OBAMA SQUEEZING BAHRAIN TO SURRENDER
ANOTHER MIDEAST ALLYMore About Egypt's Khomeini

The Obama administration's meetings with the clerical fascist Muslim Brotherhood before and during the Egyptian upheaval recall President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1953 White House encounter with a visiting delegation of foreign fundamentalist Muslim leaders that included the MB's international organizer, Said Ramadan. Leading up to the Eisenhower-Ramadan meeting, U.S. diplomats in Cairo met regularly during the late 1940s. with Ramadan's father-in-law, the MB's pro-Nazi founder, Hasan al-Banna.
Historical context. Throughout the Cold War, Washington saw the Saudi-financed Muslim Brotherhood a bulwark against Soviet influence and the potential spread of Communism in the Middle East and regional movements that were viewed by the United States as dangerously sympathetic to Moscow--Arab nationalism and Arab socialism.
Today, following the Bush administration's failure to defeat radical Islam, the Obama administration aims to actually align with the movement's "moderate" factions.
Moderate Islamism! Imagine, if you can, that it's 1951, and an emotionally exhausted, economically drained U.S. is still at war with Nazi Germany, having failed to deliver mass death to the monstrous enemy in an undeclared, deliberately misnamed "War Against Blitzkrieg"--so as not to offend German-American sensibilities. Imagine, too, that the U.S. has bled itself dry by attacking and invading ... the Soviet Union ... after Pearl Harbor, in order to get rid of Stalin and install a Russian democracy, the success of which, Americans were assured, would inspire freedom-loving people across Europe, and help to bring democratic transformations of totalitarian regimes everywhere. But the Russian invasion in this alternative hisotry proved to be a monumental strategic blunder; and a broken-up, post-Stalin USSR, crawling with all kinds of unchained fascists and fascist sympathizers, was fast becoming a German satellite. Against this depressing background, a newly elected U.S. president, himself the son of a German immigrant father, is trying, with the support of America's business and academic elites--and a pro-appeasement, anti-Semitic press--to negotiate with supposedly moderate Nazis who are said to be tired of Hitler....
Enough said. The picture is pretty clear. And it isn't pretty. Nearly nine-and-a-half years after 9/11, the Obama administration is bent on finding and engaging (code for appeasing and aligning with) a whole host of Islamist "moderates," including wings of the assssination-prone MB and its suicide bomb-loving Palestinian affiliate, Hamas; Hitlerian Hezbollah; the medieval Taliban; and, of course, the nuclear-arming Iranian mullahocracy. The U.S. goal with regard to Iran isn't really regime replacement; rather, it is regime remodeling--i.e. to install a new and improved "Turkish model" of so-called Islamist democracy.
The Obama administration continues to pressure an American ally, as reported here.
Bahrain's monarchy has outlived its usefulness, according to the administration. The king may be able to survive by agreeing to become a figurehead. More likely, he will have to surrender and go into exile.
TARGETED FOR TOPPLING
What ordinary Americans don't understand: the Obama administration wants Bahrain's Shiite majority to take over the country. The present, pro-Western regime is on the wrong side of history, according to the Islamist-appeasing administration. Bahrain's leader will be lucky to get out of the Gulf alive.

An Islamonazi monster returns after a long exile--and the Islamist-appeasing, liberal media are ecstatic. Click herefor the nauseating NY Times piece. Scroll down to screen a video of Al-Qaradawi praising Hitler, below that for videos of the Khomeini-like lunatic predicting the Islamic conquest of Europe and warning of the dangers of female masturbation, and below that gem for an older video of another clerical fascist delivering a sermon of pure hate--in an Iraqi mosque.
At the rate things are going, by 9/11/2011--the 10th anniversary of the radical Muslim attacks on America--Islamists will, with Washington's tacit or overt backing, either control or be well on the way to taking control of the following lands (in alphabetical order): Afghanistan; Algeria; Bahrain; Egypt; Gaza-West Bank; Iran; Iraq; Lebanon; Libya; Morocco; Pakistan; Sudan; Tunisia; Turkey; and Yemen. Syria's secular regime will most likely still be in power; but the fantasy of luring it from Iran's fold will be just that--a fantasy. Damascus knows it must stay solidly aligned with Tehran's turbaned tyranny--and Hitlerian Hezbollah--in order to survive the Islamist tidal wave. Assuming it's not taken over by Al Qaeda, Saudi Arabia, a dysfunctional family business masquerading as a country, will probably step up its covert support for the global jihad in order to buy time and keep the oil revenues flowing without interruption.
As for Central Asia, including western China, who knows what will happen? Anything is possible.
