Doing Others' Bidding

United States Navy barges are now being used to bring fresh water to attempt to cool the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant. While the American government has routinely delivered aid around the world to people struck by disasters, this is really going beyond the call as such an action is likely to expose US military personnel to contact with dangerous radiation. Performing this gallant act is hardly an essential American interest, anymore than bombing Qaddafi forces is a US strategic necessity. No claim may be made that our action in Libya was initiated for self-defense. What is our strategic interest in helping Libyan rebels who may also be active members of al-Qaeda, who under every other circumstance are intent on murdering Americans? Has Barack Hussein Obama been snookered by Nicolas Sarkosy and David Cameron whose nations may make economic headway in Libya if they force the departure of or kill Muammar Qaddafi? If so, then someone should ask what is in this for the United States? On the domestic front, whose bidding are Democrats doing except labor unions, particularly public sector unions and a few corporate and individual cronies? How close is the relationship between the Obama administration and George Soros who some claim has privy access afforded to the very few? How has GE been able to make billions in profit and avoid taxes while other corporations are soaked? Could some quid pro quo exist between General Electric and Team Obama that is being kept close to the vest? Where are all the conspiracy theorists who were yelling "Halliburton" during the last President Bush's administration yelling "GE" now? Why is the dinosaur media not pressing Obama on this the way they hounded Bush?
