(September 4, 2013) A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal ran a high profile article from one Elizabeth O’Bagy arguing that the majority of the Syrian rebels were actually moderates.
Senator McCain mentioned Elizabeth O’Bagy’s op-ed during the Senate hearings, when he wasn’t playing poker, and tweeted it. That should come as no surprise, considering that O’Bagy is credited with arranging McCain’s infamous photo op with the Syrian rebel leadership.
The Wall Street Journal lists O’Bagy’s role as the Institute for the Study of War. It leaves out the fact that she is the political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force making her an activist.
O’Bagy doesn’t matter much. She’s a friendly Western face plastered over a foreign organization. Of more interest is Mouaz Moustafa, the smiling man in the Keffiyah on the far right of McCain in this photo.
Mouaz Moustafa is a Palestinian Arab and the Executive Director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force which arranged for McCain’s visit.
Before the Syrian Emergency Task Force, Moustafa was the Executive Director of the Libyan Council of North America, which like the SETF existed to help push regime change. Before that, he mentions working with “rebels” in Egypt. On his Twitter feed, he denounces the overthrow of Morsi making it rather clear which side he was on.
Predating his international period, Mouaz Moustafa did stints as a Field Organizer for the Democratic National Committee and a senate staffer.

Do they watch a lot of Spiderman?
The uniparty has jihadists behind the scenes? Knock me over with a feather.
In theory while it can’t hurt to have foreign agents and advisors from nations of interest, but the problem is our in-country intel is zero, therefore there’s no way to really verify what these “activists” pass to McCain, or how it is being framed by this pair as he receives it.
I don’t know what to make of all these dangerous Arabs influencing our government. Obama has Muslim radicals as advisors practically on the payroll.
Who knew, right? :)
McMuslim on the “Arab Spring” payroll? Pass that feather.
How much is this about stopping the Black Flaggers from taking Baghdad v. over-throwing Assad?
A bit off topic but I am very tired of hearing people, particularly politicians making a difference between radical Islam and so called moderate Islam.
There is no such thing as moderate Islam. The terrorists do exactly what the koran teaches. To conquer, convert, and/or kill all non believers in Mohammad and Allah.
Islam is not a religion. It is no more a religion than scientology is a religion. It is a totalitarian tyrannical ideology that uses a religion like component to brainwash and command its subjects.
If the west is to survive along with light, love, knowledge, truth, advancement, and liberty, an all out campaign must be waged against these blood thirsty savages and those within our borders must be purged or expelled.
We are a nation and a people who have locked ourselves in a sealed garage, with the car engine running, with a bottle of pills in our stomach, slit wrists, with a noose around our throat, on the verge of suicide.
Ive suggested this before....Isalm is not a religion.....it is a gigantic shared rationalization for criminal behavior.
It should not enjoy any of the consideration....or legal standing...that civilized people accord “religion”.
The Bahai “Agenda 21 people”....who consider themselves “progressive”incorporate islam into their teachings.......in fact it is at the core....now exactly how delusional can powerful,influential,educated people get?
Isalm is obviously a neurosis shared by 1/4 of the worlds population. It is NOT religion.
“here junior....how would you like to just do what ever you want to anyone that doesnt agree with you?”....Doesnt that sound fun?...Yep...you can lie,rape,steal,kill....anyone who doesnt agree with you.....from now on...and be Justified in doing these things....TA-DA
Its recipe for social dysfunction ....and given all the perks of religion....In several civilized countries.
It has a strong draw for power-centric people.....so does bahai....and...in each country where does one find a collection of the most power mad people who might appreciate this sort of doctrine ?......In positions of power.
So there is only ONE way that I can identify to dull the impact and eventually alleviate this social catastrophe ......
The women of islam must be free....
baconisgooddogsarenicewomenarepeople
With exposure to the west they see these things every day...
sometimes just through a little eye-slit type thing....but still......These things need to be promoted....These things could have an effect....
I wanted to ad “driving is fun”...but its sort-of long already...
Ive been a construction worker most of my life...never made a web-site before..but I made this one....Its all paid for...but its really not very good....yet....If anyone thinks they can help build it....Please...contact me....Thank you all for letting me read your thoughts for the last 15 yrs?
Therapsid-therapsida....danka
The purpose of obamaumao’s speech tonight is to cover up his incompetence and protect democratic seats, and to get money for the continued support of the Syrian spring, which the US funded and shipped arms from Benghazi to the “rebels” (moderate or otherwise despite this PR effort and before). McCain and Graham still support ISIS iow (where or where is General Petraeus?). The “rebels” were and are ISIS, and are Sunni muslims. Assad is aligned/protecting Iranian interests in Syria, while his ruling family is not muslim. An idiotic comment by obamaumao that ISIS(L) is not islamic— what an octomaroon to deliver that whopper.
The outfit calling the shots here is the same one that called them in Iraq I and II— the House of Saud, who cannot tolerate an ascendant Iran in petropolitics, and who at home deals with their own muslim brotherhood problems and anti-Saud terrorists by FUNDING them (paying them off) while infiltrating them. So these outfits which are a danger to the US, are still in place even as we dance to the Saudi’s tune.
Where is Israel in all this? Involved in the long tenuous relationship with the Saudis to effect this kind of policy and shield itself within the policy surrounded on all sides by the “brotherhood”. Lindsay Grahamnesty and John McInsane, along with Boehner are the little trio RINO choir providing cover to obamaumao, and concomitantly they all are carrying water for our “eager to sell” to the US military industrial complex. This is not Rand Paulistic analysis— this is historical and activity related analysis. (should have heard Glen Beck this AM- what a loon)
We “leave” afghanistan having achieved... what? Bin Laden dead (nope that was in Paki), rare earth metals protected from the chicoms getting them (who knows— they probably did), regime change with Karzai gone and a better heroin pipeline to Marseille? ( and don’t forget the French oil pipeline running through afghan—definitely the French are happy as is the EU with the new suppliers). And now we rotate back to Iraq—when we should have left an occupying force and intel in place as originally planned to keep an eye on the nascent iraqi security forces now being gobbled by ISIS. Sunni ex-Baathists against Iraqi wars Shiite survivors (remember Maliki has left- he was a shiite).
So it goes— more hardware to sell. But no “boots on the ground” ... not yet. LOL.
