Obama Paves Way to Arm Muslim Brotherhood-linked Regime in Somalia

President Obama decided this week that the Muslim Brotherhood-linked regime ruling parts of Somalia out of the capital city Mogadishu is eligible to receive U.S. military aid and weapons, sending a memo to Secretary of State John Kerry announcing the new finding and laying the ground work for even more foreign entanglements in Africa. While the decision does not mean American taxpayers will begin sending arms immediately, Obama claimed his administration could legitimately provide military assistance to United Nations-backed Somali authorities under existing U.S. export and foreign aid statutes.

"I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Federal Republic of Somalia will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace," states the memo, which was issued on Monday and purports to allow Kerry to arm and train Somali forces. It was not immediately clear what section or language in the Constitution the president believes would authorize arming the leftist Somali regime or any other foreign governments.

However, as Obama has made clear throughout his administration — in both foreign and domestic policy — the Supreme Law of the Land appears to be of little concern. Like previous presidents, the current White House occupant has been lawlessly arming and training various regimes and militant groups around the world despite the lack of any constitutional authority to do so. The results have been disastrous.

According to news reports about the executive branch “determination,” Obama claims that it is somehow in the national security interest of the United States for the U.S. government to be able to provide more military assistance to the Somali regime.

Whether the recent decision by Obama to permit more U.S. military assistance to Somali authorities will result in deeper foreign entanglements remains to be seen. If history is any guide, however, it almost certainly will. What sort of “blowback” might result is also not yet clear. Critics, though, argue that it is time for the bankrupt U.S. government to obey the Constitution and avoid further foreign policy fiascos before the deadly consequences explode onto the scene.

You know, I think he actually wants the death cult to expand! What gave me that idea?

As Barack the Kenyan is out there arming the Mexican drug cartels and Muzzie Islamoterrorist with weapons, he’s trying to disarm the people in America. What a freak show this regime turned out to be.

Somalis in Minnesota, Somalis in Maine. The climates of those states are so like that of Somalia. Bring them over by the C-17 load so they can address the labor shortages here. WARBI!

Why don't the GOP Leaders in congress stop him; Oh, wait, that's right there are NO GOP 'Leaders' in congress.

[PGalt]

Totalitarian community organizer of the United States arming foreign totalitarian community organizers. Go figure.

[Carriage Hill]

And 51-52% of the nation’s morons/idiots/cretins put him into office, TWICE!

[unlearner]

Could we require background checks on the Somalians, Mexicans, Egyptians and other foreigners this administration is giving arms to?

The Republicans need to bring this up in the gun debate and also tie it to the lack of identity verification needed to vote in federal elections.
