No fear … no respect …

Opinion by AAABTonto:

What is hard to understand about the weakness that pacifism broadcasts? How is it that defending one’s self is seen as “uncivil” by the progressive mindset? Is not the best offense oft described as a good defense? Well, sure it is, unless … you’re a candy-ass!

Yea, I said it … Our President is a wussy. The Obama administration’s foreign policy is perplexing to say the least. Its seemingly directionless aim has alienated allies and emboldened our enemies without any demonstrable goals. The Arab Spring has done nothing to coagulate freedom and or democracy in the Middle East, in fact, it has left a power vacuum in Libya and Egypt. Encouraged Islamists are on the march and Christian persecution is at a near genocidal scale throughout eastern Africa, the Middle East and Indonesia.

The Egyptians have, at least, realized their mistaken embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, whom the Obama administration helped ensconce and appear to want a Mulligan in the apparent hope for a more secular government that will be more tourist friendly—Egypt’s primary economic engine.

Barack Obama: US ‘won’t retreat from the world’

The US won’t retreat? We already have and are in the very process of retreat! We’re leaving Afghanistan and we should have stayed in Iraq to control that airspace instead of capitulating it to Iran—big mistake that will bite us near the short hairs!

Speaking of Iran, they have a “new” president, Hasan Rouhani. The Obama administration is hopeful that they can work with Iran’s new leader—in name only. However, Rouhani may not be the agreeable statesman that was hoped for. Take into account the selections for his cabinet who, according to the estimable American media, are “reform minded or moderate technocrats”. Mahmoud Alavi, Mr. Rouhani’s choice for minister of intelligence said, “Sacrificing life is easy for a nation in which a culture of martyrdom has been institutionalized,” at a ceremony last fall. “The Iranian nation . . . will never back down against the arrogance.” On Iranian state TV in October Alavi said: “The Americans can’t even take on the pupils of our revolution, namely Hezbollah and Hamas. How dare they even consider a plot against our nation when twice they’ve been defeated by our pupils?”

Mostafa Pourmohammadi, Iran’s new minister of justice said, “With our actions and our resistance, we have cornered the arrogance. We have severely frightened and confused the arrogance.”

The “arrogance”  in both instances is the United States. On May 8, 2013, while Mr. Rouhani was campaigning for the presidency he gave a speech in the city of Karaj and said, “Saying ‘Death to America’ is easy. We need to express ‘Death to America’ with action. Saying it is easy.” 

I don’t think that the Obama administration is going to get the cooperation they hoped for with Iranian president Rouhani.

America as Pill Bug. Closing our embassies was prudent in the short term. But what message does it send? – Victor Davis Hanson

What signal does closing our embassies send? What if the “specific threat” that the security gurus claimed was forthcoming was a ruse? The terrorists must be laughing themselves silly.

Obama on threats: ‘We don’t get terrorized’

If we weren’t being terrorized then we wouldn’t find the need to close our embassies. If we weren’t being terrorized we wouldn’t have had the casualties that resulted from the bombing at the Boston Marathon or the “workplace violence” at Fort Hood! This is beyond ridiculous, beyond cowardice … this is negligence in the first degree!

But al Qaeda is “decimated”? Someone forgot to tell them that they were impotent and to stay home …

Obama/Biden Montage: We “Decimated Al Qaeda”

Is there a considerable alternative reason that the President chose to close up shop? A note of irony: we can close down our embassies abroad, but we can’t shut down the government—we have to keep spending exorbitant amounts of money? We really do not know the true motivations of Barack Obama … but his track record of appeasement and the wake of destruction behind him do little to build our confidence

WOW! – IS THIS THE REASON? Night of Power and Barack Obama

IF … the President is a Muslim he must not be a very good one … because they don’t respect him. They don’t fear him. They are devoted to Alla and jihad and nothing Obama says or does is going to altar their vision or their intent. What I think is inconsequential, but what Islamists think is not; Obama is kuffar … he is the Great Satan.
