Good points!
To emphasize a point I made in my post. Remember Cairo speech? So arrogant, few realized the breadth of arrogance, nor Obama's true intentions.
Obama's secret ME policy lies in ruins --- Benghazi/Libya, Egypt, now Cameron's Syria "defection"---surprises all out of his control, maddeningly out of his control.
Congress "leaders" will do what they will do, but behind the scenes, Obama is in a purple rage. Dumped his rage on Congress (brilliant! took the page from Cameron's and his humiliating defeat and sent it to Congress---and like Cameron, Obama reserves the right to ignore Congress (like Cameron DIDN'T); then he dumped on Cameron and UK; UN blocked him; NATO blocked him; now he his dumping on the "world" --- "it's not my red line; it's YOUR red line."
The Obama psyche is on tilt.
Kerry reduced to this statement of squalor:
Kerry: Arab Countries Offered to Pay for Invasion
Poignant and cogent comments on this thread. Many posts asking, Does that reduce the US military to a mercenary or a whore?
Another great, dot-connecting post, thouworm.

Malcolm X in Cairo at the al-Azhar Mosque in 1964, Obama at the al-Azhar Mosque in 2009 where he made his first overseas speech.
And an excerpt from the speech you posted on that thread -
...As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam -- at places like Al-Azhar -- that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities -- (applause) -- it was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality. (Applause.)
BARF!
