Either all of Israel is illegitimate (which may be what Obama thinks) or the “settlements” are on Israeli land by UN declaration and the right recognized for all nations victorious in war throughout history — except Israel in 1948 and 1967. Once again the U.S. supports “Palestinian” jihad propaganda — and what did it get […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Obama’s Absurd West Point Speech
In FrontPage today I discuss how Obama identified terrorism as the greatest threat we face, while having forbidden discussion of what exactly that terrorism is. Barack Obama gave the commencement address at the United States Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, and piled absurdity upon absurdity. “For the foreseeable future, the most direct threat […]
U.S. to keep 9,800 troops in Afghanistan
This makes sense. After all, the jihadis who infiltrate the Afghan military and police forces will need targets. And the increasingly hostile Karzai and his successor will need those bags of no-strings-attached CIA cash still delivered regularly to their offices. “U.S. to keep 9,800 troops in Afghanistan,” by Julie Pace, Associated Press, May 27, 2014: […]
Obama close to authorizing military training of Syrian jihadists
The story says that he is going to authorize training of “moderate Syrian rebels.” The problem with this is that there is no significant Western-oriented or pluralist force among the Syrian rebels. Even the New York Times acknowledged this, over a year ago: “Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.” […]
Obama backs off drone strikes
There go the last vestiges of any serious counterterror effort from the Obama Administration. Islamic supremacists and Leftist jihad enablers have been pressuring him for years to do this, and have heaped all kinds of outlandish abuse upon him for not jumping immediately to do their bidding. Most outlandishly of all, this most Islamophilic of […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 5 New Hashtags for Michelle Obama
Over at PJ Media I offer my contribution to the New Diplomatic Style: Michelle Obama’s #BringBackOurGirls hashtag, although taken up among the glitterati, has been ridiculed as emblematic of her husband’s weakness and lack of will in the face of Islamic jihad. This is, however, unfair not only to Mrs. Obama, but to Sylvester Stallone, […]
White House contacted YouTube over Muhammad video during Benghazi attack
“A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the ‘ramifications’ of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video.” The White House says this confirms their version of events, but Issa says: “The e-mail shows the White […]
Obama sends 80 U.S. troops to Chad to help search for Nigerian schoolgirls
This move is an absolute masterpiece of style over substance. The girls were not from Chad, but from Nigeria. Does the U.S. government have any reason to believe that they are now in Chad? No, this isn’t based on any new intelligence. These 80 troops will fly reconnaissance missions to look for the girls. But […]
Obama Administration distances itself from Libyan general who vowed to rid Libya of jihadists
Whatever else may be true about Barack Obama, one thing is certain: he always acts in ways that aid and abet the advance of Sharia and Islamic supremacism. He killed bin Laden and Awlaki, and keeps up the drone strikes, you say? Whatever involvement he may have had in those things, he has always acted […]
Democrats scuttle key pro-Israel legislation in bid to appease Obama on Iran
“Menendez called off the vote in order to prevent Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) from introducing an amendment that would grant Congress a final say on any deal the Obama administration strikes with Iran regarding its contested nuclear program.” Because we all know that Barack Obama and John Kerry can be fully trusted to make […]
