Iraq crisis: US embassy workers evacuated as Republicans slam Obama
The Guardian ^ | Sunday, June 15, 2014 | Dominic Rushe

Posted on 06/15/2014 4:38:58 PM PDT by Star Traveler

Mike McCaul, the Republican chair of the House homeland security committee, told ABC's This Week: “Well, this is a crisis. It does call for a response, not going to Palm Springs for a fundraiser.”

Later on Sunday, Psaki released a statement on security at US embassies. The Obama administration faces ongoing congressional scrutiny of its response to an attack on a US facility in Benghazi in September 2012, in which four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, were killed.

In Baghdad later on Sunday, a series of explosions killed at least 15 people and injured more than 30, police and hospital officials said.

Insurgents also seized Tal Afar, a mainly ethnic Turkmen city in the north west of the country, after heavy fighting. Residents reached by telephone said it had fallen.

"The city was overrun by militants. Severe fighting took place, and many people were killed. Shi'ite families have fled to the west and Sunni families have fled to the east," a city official who asked not to be identified told Reuters.

Graham said “this stubborn-headed president we have who thinks he knows better than anybody else, who withdrew troops and exposed this country to the inevitable, needs to change his policies quickly”.

He added that Obama was “delusional” and “detached”. “The number of people who could die in this country from getting this wrong is going to be far greater than 4,000 [a reference to the number of US troops killed so far in Iraq, actually 4,424] because they are getting hold of weapons they did not have before,” he said.

The only person standing between Obama and his well-deserved Impeachment is crybaby Speaker of the House, John Boehner, PERIOD.

That brings back memories, I spent a year there in the IZ, a portion of the time dodging rockets and mortars. It sere sounds like old times there now, although it will be much worse. Pray for guidance.

What the heck is with that headline? What does one have to do with another? Obama, sadly, is commander in chief. The republicans have nothing to do with action or lack thereof, by Obama.

“..why dont they impeach him and replace him with someone to do the job while he is gone...”

Nice sentiment, but the Senate Majority Leader (that would be Democrat Dirty Hairy Reid of Nevada) would have to bring the bill to a vote in the Senate and that will never happen while he is the Majority Leader.

His own words.

On August 25, 2008, he was at a conference and answered a question thus: “I’m 51 and have been working since I was 15 years old...”. That would make his birth in the year 1957.

Just two years ago he stated that he was a Jakarta street kid.

This man is very arrogant. I have noticed that he says things that differ from his autobiography, which we now know he didn’t write. Bill Ayres wrote the damn thing.

The “Jakarta street kid” reference presumably would have come from his years in Indonesia, not having been born there. And do you have a link on that conference statement? Sounds like a simple case of misspeaking, as he clearly wouldn’t have wanted to admit to having otherwise falsified his DOB if that’s what he had done (which sounds implausible by his documented years at school in HI anyway).

Madelyn Payne Dunham told a visiting relative that her grandson had passed away. The young man living there, she said, had lost his mother in 1972.

As to his “documented” years at Punahou, he attended from 1975 to 1979. According to a person who knew him, he was known as “Barry Soetoro, a foreign student from Indonesia”.

He attended Occidental College and used a SSN 999-XX-XXXX, which are utilized by foreign students. He lived in housing reserved for foreign students.

There is much disinformation out there, meant to confuse researchers.

So, who is he?

Lolo Soetoro adopted six Jakarta street kids before he went to Hawaii and met SADO and her little son. This little boy, according to one of his adopted step sisters, fell out of a tree in their garden, severely injuring himself. He walked with a permanent limp. He is the child who died in the early 1970s.

All my sources and information were sent to Sheriff Joe Arpaio about four weeks ago.

I don’t question but that he was registered as a foreign student.He may even have switched his story from Indonesia to Kenya between high school and college/grad school.

But I don’t think he was an 18yo pretending to be 14 in his first year at Punahou.

I don’t know who he is.

Do you have a link for the Grandma Dunham claim?

I don’t post my sources anymore on FR.

“But I don’t think he was an 18yo pretending to be 14 in his first year at Punahou.”

Let me give you a hint: when he finally finished Columbia University, he went to work for a company associated with the CIA.

Our government, in the 1970s and 1980s, were very concerned that Pakistan was trying to develop a nuclear weapon. The Jakarta street kid had a gift for languages - he understands and speaks Indonesian, English, Pashto and Arabic. The culture in Asia’s underbelly is nothing like ours and trying to navigate it would be impossible for a westerner.

This man went to Pakistan with his Pakistani lover. They stopped in Indonesia for three weeks; perhaps for someone to get his Indonesian passport?

The interesting thing about all this is that the Democrat Party sent a representative to Jakarta in July, 2007, to buy up all documents and photographs pertaining to the Soetoro family. Why if the little boy left Indonesia at 10-years old would he do that as an adult? He wouldn’t, but someone who lived there then and is still alive and pretending to be him certainly would.

Also, in Hawaii all documents at the Hawaii Dept. of Health that have the names Obama AND Soetoro are off limits and unavailable. Again, why? A good guess would be to prevent a death certificate with the name “Barry Soetoro” become public.

E-verify doesn’t recognize Barack Hussein Obama II; I wonder if it would recognize Barry Soetoro?

So why the switch? Why did he change his name? The Saudi Royal family wanted a mole in our government. The Black nationalists suggested a black man. Bill Ayres wrote an autobiography to create one - Dreams From My Father - and attributed it to Obama.

The Saudi Royal family sent him to law school at Harvard; even spent millions on a library to make certain he made it through. Then the Jakarta street kid, who is Melanesian, needed street cred to prove he was “black”, and he worked the streets of Chicago. A homosexual, he even married a black woman, Michelle Robinson. Eventually he served in the Illinois legislature, then in the U.S. Congress as a Rep and then a Senator.

I think you’re mixing info here.

Yeah, his family and quite possibly he have had CIA connections. It’s not an especial gift to have some ability in some languages when you’ve lived for years abroad.

Sure, I expect he could have used his Indonesian passport for his trip to Pakistan.

The Democrats are much smarter about doing legwork for candidates than the GOP is.

And I expect Barry has plenty to hide. You’ve touched on various publicly known areas of doubt.

But then somehow you have secret info about his being an Indonesian street kid four years older than he claims, but you can’t back it up because you’ve sent the info to Sheriff Joe?

I think you’ve got a jumble of the likely with the unlikely mixed up here.

You’re right, I should tell you more.

The foster sister was Holiyah Soetoro Sobah, aka Lia Soetoro. You can read about her on:
http://www.nachumlist.com/deadpool.htm

She was going to travel to Washington, D.C., to see Obama herself. Unfortunately, she died of a massive heart attack. Sound familiar?

There is a lot of information associated with that entry. I’s sure you will find a lot of information.

Oh, and I left something out which I should have added. Barry Soetoro was gone from Columbia University from 1981 to 1982, supposedly in Pakistan.

I used to be a linguist and cryptanalyst in the U.S.Navy, and I worked an intelligence desk involved with matters pertaining to the Middle East, Mediterranean, and North Africa. During the 1980s, Russia was in Afghanistan. The language spoken in southern Afghanistan is Pashto.

An Iraqi Airline 747-446, flt IAW942, apparently landed at the Baghdad International air port at 15:10 this morning.

Set the play back clock to 15:00 and watch the plane veer quickly and appear to land at the Airport at 15:10.

Interesting, thanks.

But the article about his sister lists her as four years older than Barry, with them having been 14 and 10, respectively, in 1971.

Thanks for the heads up. IAW224, an Air Bus made what appeared to be a normal landing approach and landed.

Then IAQ950 a 737 did the same and landed.

Reset the playback clock to 1540.

Maybe, there has been some tradeoff to allow the Iraqi Airline planes to land. Or the Airport is under Iraqi control at this time.

Go to this link and watch Iraqi Airline Planes make a dog leg approach around Baghdad and land at Baghdad Internation west of Baghdad.

http://www.flightradar24.com/33.32,44.2/10

There are two Iraqi Air Lines approaching for a quick landing at this time.

I have not seen other airline planes land this morning.

In the past quarter hour, a big Iraqi Airline 767 came in from the west and landed.

A Qatar air liner was apparently waved off from a north bound route.

Then a BAW, Brit plane seemed to be headed for the airport and was waved off at 36k feet and about 12 kms from the eastern edge of Baghdad.

On a larger map, DLH and other airlines are heading southeast agood distance from Baghdad.

A Zagrug plane flt 476, an Air Bus 320 did some interesting dog legs and landed at the SW end of the airport @17:05.

Set the playback timer at @16:55 to watch the approach.

There were TWO boys!

The “Barry” that Lia Soetoro Soba refers to in her interviews, was born in 1961. He was the son of Obama Sr, born Barack H. Obama II, and when adopted by Lolo Soetoro became Barry Soetoro. He died in the early 1970s.

One born in 1957 took on the name Barry Soetoro later in the 1970s. It was his cover for the CIA.

Do you understand now?

No—I don’t. Wasn’t she visiting in the US with the one we know as Obama when she was 14 and he was 10?
