on The West Wing:

The West Wing’s Republican National Committee (RNC) talked to president Barack Obama about future military actions that he is planning on taking in South America because of a lust for lithium which hybrid car battery’s need. He plans on using military force and make himself look better by holding true to his promise of having majority hybrid cars.

They strongly disagree with president Barack Obama and his plan of using military action. Their committee believes that the commander and chief is both over using his powers and he has an unethical motive behind attacking Ecuador.

The reason for problems in South America is the diplomatic issue between Ecuador and the U.S government. A small private business has recently bought land from their country. Searches were conducted there for lithium deposits and mass quantity of lithium was found. The president wants this lithium desperately and is using terrorist groups as a reason to send in troops according to the West Wing.

The RNC doesn’t agree with the president’s decision to use military action against Ecuador. They believe that the President is using the problem in Ecuador to make his own gains. The reason for this is that there could be a trade agreement between the private business and the United States government. This would be by far the best solution according to the republican national convention.

Obama is saying that military action needs to be taken because Ecuador is supposedly supplying the Columbian terrorist group called the F.A.R.C. The F.A.R.C are currently responsible for a large majority of drug trade in many areas of South America. However the F.A.R.C. are now considered no more than an extremely small group and has recently lost a lot of their power. The president is supposedly only sending in military troops and guarantee the loss of American soldiers lives to look good on obtaining lithium and holding true to his promise.
