Watching Obama kowtow to Iran in dealing with their vassal state, Syria, sickens me -- especially considering how he he supported the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow of our 30-year ally in Egypt.
And here it is again. Now Obama is calling for Syrian President Assad to resign, finally, and only after it becomes clear that he can and will support the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Syria.
Obama ignored the true revolution for freedom, the real "people's movement" in Iran back in June 2009. It's what the free world was waiting for. That was the historical crossoroads; that was the moment where the ensuing human events could have gone for good or for evil. Finally, we could behead the head of the snake of a decades-long Islamic war on the West led by Iran. Obama ........ sided with the enemy. Despite the mass death and murder at the hands of the mullahcracy, the coldblooded Muslim Brotherhood stooge in the White House pretended not to be aware of it -- and when the deaths of thousands became too bloody to ignore, he supported the brutal Islamic put-down of men, women, children, Muslims, non-Muslims, the hijabed, the uncovered, the lipsticked, the young and the old.
This was not so when the Islamic spring came to US-allied Muslim countries.
And the world will be a far different and uglier place then the world he inherited. Imagine the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood abroad and stateside -- the eventualities couldn't be worse.
Report: U.S. favoring Muslim Brotherhood groups in Syria for sake of stability (Thanks to Marisol)
Ignoring Benjamin Franklin's admonition, they apparently prefer to sell out liberty for temporary security, all the while wallowing in wishful thinking about the Brotherhood's intentions. They will indeed wind up with neither liberty nor security in Syria. "Report: U.S. Favors Muslim Brotherhood Over Pro-democracy Syrian Opposition," from the World Tribune, August 17:
WASHINGTON -- The administration of President Barack Obama has selected the Muslim Brotherhood over the pro-democracy opposition to lead Syria after the expected ouster of President Bashar Assad, a report said.The Hudson Institute, a leading consultant to the Defense Department, asserted that the administration has decided to work with Turkey and the Brotherhood in Syria for a post-Assad government. In a report by Herbert London, the institute said Obama has dismissed the pro-democracy opposition as an alternative."It would seem far more desirable to back the democratic influences -- the political organizations that require cultivation and support -- despite their relative weakness at this moment," the report, titled "U.S. Betrays Syria's Opposition," said. "It is these religious and secular groups that represent the real hope for the future and the counterweight to the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood."London, president of Hudson until 2011, said the State Department has ignored non-Brotherhood opposition groups. In July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invited Brotherhood operatives and urged them to work with Turkey to help oust Assad."Missing from the invitations are Kurdish leaders, Sunni liberals, Assyrians and Christian spokesmen," the report said. "According to various reports the State Department made a deal with Turkey and Muslim Brotherhood representatives either to share power with Assad to stabilize the government, or replace him if this effort fails."Hudson cited the Syrian Democracy Council, which contains a range of ethnic and religious minorities, including Alawites and Christians. SDC was not invited to the State Department."From the standpoint of Foggy Bottom [State Department] it is far better to promote stability even if this means aligning oneself with the goals of presumptive enemies," the report said. "This, however, is a dangerous game that not only holds U.S. interests hostage to the Muslim Brotherhood, but also suggests that the withdrawal of American forces from the region affords the U.S. very few policy options."Officials confirmed the State Department invitation to Brotherhood-aligned opposition groups. They said the Brotherhood has often boycotted U.S.-sponsored sessions that included organizations opposed by the Islamist movement.London said the U.S. ban on SDC represented an insult to pro-democracy forces in Syria. He cited reports that the Brotherhood was playing a major role in attacks on Syrian security forces in a campaign supported by Iran, Jordan and Turkey."At the very least Secretary Clinton should hear the SDC argument," the report said. "Leaving this body out of the Syrian conversation is an insult to what America purports to care about. Assad should see that his opponents are not merely those complicit in stabilizing a murderous regime, but those with genuine democratic impulses and who represent a significant portion of the Syrian people."




Obama is just a puppet who became a president on false promises...

I didn't think that there could be a president less liked by people than George W. Bush, but I'm proven wrong by Mister Obama!

So when did Hussein call for Assad to resign?
After pretty much everybody else did in the world. After the Iranians evicted their embassies and moved their "diplomats" to the Lebanon border basically accepting the fact that their chinless puppet is no more.
Iran abandoned Assad and Assad was caught persecuting Syrians from the US Embassy and via other state missions. Then the Obama admin expressed "concern".
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/obama-tolerates-terror-operations-run-out-of-syrias-embassy/2011/03/29/gIQAEyUTLJ_blog.html#pagebreak
"Syria is taking its war against President Bashar al-Assad’s political opponents global, using diplomats in Washington, London and elsewhere to track and intimidate expatriates who speak out against the Damascus regime, according to Syrian dissidents and U.S. officials.
Syrian embassy staffers are tracking and photographing antiregime protesters and sending reports back home, Syrian activists and U.S. officials say. Syrian diplomats, including the ambassador to the U.S., have fanned out to Arab diaspora communities to brand dissidents “traitors” and warn them against conspiring with “Zionists.”
The Journal found half-a-dozen Syrian-Americans who “say that as a result of their activities in the U.S., family members have been interrogated, threatened or arrested in Syria. The Obama administration says it has ‘credible’ evidence that the Assad regime is targeting relatives of Syrian-Americans who have participated in peaceful U.S. protests.”
Zuhdi Jasser, a Syrian American and founder of Save Syria Now!, tells me, “I am thrilled that our media, and in some ways, though certainly not enough, our government are finally having an epiphany about the fear of the mukhabarat [intelligence services] that our Syrian families live with day in and day out since many of our families escaped the ‘prison’ which is Syrian citizenship.” He explains, “Pretty much every Syrian that I have known in my 43 years acknowledges in some way or other (either as courageous victims, useful idiots, or out and out regime accomplices on American soil) the overwhelming, sophisticated, and suffocating operation of Syrian intelligence services in the United States and Europe. They have long used American social and familial networks to extract information about any potential threat to Assad’s regime.”
What has the administration done about protecting its own citizens and those already in peril in Syria? Well the FBI has investigated. But all we’ve done, as far as I can tell, is — you guessed it — taken “very seriously” these reports, according to a State Department flunky."
So after the Saudis dumped Assad and even the Iranians (and the Turks) and we are hearing that even Medvedev is preparing some statement to that effect, Hussein comes out and calls for his resignation. BUT not before he is assured that the Muslim Brotherhood is well placed to fill the void.
So now Israel will have 2 Muslim Brotherhood controlled states on its borders. One already facilitated an attack on Israel today killing 6 http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/08/18/israel.shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
Obama then calls upon them to apologize to Turkey...
You can't make this shiZ up.

Once again by his actions Obama proves that he is a Muslim.

After all he is the one that put members of the Muslim Brotherhood into Homeland security. And I think based on his past that he is the one that warned the Muslim Brotherhood which chopper flight was carrying the Seal Team Six members as well. This president is out to ruin our nation and our allies he capitulated to the Chines demands and stopped the sale of fighter planes to Taiwan, he has abandoned Israel while building up the Muslim Brotherhood in the region even to include the sale of M1A1 tanks and other weapons systems to our enemies.

Muslim Obama was another great gift from the grand parent of Democrats the Brits after they gave America The Jerk Jimmy Carter in 1979.
