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. Obamas 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.

MSM reporters and Oprah = USEFUL IDIOTS. The left will play them until they might discover they were duped and they will get “dissappeared” before they can say anything like usual.
Only 500 dead, some westerners beaten and raped, racist wilding.... cat calls for the death of Israel and the West.
Its was peaceful man.
ABC News...
Even CBS reported “peaceful” protests for 5 days after THEIR own correspondent was raped and beaten.

"This story was planted with the NYT"
Exactly!!!
"...It will fool nobody"
I'm not so sure about that. Lately, I've encountered some pretty ignorant folks out there who still think Obama is doing a great job. We've got our work cut out for us in 2012!
Cheers

It seems the MSM instinctively recognize evil and covers for it.

He is a muslim and hates white people and Christians.
Also those jews, don't forget, he hates them. Unless they are solid communists who thoroughly reject their faith. He never met a commie he didn't like.

Yes, yes and YES. It fits his MO. Community agitator.

“proposals for how the administration could push for political change in countries with autocratic rulers who are also valuable allies of the United States”
Translation: How do we get rid of rulers friendly to the US and push for installation of radical Islamic rulers who will be the enemies of the US. Another obvious demonstration of whose side Obama is on.
Nobody can defeat the US from the outside, but Obama is doing a great job of it from the inside, the best position: as president of the country.

This report is important.
The agitator has risen to a new level: from mere community agitation to worldwide Islamic revolution.
Once you read through the surprisingly light New York Times spin on this, it is a thoroughly damning piece. The Kenyan Clown personally used our government resources to identify hotspots in the Islamic world which could be "transformed". He then used our government resources to foment Islamic revolution:
Mr. Obamas 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.
This is far worse than Carter's naivety and idiocy. The Kenyan Clown and his circus are actively pursuing these goals throughout the Islamic world; the targets identified by the New York Times are Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, and Yemen.

Sounds like Obamanoids may have "pushed for change" and were thoroughly surprised when things fell over...

Obamas handlers and sycophants alike clearly understand that he has stepped on his own schlong big time with the whole Egypt mess. And the whole Middle East debacle will probably be playing out during the 2012 campaign season, and by then be so ugly that not even the MSM can cover it up.
