US President announces new approach to Afghanistan

[Guest guest]

Hello list,

 

Here is an important news story, which shows an increasingly stern US President admonishing his Afghanistan counterpart to do more to get the source of terrorism in his country under control. There are also indications that Obama will send fewer troops than his Generals want to this war torn country. This is in line with the prediction made by over one year ago.

 

Obama warns Afghan president: Time for new chapter

Associated Press – Mon Nov 2, 9:32 pm ET

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama greeted Hamid Karzai's election victory with as much admonishment as praise on Monday, pointedly advising America's partner in war he must make more serious efforts to end corruption in Afghanistan's government and prepare his nation to ultimately defend itself. "I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter," Obama said in describing his phone call to the Afghan president. When Karzai offered back assurances, Obama said he told him that "the proof is not going to be in words. It's going to be in deeds." Obama's message of stern solidarity came as he considers sending

tens of thousands more U.S. troops into the war zone in Karzai's country.

Hello list,

 

Here is a new report on the challenges facing President Obama at this time. The influence of transit 6th lord Jupiter is now being fully felt on the natal 2nd lord Sun in the SAMVA USA chart, and exactly as predicted. I put main issues in BOLD and then add in parentheses the related indications in the chart.

 

Obama prepares for week of foreign policy challenges

September 21, 2009 -- Updated 2102 GMT

(CNN) -- Fights over the ECONOMY (2n house and 11th house issues) and HEALTH CARE (6th house) may be dominating the headlines AT HOME, but President Obama is turning his sights abroad this week. PRESIDENT OBAMA (Sun) will tackle TOP FOREIGN POLICY issues (7th house), including the GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS (6th and 7th house), this week. Starting Tuesday, the president is set to tackle a range of thorny international problems with his counterparts at the United Nations, including NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION (6th, 7th and 12th house), CLIMATE CHANGE (4th house), the ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT (7th and 12th house) and the ESCALATING U.S. WAR IN AFGHANISTA (6th, 7th and 12th house). On Thursday, he'll be at a Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he will host a two-day meeting of representatives of the world's largest economies. Issues of FINANCIAL REGULATION

(6th house) and EXECUTIVE PAY (Saturn sub-period) are expected to top the agenda as leaders wrestle with the question of how best to reverse the global economic slide. The meetings come as Obama retains immense personal popularity overseas but is receiving little backing for controversial decisions such as the deployment of additional military forces to battle al Qaeda and Taliban militants. Several European allies also are worried that Obama may not have the political muscle to carry through with new U.S. pledges of cooperation on global warming and other concerns.

Hello list,

 

After the US administration encountered problems in trying to broker peace in the Mid-East, President Obama decided to insert himself into the process to find a peaceful settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians. Needless to say, this long simmering contentious issue is not easy to resolve. Obama will need all his powers of persuasion to get the two sides to agree on some peaceful way forward. It will not be easy.

 

This situation is developing as predicted based on the transit station of Jupiter as 6th lord of conflict which takes place right on top of the 2nd lord Sun in the SAMVA USA chart. The Sun, which is placed in the 7th house of foreign policy, represents the leader of the country. The US President is now becoming directly involved in a major and long standing international conflict. In the attached JPG file we may also note the afflicting aspects to natal Jupiter from MMP Saturn and transit Ketu. The US President is also embroiled in a nasty Health Care debate. There is also pressure on President Obama from his (former) supporters over his decision not to rescind the decision of the Bush administration to keep troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are also concerns he was the first to blink in a stand-off with Russia, when he decided to scrap plans to install a Missile Shield program in the former

satellite states of the Soviet Union, Poland and Czeck Republic. The people there, ever fearful of Russia, feel they have, again, been sold down the river in a game of geo-political chess. In short, there is no dearth of problems besetting the President of the USA, and the tension is seen to continue in the SAMVA USA chart and some more interesting developments are likely.

 

In the Capricorn rising chart of Israel, the transit stationary Jupiter is 12th lord of losses is now conjunct the 2nd lord Saturn in the 7th house of foreign policy. Accordingly, there are strains on the status of the country's international relations. This transit will possibly involve some losses for the country, and these could take the form of concessions on the settlement expansion issue, which is something the religious right in Israel has been adamant about must go on.
