Rarely Has An Int’l Crisis Been More Predictable
Steve McCann / American Thinker
Rarely has an international crisis and potential for a regional conflict been more predicable than what the world is witnessing in the Middle East and North Africa. The naiveté, ignorance and narcissism of Barack Obama coupled with his and other world leaders’ despicable deference to radical Islam has eventuated in creating the Balkans of the 21st Century, whose counterpart in 1914 became the tinderbox that enflamed the globe as World War I; a war whose consequences are still felt to this day.
Barack Obama, determined to become the Muslim world’s best friend, has instead unleashed the dogs of war in the Middle East. He has actively backed the overthrow of various governments in the vain and naïve hope that the extreme radical element of Islam would not step into the resultant leadership vacuum. He has essentially told Iran, that they are free to develop nuclear weapons and to meddle in the affairs of Lebanon, Syria and whatever country they choose with no consequences. He has given Hamas and the Palestinian Authority a green light to confront Israel, as U.S. policy is now to browbeat and intimidate the Israelis to accept any agreement while demanding their acquiescence to Iranian nuclear capability. He has willfully created a power and influence void into which Russia has now stepped.
Barack Obama has signaled, by his numerous apologies and adolescent groveling, that the United States is no longer engaged and is willing to be deferential to all the nations of the region regardless of their potential threat to America or the West, including Israel now essentially isolated and alone.

Ok, yeah – right. And how is it that GW Bush was never able to get Bin Laden, but Obama did? And are you really trying to tell us that everything that is happening now is a result of what Obama has done, and has NOTHING to do with the years that Bush Sr was in office (first Iraq war) or when Jr was in office?!?! (got us into second Iraq war and Afghanistan)
What a crock of $#*!%!!! I am so SICK of all this BS being spewed by all of the Tea Partier brainwashees – WAKE THE F UP! What is happening now has just as much to do with earlier Republican administrations as it does Obama.
Both parties are F’ed up and losing their “fan base”. This two party paradigm has GOT to change….and soon. BTW, did you ACTUALLY see OBL’s body after the Pakistan raid? Or did you just take their word for it? Or maybe you believe those doctored “kill” photos they paraded around the MSM networks.
Interestingly, there were reports that OBL died back in 2004 after the Tora Bora firefight. After all, he was on kidney dialysis and, from what I’ve heard, it’s hard to lug one of those dialysis machines around with you when your skulking around in the mountains darting between caves.
Good article, you are 100% right. What leader apologizes to these terrorist nations? A weak one that does not understand that his apologies show weakness in our nation.
