In Arab Spring, Obama Finds a Sharp Test
2012-09-26
Posted by:tipper

#8  Compare wid DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > AL-QAEDA, NOT INDIA, PREPARING TO DESTROY PAKISTAN.

ARTIC = the various "ARAB SPRING(S)" HAVE ALLOWED AL-QAEDA = RADICAL ISLAM TO "PROMOTE ITS FLAG" + AGENDUM, + ESTABLISH ITSELF IN NATION-STATES WHERE IT WASN'T BEFORE.

versus

* BHARAT RAKSHHAK > REPORT: US-NATO TROOPS ADOPT "[Safe] BUNKER METALITY" IN ANTICIPATION OF 2014 | TALIBAN: DECLINE IN MILITANT ATTACKS DUE TO NATO TROOP WITHDRAWALS AND UNWILLINGNESS TO FIGHT.

1970'S Nixonian "Vietnamization/De-Americanization" of Indo-China war in SE Asia = 2012/2014 "Afghanization" under POTUS Bammer in the GWOT.

BR BLOGGER-POSTER = opined that IHO the pro-Militant Pak Army + Taliban, AQ, etc. have WON THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN - PAKISTAN PER SE NOW UNDERGOING A PROCESS OF TALIBAN-LED
"PURIFICATION" IN PREPARAT FOR FUTURE PAK SHARIA STATE.

NUKULAR ISLAMIC/SHARIA ANTI-US, WESTERN STATE, that is???

* SAME > WHY THE BENGHAZI CONSULATE ATTACK WILL BLIND THE US?

Newfound, post-attack, possible "zero tolerance" on the part of the US Govt = WH + DepState to NOT put any and all US Diplomats under ANY KIND OF SECURITY RISK, BENIGN OR OTHER. POSSIBLE US HYPER-SECURITY IN WAKE OF BENGAHZI + RELATED EMBASSY/CONSULATE ATTACKS MAY END UP ONLY "BLINDING" US INTEL AS TO THE TRUE NATURE OF LOCAL OR REGIONAL SITUATIONS.

IOW, INTEL FAILURES = DIPLOMATIC, HENCE ALSO FOREIGN POLICY, FAILURES.

ARTIC > E.G. POST-MUBARAK MURSI-LED EGYPT . SOURCE > Author alleges that MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS PURGING THE EGYPTIAN MILITARY OF PRO-AMERICAN OFFICERS. SOURCE CLAIMS THAT UP TO 4000 PRO-US EGYPTIAN OFFICERS HAVE BEEN TERMINATED OR RELEASED FROM THE EGYPTIAN ARMY???

#7  Mr. Obama felt keenly, one aide said, the need for the United States, and for he himself, to stand as a moral example.

Yeah maybe in some screwed up parallel universe.

#6  A "Sharp Test" (whatever that is) perhaps, for a man who wakes up each morning thing about himself.
