resident Obama’s foreign policy has not only been a disaster, it’s been a disgrace. The man who campaigned to “restore America’s image abroad” has utterly failed to do so. Not even Iran views the United States more favorably since he came into office, and he sent the Iranians $150 billion in terrorism funding and permission to build a nuclear bomb. He calls it legacy building; the Mullahs call it capitulation. They love that we capitulated, but they still hate us.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, ISIS is spreading like a cold on a plane. Meanwhile the intelligence reports on the ISIS march are being cooked so as to not contradict the decrees of the president. If President Obama decided the sun rises in the west, someone in the White House would demand Earth’s rotation be reversed.
In spite of the president’s desires, the situation in the Middle East remains a disaster.
When Obama pulled all US troops out of an unstable Iraq over a campaign pledge to his extreme base, he ignored the best interests of national and world security. With no counterbalance, and a meaningless red line crossed, radical Muslims were emboldened and empowered. Countless lives lost later, anarchy and evil reign.
ISIS was allowed to grow and thrive because the idea of admitting it was growing and thriving was just too unappealing to this administration. Now a few tens of thousands of terrorists are driving millions from their homes.
This refugee crisis is, in large part, the fault of the president’s unwillingness to lead and to acknowledge the threat Islamic terrorism poses to the civilized world. He can’t be expected to fight it when he can’t bring himself to properly speak of it.
Much of the blame for the refugee crisis lies at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but some lies with the refugees themselves. Millions of refugees, 72 percent of whom are men, have fled somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 ISIS fighters. Why?
What responsibility do the refugees have to defend themselves and their homeland? Some, at a minimum, though much more in reality.
Rather than making arrangements to absorb and financially support those fleeing ISIS, they should be armed and their march reversed.
We’ve heard for decades how the United States can’t be the world’s police force; neither can it be its lifeboat. The same goes for Western Europe.
When a country goes to hell, it is the responsibility of its citizens to correct it. The world can and should help, but the ultimate responsibility does not abate. The citizens of Syria and the Middle East in general have chosen to cede their responsibility to others, to wrap themselves in the West. It should not be allowed to happen.
When we were colonies, our Founding Fathers faced a similar choice, though with a much less bloodthirsty foe. The British monarchy was tyrannical, just as ISIS is, but unlike ISIS, it wasn’t enacting genocide. With less of a threat but just as much to lose, the colonists fought for their liberty. Outnumbered and outgunned, they risked everything so their fellow countrymen might be free. That should be the example for these refugees.
They need to be armed and supported from the air, something the president doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to do but Europe may. Were nearly any other person president, the concept of aiding in the fight against unadulterated evil wouldn’t require discussion. A true leader would rally the free nations of the world to the cause of crushing the wicked. But we don’t have a true leader; we have an occupant.
As such, this is an opportunity for a new leader to emerge on the world stage. England, German, France, now is your time. To one degree or another, you’ve always resented American dominance. Step up.
It is an unfortunate truth that Barack Obama is not your ally in the cause of liberty and justice, but he will be only a verbal and inconsequential foe. Learn what the despots of the world have learned – the current president of the United States will not have your back, but he won’t stop you from acting either.
He may give a speech, maybe make a phone call. But his quiver only contains the weapons of a community organizer. His words ultimately are all he has, and we’ve heard them all before. It’s time for someone else to lead, at least until he’s gone.
The United States will regain its position as the leader of the free world eventually. Until then the man who wanted to “fundamentally transform” the country will be content to offer our tax dollars to un-vetted, foreign nationals without addressing the cause of their need. But confronting and destroying the cause of their need is the best way, the only way, to ensure that need ends.
Refugees exponentially outnumber the ISIS army they seek to escape, but asylum should not be granted. They have a homeland, and they should be aided and encouraged to reclaim it and their religion from those who would destroy both.
What is this guy smoking? The so-called refugees won’t go back. They want to invade the West and conquer it, gobbling up some nice welfare goodies along the way.
It is time for conservatives to admit that this chaos didn’t start with Obama, even though he is happy to continue it. Saddam was the glue that held Iraq together, and Bush stupidly removed him. The resulting civil war was predictable. There wasn’t a snowball’s chance of Iraq ever becoming a nicey-nice western style democracy. Nobody wants to admit that because of all the great people we lost in this futile endeavor. All those who pushed for this invasion should hang their heads in shame.
The author can't seem to grasp reality. There is a mass migration from the Third World to the first world. People don't see any hope or future in the corrupt, poverty-stricken hellholes they live in. They come from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. ISIS is just a proximate cause for one group of refugees.
Thanks to technology and global communications, the poor can see how the developed countries live. They want a piece of it for themselves and their families. Asylum is just one of the vehicles they are using to invade the first world. They do it illegally and legally. They play on the guilt of the wealthy who feel obliged to provide space on the lifeboat. As it continues, the refugees will swamp the boat taking all of us with them.
How many will want to go home after living in the first world? Or as they used to say during WWI, how are you gonna keep them down on the farm once they've seen Paree'?
You have to read more than just the title. Nowhere did he say they would go back to where they come from
They aren’t going to go anywhere. Why would they? They have their eyes on plundering Europe.
Iraq was stabilized even if started for the wrong reason. Obama surrendered it to Isis.
Let them go BACK to those “stinking hell holes” and clean out the tyrants. You know, like OUR folks did starting in 1775!
HALTING THE IMMIGRATION INVASION OF THE WEST!
Pack ALL the muzzies among them back aboard a ship or train BACK to whereverthehell they came from along with a rifle and 500 rounds of ammo for each military age individual — male and female — and any older men who want to fight for their freedom.
During the trip back, REQUIRE them to watch a short video of the sort linked below (with subtitles in their language).

Once offloaded, and under armed military control to prevent them from turning the weapons on their “liberators”, pass out the weapons and ammo with a map pointing out where current satellite images indicate the folks they’ve fled are located, pat them on the back and wish them luck!
If you see some risk that these guys are, in fact, BAD guys and giving them weapons and ammo might be a big mistake as they would be used against the good guys, compared to what obozo left behind and the Iraqis ABANDONED to ISIS – 2,300 yes, TWENTY THREE HUNDRED, HUMVEES and other combat vehicles and only God knows how much other stuff – a few thousand more M16s in the hands of ISIS is a drop in the bucket!
BTW, why wouldn’t that work for the Mexican and Central American illegals here? Only difference is that the folks they need to take out are the crooked politicians and drug cartels now running – and, just like here – RUINING their homelands?
Derek, Derek, Derek. These “refugees” are populations mobilized by Obama’s asymmetric war on the West. He works to arm AQ/MB/ISIS et al, overthrowing countries and destabilizes populations both here and abroad, weaponizing them. It is deliberate.
This is a direct and foreseeable consequence of Obama’s “Arab Spring” actions. He is a radical waging war against The West. He has had assistance from Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and others.
That was a temporary lull in the fighting. There was no way the 2 factions were going to remain at peace without a strongman to enforce it. Maliki was just as bad as Saddam, and it didn’t take long for others to oppose him. The idea of a peaceful Muslim country with a reasonable rule of law is a myth.
The current flood of migrants are performing a doctrinal hijrah - migration, demographic/economic jihad as set by the example of their prophet Muhammed, in preparation for war.
This also follows the plan enforced by the UN and EU:

...and which has been reposted at BBC several times since 2012 according to this wayback machine chart.
All according to plan....
"The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan – The genocide of the Peoples of Europe. “To achieve One World Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, their loyalty to family traditions and national identification.” - Brock Chisholm, when director of the UN World Health Organization.
Here is the wiki entry on Richard Nikolaus von Coudenhove-Kalergi
Select Quotes:
"Coudenhove-Kalergi is recognized as the founder of the first popular movement for a united Europe." "In politics, he was an enthusiastic supporter of "fourteen points" made by Woodrow Wilson on 8 January 1918 and pacifist initiatives of Kurt Hiller."
&
"His original vision was for a world divided into only five states"..."Pan-Europe would encompass and extend a more flexible and more competitive Austria-Hungary, with English serving as world language, spoken by everyone in addition to his native tongue."
...
"His wartime politics and peripeties served as the real life basis for fictional Resistance hero Victor Laszlo, the Paul Henreid character in Casablanca."
...
"Speaking at the first EPU conference, Coudenhove-Kalergi argued that the constitution of a wide market with a stable currency was the vehicle for Europe to reconstruct its potential and take the place it deserves within the concert of Nations."..."In 1955, he proposed the Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as the music for the European Anthem,[37] a suggestion that the Council of Europe took up 16 years later."
Our folks were British subjects imbued with the values of Western civilization and political thinkers like Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, etc. They believed in natural rights and the limits placed on government by such documents as the Magna Carta.

LOL. They are inviting more in.
“Millions of refugees, 72 percent of whom are men, have fled somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 ISIS fighters.”
Any politician who allows his country to be invaded by these cowards should be locked up with these selfish refuges then deported with them .... who have obviously abandoned their own mothers and sisters to seek asylum in the West.
Sickens me
——Maliki was just as bad as Saddam,
A force of US military remaining in Iraq would have restrained Maliki’s tendencies. Somehow it worked in Germany, Japan, and Korea.
——....idea of a peaceful Muslim country with a reasonable rule of law is a myth.
With Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood-Green Revolution orientation, we’ll never know.
This sort of thing seems to be habitual for the United States. Congress did it to Vietnam.
The Iraq War could have been a success if we had done it as some of us expected a reasoning strategically minded Republican President would surely do it. What was needed was a permanent large military complex in the heart of the Moslem Middle East to be financed with Iraqi oil. Bush seems to have started to do something like that but got sidetracked by hearts-and-minds crap and the inevitable failure that entails.
It is not a “myth,” it is fatuous.
Give them all small arms and ammo and geographically restrict them to the Arab Spring countries and Syria-Iran-Iraq. The population inflation will reverse in the Middle East.
In "retrospect", we needed a robust occupation on the lines of post WWII. And I agree, with that probably comes a permanent presence. In a vital strategic region. But I'd disagree that GWB started that. He listened to the wrong advisors, and throughout the region seems to have had a rather rosy view of "democracy", that throw off the tyrants, these countries will swarm to freedom and capitalism rather than sharia and mayhem. I wish he'd been right, but the stage was set before the invasion.
Alternatively, let the Europeans carve out a safe zone. Provide them heavy arms and support. They’ll need support and training to stand up to Iranian backed forces. It is a European problem, one they should be able to handle. Or NATO, we can provide some funding, but it’s Europe being overrun, they need to be willing to fight.
This guy is an utter loon! They won’t be made to leave and won’t go except at gunpoint, which no one will point.
