Keukasmallies Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It’s no secret that President Obama is in Florida this weekend to play some golf, but don’t expect any reports about his golf game. For whatever reason, the White House declared a news lid just as the president was about to tee off. Rather than head back to their hotel 15 miles away, however, the press pool voted instead to take shelter in a maintenance shed so as to remain somewhat close to the president. Reporters refuse Obama's dismissal from golf course, are sent to the 'shed'In its latest attempt to shut down media coverage, the White House Saturday dismissed reporters to their Florida hotel by declaring a news "lid" even though President Obama was just beginning his golf game — but the press pool voted to stay. After a two hour flight, Obama motorcaded to the posh Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City to play a round and also stay. {snip} The trip will cost taxpayers $843,508 in airfare alone. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/reporters-refuse-obamas-dismissal-from-golf-course-are-sent-to-the-shed/article/2562204#.VRcTlIH8Zuk.twitter . So, as the general public has been "sent to the woodshed" by POTUS in Oh, so many ways; now the press is literally relegated to the woodshed. Pro'lly a woodshed with open walls given POTUS' pledge of transparency, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Interesting thing no one seems to have twigged to yet is the Shiite militia taking over Yemen with Iranian backing, presenting a direct threat to Saudi Arabia, at the same time negotiations are coming to a head.

truth on hold Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Interesting thing no one seems to have twigged to yet is the Shiite militia taking over Yemen with Iranian backing, presenting a direct threat to Saudi Arabia, at the same time negotiations are coming to a head. the Shiite Houthis (sp?) were the only ones capable of defeating Al Qaeda in Yemen. So why are we helping Saudis fight them? They represent no threat to us, and are doing exactly what we tried with drones. Saudis always try to walk this fine line of tacitly supporting Al Qeada/ISIS to get them to do their dirty work in other parts of the mideast, and when they get too good at it, they sit back while the US is stuck fighting them. We've seen this play out too many times ... Saudis will beat back Shiites and demolish most of the country's infrastructure, and when they leave there will be a vacuum which Al Qaeda/ISIS will quickly move in to fill, which the Saudis wont do a thing about ... then it will be time for the US once again stuck with cleaning up the mess Edited March 30, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake is supporting the saudi-led coalition on another sectarian mission. Did you see the Saudi delegates presenting to the Arab league on this?

Magox Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) The more and more I see what's happening in the middle east, the more that my thoughts on the region are evolving. Our mission in the middle east should be to protect our own direct interests, period. Help prop up governments that support us, take out terrorists who are a direct threat to us and do everything in your power to stop a nuclear arms race in a region dominated by religious sociopaths. No more nation building or taking out of dictators. If you take out a brutal dictator, vacuums get filled by these nutballs. Unless you are prepared to invest hundreds of billions of dollars, risk the lives of American troops and dedicate decades of time and effort to stabilize the country, then stay the F*ck out. And with the way our political system is set up, we can't ever make that guarantee. The American public's emotions sways like a leaf in the wind. One year they believe we should be a bunch of interventionists, politicians run on that mantle and we elect them in. The politician follows through on the policy that he was elected on and then we intervene. Once the public becomes war weary, which they always do, then the pressure is on to withdraw, a new politician runs on withdrawing and scaling back US interventionism and voilaaa, he gets elected and withdraws and then of course chaos breaks loose creates vacuums and then they get filled. This is going to continue to be a rinse and repeat scenario if things don't change. And to be honest, it's not going to be politicians who change this mentality it has to come from the U.S electorate. Considering that over half our society is more interested in Social media and pop culture than substantive matters, well......Good luck with that.

Of those three, the third is least likely but most favorable, as the first two represent the WORST NEGOTIATING TACTIC EVER. It's a damn good thing this idiot was never president.

Washington’s Al Qaeda Ally Now Leading ISIS in Libya By Eric Draitser Global Research, March 10, 2015 The revelations that US ally Abdelhakim Belhadj is now leading ISIS in Libya should come as no surprise to those who have followed US policy in that country, and throughout the region. It illustrates for the umpteenth time that Washington has provided aid and comfort to precisely those forces it claims to be fighting around the world. According to recent reports, Abdelhakim Belhadj has now firmly ensconced himself as the organizational commander of the ISIS presence inside Libya. The information comes from an unnamed US intelligence official who has confirmed that Belhadj is supporting and coordinating the efforts of the ISIS training centers in eastern Libya around the city of Derna, an area long known as a hotbed of jihadi militancy. http://www.globalresearch.ca/washingtons-al-qaeda-ally-now-leading-isis-in-libya/5435574 Sen.

DC Tom Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 OH, OF COURSE NOT: State Department: No consequences for missing Iran deal deadline. Deadlines, Red Lines — consequences not an issue. So they created as self-imposed deadline for getting a deal done with Iran? But since it's self-imposed, there's no consequences to missing it? Uh...yeah, there's consequences. It allows the Iranian government to shout from the rooftops that the US government isn't interested in striking a deal, since they missed the deadline. What's more, the self-imposed deadline hands them the opportunity to claim a major geopolitical victory by claiming either the US walked away from the table, or is just stringing things out as a delaying tactic. They created an artificial deadline that gave up all control of the negotiations to Iran? !@#$ing amateur hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
