The WH once again sides with the Islamists / Fundamentalists

Egypt’s Morsi and his Islamist friends and peers the Muslim Brotherhood were given an ultimatum by the Egyptian national army – resolve the protesters’ demands – in other words come to some agreement or we will initiate a plan for the future of Egypt. Morsi has been packing government (national and local) positions with Islamists. The MB’s grip on the nation is tight and there is very little if not no room left for leadership in the country that has not embraced an Islamist’s position. Islamist is the new way to say fundamentalist since fundamentalist has been the consistent tag & position of the terrorist organizations. The political hand of the same body has allocated this term (Islamist) so as to give them a clean, righteous and respectable position which also should (they hope) muddy the connection between them and the terrorists.

So the protesters who want a secular society are not only left without a say in the government they are squeezed tighter and tighter by the religion extremism of those who have the power.

What is O’s reaction to the ultimatum? Would he side with the protesters and their plea for democracy and separation of religion and state powers? Ha! True to his colors which he refuses to admit blatantly in public, he sides with the Islamists. The impudent president of the USA, the person (note the non-use of the word “man”) who held his mouth when the so-called Arab Spring swept inside Iran – has once again scrambled to reinforce and strengthen the Fundamentalist.

It will be interesting to see how the events in Egypt play out. Shame on the president of the USA.

Iran agrees to halt 20-percent uranium enrichment

To my amazement this story has yet to break through in the USA.

Debka reported yesterday that Russia says Iran is willing to agree to halting 20% uranium enrichment.

The article is worth the minute to read.

It seems that the announcement was made deliberately right before a G8 announcement was going to be made that Assad must step down and a transitional government be put in place in Damascus.

Of course Russia was against said announcement/action and miraculously pulled the Iran statement out of thin air.

It would see the implication is if you want Iran to halt 20% uranium enrichment then Assad has to stay in power in Syria.

This will be interesting to see how it actually plays out over the next few days.

THEN & ONLY THEN

Interview transcript

2 cents:

When they stop killing each other because of religious differences…

When the arms are placed down and the people overwhelmingly stand up and cry out for peace and improvements in their quality of life…

When the citizens want freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…

THEN and ONLY THEN should the USA begin considering how we can help the nation.  Whether it is Syria, Iraq or wherever.

It is long overdue that the USA’s foreign policy be corrected so that it is aligned to the principles our country was founded on.

Focus domestically

The government of the USA has more than enough matters domestically that requires attention and/or funds to either create or improve so why not focus on those? Why spend dollars and other resources for a civil war in Syria, especially when your choice to back is the group that has blatantly and repeatedly pledged its allegiance to Al Qaida? Why continue funneling dollars (aka support) to nations that are hostile to either our country and/or way of life (see Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.) Why aren’t our so-called leaders making wise and sensible decisions? This really is a no-brainer. Focus domestically! Our infrastructure is in bad shape and that is an understatement. For example:

  • the electric grid for our nation is outdated
  • many bridges and roads have not been updated/repaired/serviced
  • cellular and broadband access shouldn’t have dark spots
  • even irrigation improvements for farms and parks needs to be evaluated.

I am sure there are many more matters I am missing.

As far as political mines we have border security, making us oil-independent, alternative energy needs – surely you see the point. FOCUS DOMESTICALLY.

I am not one who supports the idea of a UN — BUT — since it is there, don’t you think the matters in Syria should fall in their lap? If they are having a civil war – it happens. In civil wars, people die and eventually one is left standing and they rule the country. This is a matter for the UN and border nations. We have no business with Syria, so why are we going to meddle? Whatever side we pick we are allies with people who are aligned with terrorist organizations.

Sensible?

NSA is vacuuming in the millions of calls, email, internet communications DAILY all under the guise of identifying terrorists. [Wink, wink] Yet they are excluding MOSQUES! No – really! IBD Article on 6/12.

Now explain to me the sensible, wise reasoning behind such a strategy? Add to this the fact that “Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover sting operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.”

Another person involved in the Benghazi COVER-UP is getting a cushy role. CIA deputy director who played a key role in editing the administration’s controversial talking points is “retiring” to spend more time with family BUT he was immediately appointed by the Chief Empty Suit to serve on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board which is an INDEPENDENT advisory board. [See “no oversight”] Remember Rice received the top UN job which did not require vetting or approval from Congress. See a pattern?

This evening – New York Times is reporting:

“American intelligence analysts now believe that President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have used chemical weapons against rebel forces in the civil war in Syria, an assessment that will put added pressure on a deeply divided Obama administration to develop a response to a provocation that the president himself has declared a “red line.”

The belief is chemical weapons have been used several times on a small scale.

Quick update…

since I have the time…

NY Post story that O has made a secret deal to throw his support for a Hillary 2016 presidential run and Bill is twisting his arm to make sure he follows through.

US is arming Jordan due to the conflict in Syria.

It’s being reported by France that Israel believes Russian anti-aircraft missiles won’t be ready for delivery until early 2013. Why this update hasn’t been covered by Fox or CNN seems curious.
