Dempsey says US considering use of force in Syria
2013-07-19
[Al Ahram] The nation's top military officer tells a Senate committee the B.O. regime is deliberating whether to use military power in Syria, where a civil war entering its third year has killed almost 93,000 people.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey says during congressional testimony Thursday that he has provided President Barack Obama
I am not a dictator!...
with options for the use of force in Syria.

Dempsey used the term "kinetic strikes," and added the "issue is under deliberation inside of our agencies of government."

But Dempsey did not provide additional details. He says the decision on whether to engage militarily is one for U.S. elected officials to make.

The Senate Armed Services Committee is considering Dempsey's nomination for a second term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

#6  Unfortunately, the Bammer's foreign policy is being presently heavily criticized or summed up in the MSM-Net as "SEDUCTION-N-ABANDONMENT".

The Brits has repor also seemingly decided to abandon their plan to arm the Syrian rebels, although its NOt clear at this time iff this is due to Dempsey's remarks, or the on-going criticisms of the Bammer Admin as per "red line" wafflism.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Big Story] UN ENVOY: IRAQ AND SYRIA CONFLICTS ARE MERGING.

POTUS Bammer "red lines" also "merging"???

FYI my bad vibes keeps going up, more so this AM given ...

* BIG NEWS NETWORK > [India Today] WHITE HOUSE ASSERTS WILL NEVER [e-v-a-r!] RULE ALL OF SYRIA EVER AGAIN.

IMO the key word is "ALL", directly inferring that the Bammer Admin = USA covertly desires some kind of formal partition or division of Syria???

[1/2 of ASIA-PACIFIC RIM here].

PCORRECT LEGALISM = the Bammer can't be impeached because HE'S PAYING OFF THE DEBILITATING EXCESSIVE US DEBT + REDUCING THE BUDGET DEFICIT; + HE ONLY TURNED OVER EAST ASIA + GUAM-CNMI-WESTPAC TO CHINA, NOT HAWAII + US WEST COAST SINCE THAT OF COURSE WOULD BE AGZ THE US CONSTITUTION [De Facto US States, NOT Not-A-State(s) US Territories].

* Also from BIG NEWS NETWORK > [USA = USDOD] MILITARY COMMUNITIES BRACE FOR HARDSHIP DUE TO [Sequester-led] BUDGET CUTS.

>[Pew Research Center] GLOBAL POLL INDICATES THAT CHINA WILL PASS US AS SUPERPOWER [Global Leader = "Top Cop/World Policeman"].
> RUSSIA TODAY = AL-QAEDA'S PLANNED EMIRATE IN SYRIA IS WEST'S OWN DOING.
> PHILIPPINE STAR = DFA: BEIJING'S SWEEPING CLAIMS ON ENTIRE SOUTH CHINA SEA IS THE PROBLEM.

* STARS-N-STRIPES > USDOD MULLS [more, new]POTENTIAL CUTBACKS IFF SEQUESTER PERSISTS.

RELATED SAME = KAIN: DEFENCE CUTS HURTING US BASES OVERSEAS.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Asia Times] CHINA PLANNING STRATEGIC COUP IN THE PACIFIC. China prepping a direct, iff only subtle? [subtle-but-aggressive], MilPol challenge to to the international order established by the US in the Far East.

* MARIANAS VARIETY GUAM > CHINESE MEDIAS ACCUSE JAPANESE PM OF DANGEROUS POLITICS.

Both China + Japan NOT backing down, but ESCALATING - WILL THE BAMMER LOVE-EM-THEN-LEAVE-EM, in the name of "Globalism", OWG, Global Welfare-Nanny State, US National-vs-Global/World-Debt, + OWG "Multipolarity"???

OWG GLOBAL "CO-SUPERPOWER(S)" - you know, CHINA or NUCLEAR ISLAM/CALIPHATE, ETAL. to be the FUTURE WORLD #1???

Thank goodness thats settled.
