Obama to 'Gulf States': Biggest Threat is from inside own Countries, not Iran
2015-04-07
Making friends and influencing people in that inimitable Barack Obama way. Because everybody just loves being lectured by Mr. Holier-Than-Thou -- especially when he's so obviously wrong.
[ALMANAR.LB] The Gulf states face a greater threat from within their own countries than from outside forces such as Iran or ISIL (acronym of the so-called 'Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

group), US President Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
has said in an interview explaining the nuclear deal struck with Iran last week.

Speaking to the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, Obama insisted the US was committed to GCC security but "a tough conversation" needed to be had with Gulf leaders over their internal issues.

The Arab states faced more pressing threats such as "populations that, in some cases, are alienated, youth that are underemployed, an ideology that is destructive and nihilistic, and in some cases, just a belief that there are no legitimate political outlets for grievances," Obama said.

"... I think the biggest threats that they face may not be coming from Iran invading. It's going to be from dissatisfaction inside their own countries. ... That's a tough conversation to have, but it's one that we have to have," he added.

Obama also said he would tell Gulf states they needed to be more active in addressing regional crises.

"I think when you look at what happens in Syria, for example, there's been a great desire for the United States to get in there and do something," he said during the interview published on Sunday.

"But the question is: Why is it that we can't have Arabs fighting the terrible human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
abuses that have been perpetrated, or fighting against what Assad has done?" he added, referring to Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.

#13   ValJar is the most dangerous voice speaking into DumShits ear these days. She is unquestionably an Iranian agent/sympathizer and at the source for a range of foreign policy catastrophes. But now her grip on Champ is actually endangering the stability of a critical part or the world. How can people not see the disaster in the making as we cede the Middle East to these vipers (Iran). God help the Republic.

#7  Practicing for his campaign to takeover the UN?

The arrogance is monumental. This thing actually seems to believe that he knows everything about everything. He has to show everyone the error of their ways, I'm surprised he hasn't taken credit for fixing Tiger's golf game.
