WASHINGTON — The United States was said to have planned to destabilize at least two Arab countries over the last two years.

A former leading U.S. military commander asserted that the administration of President Barack Obama worked to destabilize the regimes of Bahrain and Egypt.

Ret.] Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the administration’s drive against Bahrain, wracked by a Shi’ite revolt, was led by the intelligence community.

Because The Won has more than just muzz sympathies, he in fact openly supports the most radical islamists among them, and he wants those radicals to gain the leadership roles in as many countries as possible. Hell, he’s even doing it here, as he has placed members of the Muslim Brotherhood in sensitive positions within the United States government.

You think he believe his ultimate destiny is Mahdi and head of the Caliphate he's helping put in place??? Could that be the reason he hasn't had the mole on his face removed??? lol

There is muslim legend the Mahdi will have a certain facial feature.

Puny like him, if you ask me...

What remains a mystery to me, is why? I know there are many reasons (control of oil, and etc.), but what is the main reason for a Brotherhood takeover and what’s in it for O?


Why he is doing this and on whose behalf he is doing it for is not clear because it obviously not in their interests to have that disclosed.

These actions are just as obviously not in the interests of America or in the interests of better, more stable world.

His actions are not consistent with support of any one particular group or country, but instead seem to be siding with the most radical, violent, oppressive and outright evil players of all persuasions.

Very strange.

Destabilize, that’s what community organizers do.

Completely agree. Looks like it will remain a mystery for now.

I don’t think Obama and Hillary’s plan was for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over. They had their pick Mohamed EIBaradei and his National Association of Change party during the power vacuum the Brotherhood took over.

He was the CJCS a long time ago...Clinton era.

We don’t know when he came to realize what was taking place, but we do know that when he was sure of it, he spoke out. He retired in 2001....a long time ago.

Its not strange in the slightest; he’s helping along the caliphate with the radical brotherhood holding the reigns. While he (and the worthless democrats and rino’s) are weakening our country financially for a couple generations to come we are removed from preventing sharia and the caliphate. His place in all of this will be the legend of how he helped kill the great satan; only I don’t think any of he or his cronies understood how un-believably hard it is to do; hence we need obamacare to destroy every part of our lives and put the final nail in our own coffin.

Prepare now, its going to be a bumpy ride ahead soon..

Destabilize Egypt to help the oil companies? How? Egypt’s not a big oil producer. I think we should look beyond the oil companies. How does this affect Soros?

WHY the HELL didn’t he stand up and SHOUT THIS???? Too LATE, Hugh!!

If he had opened his mouth while on active duty and said such a thing, it would have been a court-martial offense for comments regarding his commander in chief. He is now a "civilian" like the rest of us and can talk as he likes. BUT, he could actually be brought back on active duty from retirement and court-martialed anyway if Obama and his ilk wanted too do it.

No surprise here.
He loves the extremist jihadi-favoring regimes.
He hates the USA, Christians and Jews.

By any chance, did you look around to see if this article was factual and not propaganda?

Original source is a Bahrain site published in August. No other mentions of this explosive interview that supposedly took place on Fox.

Shelton is a brave man The obamites could call him back to active duty and bust him or put him on a one-way plane ride over to “negotiate” with the taliban

Perhaps he has a lot of other dirt that he is willing to use if they take action (other than the preferred "accident", against him. For all we know, he may be champing at the bit for them to take the bait - probably wishful thinking but there has to be a lot of dirt in decent hands and until now it has been suppressed.
