Obama Seeks an Escape From the Middle East

In his first term, Barack Obama all but declared victory in America's Middle East struggles.

As he precipitously pulled out all U.S. peacekeepers from Iraq, the president had his own "Mission Accomplished" moment when declaring the country "stable," "self-reliant" and an "extraordinary achievement."

Those claims echoed Vice President Joe Biden's earlier boast that Iraq somehow would prove Obama's "greatest achievement."

After the death of Osama bin Laden, and during Obama's re-election campaign, the president also proclaimed that al-Qaeda was a spent force and "on the run."

But what exactly was the new Obama strategy that supposedly had all but achieved a victory in the larger war on terror amid Middle East hostility?

There is no escape, as long as (i)slam remains in force. In the long run there never has or will be any peace as any way you look at (i)slam it never has contributed anything to a peaceful coexistence between humans. You just cannot impose conditions upon your fellow man that either you believe in what I do or you will suffer severe repercussions, punishment or even death. This whole concept just doesn’t fall under “Freedom of religion”

I take no issue with believing in any God, praying and wailing several times a day from minarets, but all the other peripheral’s which go with this religion sure don’t inspire compliance.

I have mentioned many times in the past and will do so again, If mankind is to continue on its evolutionary path which is our destiny, by necessity we have to overcome some of the road blocks, with (i)slam being one of them, placed in our way. I would prefer a peaceful solution but feel that this is not in the cards.

Humans just happen to have an inborn yearning for freedom and justice and until we satisfy those feelings there will be trouble and strife and history has proven this point ad nauseam. Humans just happen to be slow larners.

May his ‘most beautiful sound that he has heard’ singer crawl up his alimentary canal.

He ‘made a bed with them’, now let him lie in it, even unto his bindings, and ball gag.
