Obama’s nod of approval for Defense Sec. Gates’ replacement of General David McKiernan with Gen Stanley McChrystal has greatly solidified my opinion on just what Obama seeks to accomplish and how he hopes to do it. On the surface it seems that his supporting of war against Islamists is a contradiction, but it’s not and it’s necessary to achieve his goals.
This changing of the guard in Afghanistan is a pointed effort to reverse the worsening state of the Afghan offensive against al Qaeda and the Taliban. It’s been my view that BHO wants to see an Islamic ascendancy and the extreme militant Islamists are a hindrance to the plan. Note that he’s achieved something that George Bush tried but failed to accomplish, which was getting the Pakistani government to go after the Taliban in earnest.
Al Qaeda and the Taliban and other violent, murderous Islamists only make Islam look steadily worse to the Western world. The New Caliphate will not be achieved by violent overthrow of our governments but only by the acceptance of the people. England is a good example of both how and how not to achieve the Caliphate and I think England has been a testing ground for the Saudis, in the learning process of what works and what does not.
The bombings had only a limited positive effect, in getting some politicians to appease Muslim violence, but an equally negative public opinion effect. Public demonstrations by Muslims in balaclavas and burkas, waving signs predicting doom and death to all us infidels, doesn’t work and only incites public feeling against the Muslims instead of the desired fear and willingness to capitulate.
Government immigration policies that let them swarm in, along with a continuous outpouring of blatantly false propaganda extolling the virtues of Muslims, does work. Getting cowards and sympathetic Leftards elected to high office also helps considerably. Also, erecting mosques by the thousands to constantly expose the populace to, and remind them of, the presence of Islam.
Obama needs to see al Qaeda and the Taliban quelled. He needs victory in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also needs to get Iran to come into line before Israel loses patience, slips the leash and blows Hell out of Iran. To this latter end, BHO has been applying more pressure and speaking to Israels leaders in harsher tones, but the Israelis aren’t stupid and they’ve elected a Conservative, Right-leaning president who isn’t going to let Obama buffalo him.
In fact, Pres. Netanyahu is right now actively seeking to create a coalition of Arab states to help stop Iran and Iran’s Hamas and Hezbollah arms, knowing that those Arab states have just as much reason to fear Iran as Israel does. This is a brilliant ploy, since it’s chances of success are about zero, given that no Arab Muslim state will align with Israel, yet Israel, once having bombed Iran, can say, “We tried” to Obama and Obama will be hard pressed to fault them.
Terror attacks on the West have no positive effect, just the opposite, in fact. Currently, 48% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Islam and the number is growing. The most interesting aspect of these findings is that initially, when these polls started about 7 years ago, people knew little or nothing about Islam, and as knowledge of the nature of it grew, so did the dislike. Education is a wonderful thing and it’s what BHO and the Left are trying to counter with propaganda.
The primary front of the battle for the Caliphate now is the manipulation of public opinion, and strange as this certainly does sound, in this the terrorists are our friends. As long as they continue to wreak their horrors on innocent people in the name of Allah, Mohammad, the Koran and Sharia Law, they improve the education of us Westerners and give us a real good look at the true nature of this horrible “religion of peace”.
Terrorist organizations, spawned and financed by Saudi Arabia, have proven to be a mistake. The idea, in abbreviated form, was to wreck Western economy and terrify the populace, who would then cravenly bow down and accept Islam out of fear. When George Bush took the 9/11 attack as an opportunity to grab Iraqs oil it was no doubt with the Saudi kings blessing and he must have been horrified when George screwed up the job so badly that the whole Western world and particularly the U.S.A. was exposed to years of nauseating Islamic behavior. When our people started coming home in body bags because of Muslims blowing themselves up in crowds, we really started paying attention to them and their “peaceful religion”.
Obama will do his best to get the various, and they are many, jihadists to stop the violence. If he can, he’ll be seen as a great man of peace. Right up until we find ourselves fighting for our lives.
It’s a funny thing. We all know the tale of the Anti-Christ, and he’s supposed to do exactly what Obama is about to try doing. So far he fits the description well. No, I’m not saying, I take all that prophecy stuff with a big grain of salt, but it is a funny coincidence. I mean, hey, you never know.
The primary front of the battle for the Caliphate now is the manipulation of public opinion, and strange as this certainly does sound, in this the terrorists are our friends.
Without spectacular terrorist attacks. people slumber and think that everything will turn out okay. And, yes, people choose to remain ignorant about Islam until they have to face the reality.
Is this checkmate (stealth jihad wins, terrorist jihad wins) for Western civilization?
