Thanks very much for posting. Yeah, I saw that comment and I just revisited the rest of the comments.

Did you happen to see Eastview’s post on page 2...here...

In another JW story (can’t find it now), another commenter posted a link to a very disturbing document published by the US Muslim-Engagement Project at http://www.usmuslimengagement.org. On the right of the page there is a link to a document titled “Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S. Relations With the Muslim World.” The Project includes the leadership group members Madeleine Albright, Richard Armitage and Ziad Asali, and many others, such as Ingrid Matson, who are well known to JW readers.

This document, published in January 2007, describes a world view of Islam based on economic privation and Western aggression as the principal causes of Muslim ailments, and is completely void of any of the religious factors JW readers are familiar with. It embraces many of the Leftist concepts of Muslims as victims so beloved by the U.N. and our State Department — and uses some of the same language Obama has used in his recent statements.

I am left to wonder if this is the blueprint Obama is using for his new approach to the ME. If so, then one might expect to see those members of the leadership group assume increasingly important roles in Obama’s reach to the Muslim world.

Highly recommended, but also very disturbing, reading for a hint of possible things to come. Essential reading for those who take Sun-Tzu’s advice to heart: Know your enemy.

...VERY disturbing if you know some of the players featured at that link. Many thanks to jihadwatch poster Eastview!
