MAAN, Jordan — Hanging from the facade of a shuttered bank on a bustling market street in this sunbaked town were two large, white banners emblazoned with black letters.

“We congratulate the Islamic nation for its epic conquests,” one read. “Granted by Allah to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.”

The banners went up last month after about 100 local residents carried them through downtown, waving the black flags of jihad and praising the extremist group that has seized territory in two neighboring countries.

Obama’s foreign policy is failing at epic speed, plunging to levels of incompetence unprecedented in humanity’s history.

Can anyone tell me?

“Obama’s foreign policy is failing at epic speed”

I think you meant “succeeding”.

“I will stand with Islam”
“A new direction for America”
“Rebuild America on a new foundation”

A friend of the family was sick with cancer. She resided in a Greenwich manor and she was fabulous well educated engaging and amusing

I went with her to manhattan to see her MD. Sloan Kettering

She was reading The Post

Some man equal in socioeconomic said to her from way up on top his nose, over his New York Times, “you read that tabloid silly paper?’

She looked over and replied, ‘we’ll, you won’t catch me reading that Muslim rag... Ever!’

That was ten years ago

—— The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Tom Malinowski is not welcome in Bahrain. It said he intervened in the country’s domestic affairs by holding meetings with some groups at the expense of others. -—

I think Zer0 is doing exactly what he desires, surround Israel with fundamentalist Muslim States.
He backs the the jihadists in every country they are trying to gain power.
Jordan, then Saudi Arabia.
