I wonder if Bibi could try discretely putting it out that a few of Israel’s Samson-option nukes are pointing at the US. That might concentrate a few minds in Washington.

You know, I think a lot of BO’s moslem cheerleading is a sort of Lefty “Fight tha Power!” dashiki-wearing, Flip Off America BS. I’ve never thought the guy was reverent in any religious sense. But in practical terms, what difference, at this point, does it make?

From three years ago: Obama & Jeremiah Wright’s ties to the “Nation of Islam” and Libya.

You know, I really don't think we have to search for Obama's hidden, or not so hidden, affiliation with Muslims to explain his motivations, when we can look much closer to home and see what he sat through for 20 years at a church based on black liberation theology run by his close friend and mentor, Jeremiah Wright. Just take a peek at this video from 2008, and feel the hatred coming at you. No mention of Jews, in particular, in that bit, but elsewhere Rev. Wright has been quite explicit about how he feels about them. Anyway, that's where Obama is coming from.

physics guy:

That did occur to me, briefly. But I figured he’d have spelled it differently (leave out one of the “i’s”?).

Maybe I’m losing my sense of humor 🙂 .

But it actually is a real question that I’ve wondered about when I realized how strongly Obama was favoring the Shiite Iran over the Sunnis in the Middle East.

Kyndyll: I am not prepared to say that President Obama is a Muslim. I’m quite willing to say that he is sympathetic to Islam, and perhaps a “fellow traveler”.

As such — and given his freshman-bull-session level of understanding of international politics — I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the distinction between Shiite and Sunni is unimportant to him. I’m sure he’d much rather support any Shiite country OR any Sunni country instead of Israel.

Actually, the Shiite/Sunni question is intriguing. One of the only obvious parts of Obama’s foreign policy that isn’t obviously pro-Sunni Jihadist is appeasing the mullocracy of Iran – which, last I checked, is a major backer of anti-Sunni Islamic violence. Is he such a kiss-up to Islam that he takes the side of any Islamist in any situation regardless of sectarian factors, or is he trying to play both sides? The level of Chicago evil is such that I wouldn’t otherwise put it past him to play two sides against each other, but how does that benefit Islam against Obama’s least favorite entity, citizens of the United States?

Wow, my sympathies. At least I’m not having dreams about geopolitics—not yet, anyway. At least not that I can remember.

Had a really weird dream last night. The international community (including the Vatican; I’m not sure why that was involved) “resolved” the Palestinian problem by basically unrecognizing Israel, and arbitrarily designating it as part of “Palestine”. I don’t think the dream lasted long enough to note any repercussions of that action, but it was troubling.

Hope it doesn’t turn out to be prophetic a couple of decades from now.
