Here is my quickie, rough translation of part of the original Paris Match interview:

Barack Obama: "I want to dialogue directly with Iran and Syria. We will not stabilize the area if we do not speak to our enemies.."

How will you begin to improve the image of the United States in the world? Barack Obama. It is necessary to end the war in Iraq. Occupying this country puts us in opposition to the entire world. Similarly, it is necessary to close Guantanamo and offer the prisoners there a legal framework in which they can be judged.

I also want, once elected, to organize a meeting in the Muslim world, with all the Heads of State, to discuss frankly how to bridge the divide between Islam and the West, which becomes greater every day. I want to ask them to join our anti-terrorism efforts. We must also listen to their concerns.

I also want us to take the lead in fields like climate change, which the Bush administration has neglected for so long, and which worries the world. If we show that we are in the forefront of climatic change and nuclear non-proliferation, then we will receive in exchange greater co-operation in the areas which concern us....

How do you plan to get out of Iraq? Barak Obama: I would begin withdrawing our troops as quickly as possible, at the rate of one or two brigades per month. That would enable us to leave Iraq about 2009. This would send a signal to the Iraqis that we will not remain forever....

REALLY!!!

I sometimes wonder why in the heck we are forced to study history in school! The excuse “otherwise we are doomed to repeat it,” is meaningless because our leaders keep repeating it regardless of having a infinite knowledge of history.

A Muslim wants to talk to Muslims. Not a surprise!

He should go over there today and walk the streets with his hand out for peace. In fact, he should take the rest of the Liberals in DC with him. They won’t last ten minutes.

Isn’t there another candidate who wants a meeting, an alliance, with “moderate muslim countries”? Can’t think of the name right now.

***

They all do - Every politician, every phoney baloney religious leader, much of the media etc is calling for and involved in and with an Alliance of Civilizations. They’ve all gotten their marching orders from the top and are in complete compliance with, they are all on the same universalistic, globalist, religious page - Be sure of it. They are all suffering great delusions that there will be world peace. It ain’t gonna happen.

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Oh Hussein can you see?
By the dawah's early light,
What so proudly we hailed,
Al taqiyya's last gleaming?

This is only one of the reasons I hope Osama is the Dem candidate. He's unelectible. Hillary is electible.

I believe this is why Rush is banging away at Hillary incessantly while leaving Hussein relatively unscathed.

Pleeeeeeeze let him be the nominee. We’ll get the largest landslide victory ever in the general election if he is. The man is unelectable.

Yes, it’s all our fault. We must be the ones to reach out these peace=loving nations and their religion.

The 911 conspiracy theorists must be right.

"The only way America will ever be defeated by death-worshipping theocrats who've crawled out from under a Dark Ages rock is with the help of the mullahs' fifth column - academia, the media, the judiciary, public education, Hollywood and the Democratic Party.

Of the two suicide cults America confronts, liberalism is by far the more lethal."

He’s insane. If this guy get’s elected, we might as well all go pick out our prayer rugs and learn to get on all fours five times a day. I think I’d like a red and green rug...will remind me of Christmas once the Obama administration bans it...

What would the Muslims gain from such a summit, besides a toehold? A little Sharia law jurisdiction. Maybe some territory from which to lob rockets at Americans.
And of course moral equivalence.

This is why I tell people every day that Obama al-Husseni is 100 times worse than Hillary.
