Obama’s Policies Hardening Allies Against U.S.

‘Only if you’re tough with America’ will the White House pay you


NEW YORK — The governments of Egypt and Jordan are considering hardening their positions against the U.S., believing the Obama administration awards concessions to anti-Western regimes, according to Middle East officials.

A Jordanian intelligence official told WND in a telephone interview his country and Egypt have been dismayed at the lengths to which the Obama administration has gone to “appease” Syria and to engage Iran and Turkey.


Effing priceless. "The Mouse That Roared" dons a keffiyeh.

What is it with Liberals, Magical Thinking and the Law of Unintended Consequences? Why don't they just take to wearing a "Kick Me" sign and have done with it?

Obama oil game play to undermine the alliance between the UK and US, destroy BP and deep sea oil exploration making the US more reliant on muslim oil.

This was an industrial accident the result of incompetence and short term gain, NOT a BRITISH Petroleum terrorist attack comparable with 9/11 as Obama has claimed.

Some political commentators in the UK have said Obama hates the Brits because his grandfather was allegedly beaten up by British troops in Kenya.

Obama's attempt to even remotely compare this oil spill with the 9-11 atrocity is so repugnant as to defy imagination. Equating the slaughter of almost 3,000 PEOPLE with this industrial accident simply reeks of an attempt to relegate the WTC attacks into the newspeak category of "man made disasters".

Whoever coined the ultimately misleading and supremely offensive term "man made disaster" as a substitute for "terrorist attack" deserves to be dragged through thumbtacks and then dipped in rubbing alcohol.
