Krauthammer: ‘Lethargy,’ ‘Disinterest’ Obama Shows Toward Jordan/ISIS Conflict Is ‘Simply Astonishing’ [VIDEO]

Posted By Al Weaver On 7:56 PM 02/04/2015 In | 2 Comments

 Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer slammed the Obama administration’s foreign policy Wednesday night on “Special Report,” saying the “disinterest” and “lethargy” President Obama shows toward Jordan and its impending fight against ISIS is “simply astonishing.”

The conservative commentator also panned the Obama administration’s “coalition,” calling it “a joke.” He warned that not helping Jordan in its current situation with ISIS could beset a “huge setback” for the U.S.
 
KRAUTHAMMER: The disinterest, the lethargy of this president, the lassitude with which he pursues this war which he declared himself is simply astonishing. You know, he hasn’t armed the Syrian rebels, the ones who are pro-Western. They have been withering on the vine. They’re being wiped out. The weapons that the Kurds have been desperately needing have not been arriving. Jordan, which is our staunchest ally in the area, is short of weaponry, short of munitions and it takes forever for that to get through. It shouldn’t even be an issue. A president steps in and says to the State Department and Defense Department “I want this done.” Nixon did an airlift in the middle of the October war, the ’73 war in which he airlifted munitions to the Middle East overnight.

This president is not interested and to go out of area in Ukraine. For a year the Ukrainians and Americans in Congress have been asking him to equip them. What is he doing? he seems completely uninterested. He’s grudgingly doing what he has to do because of the beheading of two Americans that drove him into this. The idea that Jordan, the smallest, the most fragile, the most isolated country in the region should be leading this campaign rather than the United States is simply astonishing.

And the talk of the 60-member coalition is a joke. I saw on the list Belgium. You know, that’s really the heart of this coalition. Jordan is out there alone and we could suffer a huge setback if it’s not helped from the outside, meaning us and the other states in the region.

I have a massive respect for Mr. Krauthammer. He's right.

Every time I hear the phrase "the US lead coalition" I want to spit. No offense to members here - it ain't your fault. But shit, the Worm is at a new low even for him. As some here know, I was points south for a month recently, and when your only reliable supply is from the bleep Iranians, it really makes you think.

You only have to take a quick inventory of who Obama likes and respects, and who he dislikes and disrespects to get the picture of where he stands.

He loves and funds the Muslim Brotherhood. (terrorists) And many MB members are on his staff. In fact the Egyptian State paper has published that Obama is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, for what that is worth.

He loves and funds Hamas. (terrorists) During the last skirmish between Israel and Hamas, Obama was clearly and vigorously siding with Hamas against Israel. Obama is sending them hundreds of millions of American dollars which they use to buy weapons and missiles to attack Israel.

He loves Iran and obviously supports their goal to achieve nuclear weapons. He refuses to support any sanctions against the mullah. He has returned 10s of billions of frozen funds to the murderous mullahs there which they will certainly use to fund their nuclear ambitions.

He seems to love Al Queda, or at least elements of Al Queda. In an unimaginable turn of alliances, U.S. military forces fought side by side with veteran Al Queda forces in Libya to overthrow Qaddafi. Libya is now a land in complete chaos, and is more or less controlled by elements of Al Queda. Furthermore, he refuses to attack Al Queda in Syria, and only tepidly and reluctantly attacks ISIS, which is a declared ally of Al Queda. And, he returned 5 of their top generals to them, during an active time of conflict, while gaining in return a mentally disturbed private who defected to the enemy side.

So, Who does he not like?

He obviously "Hates", with a deep and seething hate, the State of Israel. He has restricted Israeli visas to America, while actively promoting and shipping into America people from every other country in the world. He attempted to choke off military arms sales to Israel in support of Hamas. He funds the PLO and Hamas with millions of dollars every year. I personally believe that if there was any State in the M.E. Obama would delight in attacking, it would be Israel over any Muslim country or group. In his mind, Israel are the terrorists, and Hamas are the victims.

He does not like Egypt, now, since they ousted the Obama government he forced on them which was the Muslim Brotherhood. While the MB controlled Egypt, (even as the MB was calling Israel, I don't know, monkeys and pigs or whatever) even as the MB was openly declaring their goal to attack and exterminate Israel, at the same time Obama was sending the MB tanks, fighter jets, and other weapons, along with millions and millions of dollars, all of which was halted as soon as the Egyptian people overthrew the MB and took their own government back. They rejected the Obama 'vision' of what their country should be.

He does not like Jordan because they are a relatively moderate and modern/Western version of Islam. Just as the Black culture in America uses the pejorative, "they ain't Black enough', in Obama's world, Jordan 'ain't Muslim enough' for him.

He does not like and refuses to support the Kurds, who are currently engaged with ISIS. Again, the Kurds are a more moderate and Western version of Islam, and Obama rejects this. It is curious how many air drops of weapons and supplies meant for the Kurds, have 'accidentally' been dropped over ISIS positions.

He obviously either does not like or is apathetic to the Yazidis and Christians in general. His anti-Christian sentiments as expressed in America are famous, and while promoting Islam all over America, Obama is simultaneously curtailing and clamping down on Christian freedom of religious expression. While story after story of the brutality, rape, slavery, torture, and murder of the Yazidis, not only does Obama do nothing about it as in supporting them, he does not even acknowledge that it is happening at all. He does not seem to think it is something worth addressing or even recognizing.

However, he was ready to destroy Israel for the crime of defending themselves against people who were actively bombing them. So, the rule seems to be, Muslims killing Jews and Christians is no big deal. Jew and Christians killing Muslims will not be tolerated. It is time to call out the bombers.

Obama's fidelity to Islam could not be more clear. It is actually silly to deny it anymore. The closer he gets to his end of term, the more brazen his support for all things Islamic, and worse, the more brazen his antipathy for all things not Islamic, becomes. Based on the facts of Obama's behavior, actions, words, and emotions, he is clearly a Muslim, which would be fine with everyone, I think.

However, my fear is that not only is Obama a Muslim, or an Islamophile, as some people call him, but more than that he is a radical Muslim. Or at least he seems to support the groups, causes, and goals, of radical Islam which is why he will not say "radical Islam". In his mind there is no such thing as 'terrorists' or 'radical Islam'. It is all simply just Islam. That is what Islam is, in his mind.

The "real" terrorists are, according to him, the Tea Party, the Israelis, White Americans, White colonialists all over the world, and the moderate apostate Muslims countries who support them.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

It begs the question, what did his campaign mean by "hope and change?" Also, what did Americans think they were voting for when they twice pulled the lever for Obama?

Is the electorate stupid, or just shallow and gullible?

Is the public any longer even capable of political discernment?

How does someone as undistinguished as Obama get into the position to run and win the presidency?

This one infuriates me: Is political correctness a societal suicide pact?

Just my frustrated ramblings. Carry-on.

Yes but just barely because most of them don't really have a source for HONEST information these days.

Money! Lots and lots of money imported from places like Iran along with a complicit media that is completely in the leftist tank!

Well done. You tie it together nicely. I'd share this, but many people I know would be offended at such a direct attack on Obama. Sadly, that is the state of the American public.

Yet Joe SixPack does nothing.

Joe SixPack doesn't know what the hell he could do.  He's busy trying to make ends meet in his own world.

Americans will continue to be tuned out until something devastatingly huge happens right here.  They don't know what to do and it isn't a priority to them.  It's all happening someplace else that they are never going to even visit.  If you want them to pay attention, it has to be right here in their faces in a very big way.

I agree. But I don't give Joe Sixpack a pass for being busy. Joe can recite the local team's roster, and he knows everything that Jon Stewart has told him. Joe also keeps up on facebook and twitter.

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
 
Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 .
 
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
 
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
 
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
 
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
 
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
 
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
 
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
 
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
 
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
 
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
 
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
 
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
 
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
 
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
 
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
 
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
 
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
 
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
 
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

By design?  Then shame on him.  Government requires supervision.
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

Government requires supervision.

Indeed! As we have been told many times in the past!

"It is for us, fellow citizens, to watch over the sacred legacy of our venerated Fathers, and, when necessary, ‘to provide other guards for the future security’ of ourselves and our posterity. To restore, when impaired, our free institutions to their original strength and purity, and to guard them in future against the open or covert assaults of their enemies. To preserve those institutions pure and uncontaminated, amidst the dangerous and corrupting influences of those who, guided not by the spirit of virtue and patriotism, seek only their own personal interests and personal aggrandizement is a sacred and solemn duty which we own to ourselves, and to those who are destined to walk after us."


Nathan Smith

“It is necessary for every American, with becoming energy to endeavor to stop the dissemination of principles evidently destructive of the cause for which they have bled. It must be the combined virtue of the rulers and of the people to do this, and to rescue and save their civil and religious rights from the outstretched arm of tyranny, which may appear under any mode or form of government.”

Mercy Warren, History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution, 1805

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.”
 
Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833

Bammy is and always has been a lazy stoner.

That's all you're really seeing here...

just a few years ago I would shrug off that list. I see now they have most of the list fulfilled.

aligncare wonders above:
[[ Is the electorate stupid, or just shallow and gullible?
Is the public any longer even capable of political discernment?
How does someone as undistinguished as Obama get into the position to run and win the presidency?
This one infuriates me: Is political correctness a societal suicide pact? ]]


All your questions answer themselves.
