Maybe A Red Line In the Sky?

If you are having trouble staying awake at night, here is more helpful news on Syria:

Russian Flights Over Iraq and Iran Escalate Tension With U.S.

WASHINGTON — Russia is using an air corridor over Iraq and Iran to fly military equipment and personnel to a new air hub in Syria, openly defying American efforts to block the shipments and significantly increasing tensions with Washington.

American officials disclosed Sunday that at least seven giant Russian Condor transport planes had taken off from a base in southern Russia during the past week to ferry equipment to Syria, all passing through Iranian and Iraqi airspace.

Their destination was an airfield south of Latakia, Syria, which could become the most significant new Russian military foothold in the Middle East in decades, American officials said.

Fortunately, Obama and Kerry are all over this:

The Obama administration initially hoped it had hampered the Russian effort to move military equipment and personnel into Syria when Bulgaria, a NATO member, announced it would close its airspace to the flights. But Russia quickly began channeling its flights over Iraq and Iran, which Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, said on Sunday would continue despite American objections.

“There were military supplies, they are ongoing, and they will continue,” Mr. Lavrov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies. “They are inevitably accompanied by Russian specialists, who help to adjust the equipment, to train Syrian personnel how to use this weaponry.”

There will be weapons, there will be advisers, get over it. At least we know where they stand.

As to Iraq, they couldn't enforce a closure of their airspace anyway but what is their position? Not helpful...

American diplomats raised the issue with the Iraqi government on Sept. 5, hoping that the Iraqis would follow Bulgaria’s example and declare their airspace off limits to the Russian transport planes.

The Iraqis responded that they would look into the matter, said an American official who declined to be identified because he was talking about diplomatic communications. But more than a week later, the Iraqis had yet to take action.

...

Compounding [Iraqi Prime Minister] Abadi’s challenge are his efforts to maintain good relations with the United States, Iran and Russia. While about 3,500 American advisers have been sent to help the Iraqis combat the Islamic State, Iraq also has received military support for that fight from Iran, which like Russia is backing Mr. Assad. Iraq also is buying weapons from Moscow, which Mr. Abadi visited in May.

With few aircraft, Iraq’s ability to defend its airspace is extremely limited. But it could tell the Russians that they do not have the clearance to fly through Iraqi airspace and ask for American help in detecting and discouraging Russian flights.

Yeah, because Obama is ready and willing to shoot down Russian transport planes over Iraq.

An expert comments on the Iraqi politics:

“Since Maliki relinquished the premiership, power and authority in Iraq have become increasingly diffused with various players now exercising unilateral power over the use of force,” Ramzy Mardini, a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council, a research group in Washington, said in a telephone interview from Erbil, Iraq.

“Neutrality is the best Washington can hope for in Baghdad,” Mr. Mardini added. “Iraq is not a dictatorial state like many of the U.S. allies in the Middle East. Iraq is still a fragile state whose leaders are exposed to politics. In the discourse of Iraqi politics, forcing Abadi to side with the U.S. against Assad is like realigning him with the Sunni axis against the Shia one.”

"Neutrality" seems to mean "taking the Russian's side" since Iraq's airspace remains open and unsecured.

More on the diplomatic front:

On the same day that the administration approached Iraq and other nations about the Russian flights, Mr. Kerry called Mr. Lavrov and warned the Kremlin not to vastly expand its military support for the Syrian government. Mr. Kerry said it would fuel the conflict and might even lead to an inadvertent confrontation with the American-led coalition that is carrying out airstrikes against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, in Syria, the State Department noted in a statement about the call.

“It appears now that Assad is worried enough that he’s inviting Russian advisers in and Russian equipment in,” President Obama said in a meeting with troops at Fort Meade, Md., last week. “And that won’t change our core strategy, which is to continue to put pressure on ISIL in Iraq and Syria, but we are going to be engaging Russia to let them know that you can’t continue to double-down on a strategy that’s doomed to failure.”

But those warnings do not appear to have swayed President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who appears determined to create new facts on the ground in Syria.

Geez, Putin not taking Obama seriously on Syria - who could have guessed that Putin the Red would ignore Barry Red Line? The Times closes dramatically:

“This is the most important Russian power projection in the region in decades,” said Stephen J. Blank, an expert on the Russian military at the American Foreign Policy Council, “and it will enhance Russia’s influence throughout the Levant.”

Well, Obama's strategy is to have the US abandon the region and create a power vacuum. Like nature, politics abhors such things.

ALas, too late. I was hoping they were in 2016.

Well, time to think of something else to get people moving.

Laura Ingraham pointed out this morning that this strategy of getting just enough electoral votes (I think pioneered by Karl Rove) leaves one without a clear victory.

I personally think that a Reagan landslide is possible again but not only do you have to have people PO'd at the dems, you have to offer them an obvious better choice and explain why they wi,l be better off.

Using my IRS example, I would point out how these bureaucrats siphon off so much money from the federal budget, and how the pensions are way overboard compared to those of people in the private sector.

Show how it could be used to pay down the debt, show how the IRS is used to harass people, ask if we wouldn't be better off with a smaller, cheaper IRS.

This, of course, only works for those who pay taxes. For the ones who do not, and who are content to live as welfare clients, we will have to think of something else.

I simply don't get the Administration strategy. They do not want to commit US anything Isis, so why get overly bothered if Putin sends his cannon fodder instead? Yep, Putin is happy to spike the football against Obama, but Obama can ignore it. He's ignored worse...

Really, all Kerry is doing is advertising US lack of resolve. I guess that's how they do things in the France of Kerry's dreams.

ISIS vs Iran vs Assad vs Putin is the Iran Iraq was of the new milennium. It's a pity that someone actually might win this thing.

---People will come here there anyway?

So Iran gets $150 Billion. Russia is building up around Latakia, their base in the Med, and our intel analysts have risen up in revolt against their masters for twisting the facts into pretzels, specifically around the misrepresentation of our "war" with ISIS.

One of the driving factors for our leadership on the Iran deal was that the American people are sick of war. I find that not to be true when talking to people and reading relatively unbiased news.

The truth is that the cabal at the top finds any American use of force antithetical to their anti-American philosophy. To them, we are, as a people, never a force for good.

The waging of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was amazingly incompetent. We won the wars themselves but lost the peace.

But now the Leftists have flushed even the small gains made down the toilet. This has to be driven home with the American people. Iran, Ukraine, Syria, and Afghanistan have been unqualified disasters because of the Democrats and their Marxist fellow travelers.

Twas a link to this Aussie story:

Aussie Agricultural Minister Barnaby Joyce has dismissed Johnny Depp’s suggestion that he would fly down under and assault Mr Joyce, if actress wife Amber Heard is jailed over the illegal entry of the couple’s dogs into Australia in May.

The agriculture minister ordered Depp to remove his two Yorkshire terriers from Australia or face having them euthanized, after they were brought into the country while he was filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film in Queensland.

Obviously some countries like Pirates importing pets better than others.

@EiB: to continue with daddy's theme from yesterday: those are a few of my favorite things.

[daddy]

General Jack Keane on FOX summarizes ISIS gains while why our Intel folks are alleging that the White House is lying to the American people.

Host Gretchen: Let's move on to this...The Pentagon IG is investigating complaints that Intel reports on the fight against ISIS were manipulated to be falsely optimistic. This reportedly resulted in inaccurate info reaching the highest Govt Officials, including President Obama. What do you make of it?

Keane: I think this is a very serious allegation because of the sources involved. These are Intelligence analyst who worked at Central Command Headquarters, who oversee the War. They work for the Major General who's in charge of Intelligence. And what they are alleging is that whole parts of their intelligence reports were taken out because they painted an adverse light on what was happening to ISIS.

So that our audience can understand, they look at this very comprehensively when they're thinking about ISIS.:

---ISIS Command and Control,
---their ability to conduct freedom of maneuver;
---their initiative, tactical and operational,
---how much territory they control,
---their ability to regenerate their forces, build resiliency,

All those kinds of things. And what they were concluding is that ISIS is pretty much in fairly decent shape given the fact that they've expanded into Syria, they own about the same amount of terrain in Iraq after a year, and they're expanding into seven other countries and they have a worldwide following. Those conclusions did not go over well, and some of those conclusions were changed is what the allegation is.
