When did progressive become synonymous with pro-Islamist? How can someone who identifies as progressive possibly support or sympathize with rightwing political Islam?
Why is it progressive to believe that mass-murdering mullahs should be allowed to develop nuclear bombs and warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles?
How can people who call themselves progressive applaud the President of the United States when he addresses and repeatedly refers to "the Muslim world," a supposed nation united by belief in "the holy Koran," as he puts it (never simply the Koran), to a degree that transcends all national, political, ethnic, and class boundaries and loyalties, thus elevating a religion--in line with Islamist ideology--to the level of a superpower?
It isn't surprising. Foreign Confidential™ has repeatedly warned that the war against the Taliban could not be won as long as (a) the cross-border sanctuaries in Pakistan remained intact, and (b) the U.S. military and its NATO allies continued to effectively stab their troops in the back by forcing them to follow ridiculous rules of engagement (CNN rules) while burdening them with nonsensical, nation building tasks.
Moreover, Obama is OK with a Taliban takeover. In his eyes, Al Qaeda alone is beyond the pale of "engagement." His administration is pro-Islamist, especially if the Islamists are of the Sunni persuasion; even the Shiite clerical fascists of Iran are regarded as alright to engage (align with). Though Obama must find the Iranian regime's rejection of his overtures perplexing as well as frustrating and irritating, the disappointment has not disabused him and his advisers of the notion that it is possible for so-called progressive Westerners to ride the Islamist tiger without being devoured by it.

Another day, another American foreign policy failure.
Moscow makes it clear that it will not allow another Libya, vowing to veto any UN resolution on the worsening Syria crisis that does not specifically rule out armed intervention in the country. Click here for the news.
Obviously, Russia didn't get Obama's bilateral relations "reset" memo, or, more likely, the Kremlin read and deleted the document or sent it straight to junk mail. Seriously, it's inexcusable that relations between the United States and Russia (Europe is practically irrelevant in this regard) are this bad more than two decades after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
And you thought the GOP debates were ugly ...
The U.S. Director of National Intelligence today warned the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee that Iran is willing to launch terrorist attacks against the United States on its own soil. Click here to read the report.

Iran's Latin American strategy speaks volumes about the ways in which weakness invites aggression and appeasement of an imperialist power--meaning, a country bent on overthrowing the status quo, or power relations among nations--makes war with that power inevitable. The longer the appeasement continues, the more likely it is that the war will be fought on the aggressor's terms. That happened during the 1930s, in the lead-up to World War II, and it is happening now in the case of nuclear-arming, Islamist Iran. The Bush administration, foolishly focused on Iraq, failed to attack Iran, an implacable enemy that aided Al Qaeda before the September 11 attacks (and, like Pakistan, has aided AQ since the attacks). The Obama administration appeased and tried to "engage" (code for collaborate and align with) Iran in a failed attempt at a Grand Bargain for regional pacification. Wishy-washy condemnations and economic sanctions have not slowed Iran's atomic advance to any significant degree; thanks to Obama (of "the Muslim world"), a clerical fascist regime that denies the Holocaust while plotting a new one is closer than ever to possessing the ultimate weapons of mass destruction--and the means of delivering them.
After taking office, Obama also tried to engage Iran's most important Western Hemisphere ally, Venezuela's virulently anti-American strongman, Hugo Chavez (click here for a handy recap of Obama's Latin America Apology Tour). Obama's efforts to win this enemy over have clearly backfired.
The new Iranian TV channel, which will also distribute its programming across the Internet, will work to condition Latin American (and U.S. Hispanic) public opinion before the coming conflict, and to shape perceptions and influence opinion during the conflict. No doubt, there are plans afoot to use video images of Iranian casualties from U.S. and Israeli air raids to justify the assaults on the U.S. homeland that Iran intends to launch from Venezuela and Mexico.
