Presidential Surprises!
By: DAn Bunch
The President of the United States of America is about to speak today at about Ten O’clock.
About, I type, depending on your time zone, your television stations attitude, and your local changing in moving your time forward or backwards one hour. Sort of Complicated isn’t it? Well, that is not the only thing that is complicated!
I will be surprised if the President does announce a pull out, or a date for a pull out of troops from Iraq! That may astound you, but then, I ain’t kidding you here!
The facts is that Ms. Rice has traveled about the area of the Middle East carrying a message. One that is similar in tone to the one given that “OK’d” the first Iraq - Kuwait war! An American spokeswoman gave a “hands-off” speech one day that led Iraq think America would stay out of any insurgency!
They were wrong.
But now, Ms. Rice is about to acknowledge the likely-hood of our standing down from any Syrian attack upon Israel! Now you have to know that is awesome in its very seriousness!
Syria has given voice to the planning of attack against Israel during the past months. This is now augmented by the finishing of the oil pipeline that our present struggle was all about! A pipeline that can, as was told to me, be used to channel oil to the port in Turkey. But amazingly enough, it can be used to cause oil to flow in the other direction! That is; from Turkey to the terminus.
Oil refineries are being built within the area south of and in “Georgia” that will have the ability to supply oil to the West, but also it will supply oil to other countries around and past Iraq. This pipeline was the real fact of the going to war! The war was not over oil. It was over rights-of-way!
Now, when the President speaks, what would I expect? No surprises here, as I have already outlined the coming war plans in other articles!
I expect;
No announcement of a solid date of withdrawal from Iraq.
A step up in people joining the military services is way slow for effective war preparations, So I expect a “limited draft” of males and females from the civilian populace. But selection by professional and education. In other words, blue collar workers, farm hands, and such are “safe” to a point. But doctors, surgeons, linguists, material handlers, and electronics and computer systems professionals are going to be primary targets for the military!
I expect saber-rattling by the President in the case of Northern Korea, to mix you up and keep your eye and brain off the real subject; the dividing up of this country by those that would. In case you have not believed such reports before, you can look for a major policy announcement today. But it will only be “brushed” past the canvas. So you will have to look and listen carefully to see it!
What else can a “lame-duck” give in a sudden announced press opportunity in the Oval Office? Your guess should be as good as mine. I would guess he would give a “Presidential nod” to the coming American Union, and in his program to “graft new Mexican citizens” into our overburdened societal vineyard. The Mexican debate isn’t! It is a done deal. You are about to keep your social security by the paying for it in new tax-payers contributions! It is, sadly, the only way to “balance the books”, so to speak. As the money has been stolen by your representatives to launch and build their own small projects, of which their constituencies wanted done.
Too bad! This great country was once.
