RE: Afghanistan the Graveyard of Supper Powers

Job done in Afghanistan/Pakistan. One bin Laden is no more. Mission Accomplished......as GWB would say.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

So let us talk about the Cyber thingee some.

It was a Russian anti virus group....Kaspersky Labs....according one tech man I have talked has one of the best anti virus program out there....that found the Flame and Stuxnet bugs that were in the Iranian nuclear materials processing computers.

Now...it seems Kapersky is saying that they found key code identical in both.....

Back in 2010...in a Congressional hearing on Stuxnet.....they said it appeared that the US and Israeli had jointly developed the potent virus. But they also said that Russia, China, UK and France might have done it. So the hearing was inconclusive to the responsible party.

ABC inquired into 5 US government agencies asking if they had done the virusing....none would talk.

Now enter the White House......and senior Obama officials. Only two weeks ago Sect of Defense Penetta said 'Cyberattack were going to be the next Pearl Harbor.' The DoD said a 'Cyber attack was considered a
'act of war'.

So?

One of the question in the Washington is....if we bugged up the Iranian computers.....did we commit a 'act of war' on Iran? One has to admit, it was not a kiss.....kiss But now did the Obama administration go again to Congress to ask for that declaration of war....er...bugging. Not that has the Senators and Congressmen T-off.

But what is angering the US Senators and Congressmen is this. The White House admitted to doing the Stuxnet bugging of the Iranian systems to a New York Times reporter. By confirming publically in a on the record statement ....that the US had such cyber warfare skills.....National Security was compromised.

What if nation X needed the Stuxnet bug in the future? Nation X is doing really bad computer thingees and needs a little down time on the net. Now National X knows that the US uses Stuxnet and will pack their computers with Kapersky anti virus programs that catches Stuxnet. Plain and simple the Obama administration...weaken the US cyber warfare abilities.

Not only that.,....

Now you have a pissed off Iran. That has the US as the big bug maker that clogged and gunked up their computers. What if Iran....says two can play that game.....maybe Chase's 3b dollar lose is now in a Iranian bank buying terrorist weapons? Again....because the Obama administration does not take National Security seriously.

Mr. President...what if....in ticking off all these parties with such a direct admission....these parties decide to play games with our nuclear launch codes that you have in the football? instead of the missile that is suppose to go to nation x, when you decide to fry nation x....when launched it goes to nation US of A? Or when you order a launch to defend the country.....it goes puff......

Yes, a small National Security problem has been made by telling the world we did it.....

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

No, I am in the right thread. To Americans....Iran and Syria are linked issues. That silly bi latoral defense pact they have......links them like kissin cousins.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

In a recent multi party meeting of the National Dialogue Conference in Lebanon to discuss issues that Syria violence ....the parties agreed that a "stand away along the Syrian border" should be considered in the future. This to reduce the weapons moving from Lebanon to strife torn Syria. I think that this is some kind of land obstacling program for the Lebanon/Syrian border.

With 15 death in Lebanon attributed to the Syrian pro and anti Assad groups fights....the National Dialogue member are attempting to find ways to keep Lebanon from more violence. A good thing, in my opinion.

But with Assad's reputation at a all time low in the region. Another interesting development is happening. Seems in the past Assad had enough influence on the National Dialogue Conference to keep any mention of Syria arms to Hezbollah being a tabled. But since the region considers him worthy of being a target for shoes....))......

Assad has lost this ability to block tabled issues. Meaning that now members are pressing to have discussed the arming of Hezbollah by Syria. The head of Hezbollah, Nasarallah , seeing Saudi Arabia taking the place of Syria in the talks. Indeed Suadi Arabia called for this week's National Dialoque Conference and Nasarallah encouraged all to attend.

So seems that Assad is losing power and prestigue in the region faster than some one can pull off a shoe......

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

On June 20th, the house committee on Government oversight and reform will vote to hold AG Holder 'in contempt of Congress' regarding the
Fast and Furious gun program. With REP in control of the committee and AG Holder still holding 95% of the document on the failed sceem to scare Hispanic into the United States......

the vote will go against AG Holder.

Of course to Dude this it totally unfair. AG Holder is a honorable man that has truly represented the country in legal matters to a high standard.

Well the House represents 'the people of the country'. When you dodge and rope a dope them on selling weapons to a drug cartels and get a
border agent killed.....the people want to know why.

AG Holder has not been able in the months since the story went public to explain it. This in bi weekly hearing meetings attended. This when he had over 100,000 document to the program, to bring forward in explanation. So the AG is falling on his sword for the President......

so time to send him the first of the recently ordered hari kari blades.....

little children and the faint of heart....please turn away. From here on out this gets messy.

Sure anarchist groups are against conservative and REP....that I totally agree with you on. But they are also against mid road DEM and DEM in power.....Gabby Gifford and Jarel Lougnher....the Anonmyous group that was going to fire bomb Obama's headquarter in Chicago....the German that burning down liberal and rich Hollywood..

Face it Dude....Anonymous is against government. Anarchists hate government. The hate both sides of the political spectrum. They act against both side of the political spectrum to cause fear and insecurity in a country.

It is just this Administration is so liberal. It winks winks at the criminal acts of anarchist. It could of kept those Anonymous out of the Chicago NATO Conference....just as easily as soccer holligans in Europe are kept from a soccer match.

But it did not.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Who is a 'real citizen'? A hispanic north of the border for 6 months?
Should he vote?

Don't they purge European voter roles of deceased? Of imprisoned criminals? Of the insane? Or illegals that entered the country without
passport and identification? I am sure they do.

Why do you receive a voter registeration number? If a person passes away, show not the number be stricken from the role? And not be allowed to vote? In checking into this. Most European countries mail out new registeration just prior to a election. So the role has been purged then.....with this new mailing.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

"The notion that my administration would purposely release classified national security information is offensive." a recent Quote from President Obama.

So the questions are.....

How did media learn of the joint Israeli/US cyber attack on Iran?
How did the procedures for drone attacks become public?
How did the existence of a double agent within the ranks of alQeada in Yemen become known?
How did we learn of the President 'kill list' of suspected Islamic terrorist?
How did Private Manning penetrate US Military security for such a period to gain so many 1000s of classified document for wikileaks?
How did SEAL TEAM 6 become a household word following the bin Laden raid of 2011?

Those are just a few of the "How did" questions of National Security Classified materials that have been made public or released on the net in the last 3 years of the President's term.

One could add in...Dr. Aflridi....the reentry speeds of US warhead to the Russia offer...Dr. Hassan's political correct treatment that kept him in the military as a Jhadist....the placement of Muslims into high level security related offices of NASA....

Clearly somewhere at the top of our Government, a significant leak of classified materials is ocurring. Is it in the White House as a mean to bolster the President re-election campaign? Or being done by military officers and CIA staffer trying to undermine the administration? Or both?

Senator of both parties have requested a independent prosecutor with syponea powers to investigate the security breaches. What they got was less than that. What they got was two FED attroneys, likely with deep case loads that are going to use a FBI investigation to look into the security cracks.

But still out there....is the SEAL TEAM 6 investigation...still stonewalled somewhere in the FBI investigative process. So again the key fact finding agency into National Security breaches will be the
FBI.

Still out there is the Private Manning investigation because his military court trial.

Still out there is the Major Hasan investigation because of his military court trail.

Because they are locked away for legal purposes, they likely will not
included in this Senate and Congressional hearings. So with only 5 month to the election. The REP will want to bring the finding of the security hearings to the public attention. But will sitting DEM stall the hearings?

Will the Obama administration slow up the Private Manning and Major Hasan trials to keep them out of the findings? Will the SEAL TEAM 6 investigation come out before the November election?

Another question is. Often these leaks went to very friendly journalist of the Obama administration. One would say 'liberal journalist. Will these liberal journalist give up their leak source in Congressional hearing or in FBI questioning? Here you have another can of worms.

That is freedom of press and the right to protect sources. But another way to stonewall the hearings...just as AG Holder has stonewalled the Fast and Furious hearing.

I have used the word...'stonewalled' so much in this post, that
you can see what I expect to happen in these new hearings and investigations of the Obama administration. This is the administration of the great stonewall. Not of Stonewall Jackson fame. But of evasion and deception.

In stonewalling the American people....the American people have every right to be offended as well.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

It is so simple Dude. If they are not a US citizen, then they don't have a right to vote. Or do they have the rights of the Constitution extended to them.

The GOP Governors are cleaning the voter registries prior to the US 2012 election of deceased, relocated, imprisoned, falsified and other illegal voters. What is wrong with that?

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

---
Law biding citizens need guns to protect themselves from the criminals that Obama is letting into the country. Did he try to stop any of the Anonymous group from coming in? And don't tell me that the FEDs don't know. They can hack and attack Iranian website and nuclear productions site. Hack into alQeada sites in Yemen. So they can get the list of Anonymous members, Place them on the travel watch list.

It is all a question of priority. Both groups will kill Americans. One for radical Islamic ideologic reasons. The other for radical left anarchist reasons. One is close to Obama's heart. The other is not so close. We are talking about a man that was member of the New Party...a radical left wing ideologue group. He covered his tracks....told every one he was a moderate....and people bought it in 2008. Today he has been outed. But he is not going to protect the country from far left hate groups.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

The good DR...did us all a very big favor at a very big risk to his and his families lives. They say he is not even safe in prison. That Taliban have men inside that have been given lengthy prison sentences. They want him dead as a door nail.

How Penetta could leave him in play....after planning the bin Laden raid for at least 6 months...shows they either mis planned it or they wanted the Dr caught and gone. The only reason there is the $27m reward for bin Laden that he could claim. From what I can see. But there is another reason. You simply don't want intell on alQeada leaders.

Look....the Obama administration just placed a $33m bounty on 7 of the alQeada leaders in Yemen. Now I ask you. Say you have good intell on any of the 7 and can make contact with the US.....to turn them in...but you also know what just happened to the good DR in Pakistan that flipped on bin Laden. Would you make the phone call to turn them in?

So this is a test. If they get some payable intell....they know the good Dr did not work in killing tips. If they don't get any intell on the 7, after making a bigger bounty than they had on bin Laden (his was 27m). They can say the war on terrorism is cooling and we won.....get it?

These 7 are small fish. You got Omar Muhammed and al-Zharwiri in Pakistan. You got bin Laden's four sons in Iran. All of them are higher on the alQeada food chain than these 7. Am not even sure the Yemeni bomb maker is on the list of 7. He is the real threat. With his underwear bombs.

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

Musharreff? He is locked out of Pakistan. They (the Pakistani) red flagged his passport, from what I understand. So he is locked out of the country.

LOL........he has dual citizenship and dual passports. So to lock him down, you got to get both flagged......seems he is still in England and watching the Queen's Jubilee....))...so someone got to his UK passport as well....I can say no more....))

But having him come back into Pakistan was only going to destabilize the country further.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

I am saying that you are Irish. That you have some say with the Irish government likely. Even Ireland can make....and does sponsors UN Resolutions. A UN resolution has to have a sponsoring country.

I have expertise that my government uses. If I said otherwise it would be lie. I am of the out power party. So do I have total knowledge of the White House plans or seen maps for the middle east? No.

I am trying to point out that Russia is your key to getting Syrian peace. That is why I have repeated it so many times. But you will only have window of opportunity on Russian Peace Keepers in Syria for so long.

Putin is already starting to distance himself from Assad. Peace keeping works along as they are close. Putin just asked for a 'meeting of nations' to discuss Syria. Also he does not want any sanction placed on it during the meeting. He has now said the Yemen plan for Assad ot leave is OK with Russia. Even if Assad leaves, this country is headed into civil war and will need peace keepers. JMO.

This meeting of the nations, is Putin's way of by-passing the UN. He know that the UN is in a position to put Russia in this rock and hard place in regards to Syria. So he makes this meeting outside of the UN. One can say that is eating your cake and ice cream at the same time. But the reason he does not want sanctions....is they cut into Assad's ability to pay for Russian military goods and weapons. And they can limit what Russia sends to Syria.

I think that you have the populations composition of Syria wrong. According to the CIA Country fact book it is the following.

Sunni..........74%
Shia and Alawite............16%
Christian...........10%
Jewish and other religions.....less than 1%

Est Population is 22,520,000 in 2012......that is full 6m more that was in Iraq in 2002. Keep it mind. We barely managed 16.6m Iraqi with a 150,000 US force deployment. Annan needs 200,000 peace keepers for Syria.

If that population breakdown is correct. How Assad could get a the recent majority vote on the Syrian constitution with only 16% of the country (Shia and Alawite).

Here are the numbers of recent Syrian Constitution vote.

14.5m are eligdible to vote in Syria
7.49m (89%) voted for the new Constitution
753,000 (9%) voted against the new Constitution
They had a protest vote of blank ballots
of 132,000 (1.3%)

Even Hillary Clinton called this vote a "travesty". No way could Assad get the Sunni 74% majority to vote for his Constitution in such numbers. After 7 months of civil war. No way.

So you have major government corruption inside Syria protecting Assad. Keeping him in power. So sure Putin wants a Yemen plan for another vote. It will be like this one. But it will stop the civil war. This Constitution vote did not. It only gave it fuel.


PS I am not CIA...but I do use their reference materials. It is some of the best.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

Regarding Libya.

You have to look at the positives in life. Regarding Libya. Qdaffi is gone. The mess was already there before the first US cruise missile struck a Libyan target. Just like the mess is in Syria right now.
And the USA did not place many....I admit there were a few....boots on the ground in Libya.

So it can be done.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

I am not claiming superior knowledge. I come to these threads with a open mind and desire to learn. That so I can write a better report to those in the US government that consider my thoughts to have merit.

I have freely offered my advise. Supported my positions with third party sources. You seem to get riled and take it personally....over it. Why? I don't know.

Had you begun to seek Russian peace keeper when first presented. You might have a Russian decision to the concept by now. They might be rushing to Syria to calm the violence as I write. But clearly you did not.

So don't lay this on me or my country. Assad is a surrogate of Iran and Russia is his military supplier. Assad runs the Bathe' party of Syria, a single party government. Just like Sadam Hussien did. Funny how Iran can work with one Bathe party leader and not the other.

So Russia is getting rich off the blood of Sunni that Assad is killing and displacing. Iran is getting a diversion for its developing nuclear programs.

If the US places one boot in Syria, it is one less military option for Iran. I quote the President of the United States here..."All military options are on the table for Iran."

So do a smiley with Putin to get Annan's peace keepers. They had a parade for him in Damascus the other day. So Russians will be welcomed there. By 1/4 of the country. The other 3/4's might not see it that way. They might have something other than smiley faces for the Russians.

Also.....if Russia does Peace keep in Syria. There is a European benefit. Russia cannot invade anymore small countries, in my opinion.
Meaning those small eastern block countries are safe from a Russian aggression. Like what happened in Georgia, a few year ago. Putin will not have the military manpower for such aggression.

There is a US benefit as well. With eastern Europe safe from Russian aggression. We can re-deploy our 3rd ID and 3rd Armor from Germany. And many other US units as well. Just more US military options for Iran.

So I am placing the cards on the table here. So you can see all the benefits to a Russian peace keeping in Syria. Are you?

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

I quote a recent article on displaced persons in Syria. This coming from Red Cross Spokeswoman Hickham Hissan

"We have from 200,000 to 400,000 that are internally displaced. We have 95,000 refugees in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan."

But oh no....ethnic cleansing is not occurring in Syria.

The Sunni are just running across borders to avoid higher Syrian taxes...))

Iseek, really until you get a handle on what is happening in Syria, you will be clueless on how to stop it. Ethnic Cleansing is certainly happening in Syria. The world just does not want to call it that, yet.

So read back on my posts some.

Who predicted UN observers were in a dangerous position of being sniped and fired on?
Who said it was because Assad let them into the country in thin skinned vehicles?
Who predicted ethnic cleansing was happening?
Who told you why it was happening?
Who predicted that Sunni villages were the targets?
Who said having a border fence on the Lebanon/Syrian border would help?
Why it was not there after Irish/French had peace keep for 15 years in Lebanon?

This is not rocket science. Predicting what a Assad or a Hussien or a Amhmenajada will do in a given situation is not that hard. Just pick the worse thing possible for humanity and you got it.

But hey trying to get US Forces to Peace Keep in Syria.....is going to be harder than the best rocket science known to man.

That is not to say that the US does not have military abilities that can contribute to a humantarin relief effort in Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey for the displaced Syrians. That it does not have military abilities to help in Syria. We can set up a Med blockade of the Syrian port were much the military gear comes in. What do you think of that?

We are just not going to put boots on the ground for you. So go talk to the Russians. They are already there. I am not going to have US forces squaring off with Russian forces in Syria. We try to avoid WWIII
situations when possible. Unlike the Russian that rushed into Pristina in the Kosovo conflict with a armor brigade from Hungary. Running around in the same MIL vehicles as the Serbs.....almost got them killed. That would have been a major international incident, yes?

This is coming from a WH advisor that two weeks prior to the Libyan No Fly zone being ordered....advised the WH "a No fly zone by USAF and USNAVY air units and containing of Libyan air defense from a deployment of US Naval forces was a viable military mission."

Here is the article on displaced Syrians. It is at the bottom of the piece. Enjoy the read.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

In month it will be easy to see the ethnic cleansing going on in Syria.
Just get some real sat imagery of the Baka hills inside the Lebanon border and find the Sunni camps that are being made.

Till then.....well if you tell me it not happening.....I will take your word on it. But if I get the sat images in month and we see the Sunni camps and they become a 'world issue'. What are you going to say then?

Having analysis and assessed the situation. As advisor to my government and military. In all good conscience, I cannot support a US Peace Keeping deployment to Syria. So I am not going to make any recommendation to place US Peace Keeping forces into Syria, at this time. In fact just opposite. I will soon write up a recommendation to avoid a US force deployment to Syria at all possible cost. I have given the reasons.

Assad sucked your UN peace keeper in to be sitting ducks in thin skinned vehicles so they could be controlled with snipers. We will not deploy in such manner.

They are part of his diversion to Iranian nuclear developments. Those are a greater National Security interest to us than events in Syria.

Go ask the Russians. They have made billions from the Syrian in weapons sales. Time to give a little back......

RE: Obama or Romney? That is the Question!

A recent quote from President Obama....."The private sector is doing fine."

But the having tested the water (public opinion) to see he could get away with the flip in position. And found the waters to hot.....as
twitters, media and public opinion castigated him.

He came back .............."No there is still much work to be done on the economy."

Can I say Saul Alvinsky at this point? "Tell them anything to get and stay elected." People write this off as his inexperience or a error of speech. It is not. It was a straight statement, said without any question, distraction or pressure. This is the man that 'words matter'.

He attempted to see if he could swing the economy to his favor. Had the twitter, media and public opinion been supportive, he could continue to put the statement out and build off of it.

It did not go far. Twitter, media and public opinion drove him back to the earlier positions.....that there is still much work to be done.

Ok fine. Nice try. Let us write it off as a slip of the tongue most will say. But pundits and politicos know a test message when they hear one. This time, he was caught.

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

The most recent atrocity occurred on a Sunni farming village that was surrounded by Alawite villages and towns....according to a report I read. The village was left 'barren'.

But if you tell me that ethnic cleansing not going on and it just is the Syrians in a big disagreement....who I am to say different? Not really my problem. I have other fish to fry.....

But with the UN observers being fired on ...I take some interest. Brothers at arms and all that, you know. Well, how many countries want to place their forces into a situation of peace keeping when they have armor piercing bullets coming at them.....when in thin skinned vehicles. Let us not think that Aasad forced them into those thin skinned vehicles on purpose to later fire armor piercing rounds at them.

The United States has been here and done that. We (The US Military )is not anxious to be targets for Syrian snipers (unknown as they might be at this time) under a UN mandate and UN command.

I still say your best source of Peace keepers is Russia. Russia still says it will veto any security council vote. So make Russia responsible
for the country and its security. That takes a UN General Assembly resolution. And some arm twisting.....

RE: Why Not fully back Kofi Annan and give peace a chance in Syria

Reports here are that another Syrian (Sunni) atrocity has happened and that the UN Peace Keeper enroute to investigate it were fired on. That they were engaged with armor penetrating rounds. This to penetrate those Honda SUV and their body armor.

I doubt if the Syrian Freedom Army has armor penetrating rounds. They are more costly than the normal rounds. Syrian Freedom Army likely
does not have the funds for them. But maybe.

In my opinion, the UN peace keeper engagement was likely done by Assad's Army or Militias.

But anyways....just to show you that this a diversion to the world media and public opinion on Iranian nuclear issues.......

Today Iran's Ahmenajada said he doubts anything will happen in the coming Moscow P5+1 meeting. But it only got small coverage, because of the Syrian atrocity and UN Peace Keeper engagement.

The media only has so much inches of new print and only so much of air time in a day. When a big story like a atrocity occurs....a lot gets used to cover it. Iran can then back door in a statement on the Nuclear negotiations that falls into the back of paper or gets 15 seconds in a new report.

So twist Putin's arm ...........send in Russian Peace keeper under UN officers.
