Obama and the Middle East

by Sam Huntington

I love how easy it is to drive the progressive/communist left nuts. All one needs to do is to say that Obama is a Moslem, a member of the Moslem Brotherhood, a lackey for Islamic extremism, or the least competent president in our entire history, and the progressives literally pee their pants. It makes one wonder how they would react if any of these statements weren’t true …


Let’s face it … Obama hasn’t excelled in matters of Middle Eastern policy, has he? Seriously, in all honesty … has he? I maintain that if Mr. Obama has accomplished anything at all, it is that he took a nearly acceptable Middle East and turned it into a snake pit. Maybe it’s time for a short review of the facts:

1. Mr. Obama allied himself with the Moslem Brotherhood: a one-time collaborator with the Axis powers. The Moslem Brotherhood has not changed its official policy since those heady days of the Third Reich. Apparently, Mr. Obama (who I am sure is not a Moslem) supports anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-homosexual, and anti-women policies.

2. Mr. Obama and his alter ego John McCain have allied themselves with anti-American Syrian rebels, in much the same way that similarly inclined politicians favored the Sandinistas over the Contras in Nicaragua.

3. Mr. Obama stood by and watched the murder of four Americans, including the US Ambassador to Libya. We are still waiting for the rest of this story to unfold, but no one is sure it ever will. It is part of Obama’s strategy to do whatever he pleases, nation of laws and the will of the people be damned.

4. Mr. Obama renounced the pro-American Mubarak regime in favor of the anti-American Moslem Brotherhood schemata, and then sweetened that deal with sophisticated tanks and high-performance aircraft.

5. Mr. Obama arranged for 20,000 man-portable anti-aircraft rockets to fall into the hands of Moslems, all of who have a pronounced anti-American bias. And we know that these rockets have found their way into the hands of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

6. Mr. Obama and his sycophants have succeeded in neutering the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the United States military. None of these organizations are now permitted to teach the truth about Islamism.

7. In spite of the risks taken by Israel over the past 21-years (which admittedly exceeds Obama’s tenure as this nation’s chief clown), the Obama Administration continues to favor the Palestine Authority, an organization that should be classified as a terrorist entity.

8. How can the Obama administration portray the Iranian president-elect as a moderate when his entire history as been that of a radical, and has yet to assume his office? Does anyone else get the impression that the Iranians would rather watch Obama than any of its domestically produced sitcoms?

9. Another problem that predates Mr. Obama is the Islamizing of Turkey, but of course Mr. Obama is doing his part to make matters even worse in that country. By all means, let Turkey join the European Union.

10. Mr. Obama now wants to negotiate with the Taliban. I can hear them snorting in the background.

For those who argue that Obama lacks an open mind, I would say that there is no way his mind could be more open than it is now … it is so open, in fact, we can feel the draft rushing through his head. And none of this is even remotely amusing.
