Yes the world is asking Mr. President, what 'is' the foreign policy of the American government for those countries (and people) in the Middle East & Northern Africa? This administration that touts how they ended the war in Iraq and yet, it is just 'not' so, also states that all is well in the Middle East and Northern Africa all because of 'their' work. I see just the opposite and yet, the main stream media keeps touting the Barry line of "All is well with the world".
Why did we go into Libya and take Muammar Gaddafi out of power in the first place, how has it helped us Americans? Was it so Barry could show he is 'the' man and America is strong with 'his' leadership? Was it because Muammar Gaddafi posed a threat to 'us' Americans? Yes, I also have question about the night Americans cried out for help in Benghazi Libya and yet, no one was there to answer the 'red' phone as Americans were being murdered. So many questions swirl around the country of Libya, that has ceased to be answered by this administration.
On September 11, 2012 Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods lives were cut short by an Al Qaeda affiliate group 'imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman brigades' in Benghazi Libya and Barry & Co. were no where to be found for those in need.
Were Barry & Co. in the situation room assessing the situation, was he going on (another) campaign fundraiser, no one seems to know. It is a shame when 'our' (We the People) employees will not answer to us when asked, because I promise you, a lot of us are asking.
I will give you information on what went wrong in Libya, before, during and after these needless deaths another time. There is so much more we do know and yet so many more questions unanswered from this inept (to say the least) administration and their lack of concern for those crying out for help in Benghazi Libya during the
September 11, 2012 'terrorist' attack. It is taking time to sort out truth from fiction is all.
Why Gaddafi?
I mean, I am not saying by no means Muammar Gaddafi was a good'ol chap and all but, he was getting older, his was not what he used to be. After our troops went into Iraq and had done a miraculous job of taking that country over and getting Saddam Hussein & his henchmen, Gaddafi caved to the United States and to the world. As Gaddafi denounced his weapons of mass destruction and nuclear programs. As we know, Gaddafi still had
some weapons and mustard gas.
Gaddafi helped keep the terrorist at bay, to a point, I admit. He thumbed his noses at the radical Muslim extremist as he placed women out in front for the world to see, in his military and as his personal guards. Tight uniforms, gorgeous and full make up, yet soldier all the way.
What I am saying is, during the Arab spring that started in December of 2010, did we not see other dictators also taking aim at their citizens and killing them. Most of these dictators are/were not even as close to being one of our allies as Gaddafi was in that region at this time, so why Gaddafi?
This Made Me go Hmmm
On October 20, 2011 Barry (Obama) stood in the Rose Garden at the whitehouse and informed us that Muammar Gaddafi was dead. As I read this part of Barry's speech, I had one of those, ah-ha moments.
Barry: "Our skilled diplomats have helped to lead an unprecedented global response, our brave pilots have flown in Libya's skies, our Sailors have provided support off Libya's shores, and our leadership at NATO has helped guide our coalition," he said "Without putting a single U.S. service member on the ground , we achieved our objectives, and NATO mission will soon come to an end."
"This effort shows the strength of American leadership," the president said.
"We've taken al-Qaida leaders, and we've put them on the path to defeat," he said.
"we're winding down the war in Iraq, and have begun a transition in Afghanistan. And now, [working with friends and allies in Libya], we've demonstrated what collective action can achieve in the 21 st century."

Barry tells us that al Qaeda is on the run and yet with my own eyes, I see this is just not true. I also feel by taking out Gaddafi, we have just opened Pandora's box. With the Muslim Brotherhood taking charge in Egypt also in the mix,
well yes we (with the help of some allies?) have that box 'wide' open.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
September 11, 2012...
Protest had broken out all over the Middle East & Northen Africa. Members of al Qaeda were scaling the walls in Cairo Egypt and were even able to place a al Qaeda flag on our embassy, taking ours down.
I saw it with my own eyes and yet, we were being told by this administration that all this hatred thrown at the USA is was caused by a YouTube video that put down the Islamic faith.
I saw something different, it was the
terrorist making all this noise, as they 'always' do. I thought, what has this inept administration done now.
While I was watching the chaos go down around the Middle East & Northern Africa on television, I knew right then and there that it was al Qaeda and not about this stupid video. I find that most folks of the Middle East & Northern Africa are good people and are just working the grind, to provide for their families everyday, just like we do.
They were no more aware of this video than we were. They also just want to practice their own religion and allow you to practice yours. Also, the majority of people are 'smart enough' to know what one says about your beliefs means nothing, it is what is in your heart & good deeds that matters.
Just like when the hubby prays to 'his' lawn mower God, it does not take away from my beliefs, it does not sway me towards his beliefs, nor does it make me want to go out and attack a single person. Just because Dan mocked my beliefs of it being only one 'true' God, I can respect the fact that this might be 'his' belief. Dan just wants his lawn mower to run, once again. It means nothing to me, just as that YouTube video meant nothing to the majority of those that follow the Islamist faith, just the radicals!
We must not forget that President-elect Barack Hussein Obama's appointed chief of staff Rahm Emanuel uttered these words during an interview while appearing on 'The wall street journal':
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is, an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.". Was the Arab spring the crisis that could present this administration opportunity to do what they could not otherwise do?
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
1+1= 2
Now folks, I am not a crazy loon but, when you see things adding up, you must heed the warning that not 'all' things can be a coincidence, now can it. Let us back up a bit...
In 2002, we were still having a problem with Saddam Hussein: Through the U.N. Security Counsel (led by the United States) posed sanction after sanction on Saddam Hussein and yet, it did nothing to stop Saddam Hussein and his cronies from doing what they wanted to do. Russia and France were playing kissy face with Saddam, through the (failed) oil for food program and I am sure China was working it also. The Clinton administration were touting that Saddam still had WMD's and needed to go.
Good'ol Joe even stated on many of occasions (SFRC meetings & Hearings) that Saddam was a threat to our country and needed to go. Joe goes as far as squashing the idea that the George W. Bush administration 'did' get it 'wrong' about Saddam's arsenal. Biden has helped Barry & Co. spread this 'lie' about President Bush of, 'Bush lied to go to war' and yet, he said just the opposite back in 2007.
This man is a liar, I will not sugar coat it, he is a downright liar, dammit!
Did Joe say Cheney was right, well yes he did.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
Biden told us "I mean what I say."
Meet The Press Transcript for April 29, 2007: Meet the candidate: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del
Mr. Russert: I want to go back to
2002, because it's important as to what people were saying then and what the American people are hearing. Here's Joe Biden about Saddam Hussein: "He's a long term threat and a short tern threat to our national security."
"We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world."
"He must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power." You were emphatic about that.
Sen. Biden: That's right,
and I was correct about that. He must be, in fact- and remember the weapons we were talking about. I also said on your show that's part of what I said, but not all of what I meant. What I also said on your show at the time was that I did not think he had weaponized his material, but he did have.
When, when the inspectors left after Saddam kicked them out, there was a cataloguing at the United Nations saying he had X tones of, X amount of, and they listed various materials he had. The big issue, remember, on the show we talked about, was whether he had weaponized them. Remember you asked me about those flights that were taking place in Southern Iraq, where -were they spraying anthrax?
And, you know, what would happen? And, you know, so on and so forth. And I pointed out to you that they had not developed that capacity at all.
But he did have stockpiles everywhere.
Mr. Russert: Where are they?
Mr. Biden: Well, the point is, it turned out they didn't,
but everyone in the world thought he had them. The weapons inspectors said he had them. He catalogued- they catalogued them.
This was not some, some Cheney, you know, pipe dream. This was, in fact, catalogued. They looked at them and catalogued. What he did with them, who knows? The real mystery is, if he, if he didn't have any of them left, why didn't he say so? Well, a lot of people say if he had said that, he would've, you know,
emboldened Iran and so on and so fourth.

Can't balance this 'one' Joe

| Joe, even Tee can not balance on this stick |
Clearly good'ol Joe should have known that we had a problem with Saddam, I mean he had been a long time member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was the ranking chair at the time he went on Meet the Press in 2007. So yes, we had problems with Saddam and his cronies.
Did we have to rely on the 'Biden Plan' when getting Saddam and his henchmen, no! Our troops went in and had taken this vile man out and many of his ilk. While also giving freedom to millions of Iraqi's that have never been given the chance to even feel it in their hearts.

Notice Continuing the National Emergency with Respect to Syria.
NOTICE
- - - - - - -
CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT
TO THE ACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SYRIA
On May 11, 2004, pursuant to his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C.
1701-1706, and the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, Public Law 108-175, the President issued Executive Order 13338, in which he declared a national emergency with respect to the actions of the Government of Syria. To deal with this national emergency, Executive Order 13338 authorized the blocking of property of certain persons and prohibited the exportation or re-exportation of certain goods to Syria. On April 25, 2006, and February 13, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 13399 and Executive Order 13460, respectively, to take additional steps with respect to this national emergency.
The President took these actions to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions of the Government of Syria in supporting
terrorism, maintaining its then existing occupation of Lebanon, pursuing weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining U.S. and international efforts with respect to the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq.
While the Syrian government has made some progress in suppressing networks of foreign fighters bound for Iraq, its actions and policies, including continuing support for terrorist organizations and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. As a result, the national emergency declared on May 11, 2004, and the measures adopted on that date, on April 25, 2006, in Executive Order 13399, and on February 13, 2008, in Executive Order 13460, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond May 11, 2010. Therefore, in
accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared with respect to certain actions of the Government of Syria. The United States will consider changes in the policies and actions of the Government of Syria in determining whether to continue or terminate this national emergency in the future and would welcome progress by the Government of Syria on these matters.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE,
May 3, 2010.
2010: Saddam Hussein is gone but, we have another dictator on the rise, President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Assad has no problem killing his own people and has shown no progress of slowing down either and we know he has WMD. Does this sound familiar (Saddam) to you, it does me. Also Bashar al-Assad, loves to help support those terrorist.
United States: Country reports on terrorism 2010
Chapter 3: SYRIA
Overview: Designated in 1979 as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, Syria in 2010 continued its political support to a variety of terrorist groups affecting the stability of the region and beyond. Syria provided political and weapons support to Hizballah in Lebanon and allowed Iran to resupply the terrorist organization with weapons. The external leadership of Hamas, the Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), among others, were based in Damascus and operated within Syria's borders. Statements supporting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hizballah consistently permeated government speeches and press statements.
President Bashar al-Asad continued to express public support for Palestinian terrorist groups as elements of the resistance against Israel. Damascus historically has allowed exiled individuals safe haven in Syria and Hamas Politburo head Khalid Meshaal and his deputies continued to reside in Syria, while the Syrian government provided Meshaal security escorts for his motorcades. Though the Syrian government claimed periodically that it used its influence to restrain the rhetoric and activities of Palestinian groups, Meshaal freely traveled around Damascus and the Syrian government allowed Meshaal's use of the Syrian Ministry of Information as the venue for press conferences. Open source reports indicated that Hamas used Syrian soil as training grounds for its militant fighters.
Added to the terrorist operatives calling Damascus home, in 2010, Iraqi Baathists continued to congregate in the Syrian capital and some of them call for violence against the Iraqi government, Iraqi civilian targets, and American and coalition forces within Iraq. Al-Rai Television, a television station owned by Iraqi Baathist Mishaan al-Jaburi and broadcast from a suburban Damascus location, transmitted violent messages in support of terrorism in Iraq throughout the year.

It is so clear that al Assad and his cronies not only kill their own but, also help support terrorist groups. As I have stated before, Gaddafi was not the best guy out there either but, he was not doing all the bad little things al-Assad was up to his knickers in, that would have hurt this administration, terrorism. So I ask again,
Why Gaddafi?
The United States through the U.N. council were not able to place the sanctions on al-Assad that they wanted to because of opposition in the United Nations. They knew Syria was helping many terrorist groups and also through al Assad, Ahmadinejad was being able to also help (more so) terrorist groups. Partners in crime those two are.
A hard pill to swallow when you, the President of the United States is telling the world, that we have the upper hand and al Qaeda is on the run.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
Gin-eral Joe
2011: With Barry & Co. taking credit for 'ending' the war in Iraq and bringing our troops home (one day) from Afghanistan, Barry could not take a chance of things going wrong, an election was approaching. Barry could not go in and just take al Assad out, now could he.
If he did this, then Barry would be a Mini-Bush (his mind set, not mine) in the eyes of his voters. Yes he had a big election coming up, he could not be one of the
millions of Americans out of work, he needed to keep his base, so as to keep his job.
Barry needed to stop one of the top sponsors of terrorism, Syria &/or Iran, so as his 'lie' that al Qaeda was on the run, might not be squashed. Although most of us already knew this to be the lie it was.
So what is an administration to do, maybe it was the 'Biden Plan'.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.

IRAN AND IRAQ: THE FUTURE OF NONPROLIFERATION POLICY---Tuesday, March 28, 2000
U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Washington, D.C. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 3:09 p.m., in Room SD-419, Dirksen Senate Office Building, The Hon. Richard Lugar presiding. Present Senators Lugar and Biden.
The whole meeting is worth reading and I suggest you do, though there was one part of this transcript that just blew my mind as I sat in my computer chair reading it over and over, to see if what I saw the first time, was actually true, sadly it was...
Senator Biden: Mr. Chairman, would you permit me two minutes?
Senator Lugar: Sure
Senator Biden: One of the perverse impacts that I believe occured or has burst into the fore as a consequence of our actions in Kososvo has been, as I travel the world and visit "third world countries," who are allies, or even deal with our allies, is that it seemed to establish the idea that the phrase I hear in other countries is, if Yugoslavia, if Milosevic, had chemical weapons or biological weapons or nuclear weapons, you would have never done that, that the only way we have to deal with you is to have possession of those weapons.
Secondly, we were told by previous witnesses, well respected witnesses, in the first or second of these hearings that they believed-- two said they believe that the reason why Saddam believes we did not go to Baghdad was because they possessed chemical weapons, and we were fearful of them and that is why we stopped.
That was an assertion. Am I correct? That was an assertion made by one very well-respected witness before us. I did not realize that was part of it. And I did not think that was it, but let us assume that it is. If either of those propositions are true, that is, that our overwhelming conventional force has made it clear to other nations that--and they believed we would not use such force for whatever reason, if they possessed a weapon of mass destruction...
maybe what we should do is take out a country with weapons of mass destruction, maybe what we should do is take out a country with weapons of mass destruction. I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not. I think it might raise a question if in fact--and there is a distinction, Doctor. The ability to hide intermediate range missiles is not so clear to all.
So maybe what we should do is just wait around until they possess those missiles, and then go in and unilaterally take them out at that time to demonstrate that that is not a way in which to have to deal with us. A bizarre proposition. Can you respond?

Go Gin-eral Joe, Go
March 19, 2011: The ME & NA are burning, the Arab spring is getting out of control so on March 19, 2011 the Americans (with allies) launched 'Operation Odyssey Dawn' in Libya.
Mr. President, was the 'Biden Plan' actually 'Operation Odyssey Dawn', did we scare President Bashar al Assad enough, so he will now bend to his knees, stop sponsoring terrorist and be a good boy?
We all saw Muammar Gaddafi give up 'most' of his arsenal and stop his nuclear programs in 2003, after Saddam fell. Maybe then good'ol Joe thought, hey it does work, so let's go with the 'Biden Plan', with Joe's mind, it is possible.
I mean, if we go by Joe's plan, Gaddafi fits the criteria, he has (when alive) chemicals and long range missiles. Also al Assad has both in his arsenal. This administration had yet to kill Osama aka Binny, so they must stop this terrorist noise some how. Binny was not killed until May, 2011.
Do I know that this administration used the 'Biden Plan' for a fact, nope, I can not prove if this administration used the 'Biden Plan' or not but, put it all together and I tell you, 1+1 does =2.
We can make fun of those idiotic Joe (Biden) gaffes that so many people in the media (and the public) find funny but, not one thing here makes me laugh,
not one damn thing.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
Ohhhhhhh, Barryyyyyyyy...
So Mr. President, this employer of yours wants these questions answered on the 'Biden Plan'...
Did you vet your vice presidential running mate before placing him on the ticket?
Where you informed by any person/persons about the 'Biden Plan'?
Was the 'Biden Plan" ever discussed with you and any person/persons inside your administration, or any of our allies?
Were you showing the 'strength' of American power to one Country's leader, by taking out another country's leader?
Were Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods lives cut short because, you 'never' had any intention in helping the people of Libya be able to gain & 'keep' their freedom in the first place?
Were the citizens of Libya used and in turn, our military used when you launched 'Operation Odyssey Dawn' on March 19, 2011?
If this is so, may God have mercy on your soul.
The most transparent administration in history, my ass!
Correction...

| We hold the Power |
I have never been to journalism school, nor have I had any former education of any kind to show that yes, I am a writer. I do have a few things going for me though, I am curious, I love my country and I am heavily invested in whom does sit in 'our' oval office and those he/she brings with them.
I do not claim to be a expert in foreign policy as good'ol Joe does but, I have done my research. The 'Biden Plan' came across my face around ten years ago while doing research for a book I have been working on about Iraq.
When I first put the 'Biden Plan' out in 2008, I was not writing articles, it was just sent by email to certain people and groups. The second time around in November, 2012 I decided to inform the American people About whom they might be putting in office once again in an article I had published.
The 2012 November article stated that Barry & Co. were trying to teach 'Ahmadinejad' a lesson but, after many hours of additional research, I find President Bashar al'Assad of Syria to be the target. I doubt Barry has the balls to take on Iran but, he thought he could take al Assad down and at least hurt Iran in the process.
I also feel that the 'sanctions set fourth against Ahmadinejad was what geared me towards him but this time, unlike Saddam Hussein, it was the 'lack' of sanctions that this administration could not get placed on Syria, that was the driving force in the 'Biden Plan'.
I believe we should tell the truth when it comes to writing about such serious matters and
all of the truth should be exposed and when you make a mistake, you do not bury it on page 12, you eat your crow and place it out there for all to see. I could have gone on and pretended this was my first draft of the 'Biden Plan' but you will find, that is just not who I am, period!
I am sorry to all that have read my November piece on this matter. I am here to tell the truth, period. I would also like to say though, not one thing in this article or in my 2012 article 'is' a lie, my facts prove that.
I was just going to transfer that story over to my blog and I was almost done with it when I heard one comment while watching Lou Dobbs last night that finally put it altogether for me. I don't even remember the comment my brain was on overload and all I could repeat out loud was "Oh my gosh, it is Assad!". My mouth dropped just as low, as it did years back when I first ran into the 'Biden Plan'.
Maybe this just might be why Secretary of State Kerry is now to going to Syria for talks, now that al Assad knows that we mean business.
I am not being facetious. You think I am being facetious. I am not.
