RE: "Just another Shell Game....Obama’s handiwork."

This is one Hell of a fine web being weaved. So many parts that can at first or second look, seem improbable in how things are working out. Then opinions, and or actual conditions on the ground change, new options come out of some circles or can change.

The table must be long and wide to hold so many clam shells with who knows how many peas.

America recognizes several SUNNI terrorist organizations
as the legitimate representative of the Syrian People, sending them WMDs from Libya?

That and 25 cents should cause Armageddon.

Congratulations USA!!!

Obama fascism wins yet again by connecting America to Islamofascism!

Maybe we will luck out and watch the Syrian Liberation Front totally destroy each other instead of winning against Assad and then turning their tender mercies on Israel as Obama intends. The Russians are not done with Obama quite yet.

Excerpt:
Mr. Obama notably did not commit himself to providing arms to the rebels or to supporting them militarily with airstrikes or the establishment of a no-fly zone, a stance that has led to a rise of anti-American sentiment among many of the rebels.

That is the kind of half-step that has led to mounting frustration in Syria, peaking this week with the blacklisting of the Nusra Front. Far from isolating the group, interviews with Syrian rebels and activists show, it has for now appeared to do the opposite. It has united a broad spectrum of the opposition — from Islamist fighters to liberal and nonviolent activists who fervently oppose them — in anger and exasperation with the United States.

snip

The widespread dissatisfaction among rebel groups — and the broader population — raises the possibility that now, just as the United States is stepping up efforts to steer the outcome in Syria, it may already be too late.

More than 100 antigovernment organizations and fighting battalions have called online for demonstrations on Friday under the slogan, “No to American intervention — we are all Jabhet al-Nusra,” a reference to the Nusra Front’s Arabic name.

“Anti-American sentiment is growing, because the Americans are messing up in bigger ways lately,” said Nabil al-Amir, an official spokesman for the rebel military council for Damascus and its suburbs, one of the committees that the United States and its allies are trying to coax into a unified rebel command. With every step to correct earlier mistakes, he said, “they make a bigger mess.”

What a sad state of affairs. Who would have imagined the day that the USA would be on the side of Muslim Socialist Extremists!

What a world.

Stalemate stokes anger at rebels in Aleppo

Many Syrian residents are fed up with rebel fighters as the conflict drags on in the once-thriving commercial centre.

“Our country is being destroyed. If this is the revolution, I don’t want it. I have to stress that I am not a supporter of the regime, because they used to oppress us. But now, we are being oppressed 100 times more.”

You know, for the past thirty years, when ever an enemy of America can be identified our Federal government is on their side.

The Syrian rebels are now inclusive.

I wonder how many Christians are included.

You fools are leading the most prosperous, generous, inventive nation down into the abyss of socialism that has never worked.


It’s worked to create more people in poverty and more people murdered by regimes than any other. If demoralization, oppression, poverty and mass State murder are your “values”, socialism/communism is for you!

Apparently it is still appealing to many. Especially the globalists and Ivy Leaugers. What stupid and evil! Well, not much we can do about it, I fear. It’s time seems to have come again. It’s one part of the darkest aspects of human history America’s (re)educators are not interested in studying and telling.

I don’t know what will happen to our country and of course the ones 0moslem is helping become Islamist, if our mil who still take their oath seriously do not overturn this coup. And by that I mean the one happening in our country.
