Under the Table?

The point is four legs[**].
Another point is that I have not posted them yet.
There just so happens to be four.
Not that they are Romney*, Gingrich, Santorum, or Hunt*[s]*man, let alone Paul.

*anachronism alert:
[**] done [As to in the process*** of coordinating the legs.]
[The previous four posts were rough drafted Thursday 1-12-12, here are some coordinated links.
Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, No Bain Or...]
*** [They are Rachel, Lawrence and Colbert, not to mention Schultz.]
[But the "under the table" is a reference to getting things on the table [!]

And the not so plane truth.]

[Then(later)there is Dylan Ratigan, The War on War and Iran, or who ran?]
[And Al Sharpton with PoliticsNation]
[another four legs:

Foreign Policy,

The Maze of Mace

The previous post regarded more about what is outside the box or Pentagon. I am not sure that the 10 essays will get through the other monkeys of the budget and media maze.

BTW: I guess I was lucky finding a maze that led to a pentagon of sorts. By this I mean the previous link and the reference to the terms used in conversation and budgets from "war machine", military, defense, security, foreign policy, monetary policy, to bubbles. There! I hit seven monkeys off our back(off the wall) and on the table.

The TPP seems to be similar to the Iran nuclear negotiations in its secrecy.
Now there are leaks or portions of what are on the table being used to argue against what is generally the responsibility of the administration; foreign policy.
Could it be that opposition from the left on this is as off base as opposition from the right on almost everything President Obama has tried?
...

Not that I support anything where the fine print is withheld from the public, couldn't this fit within the general progress that the Administration has achieved despite concerns over words like compromise and moderation? [...]

For Careful Processing:

Iran Progress?
Israelis' Onion?
GOP Treason?

The Middle East label has been underused in this blog.  Foreign Policy a more frequent label.  Not sure if the Obama Doctrine has superseded it.  The piece by Juan Cole may seem in jest, but may be the actual reason Israel is so belligerent.  Not to mention the GOP.

[BTW: these last two bracketeds* are pre-and post vision things**. i.e. the coherence was post Martin Bashir, the comprehensiveness(original comprehension) was pre-emptive of viewing Dylan Ratigan, a transition comment of sorts***, but the perspective was coming from sorted strengths and dynamics, as in areas of politics, economics and foreign policy, not to wholistically thumb up or down individuals or fields.]

Toning Down the Lines.

Just in case it was not clear, my Waiting for [Calm Cast] was not just a metaphor, and Comcast did arrive to increase my signal strength by toning down my lines. Hmmm. That works. But what I also wish to make clear is that while some may rightly argue the wisdom of another involvement in military action that the tone and approach are totally different than recent actions. If Congress wishes[*] to have a different view, they may need to take certain measures to make clear where military action is appropriate, until that time the Commander in Chief is responsible (for) foreign policy, upholding international treaties and the U.N. charter. Now I also need to sort out a few of these links, but my point is that this time our action is only as a leader of a united concern that is a bit clearer than recent actions, and those with veto power in the U.N. did not use their vetos. Of course actions may evolved based on certain reactions, but that is the nature of putting things clear or on the table.

Bring It On!

Speaking of preemptive...it was only a thought.  But one missed by this author who takes President Obama to task in The End of the Post-9/11 World.  That being, with the obstructionism (update 6-4) the Republicans bring to the economy, what could they bring to national defense or foreign policy?  Actually the missing thought is the NDAA and how hard it is to change laws given the success he had on Gitmo and his budget and jobs act, and it seems the author missed it too. The only question should be who will be in the legislature to change our laws, and who will be the executive until they do. 

IT IS ON....

Progress is Global

...and incremental, pragmatic, and needs to reflect diverse views and dynamics. It also should put the health care progress in proper perspective, as there are both employment and international consequences to changes, which congress must be in on addressing. Despite the fears of some, this is not a dictatorship or even a one party system but a triumvirate for the tetrahedron of the people.

Phase II?

Just what is Phase II? I'm not sure what I meant at the time. It was an allusion* to the investigation that never was done on the use of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq resolution. "We need some movement" was a reference to what Bush wanted on the Middle East Crisis or the U.N. in general.

My "bullet" points were on target to hint at the concept that the movement needed to come in his own administration. No triumvirate[E.D.] of past presidents will have any more success in diplomacy than the call for ceasefire or possibly the lack of demand for one.

The interesting tangent(s) noted in the footnote below were more accurately a triagulation. My implication was to save you the time by indication it was only a link to a dictionary. But the triumvirate link was more than tangent in the word "allusion"s relationship to illusion and delusion. All useful terms in foreign policy or diplomacy, but the magic may be in their administration. The fact is that we have a triumvirate designed into the constitution. Three branches of power, that serve to "check and balance". September 11th may have changed all that, but my opinion that it was preemptive in nature, merits serious consideration of and by the media and the people.

Any involvment by intermediaries to the administration should adress them first. The only hope is that it is Nixonian in nature, but like Nixon to China, where can Bush go? [Now that is a tangent and an allusion, and a dilemma.] Bush could go to the Saudis or the Corporations or just Oil and demand that they stand for freedom and democracy. Or the people could just change congress and work to bring back the triumvirate.

Phase II also pertained to the advances that have been made to my blog in the area of providing video links and the ability to comment. Both relate to the pacing and content that needs further review or work, the former looking back and the latter moving forward.

Here are two pieces that could be used as a table of contents for my points made over the years and summarized above.**

On authoritarianism or "Do as I say, not as I do"

And The Hidden Power or con-science.

I guess maybe Phase II means that I will do more "hard work" so that the read will be easier for my audience.
