Syria and the Swinging Pendulum

The Tide has Changed 

Since 9/11 the state’s power has grown exponentially and it’s ability to wage war and infiltrate a digitized populace has reached epic proportions, but the pendulum has reached its apogee.  The Obama Administration has made a terrible miscalculation regarding the public’s reaction to it’s proposed military intervention in Syria and it appears the President will not be able to garner the votes needed in congress to pass the resolution in support of his plan to attack Assad.

As Private Manning sits in a prison cell and Eric Snowden lives in exile, AIPAC is working tirelessly to lobby congress to pass the war resolution, but the public’s heart is with Snowden and Manning, not Netanyahu.  If Obama and AIPAC lose this vote their grand plan to confront Iran’s nuclear aspirations will crumble.  If Americans reject a military intervention in order to punish Assad for his supposed use of WMD’s,  how will they ever support taking on the Iranian regime for just having them?  This is not the same America that re-elected George Bush in 2004.
