Legacy Journal: Gulf Warriors: In the Air: on the Ground
Section:
FrontPage
Summary:
* This week the President of the United States traveled to the Middle East. Israel, Bahrain and Kuwait in the Persian Gulf, and Egypt. Sadly, most Americans can not locate strategically important Gulf locations like Qatar, Oman and the Straits of Hormuz on a map. 16 million barrels of oil in giant tankers, 20% of the world supply , daily transits the straits.
** On the Sunday talk shows, the foreign policy had no place. Hours of valuable TV time was spent probing the trivia and drivel of arcane processes of partisan party primary policy and personality. Not one person at the JCC early morning Monitor equipped stationary machine workout watched Attorney Journalist Tim go one on one with Attorney and environmental spokesman , John Kerry, or George opine with George on ABC, or Bob Schieffer the # 3 network a Viacom and Sumner Redstone showpiece.
*** Meanwhile, the good news is that oil from Iran is now entering the market at the rate of 2.5 million barrels a day, American households spend 35 % less of their inflation adjusted income on fuel than 20 years ago, and one of the remaining nine primary candidates for president, a non attorney, has a rational, comprehensive and workable economic and energy plan for the future.
Main:
: American views of Gulf events, history, culture are largely polarized and are not well served or informed by the mass media. Meanwhile, the next generation of elites and leaders are getting valuable field training on the ground, at sea, and in the air.
:: Few voters are concerned about AGCC as a keystone issue.
::: The conventional wisdom is that Mitt Romney is willing to run a national delegate based primary strategy. The summer Republican Convention in Minneapolis could be interesting and important.
