“Hagel said a determination on the chemical attack should be made swiftly because “there may be another attack coming,” although he added that “we don’t know” whether that will happen.”
What an odd statement.
Yeah he check out Vlady see what Vlady going do next this story came from Russia today wire so Vlady probably read that
“What an odd statement.”
Jarrett must be running around like a chicken without a head, quacking at everybody. 0b0z0 is, of course playing with Reggie, err.. Cards or something, the wookie is in Farta’s Vineyard and life goes on!
We can sleep tight, our country’s safety is in the unwashed hands of asshats, commies and Islamists.
What is there to worry about?
,

Obama saying....”after Mr. Morsy was removed in which we did a lot of heavy lifting and a lot of diplomatic work to try to encourage ...’the military’... to move in a path of reconciliation”.....
Yet again he’s covering...
The Egyptian administration ‘made it clear’ the reason International Leaders were permitted even coming into the country, at that stage, was to assist ‘the Muslim Brotherhood Leaders and Morsi’ to negotiate and come to an agreement, and see the reality of the situation......who til then flat out refused to negotiate with the Egyptian Administration.....and this time and time again regardless of how they approached them or what was presented as a solution to the stalemate.
It had nothing to do with the Military at all...rather to persuade Morsi and the MB to discuss and come to a resolution....and time and time again they refused all International Leaders as well.
So Obama is outright lying.....though of course he wanted to see the Brotherhood back into the Administration at pretty much all cost. He failed....
.....“With respect to the Mubarak trial and decisions made, this is an internal Egyptian legal matter,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki”......
Yes it is Egypt to determine how they handle Mubarak....IMO he’s dying. Been very ill a long time now...and they have moved him to a Military Hospital. US has no business commenting on that one way or another.
...”Snowden leaks: UK operates secret Middle East web surveillance base”....
Ask yourself who benefits from Snowden’s revelations?... The UK or our potential enemies? .....is this really news or is it that Snowden thinks we should not have them because its not fair?
Hardly secret,.... there has been a radome on top of mount Olympus and both Army and RAF signals units in Cyprus since the early 1960’s.
What Snowden has done is revealed to a wider arena of bad guy “watchers” what it looks like and where it is....as well the news sources telling the story.
Which is why I will not post a photo. I will not assist in giving the low end jihadists a look see....
My understanding is they didn’t have thousands of protesters...rather hundreds and less spread out in various areas.....and further ..though they had planned 28 marches they couldn’t get the people out so cancelled many of them.
Most news outlets calling it a low turn out...and not surprising.
<...”Throughout the world, the Obama administration has radically altered America’s policies...And disaster has followed...... Never since America’s establishment has the US appeared so untrustworthy, destructive, irrelevant and impotent”....>
Well now....does make a true statement doesn’t it...
We have the video of that guy stating these things back thread...
A vile creature....and there’s lots more just like him!
I agree that ASSAD is NOT responsible for these chemical attacks. He knows, and Russia knows, exactly who Assad is fighting there....just as the Egyptian military and police do.
IMO OBOZO is trying to figure out how to get out of the corner ‘he has painted himself in’....anything he does, so late in the game, will prove disastrous.. including doing nothing at all.
The fact he has NOT taken ANY stand with our allies, or non-muslim foreign leaders comments concerning Syria, by omission/default he IS siding with the terrorists and Jihadists.
I've been following some of Reuter’s Journalists on the ground in Egypt from the get go...they were, and are, given special attention by the MBS.....and were in Rabba and Nadah.
Quite revealing to see their conversations on line with other tweeters of like minds. They knew they had special privileges among the protesters and the MBS...and when called on it time and again denied so.
One female Journalist alluded to the fact the MB protesters often assisted her when the firefights were on..to keep her safe etc.
From the article....”Many Brotherhood members are in hiding, ‘avoiding their homes’... and even communication by telephone,.... a mid-level member of the group told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“We no longer receive directives.... and we don’t really know what we should do anymore..... Most of our direct leaders are detained,” ....the member from the Nile Delta said.”
The first and second levels of the Muslim Brotherhood on Egypt have basically been cut off from the mob followers......so they can’t get organized....like a tail to a snake when it’s head’s been cut off.
But....the head of a snake can still use it’s venom...and can even attack itself....as well as others..... though it appears dead in it’s tracks...
From your link..and thank you very much..a worthy read....
“The senior officers of the Egyptian military know that their lives and their families’ lives depend on defeating the Muslim Brotherhood.
They know that Nasser, Sadat, and Mubarak all followed hard line policies against the Muslim Brotherhood and it worked........
They know that the Algerian Army rejected an Islamist election victory in 1991 and fought an eleven year civil war to impose order on Algeria.... More than 44,000 Algerians were killed in the campaign to defeat Islamists... Westerners were horrified.... The Algerian Army won.
The hardest-line example of survival through repression was Hafez Assad of Syria who survived in power for 30 years (from 1970 to his death in 2000)...... Assad was relentlessly tough in fighting the Muslim Brotherhood....... When they tried to assassinate him in 1980 he retaliated by executing over 600 prisoners...... When the city of Hama sought to rebel he crushed it so thoroughly that it became a model of horrifying
Tom Friedman of the New York Times coined the term “Hama Rules”...... In Hama that meant literally destroying entire neighborhoods to eliminate opposition..... That brutal operation cost 20,000 Syrians their lives but Assad stayed in power.
The United States must rethink its entire policy in the Middle East.......We have to recognize that on a bipartisan basis for the last 12 years we have tried to create and impose ‘an American fantasy’ in Middle Eastern ‘realities’.
(Newt understands the war against terrorists..and he dares call them by name as well....)
If you want to find the perfect description of muslims of the mb type, look up wingless crickets. They breed, devour, destroy, and when they run out of food, they feed on each other and continue to march. They serve no earthly purpose whatsoever.

Report: Kosovo Air War Possible Obama Blueprint for Syria
US officials are looking at the air war over Kosovo in the late 1990s as a possible blueprint for strikes on Syria without a UN mandate, the New York Times reported Saturday.
Unfortunately, that is most likely the correct summation of the scene going down at 1600 Penn.
