Barry Rubin on Obama's Pro-Islamist Strategy
Opinion: Obama Believes He Can Tame Islamists
Response: Rubin really gives Obama too much credit. The pro-Islamist policy has very little, if anything, to do with democracy promotion. It is merely a cover for an imperialist foreign policy--according to Hans Morgenthau's political realist definition of the term, which is a policy that seeks to overthrow the status quo, radically the power relationships among nations. More specifically, the administration aims to use Islamism to control the energy resources of Eurasia, contain resurgent Russia, and contain and crack apart rising China.
A world war could result from this madness, which began under George W. Bush and can actually be traced all the way back, through the Reagan and catastrophic Carter administrations, and the Afghan-Soviet War and overthrow of Iran's Shah, respectively, to Eisenhower's embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood and his administration's covert support for the Muslim Brotherhood against Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
In a sense, Brzezinski beat Kissinger. The dangerous theories of Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, architect of the the secret war in Afghanistan on the side of the jihadists that Carter started and Reagan escalated and Carter's disastrous attempt to jump aboard the Islamist bandwagon in Iran, serve as Obama's guiding influence. Kissinger, the old realist who still believes in balance of power and spheres of influence, is regarded by the powers that be as brilliant ... but irrelevant.

Libyan Rebels Fight Each Other in Hospital
Left-Islamist Axis Recalls Communist Party Perfidy
During the CPUSA's aggressive opposition to fascism in the Popular Front period, membership in the CPUSA rose to about 75,000. However, the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact allying the Soviet Union with Germany, in 1939, resulted in a major crisis, as thousands of Jewish and other anti-fascist members left in disgust.The CPUSA abruptly turned away from militant anti-fascism to focus its public activities on advocating "peace," opposing U.S. military preparations, and condemning those opposed to Hitler as warmongers. The CPUSA accused Winston Churchill and Roosevelt of provoking aggression against Germany and denounced the Polish government as fascist after the Germans and Soviets joined in invading Poland.Thousands more members now found that their consciences could no longer allow them to remain in the party.

New Libya: Rape, Robbery, Torture, Mass Murder
What Obama (of "the Muslim World") and NATO have wrought in Libya--click here, here, and here for a sampling of the stories seeping out of the new hell on earth. Horribly graphic, gruesome cell phone videos of men, women--and children--being raped and tortured to death are also emerging.
Where's the outrage?
How can Obama and his European allies and their advisors and stooges and the fawning media members who supported the insane Libyan adventure--an intervention on the side of Islamist-led, Al Qaeda-connected rebels supposedly carried out for "humanitarian" purposes--possibly sleep at night, knowing the horrors they have unleashed in a country that posed no threat to the West and had cooperated closely in combatting the Islamist menace? Have they no shame?

Case for Preemptive Strike on Iran is Clear ...
And So-Called World Community Wants
Jewish State to Risk Second Holocaust
Truth be told, the case for a preemptive nuclear strike on Islamonazi-ruled Iran is clear--meaning, use of tactical nuclear weapons to wipe out all known and suspected Iranian nuclear sites and ballistic missile bases, biological and chemical warfare installations, and the SS-like Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its ultra-elite, Quds Force terrorist arm.
Tragically, decades of appeasing and attempting to align with the monsters running Iran--who took power with the support of the craven Carter administration--have made a final conflict with Iran inevitable. The Israeli government knows the score; but the United States, in the grip of an impossibly pro-Islamist administration, is still betting on diplomacy and sanctions to stop the mullahocracy's mad march to atomic armageddon.
Why should Israel draw on its presumed nuclear arsenal to end the Iranian nuclear threat and prevent a second Holocaust? The answer is simple: Israel, in contrast with Washington, does not have the conventional military might to destroy Iran's nuclear and missile sites in a surprise assault, and thus prevent Iran--and its Lebanese proxy, Hitlerian Hezbollah, and secular, Syrian ally, the embattled, blood-soaked Assad regime--from making good on their repeated threats to "burn Tel Aviv." It would be both illogical and immoral, given that any government's primary responsibility is to protect its citizenry against enemy attacks, for Israel to launch an aerial raid on Iran that would leave intact its capacity to retaliate in ways that not too many years ago would have been unthinkable--namely, the leveling of Israeli population centers through massive missile and rocket attacks, including, most likely, missiles topped with Syrian chemical warheads and, also, possibly, projectiles carrying biological arms, as alluded to above.
Israel is thought to have as many as 400 nuclear missiles and the capability of delivering them by intercontinental and long-range ballistic missiles, submarines, and aircraft. Absent a dramatic turnaround by the Islamist-appeasing and functionally anti-Israel Obama administration, the time may be coming for Israel to put some of those weapons to use against an implacable, apocalyptic enemy (just as the U.S. should have obliterated the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan within days of 9/11--another story).
