Hello faithful lurkers of MBNWorldNews.com and MiddleEastReport.com
Our media watch process has picked up another digital political riff on the global cyberwaves. We have not witnessed such movement since the days following 9/11.
Right now we are witnessing a series of diplomatic activity via the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, Russia, Jordan, and Palestine (and of course the rest of the globe) that has ignited this blog again.
In our observation, our country (and the world) is at a geopolitical strategic cross roads that is playing out in the Middle East peace process, US midterm election cycles, and the crucial Afghan war being fought as a violent chaotic free-for-all in lawless territories.
As you know, we have been following the Middle East discussion for some time via our @freeRADlab, @betalab, @ZionTocracy, @PoliticiansTV, @Behaviorologist, and Kosher Wiki eco-system. Please continue to follow along and post when possible.
We'll track this new discussion as best we can to see who's who and what's what as it unfolds right before our eyes.
We look forward to your comments.
(Draft) Statement:
This country is turning Red again but in a way that perhaps is inherently more militant than the George Bush II years. In a series of electoral upsets, but not surprising to media cybernauts, the GOP is splintering, for real this time. This is no Steve Forbes single issue assault or a Ross Perot Mirage, these are "Americans" as defined by this countries Anglo traditions. These citizens are at the heart of every state in the US. They are fighting US wars, harvesting fields, putting the goods on and off ships, and spending the money to keep it all going. Or so they say. This does not appear to be simple "protest" votes.
To some, this is an army of believers that are only now gaining steam and uniting. They are inherently hostile and radical, on demand, when it comes to their beliefs of core issues such as the constitution, modern day immigration, religion, education, and distribution of wealth and property. What this organization lacks right now, is leadership.
Democrats have a much more "fierce" and "partisan" opponent on their hands. As of our post, we are very surprised they seem to be only snickering at the accusations and actual misdeeds of these candidates by labeling them as "scary," "Insane," "Frightening," and more. We wonder what skeletons sit in the Democrats and their Progressive Partisans closet's?
We hope you find the discussion interesting and join in. Please contact us directly with any thoughts at the news desk: 215 592 - 1242.
Regards,
Benjamin F. Barnett
Bureau Chief /
Media Strategist

POST: Campaign 2008.
Russia military action in S. Ossetia and Georgia - UPDATE: 081508
Subject:
Measuring response from the Barack Obama Presidential campaign as it relates to US / Russian Policy.
In response to the following statement:
(posted at: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/13/candidates.georgia/index.html#cnnSTCText)
"We cannot shoot from the hip," Susan Rice, Obama's senior foreign policy adviser told MSNBC on Tuesday. "We cannot act on the basis of ideology or preconceived notions. When this crisis began, Sen. Barack Obama, the administration ... and all of our NATO allies took a measured and reasoned approach because we were dealing with the facts as we knew them."
Analysis:
The only thing that can be verified here is that Sen. Obama oddly agrees with George Bush on a foreign policy matter (note: Using NATO as cover). Otherwise, this is not true and shows a lack of understanding, on the spot, of a potentially far reaching crisis. (note: campaign shift response.)
(note: The US has been mediating between the countries for the past 2 years. The Israelie (Private Contractor) Military advisor's were ordered to leave the country in April of 2008. These advisor's have been quoted in the popular press saying that the Georgians they encountered expected this current action.
(note: *** Sen. John McCain)
ongoing...

Syria and Iran have a plan ...
Notes:
Why such Peace moves from Assad as Olmert is being drummed out of politics forever? Assad has said publicly that he is aware of the charges against the Prime Minister and would wait out the Bush administration (Assad would never hand Bush a deal let alone stand with him in the Rose Garden!). Why not stop the process now all together? Are they afraid of Bibi and war? A preemptive strike by the US / Israel against Iran? (which would not allow them to get the Golan Heights back anytime soon). Or is Syria pushing for a deal because they really want it as a "strategic" firing point for the next conflict and feel they can not control Israel and/or Iran? Or is this how it's being staged, for now, by Iran and Syria's common hatred for the US?
----What did Syria promise Iran? Iran had a few days of harsh criticism for Syria. Why no more? Is this a Trojan Horse?
--- Syria and Turkey and Israel end their trilateral secret negotiations.
Says Turkish Diplomat" We have done all that we can and it is now time for the
two sides to meet"
update: Turkey has since hosted new trilateral secret negotiations.
update - Syrian Diplomats: "We will wait until Bush leaves office for a final peace deal (not Olmert)."

Posturing for a new Middle East ... Is this Just flexing or real muscle?
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates have flown to the Middle East to initiate the process for a regional peace conference. They are currently in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office has issued a statement saying in sum that he hopes "Many Arab countries will attend the summit."
As has been the case in the past, US Presidents seem to get to the Middle East peace process almost after the fact. This seems to be true with this President as we watch the flurry of diplomacy. Rice seems like she is too late despite appearing to have wanted a different (engaged) approach. Gates has some credibility in his tough analysis of the man he replaced (Donald Rumsfeld). Then again this is the man who massively politicized intelligence during the Iran Contra scandal. A National humiliation.
As well, US President George Bush in some corners is considered to be the worst US President ever (at least since Herbert Hoover) Actually this has been a topic of discussion as far back as 2004 or more.
Who will listen to this President at this stage? Can Rice get regional Arab players to attend the summit? The answer might lie with Olmert who appears to be concession ready, as some would say, to save his skin.
