Signaling Centrist Foreign Policy
BYLINE: Angus Robertson
LENGTH: 470 words
Nov. 25, 2008 (Research Recap delivered by Newstex) -- Early signs from President-elect Barack Obamas cabinet nominations are that he will be conducting foreign policy from the center, says Stratfors George Friedman. Freidman notes that Obamas anticipated nominee for Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, voted to authorize the Iraq war ” a major bone of contention between Obama and her during the primaries.
She is also a committed free trade advocate, as was her husband, and strongly supports continuity in U.S. policy toward Israel and Iran. Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner comes from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he participated in crafting the strategies currently being implemented by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Everything Obama is doing with his appointments is signaling continuity in U.S. policy. Obama supporters believed that Obamas position on Iraq was profoundly at odds with the Bush administrations. We could never clearly locate the difference. The brilliance of Obamas presidential campaign was that he convinced his hard-core supporters that he intended to make a radical shift in policies across the board, without ever specifying what policies he was planning to shift, and never locking out the possibility of a flexible interpretation of his commitments. His supporters heard what they wanted to hear while a careful reading of the language, written and spoken, gave Obama extensive room for maneuver. To those who celebrate Obama as a conciliator, these appointments will resonate. For those supporters who saw him as a fellow ideologue, he can point to position papers far more moderate and nuanced than what those supporters believed they were hearing (and were meant to hear). His appointments match the evolving realities. On the financial bailout, Obama has not at all challenged the general strategy of Paulson and Bernanke, and therefore of the Bush administration. Obamas position on Iraq has fairly well merged with the pending Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq. One point we have made repeatedly is that a presidential candidates positions during a campaign matter relatively little, because there is only a minimal connection between the issues a president thinks he will face in office and the ones that he actually has to deal with. As for policies, they come and go. As George W. Bush demonstrated, an inflexible president is a failed president. He can call it principle, but if his principles result in failure, he will be judged by his failure and not by his principles. Obama has clearly learned this lesson. start wp-tags-to-technorati 0.95 Technorati Tags: bailout, Barack Obama, economic-policy, foreign policy, transition2008 end wp-tags-to-technorati Newstex ID: RERE-0001-29891933

'We Are Going To Catch Them Dead Or Alive' Declares Home Minister in Mumbai
LENGTH: 403 words
Nov. 27, 2008 (Digital Journal delivered by Newstex) -- R R Patil, home minister for Maharashtra state, told reporters, "An attack on Mumbai is an attack on the rest of the country."As the fighting continues, reports are surfacing on aspects of the attack.Authorities have said that the attackers had first made their way to the Taj hotel on an inflatable boat, according to a report in Al Jazeera."We have been told that there were 12 people [on the boat]; they split up into smaller groups and then went off to the various locations were the attacks took place," James Wright, reporting for Al Jazeera, said.."They kept shouting: 'Who has US or UK passports?'" said Ashok Patel, a British citizen who fled from the Taj Mahal.A Jewish rabbi and his family are also thought to be under threat after gunmen stormed the building in which they were staying.
AFP reported the following eye witness reports:One British guest at the Taj, Rakesh Patel, said he had been among a dozen people herded together by two heavily armed men and taken up to the hotel's upper floors."They were very young, like boys really, wearing jeans and T-shirts," the guest said."They said they wanted anyone with British and American passports and then they took us up the stairs. I think they wanted to take us to the roof," he said, adding that he and another hostage managed to escape on the 18th floor.British businessman Alex Chamberlain told the Sky network that similar national profiling had been conducted by the gunmen in the Oberoi."They told everybody to stop and put their hands up and asked if there were any British or Americans. My friend said to me, 'don't be a hero, don't say you are British'," Chamberlain said.One Japanese was among the dead, the foreign ministry in Tokyo said, while at least two Australians were injured.Blog Wiredhas posted an amalgam of reports, some given during the battle. A photo of the gore at a rail station depicts the mayhem and fear during one of the attacks.The BBC has also published a gallery of photographs that will no doubt be updated as the siege continues.Stratfor has published a frightening report of how the Mumbai attacks could result in a war between India and Pakistan which could easily draw in the USA.While the fighting continues and the fate of the hostages remains in question, the Art of Diplomacy will be put to harsh test.More to follow.
