or Romney wins the election will make no difference, Petraeus will manipulate and twist whoever sits in the White House to satisfy his (and the CIA's) objectives.

The creator of the CIA was named Wild Bill Sullivan. When the CIA was reassembled in 1948, Truman made sure that it was exactly like the organization that Wild Bill built, with only one difference, there would be no Wild Bill leading the CIA. Wild Bill was retired because he would instantly have turned Truman into a puppet by digging up dirt on Administration officials.

J. Edgar Hoover successfully employed this method when he ran the FBI, but J. Edgar was a piker compared to Wild Bill. Petraeus may prove over time to be better than either J. Edgar or Wild Bill. That is, if we are lucky.
