"Okeydoke"
Cheney is maniacal. He won't stop seeking power and war. He is the enemy within. Pure evil.
Is there any doubt why Dick Cheney is an adviser for Genie Energy. He is beginning another war, but, this time within Israel. He is inviting confrontation in a country the USA is required to defend. Israel needs to be prepared to carry out it's own national defense it is responsible for confrontation and human atrocities for this project.
Inappropriate placement of the petroleum industry, otherwise called "USA Interests" is the one definitive reason the USA has gone to war under Republican administrations. The more the USA propagates hatred toward itself and Israel is a willing participant; the longer the USA national defense will be escalated out of control in the culture of fear. Cheney will propagate another 911 if it is the last thing he does.

The Israeli government awarded (click here) a local subsidiary of U.S.-based Genie Energy the rights to explore for oil and natural gas in about 150 square miles of the southern section of the Golan Heights. The United Nations last year extended the mandate for the region's U.N. Disengagement Observer Force mission, one of the oldest peacekeeping missions, for another six months. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said keeping Blue Helmets stationed in the area was essential to peace given the potential for conflict spilling out of the Syrian civil war. Genie Energy said there may be a significant amount of oil and natural gas in the license area. When Israel set its sights on offshore natural gas, Hezbollah warned that Israel shouldn't encroach on Lebanese territory. If recent concerns about Hezbollah's influence are any indication, the Shiite resistance movement may focus its guns onshore amid expanding Israeli energy interests. With former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney serving as an adviser to Genie, however, the implications may go beyond immediate worries over Hezbollah....
The political ambitions within the USA by Cheney are simply too obvious. Isn't it understandable why the extremes in the Republican Party still exists and will persist?

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his eldest daughter, Liz Cheney, (click here) will deliver the keynote address at the Steamboat Institute Freedom Conference in August.
Rick Akin, vice chairman of the Steamboat Institute board of directors, said the group has been working for years to secure an appearance from the 46th vice president of the United States.
Liz Cheney is a political analyst for Fox News and has served as a deputy assistant secretary of state.
"He's been, as we'd say, in the belly of the beast," Akin said. "He has insights you or I wouldn't have. He has insights some of our speakers who are more academic don't have. The idea is to give a real education in that area."
He said, "Liz Cheney will essentially be interviewing her dad. It's going to be a 'torch is passed to a new generation' kind of theme. I think people will find this very interesting — more interesting than just having the vice president by himself."
The speech is set for Aug. 23. The conference will continue through Aug. 24....
So, while Darth Vader invades the Golan Heights, he is seeking to deceive the electorate to find potential candidates and 'smooth movers' that can lace his agenda in the Middle East with a movement to political success in the USA. There is nothing like a Neocon masked as a Progressive.
There are real reasons Senator Hagel is opposed as Secretary of Defense and it is at the basis of a Neocon agenda. We need to stabilize the nations of Africa and the Mideast facing anarchy and settlements of extremist networks. It needs to be done without declaring war and we need to do it under this administration. Cheney wants his wars.
...But as we reported during the Chuck Hagel confirmation hearing, Blumenthal is a hawk on Israel; he called on Hagel to correct his error of 13 years ago and endorse a letter he had declined to sign in 2000, which was signed by 96 Senators affirming their solidarity with Israel during the Second Intifada. Blumenthal lectured Hagel:
"And I just want to say about that letter: I wasn’t here when the letter was circulated; I would have signed it. But I would certainly join in urging that you reconsider and commit to the statement of support in the letter for the support of Israel. And if it’s appropriate now and applicable to today’s events, I hope you will consider expressing your support for it."...
Currently, President Obama has 100 personnel in Niger. There needs to be a limit to the purpose of this base. It needs to assist nations of Africa toward stability and better quality of life where the governments don't have their own capacity. At no point in time should there be a military installation, so much as an advisement capacity to the State Department. It needs to be explicit there will be no escalation of purpose to this base, so much as an assistance to the stability of nations.
I remind France is in Mali. Obama needs to develop a better military model for Africa. There is not that much firepower in Africa. Why should the USA bring heavy artillary and machines of war to a continent where that does not currently exist? The countries in Africa do not have the capacity to cause a significant war, so why offer it the opportunity? I can see the military sales, dictatorships and invasions now. African nations need to pay attention to other nations invaded by The West to know where their fate lies if they accept credit for sales of munitons and escalation of what is necessary to stabilize their nations.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama (click here) said Friday that about 100 American troops have been deployed to the African nation of Niger. Two U.S. defense officials said the troops would be setting up a base for unarmed drones to conduct surveillance.
Obama announced the deployment in a letter to Congress, saying that the forces "will provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region."....
A Neocon by any other name. The GOP, according to FOX, needs a new savior. He was completely out of line at the National Prayer Breakfast. He was parlayed to incorporation at FOX immediately afterward as if that wasn't suppose to. Amazing what Neocons will do to find a path to war. Here we go again with, "God is on our side."

AFP - The Syrian regime is ready to talk with all parties, including armed rebels, who want dialogue to end the conflict, Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said on Monday at talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
"We are ready for dialogue with all who want dialogue, including those who are carrying arms," Muallem said at the Moscow talks with Lavrov, in an apparent reference to the rebels battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
"We still believe in a peaceful solution to the Syrian problem," said Muallem, pointing to the creation of a government coalition that would negotiate with both the "external and internal opposition."
Lavrov said alongside Muallem that there was no alternative to a political solution to the two-year conflict agreed through talks....
