The root causes for the disasters that have been apparent in the Middle East in the last decade can be laid quite plainly in the lap of our former president, Barack Hussein Obama. There is a lot to be said for a strong stance when it comes to dealing with an enemy who is willing to shout “Death to America!” However, when that leader is in a very weak position, both politically at home, and in the military abroad, the vast inexperience in dealing with crises comes home to roost.
For Obama, that is a massive understatement. His inability to recognize a problem in its infancy led very often to an ignorance on a Cabinet level that boggled the mind. More often than not, Obama seemed to be under the impression that his sycophants in the press reflected the thoughts of the world leaders from afar, admiring him as they lined up at the altar of Barack. He found out too late that no amount of good press at home was going to change the fact that Middle Easterners did not wish to have an Obama administration “helping” them. In a very famous interview on the Arab Spring years back, Christiane Amanpour roamed around the Egyptian streets searching for even one Arab to praise Obama, but much to her dismay, there was nothing but disdain for the US President.
Here follows the Top Seven Ways That Obama Destroyed the Middle East:
ONE: Obama’s generals had advised him to maintain a post-war force of 20,000 troops in country along with the military base America had built in Baghdad. But Obama had made military withdrawal the centerpiece of his foreign policy and ignored his national security team’s advice. Had he not done so, American forces would have been able to effectively destroy ISIS at its birth, saving more than 500,000 lives and avoiding the creation of nearly 20 million refugees in Syria and Iraq. Instead of protecting Iraq and the region from the Islamic terrorists, Obama surrendered the peace, turning Iraq over to Iran and the terrorists, and betraying every American and Iraqi who had given their lives to keep them out.
I have a question: Was it Barack Hussein Obama’s intention ALL ALONG to facilitate this mass displacement of “refugees” from the Middle East and into Europe? Think about that for a moment.
Obama knew very well that the European Union required its member nations to abide by the Schengen Agreement, a promise by the nation’s governments to allow free movement from one EU member nation to the next without the use of a passport. Once any person gained legal entry into any country on the southern border of the EU, it was a hop, skip and a jump to the rest of Europe! Being that Europe is just like the United States in that its nations mimic that of the States in America, so that you can drive from one to the next in a relatively short period of time, immigrants and refugees poured into Europe in numbers not even conceived by the most ecstatic dreams of the globalists. This was a dream come true, all facilitated by the Obama regime, courtesy of a mealy-mouthed and effete Obama “hands-off” policy in the Middle East.
Let’s not forget that Obama’s chip on his shoulder for the United States (for which he was elected president by a majority of the voters) extends to Europe. His father detested colonialism in any form, especially when it came to the Brits. In his one visit to Kenya in his youth, his father must have expressed a loathing for all things British and all things Western, because that is exactly the mentality of the man who ran this country into the Earth in only eight short years. He would love nothing more than the complete and utter devastation of the European continent in a way that was insidiously ingenious. By replacing the entire population of Europe with a Caliphate through massive immigration and refugee displacement, White Europe would be no more.
TWO: Second among the causes of the Middle East’s human tragedy was Obama’s support for the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad whom his secretaries of state, Clinton and Kerry both endorsed as a democratic reformer on the very eve of his savage war against his own people. This was followed by Obama’s refusal to enforce the red line he drew to prevent Assad from using chemical weapons on the Syrian population. When Assad did use them, Obama averted his eyes and papered over his culpability by arranging a phony deal with Russia to remove Assad’s chemical arsenal. Six years later, Assad was again using chemical weapons on Syrian civilians, thus exposing Obama’s ruse.
This one is a no-brainer. Obama’s disgust over even having to lower himself to pretend to be involved in Middle Eastern affairs was palpable and apparent. Like a parade organizer planning the personnel activities in the wake of the elephant march, Obama designated both Clinton and Kerry to scoop up after his mess following his “red-line” incident. This is a man who literally needed the assistance of Candi Crowley, a fake news reporter, to bail him out in a debate with Mitt Romney, after having bombed so thoroughly in his first debate with the millionaire businessman.
THREE: The third cause of the Middle Eastern morass was Obama’s failure, early on in his Obama administration, to support the green revolution in Iran, when its brave citizens poured into the streets in 2009 to protest a rigged election and the totalitarian regime. Obama’s silence was in effect support for the Jew-hating and America-hating regime, into whose ruling group Secretary of State Kerry’s daughter soon married. Obama’s betrayal of the Iranian people was a reiteration of his signature message to the region: America no longer cares to support freedom, and is willing to support its enemies, even those who kill Americans in the name of Islam.
Think about the billions that were handed over so willingly to the murderous regime as an apology of sorts for Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan having frozen Iranian assets so long ago. Through six presidents and nearly four decades, those frozen assets sat and prevented Iran from funding major anti-West, anti-US and anti-Semitic operations on the ground, air and sea.
Obama releases those funds, without Congressional approval and willingly gives those funds over to the same murderers who were chanting “Death to America!” and “Death to Jews!” in exchange for nothing. He doesn’t even have the nerve to demand the hostages being held by Iranian authorities. On top of that, he even grants them a path to nuclear weaponry that will undoubtedly find its way to North Korea or the Muslim Brotherhood in a future that will be less secure for the United States and for which he will be held completely faultless. Only after investigative journalists uncover the truth does he make an effort to secure the hostages and only after yet another clandestine and illegal payment of ransom to the Iranian government.
FOUR: The fourth cause of the Middle Eastern morass was Obama’s intervention in Egypt – his overthrow of an American ally, Hosni Mubarak, and his open support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the spawner of al-Qaeda and Hamas and the chief sponsor of the Islamic jihad against the West. Obama’s support for the Brotherhood was so strong that when it was overthrown by the Egyptian military following massive protests of the Egyptian people, the White House opposed the new regime of the pro-American General, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Through these policies, Obama alienated America’s most important Arab ally in the Middle East and opened the door to Russia’s influence in the region, and to the Kremlin’s alliance with its most barbaric regimes, Syria and Iran.
If you’ll recall, directly after Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood proxy in the presidency of that nation for only weeks, was deposed and captured, along with his staff and cabinet, Obama made a frenzied plea by phone to the pro-American General el-Sisi to not imprison Morsi, but allow him to leniency. Little was said in the Fake News Industrial Complex (FNIC) about it, but it was soundly rejected by the General and instead, Morsi was imprisoned and still remains so to this day. Many people don’t realize that Morsi was a really bad guy. He imprisoned journalists, he imposed laws that were above the reproach of judicial authorities and he instituted on Day One of his presidency an autocratic decree that made him the sole voice in the upholding of order. And he was the buddy of our man, Obama. It’s too bad he didn’t put as much effort into the recovery of Otto Warmbier as he did into his efforts to save from prison a man who represented the very essence of the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.
FIVE: The fifth cause of the terrorist upsurge that has shattered the peace of the Middle East was Obama’s unauthorized, illegal intervention in Libya and murder of its ruler Gaddafi – a ruthless dictator no doubt – but a dedicated enemy of al-Qaeda with whom he was actively at war. The result of this naked American aggression, whose chief advocates were Hillary Clinton and Samantha Power, was a Libya devoured by the terrorist wolves who now rule it – a failed state and a haven for the bloodthirsty savages of al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Of course, this stance of aggression toward all those who opposed terrorism aimed directly at Western values and the US and Israel seemed to be a pattern of behavior for the Obama administration. He specifically chose to ignore al-Qaeda, the “JV team” of ISIS, al-Nusra, al-Shabaab, Hamas, and Hezbollah and focused all his attention on those who opposed them. It was a pretty obvious and transparent attempt to allow the enemies of the West to gain footholds in areas that they wouldn’t normally have dominated.
SIX: The sixth reason the Middle East is now in flames is Obama’s policy of what he calls “strategic patience” but is in effect strategic cowardice and worse. Obama’s failure to act decisively against ISIS – to take only one example – allowed the Islamic State (which Obama has even refused to concede is Islamic), to become the largest terrorist force ever, and to provide its armed missionaries with a free hand to destroy the oldest Christian community in the world in Iraq, exterminating 200,000 members of the faith, while driving many more into exile. By way of contrast and showing what the Obama White House could have done, six months into the Trump administration, the ISIS stronghold of Mosul is liberated and Raqqa is about to fall, spelling the end of the Islamic State. The blood of those slaughtered Christians, as well as the Yazidis and Muslims, is squarely on the head of Barack Obama and his White House enablers – the Democratic Party and the Democrats’ kept press.
In a press event on Wednesday, Army Chief of Staff, General Mark A. Milley, talked about ISIS and reiterated that they are dangerous, BUT THAT THEY HAVE IN FACT BEEN DEFEATED IN RAQQA, THAT THEY ARE ON THE RUN, AND THAT THEY ARE BEING DISPLACED TO OTHER REGIONS WHO WILL NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR DEADLY BRAND OF ISLAM.
When the more than 100 girls from the Christian school in Africa were snatched by al-Shabaab, there was precious little being done by the Obama administration to assist in their recovery. In fact, there were 16 other nations that did more than the United States in trying to track down and recover these unfortunate young ladies who were enslaved and raped. That is a shameful example of the disdain and ignorance that Obama’s administration showed for these Christians.
SEVEN: The seventh cause of the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East – and the one with the most long-lasting consequences – is Obama’s embrace of the terrorist regime in Iran. Iran has killed more Americans than any other enemy of this country. Its kill list goes back to the Marine bombing of 1983 and includes the supply of every I.E.D. in Iraq used to blow up several thousand American soldiers. Yet Obama built his entire Middle East policy around the so-called “deal” with Iran, which provides that nation with a path to nuclear weapons, and has no realistic inspection or enforcement mechanisms. The “Iran deal” lifted the sanctions that had been placed on a regime whose leaders were so openly contemptuous of Obama that they led chants of “Death to America” in the middle of the negotiations. The Iran deal brought America’s mortal enemy out of international isolation, provided it with the opportunity to acquire nuclear weapons, turned a blind eye to its ballistic missile development and stuffed its war chest with $200 billion in cash payments used to fund its weapons programs, and to support terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Yemenite Houthis, busy creating havoc throughout the Middle East.
Another aspect of the ignorance and complete idiocy of the Obama staff, while chants of “Death to America!” were being shouted in the streets, John Kerry was smiling toward news cameras and giving a thumbs-up, stating that the two sides had made great strides toward a long-lasting peace. Meanwhile, had he stepped outside the gates of that compound, he would have met a fate similar to that of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi.
The Middle East is a mess, but today, only six months into the Trump administration, it is 1000% more secure and stable than in decades since. That says a lot about the character of the Trump administration and its resolve (as well as the respected commanded of our enemies) in comparison to an appeasement mentality and enabling operation that defined Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency.
