Strange to me but it seems since his Inauguration, there has been little mention of Iraq, outside of the occasional statements made by Secretary Gates or the anticipated troop withdrawals Obama ran his campaign on. No more images even on the great cathode ray tube. When Bush was in office, seems that is all we read, heard and saw.
This says a few thing to me. First our media may be liberal in perspective and doesn’t desire to remind folks that yep, we are still involved in a brutal occupation In Iraq – even under the current administration. Second, that the media is not designed nor does it have a preference for informing the public via news. Last, it reinforces why I have to read newspapers from around the world, other than US papers, conservative or Liberal to get some objective information. I first noticed this when the day before his historic inauguration, no papers nor news stations showed or talked about Israel massive bombings of innocent folks, mostly kids in the Gaza strip (pics here).
If you didn’t know, April was the deadliest month in seven months with respct to US fatalities in Iraq. In fact the civilian death toll has also been steadily increasing . On April 29, 2009 in a news conference President Barack Obama was asked if recent violence in Iraq would affect his timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops. Strange thing was that same day three car bombs killed at least 51 people in markets in Baghdad. Although Obama answered by saying that we have not “ seen the kinds of huge spikes that you were seeing for a time” and that “the political system is holding and functioning in Iraq." True the number of deaths is not as great as it was in 2007 and 2008 the same time period, but the Iraq's government says that 435 civilians were killed in April, which means the count is likely to be greater than that reported. This by my math represents almost an 40% increase since March.
This is very disturbing because it as if since the number of deaths is lower from the past year that it makes it acceptable, putting in the context of the current President. Even stranger is that during his campaign his mantra was that “the war should have never been fought . But turned around on February 27, while addressing US troops at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina he said the US military “have fought against tyranny and disorder."
After just over 100 days in office, the current Administration is considering reversing course by leaving U.S. troops in Iraq, which makes me think , like all politicians, saying what the folks want to hear is all that count for following up on such actions are not as important as getting elected. But I understand that politics is a big old game. The real deal is that we seem not to be even able to trust our media to give us the real deal. And things may be getting just ready to hit the fan the way the Taliban is putting down and with these new images that the President has said he will not release to the public. Again I had to go to a foreign sources to see 16 of the 44 pics. But in the big picture the war, and folks dying in Iraq, political lies and the like are not as important as American Idol results, Mike Vick getting out of jail, Rihanna and Drake hooking up or Nas and his woman. So make no never mind about me. I guess no news is good news.

For the record, I actually wrote this the same day I wrote the previous post. And as well many of you know that I frequent the subject’s of Asia (the middle east and Israel) and assorted topics. While running for President, Obama indicated that he would continue to be supportive of Israel in the same manner of prior administrations. Strange this is that the current agreement on the table via the Annapolis accord suggest a two state solution. However, from a historical perspective this implies that he would not attempt to force a two state solution on the Zionist government nor will he be willing to negotiate with presupposed terrorist.
But this aint gonna really work since Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Israel's viewpoint in a satellite broadcast to attendees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC, America's pro-Israeli lobby) annual conference. When Obama addressed the same group before his election, in Chicago last March, Mr. Obama spoke of "a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy” and that the US “must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs.
From the way I see it, this is contra to a two state solution for such support would only help Israel maintain its military edge over all those in the Gaza area. For the Idea of a two states solution is endorsed by most of the world. Although Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn’t speak of such and only says that he does not desire to govern the Palestinians. Not to mention in order to do such, it would require for Israel to stop expanding settlements in the West bank/ Gaza regions. But this won’t happen because the number of Jewish settlers on the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) is almost 300,000.
In Memphis we got an old saying, scared say ya scared. Its ontological disposition describes actions in the form of being hesitant often always evince uncertainty. The prime Minister don’ and likely won’t talk about ending settlements or a two state solution. This means that He and Obama got to bump heads. And remember, former president George W Bush also wanted two states and the folks we give all them tanks and planes to said ok – but didn’t. So did Secretary of state Condoleeza Rice – but the didn’t. Obama is going to have to have King Kong size testicles if he plans to push this because as they prepare to meet – new settlements are going up now. He needs to tell them what they are "illegal outposts" set up without formal government permission.
So my advice to you Mr. President is not to fall for the okie doke, for we know they will talk all day about Iran, and nuclear weapons, but won’t mention the settlements and a Palestinian state. Truth is to do such would mean that more than 200,000 settlers would have to be removed. Question is does Obama or is Obama willing to carry a big stick and talk loudly? I have my opinion you tell me yours.

I don't want too have too many days and nights like last night or mornings like this one!
It's time to throw the question open to the panel. I don't claim to be a saint. That's not what democratic republican capitalism is about. But it certainly isn't about UNITED FRUIT.
The (gender-neutral) boys are scared today. They've been scared for three weeks now. President Obama has answered half of the questions. There are none so blind as those that will not see. The "New Democratic" United States Of America is not a social democratic paradise. It is a dying empire whose last Emperor happens to have some charm and sex appeal. That's it. What is so f**kin hard to understand? How much evidence do people need? How much "time" is supposed to go by before he takes off his false face and reveals the true mask beneath? What for f**k's sake does "give him a chance" mean?
Here are the answers to half the questions: fiscal and monetary insanity and government growth beyond comprehension, no help for the poor, working-class, middle-class, small businessperson, entrepreneur nor especially not THE VETERAN, escalation in South Asia, continued war in Iraq, continued Zionism, the re-re-think on GITMO back to the Bush/Cheney concept, the "war on drugs," the only nation without single-payer health care, the only nation that incarcerates children with adults, the top of the league tables in executions in both relative and absolute terms, the anti-Mexico wall, USAPATRIOT2, REALID, confiscatory gun laws and taxation, the 3-card Monte of The Nanny State, and the affirmation of government position on "decency" standards in media. End of story. Those are half the questions. Asked and answered. Obama has told us where he stands. In George W. Bush's footprints.
Let's move on.
Let's get down to the bargaining table because appealling to a dictator's better angels is not the way to go. It's a waste of everyone's time. Barack Obama, but, oddly enough, for Nancy Pelosi's efforts would be a dictator.
Every other cohort has its own series of remaining questions. I and mine have a bunch. I can, however, read the writing on the wall and would like to keep it simple. Here we go. Here's the question: On behalf of the EU and non-affiliated European nations, on behalf of South Africa, on behalf of the FSU, on behalf of the Channel Islands, on behalf of Cyprus, on behalf of the UAE, on behalf of Macau, on behalf of the Caribbean, and on behalf of Central and South America...WHAT DOES EVERYONE HERE ON THE HELLAC PANEL BELIEVE IT WILL COST TO GET BARACK OBAMA (not the Wingnuts) TO BACK THE F**K UP?
Simple question. Complicated to answer. Let's answer it with a money figure, a territory figure, a commodity figure, a real property figure, a debt forgiveness figure or some combination thereof.
My suggestion would be to start by getting the USA, PRC, Saudi Arabia, the current Executives Of The EU, APAC (not AIPAC!), OPEC, pan South Asia, and MERCOSUR together in Belgium at The Hague and begin asking in the presence of those that could well take that man and put him away for 25 years. Let's just talk to start. How much?
Everyone's going to the mattresses and the barricades otherwise. Everyone. I've lived in and done business in too many countries now in which the question was ALWAYS "how are the Americans and their bullsh*t laws going to f**k us?"
What do experts think Obama would accept in exchange for getting together with Congress and formally turning the USA into a self-contained republic?
Don't tell me about Wall Street or various constituent American sub-groups. At 69% approval, 61 seats in the Senate and a House majority this is down to a guy my age who -- hero or putz -- couldn't get within 30 points of the only real progressive he ever faced in a campaign, Bobby Rush.
The representative from the INTERNATIONAL non-partisan business community yields the balance of his time.
