A New Great Game Across the Arc of Islam

US AND CHINA COMPETING FOR INFLUENCE
IN ENERGY-RICH, POST SOVIET CENTRAL ASIA


WASHINGTON ALARMED BY BEIJING'S STEALTHY DRIVE,


COMMENT: Everything old is new again. And the U.S. public is in the dark, as usual. The United States appears to have learned nothing of real importance from 9/11. Influenced by the crazy geopolitical theories of the catastrophic Carter administration's Zbigniew Brzezinski, architect of America's covert intervention in Afghanistan--on the Islamist side--and the Islamist overthrow of Iran's Shah, the U.S., under its first Muslim-born (according to Islamic law) and -reared President, is again stupidly and cynically attempting to ride the Islamist tiger without being eaten by it. Like 19th century Britain before it, the U.S., incredibly, still believes that right-wing political Islam can be managed and manipulated, divided and exploited--without blowing back horribly in America's face.

That's why the U.S. shows support and expresses concern (a favorite diplomatic word) for Chinese Muslim separatists, knowing how much it angers China and make bilateral cooperation on Iran's menacing nuclear and missile programs and a whole host of other issues, such as Chinese monetary reform and the trade imbalance, more difficult to achieve.

Using political Islam. That's what Obama's odious outreach to "the Muslim world" is really all about, the thinking that underlies his deliberate downgrading of the war on terrorism, his efforts to "engage" the Islamonazi Iranian regime--and Hitlerian Hamas and Hezbollah--his bizarre backing for the supposed rights of European burqa wearers, Islamizing Turkey's EU membership bid, the obscene Ground Zero mosque project, etc.

Using political Islam ... explains Obama's obsession with forcing Israel to withdraw to indefensible borders (which the late, great Israeli foreign minister, Abba Eban, a dedicated dove, described as "the Auschwitz lines") in order to make way for an irredentist Palestinian ministate likely to turn into yet another "Islamic republic."

Using political Islam. Thanks to the ignorant, indifferent--and biased--news media outlets, headed, for the most part, by administration flunkies and liberal idiots of appeasement, the public has no idea about what's really happening in the world.

Yes, Virginia, Islamist Terrorism is an 'Inside Job,' But Not the Way Left-Wing Loons Think it Is


Daniel Greenfield's analysis of Islamist terror is a must-read. An excerpt appears below.

Muslim terrorists are not a small bunch of loonies with a plan that can't possibly succeed, though the opponents of the War on Terror love to characterize them that way. They're a loosely affiliated global coalition of Muslim leaders, warlords, preachers, politicians, generals and tribes who are fighting to set up a global theocracy. Like the Nazis, their perfect social system is ultimately doomed to fall apart from its own unworkability, but by the time that happens, there may be no one left to rebuild civilization from the ruins of the Caliphate.

Within the Muslim world, terrorism is not a fringe event, but an inside job. Muslim terrorists are the 'privateers' of their culture. Raiders who carry out attacks, with the explicit or implicit support and permission of states and political factions. That support is not given haphazardly, it's a quid pro quo arrangement. Terrorist attacks serve the purposes of the leaders who finance them and provide space for their training camps and operations.
