Secret Report Ordered by Obama Identified Potential Uprisings
NYT ^ | 2/16/11 | Mark Landler

WASHINGTON — President Obama ordered his advisers last August to produce a secret report on unrest in the Arab world, which concluded that without sweeping political changes, countries from Bahrain to Yemen were ripe for popular revolt, administration officials said Wednesday.

Mr. Obama’s order, known as a Presidential Study Directive, identified likely flashpoints, most notably Egypt, and solicited proposals for how the administration could push for political change in countries with autocratic rulers who are also valuable allies of the United States, these officials said.

“...Do the CBS reporters and Oprah and all these other jerk offs in Hollywood ...”

What they fail to realize, enmeshed in their enlightened, rational, and smarter-than-the-rest-of-humanity way of thinking, is that the Mooj view them as useful idiots - tools to achieve an end. They’ll be first on the chopping block if the Mooj have their way. Liberalism is anthithetical to islam, as islam is antithetical to liberty, freedom, and well, just plain sanity....

To the lib mind - “better to be the guard than the guarded”.

They’re just too stupid to understand what’s coming down on them.

I tend to think of it more in terms of AVG (Chenault’s group) or those who flew in England prior to WWII. True Americans will never abandon our true allies.

Not happy to destroy the USA alone, he looks in ways to destabilize any regime that is favorable to the USA in support to replace that with an Islamic state.

They call it democracy, but it is anarchy, and we know how dominant forces fill the gap in power vacuums in the ME.

Democracy is mob rule. Two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. There IS democracy at work in Egypt. It's just not going to be very pleasant for the few sheep left over there.

I’d go in a heartbeat.

I ran the same mobile missle artillery the Israelis use today in GWI. I kept fit.

Hell, I’d go join some crappy harassment group to snipe in muslim countries.

I’m just beyond the point of return.

I do not believe one damn word of that report. The president clearly had no idea on what had happened, why it happened or what to do. This release of this supposed report is simply an effort to make people think he was involved and aware. He is not.

I am of a different mindset. I think the community organizer knew full well what the plan of the coalition of community organizers on the ground in Egypt was as he facilitated it.

In my opinion, the apparent confusion evidenced was a result of him having to serve two opposing masters at the same time.

He was wearing two hats --one, the public hat, was the protector of American interests and supporter of American allies hat --the other, the deceitful hat, was the community organizing Islamic socialist freedom fighter for the oppressed masses over the oppressive Christian capitalist pigs hat.

Although he successfully threw our Egyptian ally under the bus he failed to carry off the charade and exposed himself for all to see...

I guarantee our allies and our enemies BOTH learned something seeing this orchestrated dog and pony show unfold...

He identified the problem, shrugged his shoulders, and went to play golf. What a leader.

WASHINGTON — President Obama ordered his advisers last August [2010] to produce a secret report on unrest in the Arab world, which concluded that without sweeping political changes, countries from Bahrain to Yemen were ripe for popular revolt, administration officials said Wednesday.

Also in August 2010:

AAAN's director Hatem Abudayyeh had visited the White House in August 2010 to discuss concerns of the Arab-American community. Abudayyeh runs the non-profit U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), which was registered by CAIR cofounder Rafeeq Jaber, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation’s support of Hamas. Abudayyeh's a supporter of Palestinian terrorist and women's activist Rasmea Youssef Odeh, who is organizing a "women's strike" protest against Trump in March 2017.
