One aspect of international politics today, more important than in earlier years, is the object of devotion amongst politicians and power structures previously governed by such.
Let’s take WWII as a basis. Worldly power structures were governed by leaders devoted to those powers. Presidents instinctively relied and defended the Constitution. It identified their core beliefs with the proclamation and enforced its acceptance as a basis to identify fellow Americans. It was a manifestation of statesmanship.
The situation is different today. Over the years our politicians have moved far away from statesmanship to simply seeking worldly power by whatever means. Obama seems to relish in his ability to speak to an audience for their approval by using lies for their approbation. He becomes nearly giddy, the more he can stretch an outlandish series of falsehoods into an imaginative construct, delivered in a fashion promoting public approbation. This appears to be Obama’s identifying trait.
Now consider the world of foreign policy. We have embassies and consulates scattered throughout the globe, in practically every nation. We know they have associations with the CIA and clandestine services, in close proximity to more publicly recognized administrative functions for commerce and political relations between nations.
Those power structures strongly appear to have been engaged in regional warfare campaigns over the past 20 years, and strategically active in the last 5 without any public cognizance of their strategic direction. They appear to have now placed equally vapid rudderless governing bodies into power structures throughout the mideast and Africa, essentially replacing all leadership in the formerly Green Line from Indonesia to Morocco.
Now we have an interesting predicament of command and control. The same elements of control formerly identified with national allegiance manifest in national Constitutions, have been ignored to promote worldly power grabs without encumbrance to Constitutional limits, are no longer guides keeping remote leadership in step with national league leadership.
Worse, remote campaigns have promoted small local, temporal, rebellious adversarial uprisings using ingenious latitude to achieve local tactical victories.
Unfortunately for national leaders, these same elements now have no encumbrance to even more rogue behavior and more formal forms of national military power have been reduced from total national projection of force to local campaign thrusts with limited sustainability.
Instead of promoting a national cause, Obama and his ilk have grossly eroded the rule of law and promoted tribal powers armed with high end strategic tools with inadequate endurance to last more than tactical level campaigns.
There is nothing keeping a litany of authorities from all pursuing their own self interests independent of national controls. Even if the national controls want to maintain their grasp, they’ve eroded their own controlability.
Speaking strictly about the media ,,, I don’t believe there is a coordinated effort to unseat 0bama . Yesterday on FOX I heard several media members plotting together to ask a series of GOTCHA questions to be presented to Romney about remarks he made about the enbassy attacks not knowing they were close to an open mic . I’m sure that during the upcoming debates you will again clearly see a big difference in the nature of fastball questions presented to Romney and softball questions presented to 0bama . The overall MSM is still in the bag for 0bama .
CNN provides a statement of the obvious. Surprise, surprise since anyone with a brain knows that feral muslim bros don’t have access to the lone man willing to call them what they are—psychopathic mass murderers of innocent people.

I heard that too - hardly unbiased journalism.
My friend said it wasn’t all in the mentioned groups. Many are still Obama’s puppets.
Well, we should put a weak, incapable boot in their ass in the form of a bunker-buster or two or three.
