Obama and the tragedy of the Arab Spring

Ignorance, arrogance and ideology - The guiding forces of Obama's foreign policy

Massive anti-Morsi protests in Egypt

Turmoil in the Middle East.....brought to you by Barack Hussein Obama, supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood. When the 'Arab Spring' first rolled around the news media had a collective orgasm. They cast Obama as the bringer of democracy to the Middle East. They tried their damnedest to find protesters who would thank and praise Obama for his supposed leadership. Remember CNN's Nic Robertson desperately trying to get even one protester in Tahrir Square to credit Obama's support for bringing down Mubarak? They just couldn't get the Egyptians to buy into the media narrative of 'Obama - Bringer of Democracy' freeing the Arabs from tyranny. So I guess it shouldn't be surprising that the massive destabilization of the Middle East and the resurgence of al Qaeda following the Arab Spring is going unreported by the American media. The mainstream media has studiously ignored predictable establishment of al Qaeda in Eastern Libya. They blindly parroted the Obama Administration's absurd claims that a stupid video was responsible for the deadly attack on the Benghazi consulate. They ignored al Qaeda's invasion of Mali. They ignored the involvement of al Qaeda in the Algerian oil field attacks. They ignored al Qaeda's primary role in the Syrian civil war. And now they are ignoring the massive protests in Egypt. Why? Well the current reality might give lie to the Obama-worshiping media narrative that has been fed to the American public over the last two years. Quite frankly, if you want to know what is really going on in the Middle East you might as well forget the american news media. Check out the British press, al Jazeera or even the Russian media. They may put lots of spin on it, but at least they report the facts.

There is probably not much John Kerry was going to do to affect the outcome in Egypt. Considering that both sides pretty much hate the US and the Obama Administration, I don't think he had much opportunity to do anything. That being said it is still hard to believe that he would choose such a pivotal moment to take some time off. It is quite possible that the unrest in Egypt might trigger a wider regional conflict. That is why the Secretary of State should be available and involved. This entire regime is nothing but a bunch of amateurs.

This has gone beyond being a pattern of behavior. When confronted with disclosures of poor decision making and improper or illegal acts, the Obama Administration's standard operating procedure seems to be to lie. Given the slobbering loyalty of the press you would think they wouldn't even bother. Why even worry? The news media has covered up Operation Fast and Furious which caused the deaths of two US federal agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens. The news media has ignored the Administration's lies about Benghazi and has even participated in the lie. The news media has ignored billions wasted on green energy programs, 80% of which benefited Obama campaign contributors. The news media has largely ignored or downplayed the bulk of the information of the IRS scandal and won't even touch on the EPA. So why does the Obama administration feel it necessary to lie? About the only thing that even gets the media's attention is when they are lied to. Even then they don't get that upset with Obama that they will try to ruin his career, legacy and even his life. They save that for conservatives. So why all the lies?


Obama blames Boko Haram terrorism on bad governance

Boko Haram (which translates to "Western education is sinful") has nothing to do with bad governance. Boko Haram is a jihadist terrorist group that is seeking to drive the Christians out of Nigeria so as to form an Islamic state. Boko Haram has attacked mostly churches and Christian gatherings; not the government. They have slaughtered hundreds of Christians; mostly in massacres of unarmed worshipers at churches. If Obama doesn't know this then his minions lied when they said he was the most sophisticated consumer of intelligence in all of human history. If he doesn't know this then he is an unqualified idiot who has no business being a state senator let alone President of the United States. We know he can't be stupid because the news media has told us he is the smartest president in history. So what is it? The news media also told us he wasn't a Muslim. It is odd that this non-Muslim president has encouraged and aided Islamists in seizing power in Egypt and Libya. He is supporting the Syrian rebels with aid and arms even though there is no way of determining if those rebels are backed by al Qaeda and there is no way of keeping tons of Syrian chemical weapons from falling into the hands of al Qaeda if the rebels prevail. He is negotiating with the Taliban and has had representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood visit him at the White House. And while all of this is going on he has turned his back on America's traditional allies. So what should we think of Barack Hussein Obama?


Boko Haram murders 29 students This is pretty much typical for Jihadis. Go to a school or a church and kill defenseless children or worshipers. What is it about Islam that breeds this mix of depravity and cowardice. They aren't attacking an Army barracks or a police station. No, they attack little children in a school. Just like the Palestinian terrorists who constantly attacked civilian targets in Israel, like kindergartens, pizza parlors and commuter buses. It doesn't seem to matter what country or culture, the common thread of Islamists is cowardice. Indonesia or England, India or Nigeria, the tactic is always the same; attack the defenseless civilians. And Obama cannot bring himself to condemn Boko Haram. He blames Nigeria's government.
