President Obama's pitch for a military strike in Syria looked so politically clueless that he left supporters and foes alike scratching their heads: What was he thinking? For some, the answer was obvious. Because every conspiracy theory ever concocted about the President — from him being a secret Muslim agent sent from Kenya to take over the government to gay-sex-and-cocaine binges in the backseats of limousines — all make perfect sense if you simply accept the foundational supposition that Obama hates America.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Sunday, Norman Podhoretz argued that Syria showed the swift collapse of American global influence, which was all part of Obama's plan."His foreign policy, far from a dismal failure, is a brilliant success as measured by what he intended all along to accomplish," Podhoretz wrote. This international success follows Obama's great domestic success, which he concealed by "singing the praises of the free-enterprise system he was assiduously working to undermine." On Monday, Rush Limbaugh picked up this idea and ran with it. "[Obama's] always able to convince people he's trying to build this country, he's trying to save this country, trying to revitalize it, while he's doing just the exact opposite," Limbaugh said. By Thursday, Limbaugh was linking the Syria controversy to every other piece of the Obama agenda. Americans are "so appalled and opposed to Obamacare, Obama's economic policies, amnesty, illegal immigration with impunity," Limbaugh said, "because it is a direct assault on the very foundation and fundamentals of the creation and the founding of this country."
Tying Obama's diplomatic embarrassment to all his other policies is easy, because all Obama conspiracy theories rest on the same idea. That Obama is a secret Muslim, or a secret Kenyan, or a religion-hating atheist, or a black radical...

Daniel’s mottled feet?
Tito was from the area and one of the few they never replaced,...and probably for very good reason.
Germans also never had much success in that area.
You’d think when we deployed into that region, we would have capitalized upon the humint of former Soviet and German flag ranked officers regarding their perceptions and insights of those peoples.
Didn’t ever seem to happen. What a loss.
Yes, that is my thinking.
Where there is a will, there's often a way. Several prominent conservatives don't agree with the premise that Islam (in general) and the American left's version of Marxism are incompatible. They both want to destroy America and Israel. If they succeed the world is theirs.

The Sunni radicals and the Marxists may work with each other on occasion, however when it comes to the very basic beliefs of each they are quite divergent.
Think about how western marxists, like Bill Ayers, thinks about women and then contrast that with how the Sunni's treat their women.
Think about what it would be like if there was a Sunni caliphate in charge of this country. Do you think they would stand for all the gays acting on their "rights."
They are so far apart that even if they spend all their time taking over the world together, in the end they would kill each other.
Only “on occasion?” What about the principle in warfare that the enemy is my friend?
As far as women, neither Communists nor Islamists have much regard for women or humanity in general unless they are useful idiots.
The gay issue. Are you familiar with the “bacha bazi” the dancing boys of Afghanistan? Homosexuality is prevalent in Islam. http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/dancingboys/index?tab=articles

Whoops! "What about the principle in warfare that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
Just like he did with this Syria mess.
He left his muslin brotherhood friends and his marxist friends in the lurch while trying to satisfy both.
You may not agree, but even though they may appear to work together, neither one of them share the same philosophy, so in the end they will be at complete loggerheads.
Well, until Obama finds his voice, then all bets are off.
