.... This Prog position is becoming clearer. Progs are against Shiites, but wish to make common cause with Sunnis. Progs were upset at Bush for taking out Sunnis. Principles have nothing to do with their position. For their collectivizing, liberty-destroying cause, they will sacrifice millions in a heartbeat. Simply put, elite Sunnis have better standing with the Prog NWO than Shia. If there is another explanation, test it against Ann Coulter's analysis.
Saddam was much worse than Assad, yet Obama was loud against striking Iraq. So what's the principled difference? The "principle" is that Obama identifies with the Sunnis who sponsor the Muslim Brotherhood. Everything else from the regime consists of lies and bs. Yes, Valerie Jarrett has ties with Shia Iran. However, she also has ties with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. And there are other Muslims who are close to the regime. Like Huma Abedin, Hilary's former assistant, who is Sunni. It's not that Obama disagrees with the substance of Rev. Wright or Osama Bin Ladin. It's that he disagrees with their methods. Obama's style is to lay the groundwork to restore the Caliphate and mesh it with political invasion, so the West does not see what's coming until it's too late. Taquia, not toppling towers.
Although the Muslim Brotherhood is predominantly Sunni in doctrine, it has Shia associates in Iran. It's purpose is foremost to wage jihad for Islam. Once shariah and the caliphate are established, then issues of doctrine can be sorted out. Both Sunnis and Shia have an idea of a Mahdi. Just the sort of thing to appeal to someone who fancies himself as being God's gift to the world. That's the creepy thing about pictures of Obama adoring himself in the mirror. This makes the gun running behind Benghazi even creepier. Putin is surely considering that Obama's ego sees himself as being either the Mahdi or a precursor. So Putin will consider how to use Obama's grand delusion against him. Either way, the world, with Obama's fu fingers on big buttons, is in a tight fix.
I can't support Obama using the American military as al Qaeda's air force. Ted Cruz is right: Nothing good can come of this. If Obama wants more trust, he must first kick the muslims out of the WH! The situation is probably not as good as it looks.
I've read elsewhere that Assad is Sunni, ruling over majority Shia Syria. Wheels within wheels.
We should have moved against Iran already. As we haven't, we should not further destabilize yet ANOTHER country in the Middle East, particularly based on what this Regime is telling us. They lie. About everything.
As I wrote elsewhere on this thread:
"Not only are the British not coming, the Germans, the French, the UN, and the Canadians are not coming either. Nor is NATO. The Russians, however, will be kibitzing from the sidelines, with a big fat raspberry to Obongo, who has not properly gone to Congress for authorization to lob a few cruise missiles, for a couple-three days, at predetermined minor infrastructure targets, to not include Assad or his regime, beginning on a certain date, all of which have been announced to the world,
despite there being no US national interest, nor national security issue at stake.
That about cover it?"
Plus, the Arabs are agreeing to pay
us for putting the lives of
our military at stake? Oh, hell no.
If Iran launches against Israel, we will then have a reason to get involved as Israel is an ally. If and until then ....... no.
