For the past year the brave people of Kafranbel, Syria have cried out to the West for assistance. For these courageous protesters revealing their identities could mean punishment or death. Despite this, they remain undeterred in their efforts.

Obama doesn’t care about them. And he is our Commander-in-Chief.
THANKS, Obama voters. YOU DID THIS.

I’m guessing Amnesty International is going to hop right on this.

They Syrian rebels put the occupy morons to shame with their intent, signs and appearance, and they are constantly under military attack while the occupy morons had donors, squatted on parks and the police treated them with kid gloves. mpw

#Occupy? Nothing but a bunch of spoiled brats (including those in their forties) who want what other people have worked to attain. These people want what the occupiers take for granted…just the opportunity to live free for one day.

I would gladly trade any retard liberal (including neighbors, co-workers, friends, President) for any one of these brave individuals. Round up our domestic enemies and ship them somewhere else…let’s help these brave people!

Those are some REAL men! They have balls to stand, faces uncovered, with these banners. All the while, president O-duffer is out playing yet another game of golf on yet another all expenses picked up by the taxpayers vacation.
Syrians, you who are seeking freedom, I’m sorry to inform you that the administration of the USA has been abdicated to spoiled children, idiots, and liars. Unfortunately, that means you’re on your own. I wish that was not the case. This administration, actually the entire governmental system, doesn’t give two hoots in hell about me or any other citizen, unless we have deep pockets they can stick their hands into; they’re sure not going to stick out their necks for doing the right thing by you. Sorry, but that is the facts.
Unfortunately, even if the Republicans get back in the executive office, if we end up with the media darling, Mittens Romney, you will fare no better… nor will we, in all likelihood.

Where are all the Sean Penns and Susan Sarandons and the Michael Moores and Alan Colmes and the Alec Baldwins? Those loudmouths sure as hell had no problem standing up FOR Saddam Hussein. They claim they are for peace, and yet they are silent as Syrians are gunned down in the streets.
The next time they are interviewed, they should be grilled on their silence.

From “View from the Right” today:
“The 200 year old Institute d’Egypte, housing 200,000 volumes, was destroyed by a fire-wielding Cairo mob on December 17. The feckless Daniel Pipes, who last winter and spring supported the “pro-democracy” overthrow of the Mubarak regime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (he dismissed the prospects for Muslim democracy on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and on Sundays he wasn’t sure), is unhappy about the destruction of the library, where he hung out when he was imbibing his romantic love of Islam back in the ‘70s. Of course he does not derive any lessons from the event, except to note that it fits a pattern of destructiveness of non-Muslim cultural artifacts that has extended throughout Muslim history. But from this pattern of destruction he derives no lesson. Remember, Pipes wrote just five year ago that the way to end Islamic radicalism was for Islam to regain its historic power and confidence, so that (in the words of Wilfred Smith which Pipes approvingly quoted) “Islamic society may once again flourish as a divinely guided society should and must.” Sounds like an endorsement of the Muslim Brotherhood. “

Imanutjob in Iran will be next evil dictator to fall.
None will stand against the greatest evil, Obama.
All as it should be, watch it unfold. We were warned.
Robert commented:
Four of those five dates are on a Friday, presumably
after attending the “religious” service at the local mosque.
Jus’ sayin’
Robert commented:
Oops. Maybe I shouldn’t point that out. The Obama administration
might decide that it should support the “brave freedom fighters” of Syria.
Robert commented:
I wonder if they got their way how the Christians would fare …
Joanne commented:
NATO stood by when hell broke out in Iran to out the mullahs and where did that get Iran – stuck with the nujobs Islamists. NATO helped Libya and where did that get anyone – with the Islamic nutjobs. NATO stood by when hell broke out in Egypt and where did that get anyone – with the muslim brotherhood. Where will NATO’s help get Syria – with the muslim brotherhood? We need to stay the hell out or at least determine who the h*ll we are helping before going in.

Greetings:
Oh, yes, and by all means, let’s redistribute some more of our long gone wealth and acquire some more current debt to help our Arab/Muslims brothers and sisters, because, hey, we like them, and they all love our wealth. Come on, President Obama do some more of your thing.
Islam is the millstone. When they jettison that, we’ll talk some more. Muslim gratitude is like a Missouri-Warhol River, a verbal mile wide, an actual inch deep, and flowing for about 15 minutes.
Regrettably, muslims killing muslims no longer upsets me, kind of like how the muslims are about muslims killing Christians.

I remember the Kuwaiti prince, at a Congressional hearing in late 1990, pleading for help – even from ISRAEL.
Well, let me know if a sign like that pops up. (sarc)
Kingslaoyor commented:
If these rebels were illegal aliens and possible future voters they would be all over this!!! But the fact is the present administration can’t figure out how these ” REBELS ” can be useful. Just another missed opportunity like the protests in IRAN that has come back to haunt us!!! This administation once again has discraced the virtues that this country stands for ” FREEDOM “. But this clown club stands only for party GREED, POWER, and CONTROL!!!!

Exactly! The first opportunity they get, they’ll all vote for the Muslim Brotherhood and will dance in the streets and cheer “Down with the Great Satan America” as the Koran is formally enshrined as their “Constitution” and Sharia becomes the law of the land. Then, as various factions fight for supremacy over the other, they’ll start blowing each other up at weddings, funerals, markets, shopping malls and everyplace else there’s a public gathering. Praise Allah!

Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
The one thing you can be dead certain of is that they DON’T WANT FREEDOM. There is no freedom in islam. Islam means “submission”. They only want to be “free” to totally submit to allah and, as we all know, allah wants them to kill Jews, kill apostates, kill infidels, and keeping killing and fighting their 1400 year long holy war with EVERYBODY until the whole world has been conquered and everyone has “submitted” and all are muslim living under the global Caliphate. Praise allah!

We know where Obama stands and we know where Ron Paul stands. On the graves of these people just as they stand on the victims of 9-11.
FurryGuy commented:
People who want freedom from despotic regimes, Barry sides with the government. Jihadies who will crack down on “corrupt Western influences”, Barry overthrows the government.
Libya is an anomaly because he stonedwalled until it was convenient (for crass political advantage at home that ultimately proved ephemeral) to intervene and make him :look tough”.
Barry spent his time in the US Senate and on the 2008 campaign trail how wrong Bush was for being a cowboy, and yet Barry is more than willing to do what he condemned GW for just for appearances.
Dangeraffe commented:
In Egypt, Obama essentially deposed a pro-western dictator in favor of an Islamic dictatorship run by the Muslim Brotherhood. The slower transition advocated by Mubarak might have given pro-democracy forces a chance to mobilize and show stronger in the elections, but BO was having none of that. What we have there now is a direct result of his foreign policy failures.
In Libya, he waged an actual “illegal war for oil” (as the left had wrongly accused Bush of doing in Iraq), deposing a dictator who had given up his WMD programs and posed no threat to our national security (though richly deserving of death) in favor of… Al Qaeda. Yes, we provided air support to Al Qaeda in Libya, many of whom had our soldier’s blood on their hands from fighting in Iraq, and they now fly their flag openly in Tripoli. Once elections roll around, they will own a middle eastern oil producing country.
Iran and Syria are already controlled by terrorists. Is it any wonder he won’t intervene there? His goals are to increase Islamist power around the world, not degrade it.
And to those who rightly believe that assisting with the “Arab Spring” might be a bit unproductive: deposing the current regimes in either Iran or Syria might just put a different band of religious nut jobs in power, but can it really be worse than what’s already there? At least there will be a disruption of current terrorist plots while the transition takes place.
MWR commented:
G-ddammit, the current administration will do NOTHING for these people, just as it did nothing for the rebels in Iran. Assad will continue to slaughter his own people while Obama picks his nose on the golf course!
The OWS crowd knows NOTHING about the bravery it takes to actually risk your life and the lives of your loved ones to actually stand up to the ruling class. They should be ashamed.
My prayers and hopes are with the brave people of Syria.

uhg, Egypt was in a downward spiral, Mubarak was a corrupt dictator,
the Muslim Brotherhood hood held 88 seats in Parliament, and SHARIA
LAW was the law of the land.. *sigh*
Bush supported dissidents, Obama cut them off & funded the
Muslim Brotherhood, Israel favored a Suleiman (military) rule..

Frankly Muslims I don’t give a damn.
Hera commented:
This is an Arab problem that should be handled by Arabs. Where are the wealthy Arab nations why aren’t they helping their Arab brothers? Where are the Arab Americans and American Muslims shouldn’t they be going to the aide of their Arab and Muslims brothers? Why are American Muslims busy protesting Lowes will ignoring President Assad? For years we’ve been told that Arabs don’t want Westerners and especially Americans interfering in their lives. Now they are getting what they asked for.
