Obama Is Pushing Israel Toward War President

Wall Street Journal - September 15, 2009, 8:57 A.M. ET

Events are fast pushing Israel toward a pre-emptive military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, probably by next spring. That strike could well fail. Or it could succeed at the price of oil at $300 a barrel, a Middle East war, and American servicemen caught in between. So why is the Obama administration doing everything it can to speed the war process along? At July's G-8 summit in Italy, Iran was given a September deadline to start negotiations over its nuclear programs. Last week, Iran gave its answer: No. Instead, what Tehran offered was a five-page document that was the diplomatic equivalent of a giant kiss-off. It begins by lamenting the "ungodly ways of thinking prevailing in global relations" and proceeds to offer comprehensive talks on a variety of subjects: democracy, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, "respect for the rights of nations," and

other areas where Iran is a paragon. Conspicuously absent from the document is any mention of Iran's nuclear program, now at the so-called breakout point, which both Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his boss Ali Khamenei insist is not up for discussion.

Opinion: So far, Obama's failing miserably

Politoco.com | by Jeremy Lott | 9/15/09 6:49 AM EDT

When he ran for president, George W. Bush promised to be a modest reformer at home and a humble representative of the United States on the world stage. The Al Qaeda-organized-and-funded terrorist attacks of eight years ago changed all that. During his presidency, Bush created massive new government bureaucracies, sent troops into two wars and threatened more as part of America’s war on terror.

No we can't? UK think tank says US power is fading

Associated Press | by Raphael G. Satter – 41 mins ago

LONDON – A weakened United States could start retreating from the world stage without help from its allies abroad, an international strategic affairs think tank said Tuesday. The respected London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said President Barack Obama will increasingly have to turn to others for help dealing with the world's problems — in part because he has no alternative. "Domestically Obama may have campaigned on the theme 'yes we can'; internationally he may increasingly have to argue 'no we can't'," the institute said in its annual review of world affairs. The report said the U.S. struggles against insurgent groups in Iraq and Afghanistan had exposed the limits of the country's military muscle, while the near-collapse of the world financial markets sapped the economic base on which that muscle relied. The report also claimed

that the U.S. had lost traction in its efforts to contain Iran's nuclear program and bring peace to the Middle East. "Clearly the U.S. share of 'global power,' however measured, is in decline," the report said.

Hello list members,

 

The pressure on President Obama is increasing at this time. It is interesting note the issues that are on the front burner:

 

- health care (6th house matter),

- war in Afghanistan (6th house of conflict and 7th house of foreign policy) and

- conflict over Irans' nuclear ambitions (6th house and 8th house matters).

Obama says he's expecting 'good health care bill'

AP - Sun Sep 13, 7:00 pm ET

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said he is confident Congress will pass "a good health care bill," as months of rancor over reforming the nation's health care system seemed to be easing Sunday, with the White House playing down an immediate role for a government insurance option. At the same time, Obama was critical of Republican opponents who he said were trying to block an overhaul of the nation's heath care system for political gain.
