So now we can see the terrible results of western liberal hubris, the so-called Arab Spring so credulously and stupidly brought into being by Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy. In Libya, the American ambassador and three colleagues have been murdered. In Egypt, the embassy has been sacked. In Yemen, the mob inflamed by Muslim Brotherhood incitement has today stormed the US embassy there.
How Obama et al preened and postured over their role in helping the Libyan ‘opposition’ get rid of Gaddafy! How they congratulated themselves at the fall of Mubarak in Egypt! It was the dawn of democracy, they gushed, a new era for Libyans and Egyptians who were all on Twitter and Facebook and so were clearly modern folk keen to enjoy human rights and the rule of law, and who could now have all of that thanks to the enlightened help of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy.
In fact, the most likely result always was the empowerment of Islamic radicals who would enslave the people and make war against the west. Obstinately, these arrogant western fools nevertheless stuck to their fantasy of a democratic ‘spring’, even while the evidence mounted up that what they had actually done was create a vacuum which would unleash the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic radicals and thus set Libya and Egypt on a path back towards the 7th century.
In Egypt, they helped depose a ruler who was in the pocket of the west; the man they helped install instead, Mohamed Morsi, is not only a Muslim Brotherhood placeman but has been cosying up to Iran. An alliance between the Sunni mortal enemies of the west and the Shia mortal enemies of the west – that’s quite an achievement. Well done, Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy!
Now the American ambassador to Libya and three of his colleagues, along with up to ten Libyans, have been most foully murdered by the very mob that we were told represented the new Libya. They burned the American flag and ran up instead the black flag of jihad. The ostensible reason for the violence, an apparently amateurish and deliberately inflammatory film that insulted Islam, was just a pretext (the identity of the film’s maker remains a mystery, with the theory growing that it was a Coptic Christian rather than, as originally reported by the BBC, an Israeli film-maker). It now turns out that this was probably a long-planned Islamist attack, possibly by al Qaeda in revenge for the killing of its second-in-command Abu Yahya al-Libi, who was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan in June.
The Arab Winter has not brought forth democracy but unleashed anarchy and religious fanaticism, with Islamic mobs hitherto kept under control by Gaddafy and Mubarak now empowered, strengthened and rampaging out of control throughout the region.
We know who are the real guilty men here. Even now, Obama is stroking the enemies of the west while kicking its allies in the crutch. ‘Too busy’ to see Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu when he comes to Washington later this month to beg for American help in preventing Iran from obtaining the nuclear weapons which it will use to achieve its declared aim of wiping Israel from the face of the earth, Obama will nevertheless meet Morsi, who has so far issued only qualified regret for the storming of the US embassy in Cairo, demanded that the US government take action against the maker of the anti-Islamic film -- and who last spring released from an Egyptian prison Mohammed Zawahiri, brother of al Qaeda’s current leader and who led the mob who stormed the Cairo embassy this week. As James Lewis observes in a fine piece at American Thinker:
‘The United States now stands with the forces of destruction...’
While America reels under assault from the very forces unleashed by its own President, the fanatics running the Iranian regime are holding their breath that Obama will be re-elected so that they can progress unhindered to the creation of their genocide bomb. Never have the American people been faced with such a momentous choice for the future of the world than the one they will make on November 6.
We wouldn’t have expected anything better from the spineless, socialist Eurocrats like Cameron. The president is supposed to look out for our interests and do everything with an eye on the future.... oh wait... our leader is a spineless socialist as well.
The worst President in the history of the world.
Perhaps Obama (already anti-Israel) had made a promise to the Muslim brotherhood that he would remove the support of Israel from the DNC platform. When Obama saw a loss of support because of it he may have reluctantly allowed them to put it back in. The Muslim Brotherhood were angered by this, I suppose, which may be why Obama snubs Israel even more today and invites the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House for a meeting next week.
The organizers of the protests/attacks may have used the existence of an anti-Muslim film to get others to join, just as they recruited protesters in the name of "freedom" during the so-called "Arab Spring".
This is an anti-Israel/Anti-American protest. Pure and simple.
I think that's what is really going on. Spiking the football too much about Bin Laden and breaking a promise to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Now Romney Ryan must unload and explode Obama and hese dhimmy thugs !
CNN is owned by middle eastern money(see the advertising) and they invited yesterday Tarik Ramadan who is an islamist snake well known in Europe
Obama is playing for the other side
Unbelievable.
No mention of Dubya and his democratic dreams for the Middle East? Convenient oversight.
“n fact, the most likely result always was the empowerment of Islamic radicals who would enslave the people and make war against the west.”
Oblunder and hillary better know the islamics are coming after them next. Would not surprise me to see the muzzies start murdering our “leadership” once they decide the useful fools are no longer of any use.
Get over it, tool. Bush isn’t president, has absolutely no influence now on what takes place in the middle east. It’s like blaming Carter for today’s iran.
“Bush touts Arab spring, says US can’t fear freedom”

Yeah. Let’s just ignore Dumdo Dubya. Right.
That is what is so infuriating
You vote vote the GOP and get Bush
I knew he was a loser when in the primaries he used Compassionate Conservatism
And he praised Franklin Raines and the Fanny Mae Fiasco as a wonderful thing
+1 insightful
Why don’t the Arab Spring supporters like Bush, Cameron, Sarko, McCain, Boot, etc. join up and travel over to N.Africa and help those Freedom loving Muslim democrats to realize their dreams?
“In fact, the most likely result always was the empowerment of Islamic radicals who would enslave the people and make war against the west.”
The writer needs to take the next logical step: Obama is the leader of the Islamic radicals, and he ordered the attack on the embassies. The borders are wide open so Buckwheat can get his surrogate mercenary army into the United States and attack us. Last week, Mexican authorities captured a group of radical jihadists. These goat-humpers weren’t there to tour Mexico City.
Get ready, people.
“Obama is playing for the other side”
Thank you. You get it. He is one of them.
