Topic: Get Ready for Obama's Operation "Mamluk Resurrection"

OK I made up the Operation "Mamluk Resurrection" line, but really, we know this walking fustercluck will just allow extremists to carve out another foothold in the former Levant, right?

Saw this today, via Gateway Pundit:

YNet has published a lengthy interview with two Syrian dissidents who have found temporary asylum in the United States. The two are still considered to be in danger - as are their families back in Syria - so they are referred to by pseudonyms, and the reporter did not even disclose the name of the city outside which they live. But the interview included this shocker in the middle.

    A few weeks ago, Amar met with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He presented to her, among other things, information about soldiers who defected and plan to launch a guerilla fight against the army. “To my surprise, she asked that the defectors lay down their arms,” he says. “That’s an odd request. Why didn’t they ask the rebels in Libya to lay down their arms? How can they do it if at any moment they can be fired at and murdered? It’s impractical.”

Is she out of her mind? Does this reflect Obama administration policy? (Yes and yes).

Mixed messages much?

It's because the defectors are military, and like the military in Egypt, they are viewed as part of the problem, not part of the solution.  They lack the radical Muslim street cred required of Obama Regime PTB's to bless, populist uprisings need to be taken over by extremists or else Obama & Clinton see no point in supporting it.  It's an effed up world made more effed up by the likes of Obama & Clinton!  A military coup that puts a less crazy bastard in control in that part of the world might be the best anyone can get, a legitimate freedom movement would be nice, but there is just no history to anchor something so alien like that to in this region.  Once again Team Obama is set to screw things up even worse.  Everything they touch turns to sh*t!
