Why is Obama Ignoring the Beheading, Rape, Murder, and Oppression of Syria’s Christians & Alawites?

September 11, 2013 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Sept. 10, President Obama delivered his speech to the nation on his thoughts on the Syria problem. His speech was contradictory, confused, and, well here is a “shorter Obama” version of what he said: “We’ll strike, but we won’t, our threats are enough, but they aren’t, our strike will be small but big and powerful, IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!”

Of course, President Obama is all upset that the Syria rebels–many of whom are al Qaeda terrorists–are being attacked by Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, and he’s touted his famed “red line” that will cause him to consider US military intervention in the civil war. But Obama and his crew have not mentioned one thing about any “red line” for the beheadings, rapes, murders and oppressions of Syria’s minority Christians by the very rebels he claims to want to support.

Who would have thought that 11 years after the attacks on 9/11 our own president would be supporting al Qaeda?

The Modern Tokyo Times has a very revealing article revealing how Syria’s Christians–who were living in the region before Islam was invented–are systematically ignored by President Obama and his administration even as these believers are increasingly being murdered by the very people Obama is supporting.

Hollywood Anti-War Left Fears It’s Racist to Oppose Obama’s Syrian War

September 7, 2013 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Actor Ed Asner has explained why the anti-war Hollywood left is absent from the fight against Obama’s war in Syria. Hollywood is more afraid of looking like racists than interested in standing up for their supposed principles against killing people.

Asner made the accusation in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter though he also fell back on Bush-was-worse claims.

Asner is opposed to any military intervention in Syria and said that it could be considered a “war crime” if Obama were to initiate any such action, but he also had an interesting explanation on why there is no organized anti-Syria war movement in Hollywood.

“A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” Asner said.

Syrian Intervention

September 5, 2013 by

-By Chuck Busch

The United States should not take unilateral hostile action in Syria as we, as a nation, have nothing to prove and certainly nothing to gain in executing limited and thereby ineffective, strikes against the Bashar al-Assad regime. Furthermore, we cannot predict what the regional consequences will be and are completely unclear as to what a Syria after Assad would even look like. Though it is certain that the United States is the leader of the free world, it is also painfully obvious, that under this current administration, our country lacks the military, moral and economic capacity to influence significantly events in the Middle East toward the betterment of America’s interests.

It is also fundamentally clear that the will of people does not support another haphazard amateurish venture into the tribal and religious morass that constitutes the geopolitical swamp of that whole region. Polling indicates that the majority believes the US cannot always be the world’s policeman, especially at this particular point in our history. Even President Obama, concluded today that he is not solely responsible for holding Assad accountable, that is, “drawing a red line”, but rather the world community has established the standard that chemical weapons can never be used.

Israeli Dentist Takes Out 3/4 Page Newspaper Ad Slamming Obama

September 4, 2013 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

I guess our only friend in the Middle East is souring a bit on The One, the Obammessiah, the Light Bringer, our President, Barack Obama, as an Israeli dentist is making waves in Israel for taking out an expensive, 3/4 page ad in a newspaper slamming Obama as having “no bite.”

The ad was taken out in the Haaretz newspaper and features a big, close-up photo of a somewhat vacant looking President Obama with an English translation caption of “Lost your bite?”–below which is the info for the dentist’s office.

The paper this ad appeared in is also interesting because it isn’t a conservative paper, but the left-wing Haaretz. The fact that a left-wing citizen took out this ad and the left-wing paper allowed this ad really goes to show how far President Obama has fallen in the eyes of our Israeli allies.

This ad comes on the heels of Obama’s constant redrawing of his “red line” with Syria as Asssad has been accused of several attacks on civilians with chemical weapons in his civil war with rebels trying to oust him.

Congresswoman Pelosi Turns to Five-Year-Old Grandson For War Advice?

September 4, 2013 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) has apparently turned to a very reliable confidante to inform her on whether or not to vote to join Barack Obama’s newest war. She asked her five-year-old grandson

No, seriously. She admitted it on national TV (as seen above).

Before she jetted off from Washington DC to her home in San Francisco she took a few moments out of her very important life to tell reporters that her little grandson told her all about what a war in Syria would mean.

Yes, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives is basing her ideas on what we should do in war, getting ready to determine what our government will do with our men and women at arms, determining what our vital U.S. interests are, all based on the burbling of a five-year-old.

Well, I guess a five-year-old can’t be any more stupid and uninformed than Congress at this point, eh?

Obama Conference Call Ignoring Administration’s Syria Stagnation

July 24, 2012 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama’s reelection team held a conference call recently. The call was meant as an attack on Mitt Romney’s trip abroad, a trip meant to burnish his foreign policy creds. But one thing that team Obama seemed to want to ignore was Obama’s own foreign policy failures in Syria. And so the civil war in that far away lands was practically ignored by Obama’s advisers.

In fact, Obama’s entire policy on Syria seems to have at the very least become stalled. It is likely he’s putting off any further decisions until after the election in order to appease his anti-war left wing supporters. But whatever the case, he is failing to lead in Syria.

There may soon come a very dangerous tipping point in Syria, too.

This week it was reported by some sources that Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian forces have chemical weapons and may be prepared to use them against rebels. Obama has done little of note about this threat.

Sadly, the rebels have been pleading for better weapons from the U.S. but despite Obama’s pledge of his support for them, he has ignored their pleas.

Fox Business Network Video: Henry Kissinger on the Unrest in Syria

July 12, 2012 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Things are still bad in Syria (and all across the Middle East, for that matter). Despite Obama’s claims of great Mid East foreign policy successes, there is still uncertainty and unrest there and Obama is failing to do anything about it all. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger appeared on Fox Business Network with host Lou Dobbs to discuss the unrest in Syria and its impact on U.S. and Russia.

Obama’s Chickens Coming Home To Roost

June 12, 2012 by

by Gary Krasner

I don’t know if any pundits took note of the many news items (like the post below) mentioning that thousands of Syrian children are appealing to Obama’s daughters to intervene via military force in Syria.

The banners and placards read the same message:

Malia and Sasha Obama: Tell your father that we are being assassinated. from Children of Syria

Here’s my commentary about this:

GW wanted the media to lay off his daughters. They deserved a life of privacy as much as that was feasible. So GW never made references to them in any public statements. I also personally believe that GW didn’t want his daughters to become so prominent that they would become media-popular and thereby become targets of jihadist violence.

Memory Hole: Vogue Scrubs Syrian Fawning Article of Syrian Dictator’s Wife

April 27, 2012 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Look nuthin’ up my sleeve, presto! In a typical exercise of Old Media “ethics,” with the flip of the proverbial switch, Vogue erased from the Internet tubes its embarrassing puff piece on the wife of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

In 2011, to much international derision, Vogue published The Rose of the Desert, a puff piece on Asma al-Assad, the wife of the dictator. Unfortunately for Vogue, almost immediately after the piece was published that February, the whole Assad facade began to crumble in a most precipitous way as the revolts and unrest throughout the Middle East grew embroiling Syria along with so many others.

The fawning article of Syria’s first lady crowed about her designer clothing, her western roots, and her serious career in banking making Asma out to be a renaissance woman in the Middle East.

Vogue’s editors tried to defend their piece right after it was released saying the piece was “a way of opening a window into this world a little bit.” But Vogue senior editor Chris Knutsen did sheepishly admit to The Atlantic that Syria is “not as secular as we might like.”

Damascus Must be Destroyed!

March 8, 2012 by

-By Don Boys, Ph.D.

Every time Cato the Elder (born 234 B.C.) spoke to the Roman Senate, whatever the subject, he ended each speech with, “And Carthage [on the coast of North Africa] must be defeated.” After many years, it was.
Likewise, Damascus, Syria is the oldest inhabited city in the world and will be destroyed as was predicted in Isaiah 17:1, “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.” Is that prophesy about to take place before our eyes on television news?

Flavius Josephus in his Antiquities of the Jews, reveals that Damascus was founded by Uz, the son of Aram. He reports that Nicolaus of Damascus, in the fourth book of his History, says, “Abraham reigned at Damascus, being a foreigner, who came with an army out of the land above Babylon, called the land of the Chaldeans: but, after a long time, he got him up, and removed from that country also, with his people, and went into the land then called the land of Canaan, but now the land of Judea.” That means Damascus was a thriving city by about 2000 B.C. since that was the approximate date of Abraham’s birth.

The almost dry Barada River (Cold River) runs through Damascus and is the same as the Abana River mentioned in relation to Captain Naaman as recorded in II Kings 5:12. In the 80’s I did a driving tour from Jerusalem to Amman (Jordan) to Damascus to Beirut, Lebanon. I visited Damascus and spent time at the Abana River as well as the street called Straight mentioned in relation to the Apostle Paul. The street is two miles long and is now in a very poor area whereas in Paul’s day it was a magnificent thoroughfare lined with columns.
