BREAKING: Barack Obama SKIPS Funeral of Murdered US General

 
oped: I do believe it is past due time for the Pentagon to turn their proverbial backs on Barack Obama and refuse all illegal orders from a illegal President! #PERIOD

via: Conservative Tribune
Back on August 5th, Major General Harold Greene was killed in Afghanistan, the victim of an insider attack. He was the first general killed in a combat zone since the Vietnam War.
Insider attacks are on the rise in Afghanistan, as tens of thousands of Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters have infiltrated the Afghan National Security Forces.
As President Obama sends “pink slips” to our officers in a combat zone and announces to our enemy exactly when we are leaving their country, the Taliban has become emboldened to increase the size and scope of their attacks, knowing that little to nothing will be done in retaliation.


Such a rare occurrence as a high-ranking officer’s death should have warranted a great deal of attention from our Commander-in-Chief, but Obama has yet to make any public comments regarding his death.
Not only has Obama been unable to make any comment about the General’s sacrifice, he also was unable to find the time to make it to General Greene’s funeral, held on Thursday in Arlington National Cemetery.  Obama himself was conspicuously absent, but so were the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense.  The highest ranking and most senior member of Obama’s administration that found the time to pay respects to the General that was murdered by the enemy was Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno, according to BizPacReview.
The activity that Obama thought more pressing than this hero’s funeral? Golfing.

To those who asked: Yes, Obama was, in fact, on course at Vineyard Golf Club during Gen. Greene's funeral.
— Byron York (@ByronYork) August 16, 2014

This is beyond outrageous, and should be taken as a blatant slap in the face of every military member and civilian that knows and understands the tradition, honor, and respect that comes with military service.  In what can only be a gross oversight, or else a belligerent middle-finger, Obama hasn’t even ordered flags to be flown at half-staff, like he did for the deaths of singer Whitney Houston, as well as the former communist and South African President Nelson Mandela.
There are no words to describe the amount of disrespect that was on display by Obama’s deliberate absence from the General’s funeral
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you are still waiting for a statement from Obama about Major General Greene’s sacrifice for the country, and are in disbelief that he couldn’t even show up for the man’s funeral.

BREAKING: The First Shots Of World War III May Have Just Been Fired In Ukraine

by F. Peter Brown 
Ukrainian artillery destroyed the majority of a Russian invading force that passed through a rebel-held part of the Ukrainian border, according to the Ukrainian President Petro Poreshenko. The Ukrainian President  brought up the incident while talking with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Russian column of invading APCs entered Ukraine yesterday, a fact that was captured by journalists Shaun Walker and Roland Oliphant.
Oliphant tweeted again today, when he found a large force of APCs headed toward the Ukrainian border.

Despite this, NATO and Ukraine have both stopped short of calling the incursion of APCs yesterday a full-fledged invading force. Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine have been losing to the Ukrainian government forces; and there has also been a humanitarian crisis in Eastern Ukraine, which has prompted Russia to deploy troops next to the Ukrainian border. There are around 20,000 troops on the border, according to NATO.

Has the conflict moved to the point where war is now inevitable between the two countries?

Unbelievable: What Obama Just Did To Israel Could Allow Hamas To Take Control Of The Conflict

by B. Christopher Agee 

As the Israeli military continues battling terrorist-sponsored Palestinian militants in Gaza, the Jewish nation depends on missiles it has used to strike back at the relentless onslaught over the past several weeks.
According to recent reports, the U.S. government has not only failed to defend Israel to the satisfaction of many Americans, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; it is actively denying the country access to weaponry needed for its current military campaign.
Breitbart cites a Wall Street Journal report published Wednesday that indicates Israel requested a so-called military-to-military shipment of Hellfire missiles. Although sources indicate that these deliveries do not require any authorization from officials outside of the military, the Obama administration reportedly put a halt to the shipment just as the first missiles were about to be transferred.

The decision was apparently made at about the same time as a phone conversation between Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, described as “particularly combative” by U.S. officials. 


Reports indicate that each military-to-military shipment from the U.S. to Israel will now be scrutinized by this administration. This additional step will slow down the deliveries that are eventually approved and, as Breitbart pointed out, sends Israel the clear message that the U.S. is no longer the strong ally it has been in the past.
YNet also covered the development, citing Israeli officials who view the Obama administration as “weak and naïve,” preferring to seek assistance from outside of the executive branch when possible.
For their part, U.S. officials reportedly feel that Israel has twisted the position of Secretary of State John Kerry and others in the administration who have urged the nation to embrace a ceasefire with its neighboring enemy.
Israel’s U.S. Ambassador Ron Dermer, however, insists that his country has no intention of burning any bridges between the two nations and values the support America has provided.
“Israel deeply appreciates the support we have received during the recent conflict in Gaza from both the Obama administration and the Congress,” he said, “for Israel’s right to defend itself and for increased funding of Iron Dome.”
U.S. authorities indicate the administration is still willing to provide further funding for Israel’s missile defense system, known as the Iron Dome. Shipments of heavy artillery, however, will reportedly remain under review.

Pregnant Woman Latest Knockout Game Victim

oped: and who pray tell plays these games?...uuuuh oh wait #Obama 's "If I had a son he would be" Trayvon/Brown !!!! Need I really say more? 

by Philip Hodges 

Right now, the Ferguson riots are national news, and there has been no shortage of commentators offering their solutions and opinions about the underlying problems that led to the chaos there. Is it a racial problem, or is it an issue having to do with the militarization of police? I’d say both play a part.
The militarization of police has led to an “us vs. them” mentality between civilians and police. The police often act as if we’re the bad guys, and they have to arm themselves and carry themselves like bullies with badges. They try to look scary and intimidating, which makes us act more defensive against them. Arguments with police often turn to fights, which leads to people getting maimed or killed. And those incidents only fuel the flames.

There are problems on both sides that need to be dealt with. There’s certainly a problem on the black civilian side when they respond the way they do when they believe a grave injustice has been done to one of their own. All they’re doing is making the problem worse for themselves, and they’re making the police’s case against them sound reasonable.
If the black community wants to detach itself from racial stereotypes, especially those involving riots and looting, they should work on not rioting and looting even when there is an injustice.
And they can also stop playing this knockout game. Recently, in New York, a 33-year-old knocked out a pregnant woman just for the heck of it. Here’s the New York Post:

A pregnant woman was sucker-punched in the back of the head Thursday afternoon — and may be the latest victim of the creepy “knockout game,” law enforcement sources said.

Jannatul Ferdous, a 34-year-old Brooklyn resident who is six months pregnant, was walking down a sidewalk in Bedford-Stuyvesant alongside her sister when Willie Stephens, 33, allegedly sneaked up behind her and socked her in the head around 3:45 p.m. Thursday, sources said.

Ferdous was knocked unconscious during the sudden attack, but neither she nor her child was critically injured. 

Ferdous’ sister immediately called the cops and gave them a description of the attacker, who fled. Officers found Stephens three blocks away and arrested him. The alleged assailant, who does not have a criminal record, was charged with assault.

Cops believe the attack could be connected to the “knockout game,” in which criminals try to punch their victims unconscious with a single blow. The attack appeared to be random and officers believe Stephens did not know his victim, sources said.

Ferdous was taken to Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn.

I am very much in favor of having a colorblind society. But when things like this happen, it makes it almost impossible to achieve.

Perry Indicted For Demanding Drunk Official Step Down

oped: First and foremost a indictment by a grand jury has a low bar set to refer a complaint to a judge for prosecution...the foreman of the grand jury has a great influence on how the panel votes...the question now becomes is the foreman of the Grand Jury a Progressive Obama supporter? as is the DA who filed the complaint! My best guess would be yes! The sitting Judge will most likely be a Obama supporter and it would be in the best interest of the Judge to dismiss the false and provocative charges found in the indictment. 
Governor Perry had every right under the laws of Texas to veto funding for a DA who failed in her duties as a law enforcement officer of the court! end of story #Period  
Side Note: 
Rosemary Lehmberg is a embarrassment to Travis County and the great state of Texas...when did it become do as I say not as I do?...Oh wait 2008 when #Obama was elected and appointed Eric Holder as USAG!

Liberals at their finest here. Perry is doing the right thing and liberals try to embarrass him.

A grand jury indicted Governor Rick Perry Friday for his attempts to remove Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg from office after she was arrested for driving while intoxicated last year in a case that made national headlines.
In April 2013, Lehmberg was arrested after a witness called 911, describing her as driving erratically, swerving back and forth into the bike lane, and into oncoming traffic. Officers at the scene reportedly found an open bottle of vodka in her car, and a blood sample obtained later that evening purportedly showed a blood alcohol level of 0.239—almost three times the legal limit—even that many hours later.

Not only did her arrest attracted headlines, but her belligerent behavior after she was brought to the police station—all captured on video tape—drew attention, as well. Lehmberg is seen blaming the police for destroying her political career, yelling and insulting them; demanding that they call Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton; sticking out her tongue; making faces; kicking at the door to her cell; and eventually getting restrained with leg irons, being strapped to a chair and wearing what is commonly referred to as a “spit mask,” which is usually used when a detainee is spitting or biting. To be fair, the video does not expressly show that happening, and Lehmberg’s defense attorney later claimed that the mask was used to “protect her identity.”

Marine who urinated on corpses in Afghanistan dies

Let's celebrate this Marine equal to celebrating Robin Williams career! Semper Fi Marine from a Army Cav dude! Oh and I think the Marine Corps should re-instate his rank/pension to Sgt for the widows sake!

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A decorated retired Marine whose career as a sniper was derailed by a video that showed him urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters has died, his attorney said Friday.

Cpl. Robert Richards, 28, was found dead Wednesday by his wife at their Jacksonville home, Attorney Guy Womack said. Neither foul play nor suicide is suspected.

The death was most likely from Richards changing medications he took because of injuries he suffered in a roadside bomb during one of his three tours in Afghanistan, Womack said. 

Richards was demoted from sergeant after a video showed four Camp Lejeune Marines — in full body armor — urinating on three Afghans in 2011. One Marine looks down at the bodies and jokes, "Have a good day, buddy."

The video was posted on YouTube in early 2012. It was condemned internationally and caused outrage in the Middle East.

It was "a temporary lapse of discipline, and it should in no way define the service and honor of the snipers," Womack said.

Richards' sniper unit killed 12 Taliban fighters, some of whom the Marines knew were part of a cell making roadside bombs and training others, Womack said. About a month earlier, the Taliban cell had planted a bomb that blew the legs off a Marine. 

One of the Marines in the video testified that their operation was designed to pursue bomb-making experts believed responsible for killing a corporal whose leg was later found hanging from a tree. The Marines were reacting to those events when they urinated on the bodies, Womack said.

"He never said it was OK," Womack said. "Marines shouldn't do that. At the same time, it really wasn't the crime of the century. "

Richards almost died when a roadside bomb exploded near him during his second tour, Womack said. Shrapnel went through his throat and an emergency tracheotomy on the battlefield saved his life, the attorney said. He also almost lost a foot and suffered back injuries. He was awarded a Purple Heart.

Richards was supposed to get 18 months off from active duty, but he returned early when a platoon commander asked him to join a new sniper unit that had no combat veteran snipers. 

"He called it a personal obligation and said he would feel guilty if any of them were to die from their inexperience," Womack said.

Richards will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

Meet the cops who gave their lives

By: Michelle Malkin 


If you’ve been watching cable news, reading Hollywood celebrities’ tweets and listening to race-hustling opportunists, you might think that every police officer in America has a finger on the trigger, hunting for any excuse to gun down defenseless youths.
This hysterical nonsense must be stopped.
The Cirque du Cop-Bashing, with Al Sharpton as ringmaster, is working overtime to exploit the deadly incident in Ferguson, Mo. That means stoking anti-law enforcement fires at all costs.
Are there bad cops? Yes. Does the police state go overboard sometimes? Yes. Do the demagogues decrying systemic racism and braying about “assassinations” know what happened when teenager Mike Brown was tragically shot and killed last week? No.
Here’s a reality check. While narcissistic liberal journalists and college kids are all posting “Hands Up” selfies in hipster solidarity with Ferguson protesters, it’s law enforcement officers who risk their lives in “war zones” every day across the country.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) reports that a total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. These include local and state police officers, federal officers, correctional officers and military law enforcement officers. 


Fact: Last year, 100 law enforcement officers were killed. On average, over the past decade, there have been 58,261 assaults against law enforcement each year, resulting in 15,658 injuries.
Fact: New York City has lost more officers in the line of duty than any other department, with 697 deaths. Texas has lost 1,675 officers, more than any other state.
Just this week, NLEOMF released preliminary fatality statistics from August 2013 to August 2014. Total fatalities are up 14 percent, from 63 last year to 72 this year. “Five officers were killed in ambushes, which continue to be a major threat to law enforcement safety,” the group notes.
Among the men in uniform who gave their lives this summer:
–Police Officer Scott Patrick of the Mendota Heights Police Department in Minnesota. He was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop on July 30. Patrick leaves behind a wife and two teenage daughters. 


–Police Officer Jeffrey Westerfield of the Gary Police Department in Indiana. Westerfield was shot in the head and killed in a July 6ambush while sitting in his police vehicle after responding to a 911 call. The suspect had been previously arrested for domestic violence and for kicking another officer. Westerfield, a 19-year police department veteran as well as an Army veteran, leaves behind a wife and four daughters.
–Officer Perry Renn of the Indianapolis Police Department. He was shot and killed while responding to reports of gunfire on July 5. After 20 years on the job, Renn chose to serve in one of the city’s most dangerous areas, even though his seniority would have allowed him to take a less dangerous role. “He chose to work in patrol to make a difference in the field,” Police Chief Rick Hite said at Renn’s funeral. “Every day, Perry got out of his police car.” Renn is survived by his wife.
–Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares, Jr. of the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana. The 15-year law enforcement veteran was shot and killed on June 23 while investigating two suspicious suspects. Bares had been mowing his lawn while off-duty when he witnessed a suspicious car crash. When he went to investigate, he was gunned down. The assailants stole his truck as he lay dying. “He’s the type of person that would give his shirt off his back to anybody,” a cousin said in tribute. “Anyone that knows Allen will tell you that he was that kind of person.” Bares leaves behind a wife and two children. 


–Police Officer Melvin Santiago of the Jersey City Police Department in New Jersey. Santiago, a proud rookie cop who loved his job, was ambushed on July 13 by a homicidal armed robber. Santiago was 23 years old. After Santiago’s killer was shot dead by police, the violent Bloods street gang vowed to “kill a Jersey City cop and not stop until the National Guard is called out.”
Al Sharpton, concocter of hate-crimes hoaxes and inciter of violent riots against police, had no comment.

Here we go again Obama: If I had a son he would be Michael Brown

[Michael Brown 6'4" 290 lbs]

Barack Obama and Eric Holder are right back in the middle of another controversy...they jumped right in there defending what they called a gentle giant a innocent young man on his way to college...gunned down by a police officer. [Why is it Barack Obama and Eric Holder always inject themselves into local shootings where they see a racial issue?...you be the judge]

Well now as the truth starts coming out the not so innocent young man was involved in a strong arm robbery of a convenience store of which Officer Darren Wilson responded to...and was assaulted by the suspect resisting arrest...a shooting occurred of which the investigation will show whether or not it was justified self defense.

The main witness to the shooting was Michael Brown's accomplice Mr.Johnson who has ranted and raved to any news agency who would listen, stating his friend Michael was gunned down with his hands up. [credibility issue here]
                                   [Dorian Johnson...Michael Brown's accomplice]


Was the shooting justified or not...I don't know  I was not there...however it is always prudent to wait for the investigation to be completed before making accusations against the police officer.
However people are stating Michael was unarmed so it wasn't justified...not true Michael is 6'4" 290 lbs it depends on how big the police officer is and if Michael turned and made another move for the officer...and the police officer feared for his life by losing his weapon! We will have to wait until the investigation is completed to see the results.

Your Vote Doesn't Count as Hollywood Pours Money into Democrat Campaigns

[ALISON-LUNDERGAN-GRIMES- Another Nancy Pelosi]
by Gary DeMar 

Two big stories hit the internet today. The first one is how corporations, special interest groups and, well connected individuals are manipulating the political scene.
The following study from professors from Princeton and Northwestern Universities on “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens” is getting some attention. It asks, “Who governs? Who really rules? To what extent is the broad body of U.S. citizens sovereign, semi-sovereign, or largely powerless?”

“The statistical research looked at public attitudes on nearly 1,800 policy issues and determined that government almost always ignores the opinions of average citizens and adopts the policy preferences of monied business interests when shaping the contours of U.S. laws.”

“The study's findings align with recent trends, where corporate elites have aggressively pursued pro-amnesty policies despite the fact that, according to the most recent Reuters poll, 70% of Americans believe illegal immigrants ‘threaten traditional U.S. beliefs and customs,’ and 63% believe ‘immigrants place a burden on the economy.’” 

The same day the above article appeared about the study, another article, unrelated to the first one, proves the point. While the media have been focused on the suicide of liberal comedic icon Robin Williams, news is coming out on how the Hollywood elite are pumping money into Liberal Democrat campaigns. Who are they?

“Hollywood stars are opening their wallets this election season to help finance Democrats’ campaigns nationwide in hopes of keeping a party majority in the Senate, with Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes receiving the lion's share of the money. 

“Actors Ben Affleck, Nicolas Cage, Danny DeVito, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Garner, Tom Hanks, Jerry Seinfeld, Mike Myers, Jack Black, and Jon Hamm. In addition, producer J.J. Abrams, along with directors James Cameron and Steven Spielberg also gave the maximum $5,200 donations.
“But those aren't Grimes’ only donors. Woody Allen, Leonard Nimoy, Ted Danson, America Ferrera, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, and ‘West Wing’ writer Aaron Sorkin have also opened their wallets for her campaign. 

“Barbra Streisand, once again, is one of the key Hollywood donors this election season. She's given $10,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $2,600 to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.”

This short film clip will explain it all:

Hollywood is one of the most guilt-ridden industries in the country. These people make tens of millions of dollars while tens of millions of average schlubs eke out a marginal living. So instead of using their wealth to create jobs, they instead elect politicians who will use the force of law to compel us to be charitable. That way these Hollywood types can sleep at night believing that liberalism absolves them of voting for liberty over compulsion.

Thomas Jefferson & the Mussulmen (Muslim)

By Paul Dowling 

“O prophet of God, I will beat out the teeth, pull out the eyes, rip open the bellies and cut off the legs of all who shall dare to oppose thee.” 
—Ali, Assistant to the Prophet Mohammad
Jefferson Buys a Koran
In 1765, While Thomas Jefferson was studying law at the College of William and Mary, he purchased George Sale’s rendering into English of the Koran from the original Arabic.  At the time Jefferson first read the Koran, it was due to curiosity sparked by references to Islamic law in his legal studies.

Islam as the Outer Limit for Religious Tolerance
Congressman Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, said he chose to use Jefferson’s Koran with which to be sworn into office because it was proof that “a visionary like Jefferson” believed wisdom could come from many sources. But it wasn’t wisdom that Jefferson desired from the Koran.  He wanted to understand the alien mindset it represented.  Jefferson actually imagined a future in which “Mussulmen”—or “Mahomedans”—might live in America.  What might such Americans be like?
Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom (the original basis for the First Amendment), which was passed in 1779, disestablishing the Church of England and providing the basis for total religious freedom.  In the course of writing the statute, some wanted reference made to “Jesus,” but “Almighty God” was chosen as less offensive and was met with overwhelming approval.  Jefferson, always careful in his public statements on religion, said he took the more neutral choice, since he believed Americans preferred the law to “comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahomedan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination.”

What Jefferson left unsaid was this: that by not choosing a religion-specific name for the deity, the disestablishment of the state religion became more solid.  Jefferson, always hyper-aware of future political ramifications, knew that a state religion, if one existed, could always be changed—even to Islam!  Jefferson’s concerns about Islam, and his tendency toward the imagining of extreme possibilities, put him solidly in the corner of those who would prevent the state establishment of any religion whatsoever. 

Islam as a Practical Problem
Some years later, Jefferson needed to fathom Muslims as adversaries.  The Barbary States of North Africa were Muslim states that, for centuries, had engaged in piracy throughout the Mediterranean Sea.  If a non-Muslim country did not pay tribute, they killed and enslaved their citizens, going so far as to castrate boys to make eunuchs for guarding harems and to give little girls to Muslim men for use as wives or concubines.
In March 1785, when Jefferson was Ambassador to France and John Adams was Ambassador to Great Britain, the two met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Ambassador to Britain from Tripoli.  The Barbary Pirates had captured American merchant ships and had imprisoned their passengers and crew.  Not yet having a strong navy, the Congress wanted to negotiate a fair tribute as a way to appease the pirates.
Jefferson and Adams were eager to know how the Barbary States could claim the right of piracy against peaceful American merchant vessels.   Jefferson wrote that, in the ambassador’s view, according to the Koran, “all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.” 

Since the nascent United States of America had forfeited the right of British protection of their merchant fleet, and America’s own navy was not yet strong enough to take on a naval war against these pirates, the young country had little choice but to submit to Islamic extortion, at least for the time being.  So treaties were signed with the Barbary States. 

Prelude to War
By 1800, the annual payments to piratic Muslim states were almost one million dollars a year, one fifth of the federal budget.  Jefferson knew that lying to infidels and breaking treaties with them is allowed under Sharia Law any time doing so would present an advantage to the military advancement of Islam.
All of these facts must have been in the mind of Jefferson as he campaigned against John Adams for the presidency.  Once he assumed office, President Jefferson picked up his copy of the Koran.   A thorough reading helped him to imagine the mentality of his enemy from a strategic perspective.

Jefferson’s Opening Salvo in the War on Terror
Just ahead of Jefferson’s 1801 inauguration, the Pasha of Tripoli released the crew members of two American ships but demanded an increase in tribute.  Refusal would mean a war declaration against America.
Jefferson ordered a naval force of four warships to sail for the Mediterranean, thus starting the First Barbary War, which would last until 1805.  Ultimately, it was a ground campaign that sealed the fate of the Barbary States, with US Marines making use of guerilla tactics and inciting insurgency against the pasha.  To keep power, the pasha agreed to a treaty to end the conflict.  It became the first foreign war the US fought and won, dispatching many a Muslim pirate to his paradise in the process.

The Allure of Paradise
George Sale, in the commentaries of his translation of the Koran, wrote the following about Muslim Paradise: “The very meanest in Paradise will have eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives of the girls of Paradise, besides the wives he had in this world. . . .”  So Jefferson was well aware of the sexual allure of death to the Mussulman, willing to die for the carnal rewards Islam offered in its afterlife.
Jefferson understood the threat of radical Islam.  And the information he learned is still good for today’s purposes.  The Koran absolutely has not changed.

 

Allen West: ‘Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist’

By Matthew Burke 

Former congressman, Lt. Col. Allen West proclaimed on Wednesday that there is only one true explanation that Obama is “purposely enabling the Islamist cause.”
West, a favorite among many in the pro-freedom, pro-Constitution Tea Party movement, listed six instances where the Obama regime has been “working counter to the security of the United States of America”:

1. The unilateral release of five senior Taliban back to the enemy while the enemy is still fighting us.

2. Providing weapons of support to the Muslim Brotherhood-led Egyptian government — F-16s and M1A1 Abrams tanks — but not to the Egyptian government after the Islamist group has been removed.
3. Negotiations with Qatar and Turkey, two Islamist-supporting countries.
4. Negotiations with Hamas, a terrorist group.
5. Returning sanction money, to the tune of billions of dollars, back to the theocratic regime led by Iran’s ayatollahs and allowing them to march on towards nuclear capability.

6. Obama’s evident support of Islamists in Libya.

Along with the above, West cited the recent report that Obama has lifted longtime restrictions against Libyans attending flight schools and receiving nuclear science training in the U.S, only two years after the terrorism that took place in Benghazi, Libya.
There is only one logical reason for the Democrat president to make these anti-American decisions, West concluded Wednesday on his website, that there is no other reason why Obama would prop-up America’s enemies:
Sorry, but I can only explain this one way: Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist in his foreign policy perspectives and supports their cause. You can go back and listen to his 2009 speech in Cairo, where Muslim Brotherhood associates were seated front and center.

All the circumstantial and anecdotal evidence points to that conclusion. The pivot away from the Middle East seems to be nothing more than an opportunity to enable Islamists and their goals. Anyone supporting this Libyan ban being lifted is indeed an enemy of this state.

In June, the former congressman from Florida called for Obama’s impeachment, following Obama’s negotiation with terrorists, releasing military deserter Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for the U.S. release of five notorious Muslim terrorists from GITMO.

Barack Obama’s longtime pastor for over two decades, Jeremiah Wright, told author Ed Klein two years ago that “Barack Obama was steeped in Islam” and that he “knew very little about Christianity.”

When I asked the Reverend Wright about this whole question of Islam and Christianity. He said, well, you know, Barack Obama was steeped in Islam. He knew a lot about Islam from his childhood. But he knew very little about Christianity. And I made it easy for him to feel not guilty about learning about Christianity without turning his back on his Islamic friends.”

French Foreign Minister Blasts Obama For Golfing While Iraq Burns

oped: Kudos to France...they helped us during the American Revolution...helped our downed pilots during WWII...then they went all limp wristed after their failure in VietNam 1959...but hey they are back and deserve a Kudos...cajones' they found and I may add thanks to Bridget Bardo and her persistence on her war against the perverted religion of Islam! Viva la France or is that Viva le France...hey I don't speak French but ya get my drift yes? :) 

From Daily Mail:
The French Minister Laurent Fabius has a message about Iraq for Mr. Obama: Get back to the White House and do something.
“I know it is a holiday period in our Western countries,” Fabius told a radio interviewer Tuesday in France, “but when people are dying, you must come back from vacation.”

Obama is on a family and golfing vacation in Martha’s Vineyard but says he will come back to Washington this weekend before returning for more golf on Tuesday.
So far, Obama’s approach has consisted of airlifting humanitarian supplies to victim groups, protecting aid drops with airstrikes, and begging for help from allies.
Meanwhile, Britain, France, Italy, and other European nations have all backed the humanitarian assistance with personnel and material, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The White House raised eyebrows yesterday, however, when it was announced that Obama was about to deploy troops to Mount Sinjar–where tens of thousands of persecuted religious Yadzis are hiding.
The rescue mission, according to deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, “is separate than saying U.S. forces are going to be redeployed in Iraq in a combat role to take the fight to ISIS.”
Despite the negotiations, the possible collapse of Iraq, and Hamas’ continued rocket attacks on Israel, Obama remains on vacation.
He hasn’t logged as many vacations as President George W. Bush did, but the timing of this one couldn’t be worse.

“Even presidents need down time, and Obama can handle his commander-in-chief duties wherever he is,” Washington Post writer Dana Milbank wrote on Monday.
“But his decision to proceed with his getaway just 36 hours after announcing the military action in Iraq risks fueling the impression that he is detached as the world burns.”

The State of the Caliphate

oped: Indeed deja vu in comparison with the VietNam war...we were winning the war in Viet Nam until politics got involved and made all the lost blood and treasure a complete waste...when will our idiotic elected officials learn the old saying "In for a Penny in for a Pound"...if you engage in a war you must take it to the final outcome ,complete victory...the last time we saw that was WWII... Korea was never finished, Viet Nam lost thanks to idiot politicians and now we have the Middle East fiasco. All I can say is Washington, DC needs to put on their proverbial 'Big Boy' pants ...let go of false pride and give our military the authority/ green light to do what has to be done to stop the spread of this 7th Century evil,barbaric, cold blooded rapist/killer psychopathic  army of destruction... nothing short will do! #PERIOD and yes I am one pissed off veteran!

The Washington Post’s Adam Taylor claimed on Wednesday that the Islamic State’s “extremist brand is winning” in Iraq — but how could such a thing happen in what was once the most secular Muslim country in the Middle East?
A Breaking Defense report shows that IS/Caliphate forces are adapting to and adjusting to American airstrikes in much the same way that the North Vietnamese once did:

ISIS’s adaptability and resilience are disturbing traits of what military analysts consider an emerging breed of “hybrid” adversary. The modern template for this theory was the Hezbollah militia in 2006, when surprisingly determined, well-trained, and well-armed irregulars bloodied the vaunted Israelis in southern Lebanon. But the reality behind the “hybrid” theory goes back at least to the Vietnamese Communists, who skillfully blended Viet Cong and regular North Vietnamese Army forces, guerrilla tactics and pitched battle: They massed their forces to invade South Vietnam, dispersed into the jungle after the US intervened, then took Saigon with tank columns once the US was gone. Their inspiration, in turn, was the Chinese Communists led by Mao Zedong, who laid out an explicit progression from political subversion to guerrilla warfare to conventional capture of territory. 

We forced the NVA out of South Vietnam by wielding our heavy bomber force in a brutal fashion which was only barely politically feasible for Richard Nixon, and which Barack Obama would probably never contemplate. Nixon ordered Operation Linebacker II in 1972, and more than 200 B-52s (along with about 2,000 smaller aircraft) pounded North Vietnam with the kind of massive and sustained bombardment which only large numbers of heavy bombers can deliver. American auto buffs like to say “there’s no replacement for displacement,” and sometimes in war there’s no replacement for filling the sky with bombers. Today we have fewer than 80 B-52s still operational, assuming Obama could muster the political will for such a campaign.
During the surge in Iraq, the US Army and Marines wrote (or re-wrote) the book on how to pry irregular forces out of urban areas. Five years before 9/11, former Army intelligence officer and author Ralph Peters warned:

The future of warfare lies in the streets, sewers, high-rise buildings, industrial parks, and the sprawl of houses, shacks, and shelters that form the broken cities of our world. We will fight elsewhere, but not so often, rarely as reluctantly, and never so brutally. Our recent military history is punctuated with city names–Tuzla, Mogadishu, Los Angeles, Beirut, Panama City, Hue, Saigon, Santo Domingo–but these encounters have been but a prologue, with the real drama still to come.

It came hard indeed in 2007, when President George W. Bush mustered the political will for the Iraq surge. Such a thing is politically impossible for Obama today, even if he were so inclined. While the Pentagon glumly follows orders with useless pinprick air attacks and a couple hundred advisors, the Caliphate is working to complete its encirclement of Baghdad. Those “junior varsity” Caliphate forces have been in control of Fallujah since January, a city 95 Marines lost their lives (and another 560 were wounded) taking from Islamist forces in 2004. Ten years later, and we’re right back where we started.

Turkey is still a de jure NATO ally, but CNBC reported on Wednesday that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Islamic government may be supporting IS/Caliphate forces on the ground in Iraq. Meanwhile, Iran continues to provide political and military support to Iraq’s (disputed) new government, while dismissing American efforts there:
Referring to the United States’ recent militarily intervention in Iraq, [Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian] noted that the limited strikes against the ISIL terrorists’ positions in northern Iraq show that “the White House has a selective and propagandist approach” in the fight against terrorism.

It has always been in Saudi Arabia’s vital national interest to prevent Iran from dominating Iraq (Riyadh helped finance Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq War), and today is no different. David Gardner reported last week that the kingdom is exporting “pipelines of jihadi volunteers, even as it struggles to insulate itself from the blowback.”
Iraq, a mostly peaceful place on January 20, 2009, is now a cauldron drawing in forces from Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States and Europe. The danger here isn’t so much a Caliphate-dominated Iraq — we spent nearly 15 years containing a hostile Iraq in between Gulf wars. The real danger is what looks increasingly like a regional war in the heart of the Middle East, a war where it’s Sunni vs Shi’ite, Turk vs Arab, Persian vs Turk, Muslim vs Christian, Ba’athist vs Islamist, East vs West, and NATO vs itself.
For now, Islamic State forces thrive in the chaos, but out of it a strong and centralized Caliphate may yet emerge.

Islamic State militants mass near town north of Baghdad

oped: Would this not be a great time for Obama to give the green light and  authorize the Pentagon to organize a operation to strike the IS nest using whatever means the Pentagon deems necessary to eliminate the barbaric scourge? The nest has gathered~ time to strike and strike hard! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Islamic State militants are massing near the Iraqi town of Qara Tappa, 122 km (73 miles) north of Baghdad, security sources and a local official said, in an apparent bid to broaden their front with Kurdish peshmerga fighters.

The Sunni militants have made a dramatic push through the north to a position near Arbil, capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region.

The movement around Qara Tappa suggests they are getting more confident and seeking to grab more territory closer to the capital after stalling in that region. 

"The Islamic State is massing its militants near Qara Tappa," said one of the security sources. "It seems they are going to broaden their front with the Kurdish fighters."

Islamic State has also been using tunnels built by Saddam Hussein in the 1990s to secretly move fighters, weapons and supplies from strongholds in western Iraq to towns just south of Baghdad. 

The group, made up of Iraqis, other Arabs and foreign fighters has threatened to march on Baghdad, part of its ambition to redraw the map of the Middle East and impose its radical version of Islam.

How Israel got American weapons behind Obama's back

By Zack Beauchamp   

An amazing Wall Street Journal story today reveals just how bad US-Israel relations have gotten during the Gaza crisis: Israel is going behind President Obama's back, to the Pentagon, to get restocked with American weapons. 

How can this happen? When Congress passes bills funding foreign military aid, it doesn't always itemize every item that every country gets. Look at the 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act, for instance, and you'll find that it says "not less than $3,100,000,000 shall be available for grants only for Israel" with only a little more qualification. It's up to the president and the Pentagon to figure out what the Israelis should have and give it to them. 

 

Netanyahu commanded that Obama was "not to ever second-guess me again" about the Gaza war

Normally, this is pretty routine — Israel and the US cooperate very closely on defense. But according to Journal reporter Adam Entous, the US and Israel have been at each other's throats during the Gaza. The Obama administration were concerned that Israel's ground incursion into Gaza beginning on July 17th was using disproportionate force — for example, using hard-to-target artillery fire in heavily populated areas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thought Americans had no business micromanaging how he defended his country from Hamas rocket fire.

So instead of asking Obama for more weapons, Israel went straight to the Pentagon offices on July 20th. The Pentagon went through their standard process, and afterwards approved Israeli requests for mortar and tank shells. Then, on July 30th, Israeli artillery shells hit a UN shelter for displaced Palestinians. They were reportedly US-made. 

"We were blindsided," one U.S. diplomat told Entous. The State Department and the White House had just discovered the Pentagon's arms transfers.

How Israel got American weapons behind Obama's back

After that, US-Israeli relations quietly collapsed. The next three paragraphs from the Journal's story are astonishing — particularly the part where Netanyahu commanded that Obama was "not to ever second-guess me again" about the Gaza war: 

The last straw for many U.S. diplomats came on Aug. 2 when they say Israeli officials leaked to the media that Mr. Netanyahu had told the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, that the Obama administration was "not to ever second-guess me again" about how to deal with Hamas.

The White House and State Department have sought to regain greater control over U.S.-Israeli policy. They decided to require White House and State Department approval for even routine munitions requests by Israel, officials say.

Instead of being handled as a military-to-military matter, each case is now subject to review-slowing the approval process and signaling to Israel that military assistance once taken for granted is now under closer scrutiny. 

It's a striking story for any number of reasons. US-Israel relations periodically get rocky, but defense cooperation usually remains stable. If Obama is imposing a higher standard for arms transfers, and generally slowing military cooperation, that's a pretty significant development.

Second, and perhaps more fundamentally, Entous' reporting illustrates why the US is so bad at pressuring Israel. The United States and Israel are bound so tightly together in so many ways that Israel has all sorts of avenues to get around the limited pressure that administrations might want to bring to bear. US officials admitted to Entous that their influence over Israel has been "weakened" during the Gaza war. That's because Netanyahu "has used his sway in Washington, from the Pentagon and Congress to lobby groups, to defuse US diplomatic pressure on his government over the past month." 

The American public and Congress both overwhelmingly support Israel and sympathize with it over its enemies during conflicts. That helps maintain a strong US-Israel relationship, even when the leaders of both countries can't stand each other. It also seriously ties America's hands when the two countries disagree.

Muslims Declare This Message: “Anyone Who Kills A Christian Will Go Straight To Heaven”

ISIS Muslims are saying now that if you kill a Christian you will gain salvation. On this belief, Archbishop Athanasius Toma Dawod of the Syriac Orthodox church explained: 

They are killing our people in the name of Allah and telling people that anyone who kills a Christian will go straight to heaven: that is their message. They have burned churches; they have burned very old books. They have damaged our crosses and statues of the Virgin Mary. They are occupying our churches and converting them into mosques.

Are we not reminded by the words of Christ?

They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. (John 16:2) 

Marcel Francois Lefebvre, in 1989, actually warned the West on this very Islamic belief, and how it was going to come to the West on account of religious tolerance and diversity:
