Nightmare in the Middle East
NY Post ^ | January 30, 2010 | Ralph Peters

Whatever planet Earth may find in short supply in 2010, violence and misrule will remain abundant, from the most-recent round of Muslim-vs.-Christian massacres in Nigeria to Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez's delight in unleashing his thugs on students marching for freedom.

But no region — not even sub-Saharan Africa — competes with the greater Middle East when it comes to wanton savagery, thwarted opportunities and the danger posed to innocent populations around the world. With fanatical terrorists of unprecedented brutality, Islamist extremists pursuing nuclear weapons, rogue regimes, disintegrating states and threats of genocide against Israel, the lands of heat and dust between the Nile and the Indus form a realm of deadly failure that will haunt the civilized world throughout our lifetimes.

Obama and Dems are fixated on wealth redistribution, greening and destroying our healthcare industry so unemployed UNION workers get healthcare. Meanwhile, the Middle East burns!!

Obama - Nero? Juan Peron? Hugo Chavez? Fidel Castro?

At least Chavez, Peron and Castro served in a military organization. Our sissy, spoiled brat President was too cowardly to even do that.

The UAW rank and file is going through a very tough time right now, the realization that the boy who would be president is incapable has hit many very hard.

The UAW is deeply saddened by the reality of Barry's ineptitude in all things political. He isn't even a good lier, compared to the master, Bill, the first black president.

Jerulsalem being a burdensome stone to all nations. CHECK.

The city of Tyre being a ruin where fishermen spread their nets. CHECK.

Babylon a heap of stones. CHECK.

The King of Persia(Iran) making secret deals with the King of the North(Russia). CHECK.

All the WORLD hating Israel.CHECK.

Everyone deceived, including some of the elect.CHECK.

You got a point there, Brother.
