Charles Krauthammer nails it. The smoke bombs and molotov cocktails in the background are his exclamation point.
When asked his thoughts on today’s turmoil in the Mideast Charles responded,
“What we’re seeing there on the screen is the meltdown, the collapse of Obama policy in the Muslim World…. What we’re seeing now is an Al-Qaedistan developing.”
Yes, we are.
Via Special Report:
Charles Krauthammer on the violence and mass protests in the Mideast:
“What we’re seeing there on the screen is the meltdown, the collapse of Obama policy in the Muslim World. The irony is that it began in Cairo in the same place with the speech he made at the beginning of his presidency in which he said he wanted a new beginning with mutual respect. Implying that under other president, particularly under Bush there was a lack of mutual respect which was an insult to the United States which had gone to war six times in the last 20 year on behalf of oppessed Muslims. In Kuwait, Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. So, to imply that we had somehow mistreated the Muslims which was the premise of his speech and how the Iraq War had inflamed the Arab World against us. Well, there was no storming of the Embassy in Cairo in those days.
What we’re seeing now is an Al-Qaedistan developing in Libya, a meltdown of our relations with Egypt. We have riots in Yemen. Attacks on our embassy in Tunisia. This entire premise that we want to be loved and respected, for him to apologize has now yielded all of these results. And these are the fruits of apology and retreat and lack of confidence in our own principles.”

On the bright side, if they create an Al-Qaedastan, we can nuke them all at once.

#1 – No we can’t nuke ‘em. Obama has been busy cutting our nuclear arsenal down to levels not seen since 1950! Between that and sequestration we are defenseless.
Multitude commented:
“We’re also in contact with other governments telling them they have to do their part…”. Barack Obaama today blaming other nations for lax embassy security. Leading from behind is no leadership at all. Even the neutral Swiss do not outsource their security and defense.
Today, some of the jet setting media elites are beginning to realize just how massive a disaster this president is. David Gregory, Maureen Dowd and all he other media elites lied about this man in order to conceal his absolute lack of qualification for office. Now they’re seeing the world set on fire because of their selection.
It’s much too late for them to hide their implication. We all are accountable for our actions. Only by throwing him overboard now can they have a chance at redemption, should the world not fall entirely into chaos and tyranny, but we may have already passed that exit.

Larkin commented:
The poll question about who is more reliable on foreign policy, o or Romney, is laughable.
Good grief, I myself would be better on foreign policy than o, and I don’t know jack.
The difference is, I would be on America’s side, as I believe Romney is as well.

Obama’s kill list and drone strikes implicated as the
root cause of the strikes. Per Time, this afternoon:
“Noman Benotman, a former leader of the militant Libyan Islamic
Fighting Group who now runs the Quilliam Foundation, an anti-
extremist organization in London, said he believed the attack
had been the work of 20 militants.
He told CNN that he believed a militant group called the Omar Abdul
Rahman Brigades could have coordinated the attack, perhaps to
avenge the killing of Abu Yahya al-Libi, a Libyan al-Qaeda leader,
who died in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan last June.”]
Who might be behind it?

Egypt has not manufactured anything since Roman times. Do they really have anything that we would want, certainly not a conversation.

Yes you are watching the real life incarnation of ” Lucifer Rising ” play out before your eyes ….the Thelema Satanic film put together by members of the Charles Manson Cult back in the late 60s……A cult that now appears to be running all levels of government with Bobby Beausoleil as Lucifer directing the shots….> http://youtu.be/mTjXYKmBsxU

Romney was right, after the party follows the hangover.
Amash commented:
1979 – 2012
Only difference is that Carter hid in the WH.
Oblamer doesn’t have to hide. lame street media is his cover.
Elections will offer the same result: Carter’s ass and Oblamers’s ass both thrown out of the
Presidency.

Obama’s ‘Missing Link’
[That take was quickly reinforced on Tuesday, when Obama, almost chastising his angry left-wing base for not understanding political realities, analogized Republicans to "hostage-takers," holding Obama and America and its poor and proletariat ransom to tax cuts for the bloody rich. The president bemoaned his moral dilemma, forced as he was to "negotiate" with Republicans, who kneel before what Obama described as "their Holy Grail": "tax cuts for the wealthy." It was a stunning metaphor, and rather offensive: That cup overfloweth, apparently, with the real presence of the blood of the workers, which Republicans and their loyal factory bosses and greedy landlords slurp up from the fruits of the assembly line.
"These tax cuts for the wealthy -- "said a visibly bitter Obama"
-- this is, seems to be, their central economic doctrine."]

Meeting Young Obama
[Boss and Obama, however, had a starkly different view. They believed that the economic stresses of the Carter years meant revolution was still imminent. The election of Reagan was simply a minor set-back in terms of the coming revolution. As I recall, Obama repeatedly used the phrase "When the revolution comes...." In my mind, I remember thinking that Obama was blindly sticking to the simple Marxist theory that had characterized my own views while I was an undergraduate at Occidental College. "There's going to be a revolution," Obama said, "we need to be organized and grow the movement." In Obama's view, our role must be to educate others so that we might usher in more quickly this inevitable revolution.
I know this may be implausible to some readers, but I distinctly remember Obama surprising me by bringing up Frantz Fanon and colonialism. He impressed me with his knowledge of these two topics, topics which were not among my strong points -- or of overwhelming concern to me. Boss and Obama seemed to think their ideological purity was a persuasive argument in predicting that a coming revolution would end capitalism. While I felt I was doing them a favor by providing them with the latest research, I saw I was in danger of being cast as a reactionary who did not grasp the nuances of international Marxist theory.]

Even Republicans Rejected Info About Obama’s Past
[What would you do if you knew that the top Democrat
running for president was lying about his past?
That is the question I was faced with in 2008. I had met the young Barack Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, and I knew that his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding. See my earlier article on American Thinker.
I had been a leader of the Marxist students at Occidental College myself, starting in 1976 when I founded the precursor of the Democrat Socialist Alliance on campus. The young Obama I knew was a Marxist socialist who would have been quite comfortable with Communist party members like his Hawaii mentor Frank Marshall Davis, retired domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers, or active socialist politicians like Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer.]
