I predicted some time ago that Osama bin Laden’s death could lead to a strengthening of ties between al-Qaeda and Egypt, which is now controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian doctor, succeeded bin Laden and comes from the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Now we’re seeing Egypt’s President Mohammad Morsi, who is also from the Muslim Brotherhood, call on the U.S. to prosecute filmmakers for allegedly insulting Islam. They’re both working toward the same goal: humiliating America and imposing Islamist speech standards on us.
As we now know, the film had nothing to do with the attacks in Cairo or Libya. The attacks were pre-planned and warned of on Monday. The attackers want something: the release of the sheikh who masterminded the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Zawahiri re-iterated that demand today. Al-Qaeda’s and Egypt’s interests have been converging, and they snapped together on the 11th anniversary of 9-11.
They are, then, terrorists who are demanding that the United States violate our laws and release an enemy agent. Egypt’s president has taken their side against us.
It’s all so clear that the MSM will never see it.
And while all of this is going on — Egypt and al Qaeda getting close, Egypt imposing Islamic speech standards on the U.S. — the president jets off to a posh fundraiser in Vegas. The same city he denigrated a couple of years ago. The MSM isn’t questioning the optics of this.
Now Obama rips Romney for “shooting first” in reaction to the attacks. While the attacks happened, where was the president? Silent.
Mitt Romney provided leadership, at a moment the @USEmbassyCairo was selling out our First Amendment values. The Obama administration only disavowed those statements once they were clearly causing serious problems.
Obama now says that we should cut those staff in Cairo some slack. We should not criticize them from the “comfort of a campaign office.”
No. The president is wrong. Brave men and women have died establishing and defending those values.
The embassy staff were in Cairo to represent America and our values, not apologize for them.
Barack Obama still does not understand American values. Or he rejects them.
Either way, he fails to defend them. Mitt Romney spoke up when the president failed to provide leadership in a moment of crisis. At a moment when the Middle East was spinning out of control and the proverbial 3 am crisis call came in, America did not appear to have a president at all.
Until Mitt Romney spoke up, anyway.
An American president should always been the first one to defend our interests and our values. But Barack Obama is consistently among the last to defend America. He is far more comfortable excusing her or apologizing for her.
When America is attacked, Barack Obama is not a reliable defender of our values.
It’s not that this president has no fight in him. He does.
In the beginning of his term, when Republicans pressed him on his plans, he shut them down by telling them “I won.”
He fought hard for the stimulus and ObamaCare, pushing against the tides of public opinion.
To Hispanics, he advised that they should “punish their enemies.”
Barack Obama understands the difference between friends and enemies.
The question is, in his mind, who is who?
I understand Dempsey has now taken it upon himself to start makng phone calls to American citizens on this subject, presumably in an official capacity, presumably to chastise or intimidate.
If the man wishes to be national security advisor, he should resign and go do so. Otherwise, the CJCS is not a proconsular position. It has no political authority, only military, and Dempsey should strictly restrict himself to those areas, since he appears to lack judgment.
I will add that I find it incredulous that the left, which thinks everything Christianity avers should be rigorously tested and challenged, somehow thinks not one thing in Islam should be looked at in askance. Not one thing. For free-thinkers, the left doesn’t seem to range very freely in their thought.
“An American president should always been the first one to defend our interests and our values. But Barack Obama is consistently among the last to defend America. He is far more comfortable excusing her or apologizing for her.”
It is likely that the President doesn’t share our values. Recall Michelle Obama’s startling statement:
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.”
wGraves-you hit the point dead on. Barack HUSSEIN Obama has interests which are diametrically/dangerously opposed to American interests.
Alongside Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin (with others behind the scenes), the Islamist-in-Chief is doing the bidding of the RED/GREEN alliance. An alliance of convenience for now – long enough to knock the U.S. down to third world size – which will take on a life of its own in the future. But, the enemy of my enemy is (for now) my friend.

And so what if the film stimulated the A Holes? If memory serves me right, Hollywood was making those moralistic anti-German propaganda films during WW2 and I don’t recall anyone apologizing to the Germanic world when they doubled down on the level of killings. So, regarding the national security threesome, Hillary, Samantha, and Susan, how’s that Libyan Arab Spring thing working out for you? Well, ladies, after those coordinated attacks by moderate Arab democrats how do you spell grovel? At least Jimmy Carter could hide his stretch marks when he smiled.
For who?
Barack Obama fights hard for Barack Obama, and nobody else.
Obama has a problem. He’s got terrorists to his East in Egypt and Libya, and terrorists to his West in Chicago. The problem isn’t the terrorism, the problem is that the terrorists represent a significant part of his base.
You know, upon further reflection, I think we are all being a little harsh towards Barry. I mean, name me *one* time when a Democratic president essentially ignoring attacks on American embassies in Africa has ever led to bigger trouble later down the road. Name me just one time.
Visions of aircraft and burning buildings and police and firemen all swirl around in my head while reading your post, but I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything. What could go wrong with our current policy? I’m sure that with some skillful dialog, apologies and billions of dollars that can’t be traced everything will work out fine. We have peace in our time. I will begin by apologizing for some of the things I’ve said about Islam, namely [profanities deleted].
An American president should always been the first one to defend our interests and our values. But Barack Obama is consistently among the last to defend America. He is far more comfortable excusing her or apologizing for her.
Go see Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2016. It explains Obama. After seeing it last night, Obama’s response is not only understandable, it’s predictable.
Forgot to ad my id.
Well, here’s a thought: It was less bloody than the Ft. Hood shooting. Maybe they should just deny that it was more jihad, just like at Ft. Hood.
Yes, a careful study will be done and this will be another cae of “workplace violence.”
I am saddened by the news and my thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in service of our country.
Again, I am embarrassed by the cowardice of the current POTUS and his cool and calculated response. Will he ever care about anything other than himself? No.
How many terrorists attacks does this make on his watch? Too many. The bowing and scraping are not making us safer.
Well, let’s see, two well orchestrated attacks on U.S. diplomatic offices in two neighboring countries. What are the odds those attacks were coordinated between the Salafist leaders in both countries? Just about 100% I would say. There will be more over the coming days this week, especially following Friday prayers in much of the Islamic world. Oh, and some are reporting more trouble in Cairo right now [6:30pm EDT]. The Dreary Leader will continue to trash American values in his rush to avoid “Islamophobia.” After all, his middle name is Hussein, and as he told the Rev. Mr. Wright when he was “converting” to Christianity, his heart would always hold a warm feeling for Islam.
If he really converted from Islam to Christianity, where is the Muslim outrage at the apostate? That’s the death penalty!
Plenty of Islamists chant “Death to Obama”.
I’m sure they do see him as an apostate.
You naive, gullible fool Kitsune they chant ‘Death to Obama’ because he is the USURPER President of the USA. If they REALLY wanted to kill him as an apostate that would need a FATWA from an Imam or other CULT leader . So far that has NOT been forthcoming even though his upbringing in his ‘formative years’ in Jakarta was as a devout Mosque going Muslim as even HE confirms in his ‘Fantasy Story’ ooops sorry Autobiography ‘Dreams OF my father’ and what a Father that was.
Born to a Kenyan British Citizen Muslim, alcoholic, bigamous, womanizing, State Department declared Undesirable mooching alien, absentee Father and an underage mother and adopted by an Indonesian Muslim STEPFATHER. ALL members of BOTH his Paternal Families are Muslims even his Kenyan Grandmother who his LYING Election Committee told us was a Christian has not long returned (AFTER his election of course) from the completing the Haj at Mecca.
He was brought up and schooled as a Muslim in BOTH the State and the Catholic run MULTI FAITH schools he attended in Jakarta. When Barry was in Indonesia you had to be an Indonesian CITIZEN to go to State School, so maybe THATS why the Passport , College and Student loan records are HIDDEN. His contemporaries at school , one of whom is the current head of Garuda Airlines the Indonesian national airline,remember him as a devout Mosque going MUSLIM.
He took KORANIC STUDIES a Muslim ONLY subject at school a fact he himself ADMITS in his book DREAMS. He is on record as saying ‘If the Political will goes against them I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS” and also “the Muslim call to prayer is one of the MOST beautiful sounds on earth” .
He can also recite the Shahada in perfectly accented Koranic Arabic , must be a result of his MENGAGI studies a subject only DEVOUT Muslims take. According to Muslims anyone who says the Shahada, which calls Allah the PARAMOUNT God (why Paramount are there other LESSER Gods????) and claims Mohammad as his messenger , IS A MUSLIM.
So who is Barry HUSSEIN Soetero Kardashian America’s first Unqualified, Inefficient, Inexperienced, Gay, Celebrity USURPER President the man who tells us he has ‘ALWAYS been a Christian” well for a start he is a BLATANT BAREFACED LIAR .
It also raises the questions:-
“Can a member of a RACIST anti White, Anti Semitic, Anti American “Black Liberation Theology” Church which is closer to Islam than it is to Christianity be truly considered Christian? ” I THINK NOT.
and
“Why if he indeed is no longer Muslim , as he most certainly was, have Muslims not issued a FATWA against him calling for his death as an APOSTATE.”

This year’s October Surprise : Republican candidates rounded up and assassinated by the Feds.
“An American president should always been the first one to defend our interests and our values. But Barack Obama is consistently among the last to defend America. He is far more comfortable excusing her or apologizing for her.”
If this moron of a president will not secure our southern boarder why the hell should we expect him to secure our sovereign territory elsewhere in the world?
If 0bama (president 0) doesn’t do something about this the next 4 months are going to be grueling. The radical-rag heads will take every opportunity to get in ‘one more lick’ while the spinless-0 is around to do nothing.
Someone advising Mitt reads PJM and The Tatler especially.
Obama fights for Islam.
That should be obvious to anybody with more than two brain cells to rub together, at this point.
You betchum, Betty,
‘bam is pro-islamist all the way, and especially pro-the Muslim Brotherhood.
Carter gave us islamist Iran; ‘bam gave us islamist Egypt.
Have you seen the movie 2016?
what the attackers really want is the re-election of barack obama.
When the steely-eyed commander in chief gets his revenge for the attack on the unguarded embassy, the msm will tremble over his glory. It could last a month…right up until election day.
As Obama dithers expect the Red Chinese to apply pressure on Taiwan. Expect Iran to be even more vocal in its genocidal propaganda. Syria will crack down even more ruthlessly. And, Russia will do something to test the waters.
The world knows that Obama is weak. His indecision will lead the tyrants of the world to press their interests. The danger of Obama’s weakness is that if he feels cornered or if the election appears to him to be lost, expect over-reaction on his part.
Now Obama rips Romney for “shooting first” in reaction to the attacks. While the attacks happened, where was the president? Silent.
Well, it’s not like it was someone evil, I mean, like our own American police. Then…you can shoot first, because we all know that the police act stupidly. Not radical jihadists though. There’s a teachable moment in there somewhere.
And, if Barack Hussein Obama had a son, he might resemble a jihadist perhaps, so then it would be ok to shoot first and ask questions later.
Barack Obama understands the difference between friends and enemies.
Just ask Israel.
Just ask Poland.
Or perhaps instead, just ask Rashid Khalidi. Just ask the Blank Panters. Just ask George Soros. Just ask Bill Ayers. Just ask the Midwest Academy. Just ask Frank Marshall Davis.
The President is and has been leading us. And, the trip has been quite enlightening. I would like to thank Dante for his description of each ring as well.
Obama doesn’t always fight for Islam.
Sometimes he embraces Progressive-ism/Communism/Liberation theology.
Often he fights for The Barak.
And then there is Golf.
So Obams fights for Islam and Communism and himself and Golf.
Any time he has left is spent telling America to like him because with a few million changes, he likes America.
Sleeping, apologizing for America’s Imperialistic Colonialism and taking time to miss intelligence briefings round out his day.
weo, there will not be any revenge—unless it’s revenge against the people who made the allegedly blasphemous video.
Obama fights for Islam. He will not fight against it.
Given that the ‘events’ in Libya and Egypt are being under-reported, or (even) blamed on Romney.. I can’t help but remember that old chestnut from philosophy class:
“If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one there to see it, did it fall?”
Well, if American embassys burn in Libya and Egypt, and Americans are slaughtered, BUT the main media pays little or no attention, did anything happen in the Real World? After all, Obama is in Vegas. What do you think?
What happens in Libya stays in Libya.
Don’t forget this quote from Obama’s book Audacity of Hope:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
What did he mean by that?
Barak Obama …. the enemy of the free people of the United Sates of America.
The Mohammedans are laughing at you America you and your WIMP USURPER President. They attack TWO of your embassies SIMULTANEOUSLY on the anniversary of 9/11 and your pathetic REGIME is apologising to THEM even before the attacks take place. The USURPER has turned the USA in to a laughing stock all over the world.
The REGIME wants you to believe that an obscure little online movie trailer initiated this what a JOKE. So whey were all the Egyptians and Libyans shouting ‘”Were all OSAMAS- Obama”. Its the USURPER’s constant mantra of I KILLED OSAMA that has them riled up.
VERY MINOR POINT
VERY MINOR POINT: IT IS THE 3RD 9/11
In the 17th Century on a particular 9/11 in 1683, the cavalry of Jan III Sobieski erupted from the like totally impenetrable Vienna Woods to sweep over the Ottoman Sultan’s camp and baggage and route the giant Turkish forces which were laying siege to Vienna. Thus ended Islam’s last big attempt to Dhimmify Europe.
It was not until the 20th Century oil crisis that Europe gladly signed the European Arabian Dialogue Treaty to never again interrupt oil flow to Europe provided that in return the Europeans would allow free immigration from Arab lands with full political rights (welfare & unemployment & voting on arrival). The EAD Treaty is so obscure that it is not in Wiki. The EAD Treaty organization is so well-staffed it is like the UN organization in Europe.
Barack Hussein Obama is a Moslem.
He fights with his fellow Moslems, against us.
I have some stuff your readers might find interesting on Libya, Egypt, Obama and foreign policy.
