Op-Ed: Obama Hiding True Motives for War From American People

Obama doesn’t tell you what he’s thinking. He keeps his motives to himself. Cherished long-term ideological goals are advanced as pragmatic fixes to concrete problems in the present. Now we’re seeing the familiar domestic pattern in foreign policy as well.

Few Americans realize that Obama has had a longstanding interest in multilateral efforts to combat war crimes and genocide. Obama would like to see a more constraining international legal regime on war crimes, even at the cost of national sovereignty, not to mention the blood and treasure of the countries doing the enforcing. In general, Obama has said little about his larger foreign policy goals.

...In 2005, Obama contacted Power after reading her book on genocide. There followed a long conversation, after which Power left Harvard to work for Obama, quic‘kly emerging as his senior foreign policy advisor.

...Most of the commentary on Libya has focused on the tension between Obama’s apparent desire to displaceQaddafi and his reluctance to admit to it. But the chief reason for this intervention is the one that’s staring us in the face. Obama dithered when it was simply a matter of replacing Qaddafi, yet quickly acted when slaughter in Benghazi became the issue. What Samantha Power and her supporters want is to solidify the principle of “responsibility to protect” in international law. That requires a “pure” case of intervention on humanitarian grounds. Power’s agenda would explain why Obama acted when he acted, and why the public rationale for action has not included regime change.

Yet Obama has so far been reluctant to fully explain any of this to either Congress or the American public, perhaps because he realizes that the ideological basis of his actions would not be popular if openly admitted.

At the pace of Obama (progressive) foreign and domestic policy, the world is going to look very different by election time.

[KC Burke]

The firm establishment of the UN as a body with an autonomous “Responsibility to Protect” which will soon be cast as over riding the Security Council authority is a vile and dangerous maneuver.

Power as the wife of Cass Sunstien is totally bent on destroying US Sovereign power and that of Israel. It matters little how dumb or smart Obama is himself — the one world leftists have the rudder of our nation.

The ‘game’ that is now being played out did not start with Soros. Soros by hook and crook became the umpire for the game planners. The game became apparent when Bush1 declared a new world order was happening with the 1st gulf war. Players in the game continued thru Bill Clinton, Bush2 and now a key player in Obama. All the players and coaches knew a game was going on. The umpire selected, Soros, is still calling the game for the planners. The game took on new life and exigency when it was realised the USA was indeed a unique and exceptional Nation. As such the umpire for the planners with the help of a new key player(s) are rushing to end the game befor USA citizens really catch on to their intent for the USA to be a loser subject their rules. .

Thankfully Trump is busting this into the open - for now - until the long knives who put obama in power come after Trump and the people he loves

Sorry, but what is Trump doing?

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

All of the discussions about Obama’s birth cirtificate I have seen, I don’t think I have ever seen one discussion of his NBC status. The topic is always led to birther crazies. I don’t think I have ever heard on talking head point out that his father was not a citizen?

One can only guess why, but brings up the question; How free is the free press?

That makes sense of this entire fiasco. And makes a mockery of the constitution.

oscuzzbucket is undeniably the worst ever by far, but we’ve had some others that were pretty bad - Marting Van Buren, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ and Carter come quickly to mind.
