Little did I suspect how prophetic my comments were following the attack on the US Embassy in Cairo. An Egyptian mob stormed the US Embassy in Cairo, tore down the American flag and destroyed it on the anniversary of 9/11 and replaced it with an Islamic flag associated with Muslim terrorists.
I asked then “How is democracy working out for you, America, with the new ‘Arab Spring’ you encouraged in the Middle East?”
Today came the tragic news of the murder of the American Ambassador at the US Consulate in Libya, and my question now demands a clear answer from the Obama-Clinton Administration whose foreign policy lies in tatters in the Middle East.
For two years I, and other Israeli experts, have insisted that the Arab Spring is, in reality, the Islamic Winter. We were right. You were wrong.
When will the American president stop making abject statements like the one that followed the attack in Cairo, blaming non-Muslims (meaning Christians and Jews) for the widespread Islamic chaos, murder, and mayhem that is the Middle East?
We need an America to be the leader of the free world with backbone and with the clear-eyed vision of what is at the heart of the violence that is wracking our region. Instead, we have a wishy-washy, Obama-Clinton Hollywood ‘happy end’ version of a ‘global village’ where, in reality, we have a dangerous and deadly neighborhood.
On 9/11, Obama insulted non-Muslims in answer to the Egyptian Muslim targeting of America. By the way, the response from the US Embassy in Cairo was typical of the thick-headed, appeasing, foreign policy nonsense of the Obama-Clinton Administration. It condemned “the continuing efforts of misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”
Give me a break! Wake up America and smell the coffee!
The President and his advisers are leading America down the path of defeat and submission to an unrelenting enemy. Now he is trying to create an alibi for the murder of American diplomats.
Israeli television detailed the intelligence warning that was given to America of an impending al Qaida terror attack against US targets in revenge for the drone assassination of a leading Libyan terrorist, Abu Yahya al-Libi. This included a video from Al Qaida leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, calling on local cells to avenge the death of al-Libi, the Libyan. Despite this, America took no (read ‘zero’) action is boosting security of their embassies and consulates throughout the volatile Middle East, including Libya, even on 9/11. http://www.reuters.com/video/2012/09/11/al-qaeda-leader-al-zawahiri-confirms-mil?videoId=237652124
Instead, the American public is being fed the line that it was an amateur movie featuring Mohammed that led to the death of the US Ambassador in Benghazi. It wasn’t. It was the well prepared attack by thirty Al Qaida terrorists armed with the most sophisticated weaponry that was allowed to succeed with impunity as American intelligence and security were asleep on their watch. http://tribune.com.pk/story/435914/attack-on-us-consulate-may-have-been-planned-in-advance/
If Israel, the Quilliam Foundation, and other agencies knew about this, how come American intelligence, the State Department, and the White House didn’t know? This is a clear failure of national security. As such, a Commission of Enquiry must be held to investigate what the Administration know, or did not know. Definite intelligence as to specific targets, perpetrators, and timing, are not necessary. It shloud have been sufficient to receive the Al-Qaida warning and call for action which was recevied just days before 9/11 to take preventative action, especially in Libya the home nation of al-Libi.
On the same 9/11 Obama refused to meet the head of America’s strongest ally in the Middle East, namely Israel’s Prime Minister, on the serious global issue of a nuclear Iran. This is not the first time that President Obama has snubbed Israel’s leader since taking office. Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House side office while Obama went to dine with his family in May 2011.
It took three votes and much vocal opposition by Arab delegates to the Democratic Party Convention in August 2012 to approve recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Even after that vote the State Department still refuses to name Israel’s capital. In answer to the question “Which city does the US Government recognize as the capital of Israel”” the State Department Press Secretary, Patrick Ventrell, gave a rambling non-answer that echoed the earlier denials of White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, and Victoria Nuland, that Israel has a capital that the Obama Administration recognizes.
Trust is a vital component for America’s closest allies. Countries such as Israel depend on a strong and confident America that can formulate and express affirmative action, and stand by its commitments around the world. But when the American leadership is unable to influence an unruly and violent region, or control the dangerous ambitions of enemy regimes such as Iran, or even formulate what actions it is prepared to take, if any, against the threat of a nuclear Iran, then trust quickly erodes into lack of confidence and faith in America as the world’s super power that truly has Israel’s back. When that happens the free world is in jeopardy.
America! Get real before you, and we, have more deaths. Instead of appeasing your enemies, learn to affirmatively support your allies, such as Israel, against our joint enemies.
For the sake of Western values and security, and the safety of the free world, the American president must change his dangerous, vacuous, and appeasing foreign policy, or America must change its president.

@ bahmi:
What on earth are you talking about????
Were President Obama’s mother, stepmother and maternal grandmother Jewish? As a child did Barack Obama go to synagogue and learn how to read the torah in Hebrew. And if he had done so, would it have had any influence on his current worldview and policies as President? Well, Barack Obama himself has told us that his father, stepfather, and grandfather were Muslim and that he studied the Koran as a child. To say this is no “smear,” but rather the first step toward understanding what is transpiring in the United States today. There, one of the principal tenets of Obamism is the false proposition that — whether at home or abroad — Muslims are generally an historically-disadvantaged population, whose history is in some sense to be compared to the tragic story of Black Americans. This convoluted and perverse ideology was not originated by President Obama, but it is certainly championed by President Obama. And with this understanding, we need not awaken each morning expecting CNN to tell us that the US Airforce has just taken out Iran’s nuclear installations. None of that is ever going to happen as long as Barack Obama is President of the United States. Killing Osama bin Laden and the occasional drone strike are just the bare minimum that Obama has to do to maintain his “John Wayne” credibility with the hoi polloi. However, the really important stuff like withdrawing from Iraq, allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons and trying to sink Israel are all vintage Obama! In this sense, President Obama is definitely the Mansurian candidate. He was certainly born Muslim which is why he has two Muslim names. He most probably actively practiced Islam until the age of ten, about which we have plenty of evidence. And thereafter, he most certainly maintained close ties with Muslims. Taken together, the evidence suggests that Obama may perhaps have maintained something of a Muslim self-identification well into his third decade. Am I ashamed to raise this matter? To the contrary, the fact that I point to these things is a sure indication of my intellectual integrity, by contrast with those who daily lie to the American people to deny the political nature of Islam, its hostility to the Western World and the threat that Islam poses to the United States.
Obama Gets A Gigantic Bounce In The New Fox News Poll
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2012/09/12/fox-news-poll-obama-tops-romney-in-post-convention-poll-most-say-country-still/
Romney has his good points, like his allegiance to our cause, but is he good for Americans and America? America is reeling under the oxbow of an insane president who’s predominate allegiance is obvious. From my analysis, this Romney is Obama II. He’s a warhawk, wars that have drained Americans of their loose change will be his stock and trade. As such, can we stand a “supporter” who has nasty body odor? America can no longer choose the necessary candidates because of our tampering. Admit it, what is good for goose may well not be good for gander. We are playing with fire, Americans are likely to have civil war if we have another carbon copy of this flunkie Obama.
Here is an article in a French newspaper from Montreal: La Presse.
You can translate it via google or I can do that for you all if you like but it contains a video with Mitt Romney declaring that he is against a Palestinian state.

Romney should have the support of 100% of Jewish American voters.
