The Root Cause of the Disasters in the Middle East

During the eight years of the Obama administration, half a million Christians, Yazidis and Muslims were slaughtered in the Middle East by ISIS and other Islamic jihadists, in a genocidal campaign waged in the name of Islam and its God. Twenty million others were driven into exile by these same jihadist forces. Libya and Yemen became terrorist states. America - once the dominant foreign power and anti-jihadist presence in the region – was replaced by Russia, an ally of the monster regimes in Syria and Iran, and their terrorist proxies. Under the patronage of the Obama administration, Iran - the largest and most dangerous terrorist state, with the blood of thousands of Americans on its hands - emerged from its isolation as a pariah state to re-enter the community of nations and become the region’s dominant power, arming and directing its terrorist proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and Yemen.

These disasters are a direct consequence of the policies of  appeasement and retreat of the Obama administration. Beyond that, they are a predictable result of the Democratic Party’s long-standing resistance to the so-called war on terror, and its sabotage of George Bush’s  efforts to enforce 17 UN Security Council resolutions in Iraq, aimed at maintaining international order and peace in the Middle East

The actual root?

Perhaps not the root cause, but Obama's policies, conscious not mistakes, were instrumental in creating the disasters of the last few years.

That’s it in a nutshell. Best elective class I ever took in college was History of the middle east and the History of the Arab Israeli dispute. 3 semesters.

Post 23 is a reply to the Balfour Declaration post and Sykes-Picot agreement post not post 11 although water is the key to winning.

Water throughout the middle east is held in community Cisterns dug deep underground. Bunker bust them from 50000+ feet with guided munitions dropped from miles away and you’ll force entire cities into a desperate situation. Tehran is highly susceptible. You’d leave millions without water.

All very true but most people have a hard time wading through the morass of information about these conflicts. When you have a population who have the attention span of a fruit fly, all this Middle Eastern “stuff” gets brushed aside for more Infotainment programming.

All that is written here is true but we also have past Presidents and policy makers to blame. Obama was, by far the worst US President ever but it was easy for him to fall back on other precedents from other Presidents too.

And Lawrence of Arabia’s campaign for the “Arab Revolt” against the Turks did not play a role???????

What was promised to Faisal???

Before Balfour, (1917) the British, French, Italians, Germans and others were dividing up this region and making promises.

When you blame Balfour, you’re blaming the only pro-Jewish platform that there was. You are mimicking the PLO who today say the same thing and are demanding the British APOLOGIZE for this declaration.

plus,of course, flooding USA with hundreds of thousands of mostly young fighting-age men from Islamic dictatorship regimes ... (certainly they all rushed into America to become flower arrangers, right?!)

No, Obama didn’t make any mistakes (except he didn’t foresee the Egyptian people overthrowing his Muslim Brothers bff’s)

================================================================

STOP!

Americans will NOT allow you to attack the first Black President. Sure, he made mistakes, but he was trying to straighten out the injustice of Slavery that will forever tarnish America.

Now for the truth:

Hussein was and is a supporter of Muslim terrorism. Hussein's HOLY KORAN tells Muslims to kill infidels everywhere they are found, to harass them to make them convert to Islam, or die.

Until CNN and CBS tell Americans the truth, Hussein (America's FIRST Muslim President), is hands off!

I don't "blame" anyone. Listen to those podcasts and it is actually a good review of what happened. The Arabs were used as were the Jews.

That's what is so funny. It is the technique of causing conflicts within countries and areas that they want to colonize. That's what the Russians are doing to the Syrians and Iranians. That's what we did and are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's just interesting to see how the Russians are providing weapons to Arab muslims and the Chinese are supplying weapons to Arab Muslims......and we are supplying weapons to Arab Muslims.

Do you even think that the Arab tribal culture can possibly create a Jeffersonian democracy or any form of government. They are tribal. Their loyalties are to their Shiite, Sunni or smaller sect or family organizations. It's a joke. Please listen to the podcasts. It's pretty informative.

Gotcha, thanks...I will.
