A four star admiral, who was in charge of the largest single military command in the world, .....slammed Barack Obama, and warned Congress that ...’the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated every U.S. National Security Agency’.. under Obama’s administration.

Admiral James A. Lyons – the former Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the largest single military command in the world, and “the father” of Red Cell – the Navy’s anti-terrorism units – said that “the transformation of America has been in full swing ever since 2008,” the year Obama was elected based upon his campaign promise to “fundamentally transform America.”

why did NATO topple Libya again

Any country that shows an inclination to break free from western banking and global domination and has leaders that threaten the power elite structure has been scheduled for regime change.

Libya was an interesting case. Western oil companies (research Apache and western Egypt) in western Egypt discovered oil there and wanted more control over it and the port of Benghazi in eastern Libya. With Libya, strongman Khaddafi was threatening to take his billions of dollars out of Italian banks, a threat to those darn European banking interests. NATO was only given authority to "protect the protestors as they returned home". Instead, they disintegrated Khaddaffi and created chaos in Libya. Instead of a pro-western government emerging, as with everything else Obama has had a hand in, the vacuum has created has been filled by terrorists the US has armed, funded, and trained, and we're still doing that. Why are we training Syrian radicals who promise to friend us instead of helping the Kurds?

If the DC crowd wants to do anything useful, how about a memorandum forbidding military or clandestine action against leaders who defend Christians and other minorities?

There was absolutely no reason to dismantle the govs in Libya or Egypt...they provided stability. There's no sane reason Assad is our enemy and Saudi Arabia is our friend.

We'll go down in history as the "evil empire"...if there is history.

This stuff was considered conspiracy theory when it was developing. Facts have born it out.

When the coptic Christian churches in Egypt were being burned down during their revolution....the coptic Christians "protected" the muslims so they could pray...

There is plenty of reasons for Assad to go down. That Baathist prick and Iran helped fund the Baath insurgents in Fallujah and took in al Dhouri, not to mention his regime was working on developing nukes- which Israel made clear back in 2006 when they made the bombing run into Syria.

Go Egypt! Keep up the bombings and mass your forces on the border! The Egyptian navy needs to set sail for Libya—maybe ask the Russians for help? they could send some ships from Syria (they are just getting rusty there) and help to bombardm blocade and degrade IS in Libya.

Assad protected Christians and other minorities and he provided stability. As far as the nuke situation goes, I can’t fault countries for wanting nukes when their neighbors have them.

We're already at that point.
The truth is, is that the remaining free world (those allies like Israel that Obama insists on spitting on) is rooting for the USA to restore itself to a superpower.
Thus far, under the current leadership (if it can be defined as such) the world has watched America put a gun to it's head and whine it's way into a second rate power.

Sure, the fumes of a once great country are still there and we still wield power BUT...it is retreat and apologies on all fronts. The Black is White reminds one of the three “1984” watchwords.

America under Obama is turning into a weak Eurozone country where the French look Ferocious, the Spaniards, mighty, the Germans, Titan, and the Italians, powerful.
They're all watching Obama toss, ally after ally under the bus.
Only one leader refuses to be compromised and for that, he is paying a heavy price...Netanyahu of Israel. It isn't Israel that complicated US foreign policy but the dunce sitting in the White House. All the bad blood and recklessness started with...HIM -BHO.

Their opinion of Obama is very low and they tell me that the Egyptians feel as they do.

Tell them to tell their sister that all Americans agree with their opinion of Obama. Also tell them to tell her that not everyone that lives in the United states, even if they were born here, is an American.

Meanwhile back at the White House members of the terrorist group known as the Muslim Brotherhood parades supporters in and out seeing what advantage the sympathetic administration can give them in their quest to over-throw the American way of life.

Egypt strikes.
Let’s see if our fearless leader shows any outrage over the murders of Christians. Will he be as mad as he was over an atheist killing 3 of his best buds?
A:
No, because his loyalty lies with his true love.

Yes. Netanyahu refuses to be compromised because Israel needs an ally. America has always been an ally and friend to the Jewish, and Israel. There is a reason for it. Netanyahu is hoping that the new Congress has more America in them then every elected official of the past 6 years combined. I don’t hold much hope. Honestly from what I’ve seen after the last 6 years is that somehow key positions in American government were infiltrated by men and women (possibly/likely American > muslim converts). Using the money they grifted from working Americans like yourself , and money from rich far far left Americans they bought most of Congress, and most of the media, as well as most other forms of information. Which gives them all the cover they need for the quiet coup that took place in 2008.

I have questions for Obama. The most recent one is: Why has ISIS been allowed to flourish? They have been allowed to kill, brutally might I add, American citizens indiscriminately. Why do we not have the full force of American military might on the ground? Or, why is there not a 24 hour, merciless, relentless bombing campaign going on?
Your duty is in fact to protect American citizens, their interests, and allies. No matter the answer, I would respond to it with “You have failed in your duty, your sworn oath, and have committed acts of treason openly.” and I would walk out of the room.

You know, so many people sit and moan and complain. Hoping that Congress will turn things around. But they aren’t going to. This is on every American citizen this time. There is no knight in shining armor, no Washington to rally us to what is right. Only you, me, and everyone else that knows the truth. What would we say if we found out that an American President was responsible for the death of thousands of Americans, allies, and the destruction of the American society, economy, and culture? I know what most will say: “I didn’t vote for him.”

But what people don’t realize is that doesn’t matter, because as freemen we have a duty to make sure our countrymen and ourselves stay free. We have been sleeping on watch, and this is what we get. Still no action, just meaningless hopes and words. Finally, the American government is subtly malignant towards its citizens, allies, and what are/were it’s interests while supporting those that would burn America to the ground.

We all know what the correct response is. Yet here we are, just complaining, hoping against all hope that an infiltrated and overthrown government can somehow fix itself. When the cure obviously needs to come from outside.

Yeah, they've been going after kids from the get go. The Christians, Yazidi...rape, beheadings, crucifixions.

Someone in Congress, with a high profile, needs to go before the American people, confront the regime with the facts and say "You DID build this!
