"Ok, I know your doing what we asked, but now I'm gonna have to kick your ass, just to publicly to keep up appearences." Obama to MK

Are you referring to the importance of innuendo in body language? Yes, it is particularly important in diplomatic relations.

Perhaps it is how Obama is "reaching out" while Ghadaffi "accepts him in" The leaning to the right by Obama is a sign of appreciation and respect (almost like offering olive branches)

I studied this while attending college and during my service in the military.

It's surprisingly (to those who lack knowledge of it) a pretty big deal.

Good eye, Bob. Quite perceptive of you. Note also Khadaffi's palm is more or less facing "down," while Barry's hand has more of a "palm up" cant. Dominant, on the part of the Colonel; Barry? Reaching. Both literally and figuratively.

Zero Hedge = Fox News

Oh come on.

Here, let me lay it out for you.

Bush was a Neocon scum licking dirtbag.  Obama isn't any different.  Get over it.

Stop electing dirtbags.  It was OBVIOUS that Obama was a dirtbag.  Just looking over Obama's voting record in the senate when he voted to fund the Iraq war multiple times, when he voted to pass the patriot act, when he voted to pass TARP.

He's  dirtbag, just like Bush was.

You had Mike Gravel and Ron Paul running who weren't dirtbags.  You people are, however, so lazy, you probably only barely have any idea who these two men are, and like Pavlog's dog, just assume they are crazy because that's what our dirtbag media said they were.

Meanwhile, we have perfectly "sane" people like Huckabee, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, McCain, Palin, etc being presented as competent moral people capable of leading this nation, and you believe it because our lying media says they are.  Our lying media isn't just confined to Fox news - it all our major media.  They lie about everything from weapons of mass destruction to Iraq, to our "new economy", to our housing market, our supposed recovery - everything.

Stop believing it.

And BTW, listening to CNN and Fox news doesn't make you balanced either, it makes you insane.  2 lies does not allow you to get to the truth.  The truth is never even hinted out in our propaganda machines.

Also, in about a month we will discover all the AQ "rebels" in eastern Libya getting air support from Obama and NATO - fiasco part deux.

What is fascinating is that these are more tribal groups being used for our own gain (again).  Funny how Obama the CFR-NWO shepherd is playing MENA like the US Calvary across the old American West.  These tribes and our designs are no different than the Sioux, Pequot and the Apache (and the hundreds of others that will never be known) and all the Indian Wars therein.  Hope and Change.

The commander/teleprompter in chief better save a few tomahawks for Iran.  Iran is releasing a video announcing the arrival of the Mahdi is near. 

It's called The Coming is Near and it describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical twelfth Imam or Mahdi -- the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days.

"This video has been produced by a group called the Conductors of the Coming, in connection with the Basiji -- the Iranian paramilitary force, and in collaboration with the Iranian president's office," said Reza Kahlil, a former member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards who shared the video with CBN News.

The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching.

The ongoing upheavals in other Middle Eastern countries like Yemen and Egypt--including the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood -- are also analyzed as prophetic signs that the Mahdi is near -- so is the current poor health of the king of Saudi Arabia, an Iranian rival.

"Isn't the presence of Abdullah, his illness, and his uncertain condition, great news for those anxious for the coming?" asks the narrator.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khameini, and Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Iran's terrorist proxy Hezbollah, are hailed as pivotal end times players, whose rise was predicted in Islamic scriptures.

The same goes for Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad, who the video says will conquer Jerusalem prior to the Mahdi's coming.

Sounds like a good plan, but the nutjob Hockmydinnerjacket is probably shaking in his boots since all the dick-tators around him are losing control.  As many desperate fools often do, starting a war deflects the anger away from him onto either Saudi, but more likely, Israel. 

Brainwashing his sheeple with this bullshit movie may be his way of lighting the fuse.

In any event, it doesn't matter what we think about the Mahdi, but what the Iranians think.

The NWO will try to set the stage for this:  America+Europe vs. the entire Middle East, with China and Russia thrown in.  There will be no good side- both sides will be fighting for the Beast, who will feast on the carnage.  America needs to stay out of this next world war and be the unscathed survivor, as before.

Fascism in Europe and a Final Solution for the Muslims is probably inevitable, and will lead to war.  Question is, will we get the war now or in 2050, and will America be sucked in by the false flag terror attacks.

Would be nice to see the fundies all kill each other down to the last man, though.  Maybe we could turn the Gaza Strip into a giant Thunderdome where individual fanatics fight and die for individual square-meter grid cells for their God.  360 million square meters to die for.  Great reality show.

Aside from BHO being totally wrong about his decision to "help" NATO bomb Libya, this was one of the worst, rambling, disconnected, nonsensical speeches I have EVER heard from a politician. This guy makes GW look like a Mensa member.

I don't believe for 1 minute Stooge Obama ordered our Generals to launch on Libya. Congress didn't approve the war and they've already admitted Libya is not threat to our national security. So basically our president was told this was going to happen and to hurry up and get his story straight so he doesn't look like such a Jack Ass. Other powerful people in this world are making decisions to use our military to topple sovereign nations. How embarrassing for him to have a Nobel Peace Prize and be a stooge for the bankers and now Military Indust Complex too. He just set the bar so low for our captured millitary  to launch expensive missiles that we borrowed money to pay for at any random country they see fit. Their captured stooge president will make up any excuse for them.  All's he cares about is shooting hoops and golf and chillin in Hawaii anyway so what does it matter to him. Bet if he tried to tell the generals No to any military strike they would laugh in his face and tell him to lay down. He has to feel like the biggest harlot, pussy, yes man to sit in that office and have terms of everything dictated to him. I'd fucking kill myself or at least resign out of decency if I was that pathetic of a human being. I've got at least some scruples. I still am amazed at the capacity of some people to be able to hold a press conference, go on record, risk their reputation (he won't have much of one left by the time he serves his term) to tell bald face lies and embarrassing bullshit. Even if it's to people he doesn't give a shit about.(Ignorant Americans) it takes a special talent to screw and lie to people this bad and not care but Obama isn't even a good actor like Clinton or Bush Sr. and Jr. He can't even pretend like he gives a shit. He just says what they tell him and gets it over with so he can get paid  the deal they promised and chill back in Hawaii.

you have it all wrong. he knows exactly what the F he's doing. you think the guys they put up there as president are complete idiots? yeah they're just the front men selling the bullshit to the sheep, but they aren't a part of the flock. Obama is a chess piece, just like bush was. But the power of Obama is that he's got you fooled with his skin color. All these smart guys on ZH occasionally succumb to the visual spectacle of the black president, but just like left vs right, man vs woman, gay vs straight, rich vs poor, his skin color is another cognitive barrier to add noise to the national discourse and cloud the collective interpretation of what is actually going on. How do you think black people feel knowing they were played like idiots? How do you think the white people that voted for Obama feel knowing they were played like idiots? The rest of the white people who harbor hate towards his skin are still being played like idiots. I think this guy is much more dangerous than bush. Forget the fact that all his credentials may have been faked, etc. Look at the totality of the situation and how he is operating. He is either TOTALLY mind controlled MANCHURIAN style, or a complete out of his fucking mind lunatic, or the first president who was one of the true elite now showing his face to the public. My money is on one of the first two, and that's bad news. I think this guy was raised in some secret lab or mountain bunker, Colorado or Rushmore. Deep deep mk ultra style.

Once again we are over a barrel because of oil. A specific goal in the National Interest of the U.S. should be the destruction of the utility of the 80 million year old black goo called oil. New energy sources will reduce the real cost of eafch kilowatt and energy to drive a mile. Let the middle eastern fucks kill each other. Right now the real cost of oil is over $150 barrel and the way it is going it will be the end of us. Oh, and nuclear is clearly not the answer. I joked yesterday that the Tepco execs are probably in Thailand and today the Japs took over the firm. I will tell you that they are west of Japan, sure as shit. Ya, nuclear, sure...you will never see the day when a nuke exec lives a mile upwind from a nuke. Lying pieces of shit... just like the fatass oil execs....fuck you

Ever heard of the oil/oxygen analogy?  Basically oil is like oxygen for the economy.  It is like our economy is a passenger in a spaceship with a limited oxygen supply.  This would be bad enough if we were the only passenger.  But we are not.  And if we start holding our breath then the other passengers will use our oxygen.

If we stopped using oil then everyone else in the world would use what we use.  Their economies would quickly outpace ours.  They would dominate us economically, militarily, and culturally.  They would make proud Americans their bitches.

Instead, like a desperate prisoner on a spaceship, we will fight for our oxygen, gently at first then with more violence as the oxygen becomes more thin.  Our only hope is to be the last man standing.

We are doomed to use oil until it is gone or we are dead from it.

It is the tragedy of the commons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Mr. Obama has obviously never read any part of the US constitution.

Early on in the document Article I Section 8 it states that congress

has the right to declare war (not the president). There is a lot of

criticism of George W. Bush at this site, however, at least he got this

part of the constitution correct prior to our effor in Iraq.

Mr. Obama seems to have gotten caught up in the direction given

by the United Nations Security Council and then NATO. So who is

he working for?
