We Are Witnessing the Collapse of the Middle East
American Thinker ^ | February 3, 2011 | James Simpson

Posted on 02/03/2011 5:48:40 PM PST by NCjim

If Egypt should fall, it will mark the beginning of the end for what little remaining stability there is in the Middle East. Jordan is facing similar unrest, as are Algeria and Yemen. Lebanon and Tunisia fell in January. It is highly unlikely that these events are unrelated. A combination of leftist and Islamist forces provoked the protests, and we are likely looking at a ring of radical Islamic states rising up to surround Israel. Once their power is solidified, perhaps in a year or two, they will combine forces to attack Israel. If Israel falls, the United States will stand alone in a sea of virulent enemies and impotent allies.

So whom does Obama support, Mubarak or his enemies?

Obama wasted no time in telling us. He supports Mubarak's opponents, and he probably has been all along. The Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday that the Obama administration favors a role for the Muslim Brotherhood in a new Egyptian government.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the oldest extremist Muslim organization, is behind practically every Muslim terrorist organization ever formed. And while they may have publicly renounced violence as the LA Times article claims, internal documents tell a completely different story.

And if that weren't bad enough, Obama's latest comment to Egypt's leader is that "an orderly transition ... must begin now."

Must begin. Now.

Simply stunning.

Juxtapose Obama's statements toward our allies with his reaction to the genuine uprising that occurred last year in Iran. Tunisia: "Reform or be overthrown." Egypt: "an orderly transition ... must begin now." Iran: "It is not productive ... to be seen as meddling." Meanwhile, candidate Obama claimed that the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezb'allah have "legitimate claims," and we all remember his mindless counterterrorism czar, John Brennan, reaching out to "moderate" Hezb'allah members last spring. Hezb'allah moderates?

The seeming inconsistency is astonishing. Unfortunately, there is a consistency. Obama uniformly sides with our enemies but rarely, if ever, with our friends and allies. His administration is packed with far-left radicals and vicious anti-Semites. And therein lies the rub, because what we are witnessing in reality is this president's un-American, anti-American, treasonous ideology in full play.

Perhaps this is the real reason for Bill Ayers's, Bernardine Dohrn's, Code Pink's Medea Benjamin's and Jody Evans's trips to Egypt in 2009. Following those trips, these same people made multiple visits to the White House.

Obama's breathlessly arrogant answer? Not the same Ayers, Dohrn, Benjamin, and Evans. Sure.

A few years back, I cited a quote by Lynn Stewart, the National Lawyers Guild attorney jailed for helping blind sheikh Omar Adel Raman foment terror from his New York jail cell. One might think that atheistic radical leftists would be foursquare against a political movement that tramples women's rights, murders homosexuals, and enforces strict theocratic mandates. No such luck, Stewart said:

They [radical Islamic movements] are basically forces of national liberation. And I think that we, as persons who are committed to the liberation of oppressed people, should fasten on the need for self-determination. ... My own sense is that, were the Islamists to be empowered, there would be movements within their own countries ... to liberate.

" ... movements within their own countries ... to liberate." Given recent developments, Stewart's statement was prescient. But I think it had a special meaning. Because when movement leftists like Stewart talk about "liberation," they are really talking about communism.

It has been my longstanding assertion that Muslim terrorism is simply a false flag operation, managed in the background by our main enemies, Russia and Red China. Almost since the beginning, Muslim terrorist organizations have been supported and nurtured by the Soviet Union or its Middle Eastern surrogates.

Yasser Arafat's PLO is a prime example. Created by the KGB, the PLO was always about providing a Soviet counterweight to Israel in the Middle East. They were uninterested in the Palestinian cause, and they said so! Alexander Litvinenko, the KGB defector poisoned by Polonium 210 in what was assumed to be a KGB hit, claimed in his book, Allegations, that al-Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was a Soviet agent. And while today Hezb'allah is the de facto ruler of Lebanon, the real power is Ba'athist Syria.

David Horowitz wrote of the alliance between leftists and Muslim terrorists in his seminal book: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left. He describes in detail how the left and Muslim radicals work together to achieve their mutual ends: the destruction of America.

It is incomprehensible that President Obama does not recognize the strategic significance of what is happening, and if he does, then his support of Egypt's sham "democracy movement" is a naked betrayal of our Middle Eastern allies and, by extension, our own country.

Unfortunately, his view is shared by some Republicans who are so in love with the idea of "democracy" that it doesn't matter to them that the "democrats" in this case include fanatic mass murderers. At best, it can be seen only as incredibly myopic and ignorant to support Mubarak's enemies. People make the same mistake Carter did with Iran and Nicaragua: they commit the logical error of assuming that just because a country's current leadership is flawed and "undemocratic," that automatically means that someone else would do better. Newsflash: they can do worse, and almost without exception, they do, because people who take power by street riot have no interest in "democracy."

If their street revolutions are successful, these Middle Eastern countries will rapidly degenerate into radical Muslim thugocracies allied with our communist enemies. Israel will be the first target, and with Obama's radically anti-Israel orientation, the Israelis will stand alone. We will be next. One wonders if Obama will then stand to defend the country he swore to, or if he will be out in the streets with his fellow radical leftists burning American flags.

And the 500 lb Gorilla in the room, is Bush’s Iraqui Freedom....with one hell of an Army, trained by the USA.

Not sure what this means, but it’s a hellava lot better than Egypt or Iran, at this point in time.

Israel can whip the rabble rousers, if they’re threatened. And in 2012, possibly earlier, Obamabi will be playing golf and playing in the woods.

I am stunned by the general publics lack of concern over these events.

I have spoken with PHDs who don’t see the danger.

The Samson option will ensure that if Israel falls there will be a ring of states surrounding Israel that are radioactive cinders. I think they have mastered thermonuclear designs and have a small supply of very powerful weapons and lots of smaller ones.

Israel has several excellent targets that do not even need nukes. Consider the results of the collapse of the Aswan dam. Most everything in Egypt is located very close to the Nile river.

And, of course, the Kaaba in Mecca won't move at all. Easy target for a high yield weapon. the possibilities are almost endless.

Excellent article.

Under Obozo’s displays of weakness, the Muzzie BroHood and the rest of the terrorists will continue to create their caliphate.

By the time Obozo leaves office in 2012, God willing, it could look very bad in the Middle East and other parts of the EU.

Just what will the USA do if Saudi Arabia sees these same “demokratic” protests? What will the pretender in the White House do if a trucked in Nuke goes off in Tel Aviv?

This is NOT GOOD. Stock up on rations and ammo people.

Yea, yea, but something is STILL missing in the Middle East, they borrowed planes without Guns to attach the USA.

Never START a war without a Navy and an Air Force. Bring it, the eye in the sky will be watching, and Ben Laden is lonely in his Cave.

"Mecca soon to be a glassed over parking lot."

pRes_ _ent Obama is MUCH more likely to nuke
directly, or through his enabled terrorists, American cities.

The question will very shortly be:
Will the US military respect the Constitution and their Oath
or the undocumented Kenyan-Communist Ikhwan-supporting Dictator.

Nothing.

Nothing.

With Egypt, Yemen, and Jordan gone it's only a matter of time before it happens in Saudi Arabia.

My copy of the book says that will not happen. I have more faith in it than in any man, or in any Commie Muzzie whatever they are. The question is what part will we play in the battle. If Obozo precipitates this by siding with our enemies as it appears, how will "We the People" react? Obozo has aready stated

I truly fear for our nation and at the same time feel nothing but hatred for those who voted for this communist islamist into office.
