Is this World War III?
2013-08-05
From TFA:
For some time, the power-struggles of the listed nations have been largely characterized as civil wars among various Muslim factions, including the Muslim Brotherhood. But civil wars are confined within national boundaries. Once the boundary lines have bled into one another, as is presently the case with Syria, the wars become a generalized struggle, with various factions joining with the likeminded of surrounding nations. As World Wars I and II demonstrated, when war escapes national boundaries or aggressive entities invade other national boundaries, nations with a vested interest in maintaining or extending their power bases begin to team up with one another according to ideological empathies. The fighting then spreads as more and more nations get sucked into a black hole of conflict.

#7  Welcome to "Globalism" + OWG "Co-Superpowers", where the USA must PDeniably unilaterally give China roughly 1/2 of the Pacific, + a Global Islamic Nuclear Superpower {Shia? Sunni? centric] must dominate the ME + Muslim World.

The Hard Boyz are militarily or violently fighting, among other, for nonb-traditional, extra-Islamic areas of influence - CHINA HASN"T DITTO EVEN STARTED YET VEE JAPAN, ETAL. IN EAST-SOUTH ASIA + WESTPAC, BUT ITS COMING.

THe Clock is ticking ... Its NOT going to matter iff the US has the world's most pwerful military iff the Bammer or other anti-US Marxist-Anarchist-Globalists CAN'T OR WON'T USE IT IN DEFENSE OF US INTERESTS + OVERSEAS ALLIES.

#6  I'm not sure closing an embassy is such a sign of weekness. I'd be tempted to permenantly close a few of the embassies in the middle east. What do we have to say that can't be said to their ambassador in Washington? Certainly shouldn't be giving out Visa's to some of these countries and we should be telling Americans travelling their they are on their own.

#3  the closing of U.S. embassies in 21 countries is a sign of weakness on the part of the U.S. and suggests capitulation to al-Qaeda.

All part of the program. I think his handlers will take care of getting ridding of him at the proper time. Imagine what a martyr he'll make.

And, they'll blame the right.

WE MUST be rid of Obama, and the damage he's caused.
