Has Obama 'Lost the World' and Paved the Way for an Era of Global Conflict?
Topics: Political News and commentariesHas Barack Obama set the stage for nothing less than a war for the Free World? Frank Gaffney makes the argument that this is the case and that Obama's policies have paved the way for a fight to the death with Islamofascists, Muslim extremists driven by a totalitarian political ideology that is determined to destroy freedom and the people who love it:
Conventional wisdom has it that the 2012 presidential election will be all about the dismal economy, unemployment and the soaring deficit. That appears a safe bet because such matters touch the electorate, are much in the news at the moment and have indisputably become worse on Barack Obama's watch.More here ...It seems increasingly likely, however, that the American people will have a whole lot more to worry about by next fall. Indeed, the way things are going, by November 2012, we may see the Middle East - and perhaps other parts of the planet - plunged into a cataclysmic war.
Consider just a few of the straws in the wind of a gathering storm: ...
Barry Rubin, who claims to have written more thoroughly documented words and provided more factually based analysis explaining why Obama's Middle East policy is so bad than he has, writes that when he's often asked whether he believe this situation is caused by a deliberate, conscious effort to destroy U.S. interests, subvert Israel's existence, and promote anti-American Islamists on the part of the president and his closest colleagues ... he answers no:
... it is the result of ignorance, incompetence, and a ridiculous ideological approach that has nothing to do with reality. But, I add, it certainly says something that the policy is so bad that it makes people think that deliberate treason is a credible explanation.Interestingly, Rubin's views and opinions dovetail nicely with what Gaffney has to say. Take the time to read Rubin's entire piece here.... First, Obama thinks he's very knowledgeable about Islam, based on very limited personal contacts. Aside from his profound misunderstandings, his experiences come from Indonesia, the place where mainstream Islam was more moderate than in any other Muslim-majority country. And even that predates the infusion of Wahhabi and al-Qaeda radical thinking and theology even in that country.
In my opinion, the worst single blunder of Obama in the Middle East was his Cairo speech telling people in the region that they should perceive their primary identity as Muslim rather than in national terms. The idea that political Islam could be some asset for the United States -- rather than an enemy being held back largely by nationalism -- was like putting a big bomb next to a fragile dam. Yet Obama thought it was some act of far-sighted genius on his part because he could tame political Islam.
Second, Obama is a narrow-minded and arrogant man who understands little about international affairs or the profound differences of other cultures. He neither listens to ideas outside his own conception nor heeds proof that he has failed. A clever evil genius adjusts himself to circumstances, determined he will always look good. Obama is merely wrong and incompetent, openly displaying ignorance.
And then there's this sobering perspective: From Tunisia To The Justice Department: A Clean Sweep For Islam
