Delicate Re-Election Cycle Timing of Air War in Syria and/or Iran

President Obama is in the midst of a media development for aggressive military action against Syria. It reminds me a little of bold monkeys or baboons becoming more aggressive little by little until transitioning to swarm for attack.

The broadcast media has developed a perennial war reporting cycle evidently seeking to become embedded with whatever forces are out there in 'resistance' or rebellion to some existing political regime that might need to be changed. In the case of Syria I believe the civilian deaths would not have occurred in significant numbers as they are without media fanning flames of conflict that might lead the Sunni rebels to beleive that the United States would eventually send their 'Condor Legion' to kill the violent chickens of the Syrian Government.

In times past American foreign policy might have been more to tolerate the existence of governments that were not at war with the United States-that policy has some things going for it. Yet President Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize and a gay-friendly military in his arsenal so the Moslem Spring becomes a Moslem Year until the election cycle at least (in the U.S.A. for November 2012) with moral and media support for Sunni regime change organizers, military support and the Condor Legion air war in Libya and perhaps a next venture in Syria. There is also the loosely related problem of regime change in Iran, stopping Iranian nuclear weapons development and the possibility that Israel may act directly to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities and not wait while President Obama makes his political calculations on what more war would do for the price of gasoline and his chance of being re-elected.

The Syrian Government may deserve to become kaput for its unlikable characteristic. I am sure it isn't friendly to the tradition of British Imperialism and hasn't much oil or gas worth the time of the Condor Legion (its fun to use that term for a superior air force attacking 2nd world countries although no intention exists to say that the Obama use of American or European Air Power is fascist). The media monkey chatter for war is seemingly on a schedule that would debauche before November 7, 2012-perhaps about May or June since Senator McCain is already asking for air strikes (why couldn't he have been elected in 2008 so these things could have been accomplished more directly some might wonder-even before many civilians were killed by the Syrian Government?).

There is something to be said for a U.S. foreign policy that neither reinforces nor militarily opposes oppressive foreign governments. Perhaps some of those nations might evolve politically with modern technology and change toward a better way for freeing its people. Britain is critical of Russia and it's past, yet reasonable people understand that Britain has an imperialist past and seeks foreign natural resources to enrich itself-and the Russians seem like the biggest potential resource doners about. Here in Alaska the politicians give away natural resources to foreign corporations generally for a fraction of the value in return for being at the head of the trough of payouts that are made, while some of us may go for years without meaningful employment. Billionaires and global networks can be about as repressive to independent and free enterprise by the non-aristocrats as the Chinese Communist Party leadership that might plunder African resources and use rare species for herbal medicines.

In some respects the world is run by technocrats that can't see the woods for the trees pursuing collectively the global heat death of human prospects-but why worry? The prospects for bringing 'democracy' to Syria loom on the spring or Summer 2012 agenda and a Sunni State from Libya to Turkey might be formed that would allow greater transparency for anti-terrorist intelligence to develop and safeguard the potential development of Sharia law in New York to reverse the homosexual marriage laws and get women to cover their faces with some kind of designer rags in order to reverse over-stimulation of the human section of the biosphere.

I believe that the chess term for Syria is en prise-it is a foe piece just sticking out there waiting to be taken. Then of course as an added bonus Iran is just up the hill and unless it keeps its rhetoric down it might need to have its nuclear ambitions demolished while the demolition is good.

A war before the November election actually would be bad for President Obama's re-election prospects so he may wait until after Nov. 7 to send the Condor Legion or European proxies to obliterate Syrian Air defenses and then liberate Damascus thus freeing up Lebanon from the talons of Syrian puppet masters (not the best quality political rhetoric yet I haven much practice at that anyway). The most likely course of events would be to let it rot (Syria and Iran) and just have the media harangue American ears the rest of the year about the blood and the pathos and a journalist or two killed in action.

Real wages for younger Americans reportedly have declined by 11% compared to wages in the 1970s. The national unemployment rate is about where it was during the Carter administration, and President Obama like President Carter has an Iranian problem-even one a little more serious than the hostage taking of 1979. The Iranian nuclear weapons development program seems ready to pop a bomb or two, and Israel may want to try a go at stopping that.

The electorate may want a better, more effective policy such as can be developed in today's environment of political and economic wrong-headedness. President Obama is not a salesman of any sort, unlike President Reagan. The President seems like a stuffed suit political front-man for economic handlers that is just a time consumer liked by some insiders that are well-off. Mr. Obama does have his blackness going for him to get a few votes from the anti-white set, yet as a spoiler doing more for the economic forces of the ancien regime than to advance a new economic way in the U.S.A. he seems to do more harm to actual economic reformation than good.

The United States has many advocates for despoiling the nation's underground water reserves with fracking chemical to produce natural gas that leaves methane as a residual that is a virulent greenhouse gas worse than carbon dioxide. The nation is full of existential technocrats and corrupt broadcasters keeping the economic paradigm stupid and exclusive of Americans even while illegal aliens pile in to take jobs and demand citizenship.

Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum may have a radicalized situation to address in Syria and Iran when one or the other takes office in January 2014 that Mr. Obama has left behind.
