1) Canada yesterday announced the withdrawal of its coalition soldiers from Afghanistan. The mass news media in the USA has not carried this decision.
2) President Obama announced suddenly today that we are now going to drill oil in formerly restricted offshore areas. This counters his campaign promises and alienates part of his base.
The timing of the two messages is this.
1. Canada does not want to be on the ground in Afghanistan when war spreads to Iran, so it finds itself at war with a country that has not harmed it.
2. The USA put Iran on notice that we do not need its oil if we go to war with it.
The fallout will include the following:
1. The military draft will return to the USA.
2. Terrorism against the USA will escalate inside and outside the USA.
3. Distraction of the American people from the economic Depression on its way.
We are closer to danger today, March 31, 2010 than most Americans realize.
