Obama is Cowardly But Intelligent

Long War: There are only two countries that have genuine overseas military empires: America and Iran. America has about 10,000 overseas military bases and if we count Iran's proxies (such as Hezbollah) then it has about 200. It is fair to say that America's empire is fifty times stronger and larger than Iran's. And yet America can still lose to its much weaker opponent because America is subject to cowardliness in its top leadership.

Iran is now admitting that it is sending special forces soldiers to fight for its imperial puppet, Assad, in the Syrian Civil War. America also has special forces soldiers fighting in this war, although it does not admit to this fact. The two empires are at war with each other.

America cannot let Iran get away with such direct support of Assad or the global capitalist structure will suffer. The answer is a no-fly-zone. Recently Turkey has said forcefully that a buffer zone must be created within Syria for refugees escaping Assad. Hillary Clinton and her State Department are backing Turkey's efforts to create a buffer zone. This is step one toward creating a no-fly-zone. If the buffer zone materializes, then the no-fly-zone will be right behind (a good thing).

Hillary is dragging Obama forward on the no-fly-zone even though the President is kicking, screaming, and pulling out his hair like a spoiled brat. Probably Petraeus is pressuring the President as well.

The CIA can hammer Obama by pointing to its recent monster victories in Afpak with the killing of the top Haqqani leader and top Pak Taliban leader. This will help pressure Obama. It looks like the two top bad guys did indeed choke on hellfire missiles as reported in my last blog because the Taliban is going berserk. Both the Pak Taliban and the Afghan Taliban are on a psychotic beheading campaign, lopping off the heads of anybody and everybody that they can get their hands on. This crazed behavior tells us that the bad guys are deeply frightened. At least some of the bad guy's protectors within the ISI (Pak intelligence) have turned and now support the CIA. Petraeus must have really turned the screws on them.

So the global war rages on. It is being fought in the distant battlefields of the Islamic world and inside the mind of the cowardly but highly intelligent President of the United States. We need to win in both arenas.
