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.
BFL.
The democrats wanted to institute the draft a few year ago. Republicans stopped them by forcing their agenda into the open at that time. Now we have propaganda regarding a horrific event and there will be a draft...a draft of the liberal left nuts thinking their going to bring freedom to the ME.
The military needs to act sooner, not later.
Egypt= Iran 2.0, with Barak Obama as Jimmy Carter.
Which should be comforting - we can see how it will play out.
Tool of the anti-christ...and one day will be in the lowest bowels of hell.
Well said.
There is a strong chance that Israel will soon be no more and the blame is on Obama and every voter who voted for him.
Whenever I find myself reading a post and saying to myself “ this person actually gets it”. I look down to see who the poster is and everytime-it is you! Spot on everytime, mate.
Chaos in the Muslim world might be a good thing. Particularly in Iran. Not so much in Saudi Arabia.
You’re right, but a couple of years is actually moving quickly on this sort of timeline. It takes a nation as rich, technologically powerful, economically powerful, and militarily powerful as the United States to project power on a 6 month schedule, and even that is limited.

I am stealing it.
The Chinese might not back the Muslims, but if they do, it will only to turn thsoe countries into fully collapsed backwaters and then they (the Chinese) will be able to take over, under the guise of restoring order. The Russians strike me as the type that will be on our side when Obama is out of office and they are dealing with someone who will be a reliable ally and also someone who won’t be weak.
Sadly, almost none of them.

Possibly true, but, don't worry; they'll find a way to rationalize the blame back to "Bush's Fault".
I wonder if there's a connection between the sudden violent uprisings throughout the Mideast and the Stuxnet virus. Sounds far-fetched, I know. But before Stuxnet infected their centrifuges, Iran was close to having nuclear weapons which they undoubtedly would have used to destroy Israel. Stuxnet gummed up the works. As soon as Iran cleans up one infection they get hit with a new variant.
I'm sure Iran has a specific timetable in mind for the Caliphate to form. Perhaps December 2012? Hey, it was good enough for the Mayans. And it fits the timing laid out in the article: "...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 so, it means Israel's deployment of Stuxnet just forced Iran to change their tactic from nuclear annihilation of Israel to a more traditional ground game of surrounding and squeezing Israel out of existence.
The problem with their demented designs is that Israel cannot be wiped out, it’s impossible. A literal impossiblity. It’s supposed ot be there in the End Times and I don’t think we’re quite there yet.
A liberal is and always a liberal first, and always first.
We have our own liberals that hate this country...
Explained?

Israel won’t fall....
You too. We need to wake up the Freepers that are not yet aware. This is the most aware site I know of.
