Where's Barack?
NY Post ^ | March 23, 2011 | Editorial

Posted on 03/23/2011 1:36:30 AM PDT by Scanian

Yesterday was just another day in the rapidly unraveling Middle East.

* Turkish news media reported that a Syria-bound Iranian cargo plane suspected of carrying nuclear material was forced to land in Turkey on Saturday for inspection.

No nuke connection was found -- though, not surprisingly, inspectors did discover rocket launchers, mortars, rifles and explosives, which were all removed.

The weapons may have been intended for use in Syria -- where five days of anti-government protests have led to a half-dozen deaths in a crackdown by security forces.

Or, more likely, they may have been destined for Hamas-ruled Gaza, where renewed rocket fire against Israel began over the weekend.

* In Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh -- a key US ally in the war on terror -- announced his willingness to call elections and step down in January after 32 years in power, following mounting public protests and growing defections of key military and political leaders.

Opposition groups rejected his offer, demanding his immediate resignation. But Saleh warned that any attempt to force him out before then would lead to a "bloody" civil war.

* In Bahrain, King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, backed by Saudi troops, ordered his armed forces to continue a bloody crackdown on anti-government Shiite protesters, sweeping them from the capital's financial district and elsewhere.

I would bet that 99%, of the wonderful rebels have been trained in Iran. That induces the one handing out the bogus reports, that fool take as gospel.

You said a mouthful.

Risking American lives and assets to support treacherous Muslims and terrorists is getting very tiresome.

Where's Barack?

--------------------------

Who knows?

But I know this: he's 'all in' now to do Al-Qaeda's dirty work - helping the Brotherhood take over North Africa.

Hope and Change.... Tragic.

He can stay in Rio with Mo!

Solution to the problem in Libya:
They want a new Muslim leader . . .
Hell, I say give them ours

Solves 2 problems.

Kudos!

Works for me.

I firmly believe that in the heart of his heart (if he has one) that Zer0 dreams of being a Gaddafi-type despot.

Another day in office, another day of pooch screwing by the Bamster.

One day he’ll run out of pooches to screw.

Check at the nearest Golf Course. He'll be the skinny dark guy who whiffs with a 9-Iron on the Practice Tee.

Barry is sooooo bad, he makes Charles Barkley look like Arnold Palmer.

Don’t worry folks, MSM to the rescue...just heard he is leaving his vacation a few hours early to get back to DC. I can see the headlines now: OBAMA RETURNS TO TAKE CONTROL. President abandons mission seeking economic stimules to personally oversee situations in Japan and Mid East that had been delegaged to Clinton and Gates. A close aid accompaning the President said he was disappointed his senior appointees were not able to guide our participation in events without his hands on attention.

In a related development, the Whitehouse bus was heard warming up in the garage.

Right on schedule...AP to the rescue:

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — President Barack Obama is leaving Central America earlier than scheduled, cutting short a tour dominated by the U.S.-led military action in Libya.

The president eliminated a visit to Mayan ruins from his itinerary Wednesday, permitting him to leave a few hours earlier. Aides have taken pains to portray Obama as fully engaged in the deployment of missiles and warplanes in North Africa even as he devoted his public time to bridge-building with Latin American leaders.

But he couldn’t escape the juxtaposition of missions.

The three-country, five-day tour meant to re-establish U.S. leadership in the region. The president traveled to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador, countries that have undergone political transformations over the past decades.

'Rumor has it' that the White House Bus is being sent to a Customization Shop so it can be extended another Ten Feet.

Not to add more seats, but it's just getting really crowded underneath it.

'series', I'd bet that Rush would even give Obama a lesson or two.

(I'd give Barry just one piece of advice -- take up the piano!)

“Risking American lives and assets to support treacherous Muslims and terrorists is getting very tiresome.”

Liberal tyrants loathe Christians, Christian white males in particular. What a wonderful way for 0 to destroy American Christians ... throw them into battle.

OBAMA'S WAR CABAL EXPOSED:

Obama's incestuous key advisors who ended up nudging him to war....burned-out 60's radical, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her two Amazon Brigade buddies who are among Obama's closest advisors....radical Susan Rice married to Obama's ambassador to the United Nations, and Samantha Power, radical advisor married to Cass Sunstein, commie perfesser, Obama's fascist regulatory czar who Glenn Beck exposes almost daily as one of the most dangerous men in America.

We're in good hands with these marxist all-stars leading us to chaos (as planned).
