Thread: The US is now officially irrelevant on the world stage.

Egypt and the UAE bombed Libya without bothering to inform Obama Written by Allen West on August 27, 2014

Once upon a time the global standing of the United States was respected, regarded and was credible. Of course, Barack Hussein Obama said he would restore America’s reputation and felt the George W. Bush administration had severely damaged our position. What Obama really meant was having more countries “like” America, as if our nation were a Facebook page — which amounts to nothing in a world of despots, dictators, theocrats and autocrats. Furthermore, it means your allies become confused and your enemies become emboldened — your trustworthiness plummets as your word means nothing.

And so against that backdrop we learn Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) took action against Islamist forces in Libya and thought nothing of informing the United States.


As reported by The Guardian in the UK, http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...ibyan-militias

“US officials claim the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were behind several air strikes on Islamist militias in Libya last week, in what would be an escalation of a regional power-play between Islamists and opposing governments across the Middle East. UAE pilots flying out of Egyptian airbases allegedly twice targeted Islamist fighters vying for control of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, last week, US officials claimed to the New York Times and later to the AFP news agency. Speaking to the Guardian, a US official confirmed the reports were plausible. The air strikes failed to stop Islamist militias from capturing Tripoli later in the week and announcing a new breakaway regime, forcing Libya’s elected government to flee to the eastern city of Tobruk.”

The Guardian reports, “The contested strikes came in two waves. The first arrived on 17 August and hit more than a dozen targets in Tripoli held by Operation Dawn, a coalition of Islamist militias and their allies from the city of Misrata battling against nationalists for control of the city. The precision of the attacks immediately triggered speculation that foreign jets were involved, prompting denials from France, Italy and Nato. A second wave hit in the early hours of 23 August, killing 17 Misratans and hitting ammunition dumps and the interior ministry building, captured by the Misratans the day before.”

And just who was it who destabilized Libya and handed it over to Islamists? Yep, you guessed it, Barack Hussein Obama — hence why I have referred to him as an Islamist sympathizer. http://allenbwest.com/2014/08/six-si...islamist-cause It was Obama who went into Libya and armed Islamist militias and provided them U.S. air support — and now look at the results. The 2012 attack on the Benghazi Special Mission Compound (SMC) and the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Ty Woods, and Glenn Doherty. We just abandoned the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli as a result of increasing advances of the Islamist militias Obama armed and supported. And the same group that attacked the SMC, the al-Qaida offshoot — I guess another JV team — Ansar al-Sharia, has claimed an Islamic caliphate in eastern Libya centered in Benghazi.

So now you have Egypt, Libya’s neighbor, taking action itself along with the UAE — and remember, as we reported, this same Egyptian government was shunned by the Obama administration because it overthrew the Obama-supported Muslim Brotherhood government. And it was Obama, who in 2009, ordered Muslim Brotherhood members be seated front and center for his Cairo University speech.

As the Guardian says, “Egypt’s military ousted the Muslim Brotherhood – an Islamist group – and has since been cracking down internally on its activities, a tactic pursued for years in the UAE. Now if indeed Egypt and the UAE have joined to conduct airstrikes in Libya, it means both countries now want to expand the campaign beyond their borders, seeking to curb the rise of brotherhood-affiliated militias threatening to take over Libya. The move could turn Libya into a proxy war between the country’s elected government, backed by UAE and Egypt, and Islamists backed by Qatar, another Gulf state.”

And surprise, surprise — who has been embracing and supporting Qatar? Why, the Obama administration, of course. It’s no secret Qatar has been and continues to be the major bankroller for Islamists in the Middle East — including ISIS. Don’t forget Obama released five senior Taliban leaders to Qatar, and Obama dispatched John Kerry to negotiate with Turkey and Qatar for a Hamas ceasefire. And where does the leader of Hamas reside? Yep, Doha, Qatar.

So what message does Obama send to Egypt and the UAE? That the U.S. supports Islamists and cannot be trusted — hence why they did not advise the Obama administration of their intent and strikes. I say again, Egypt and the UAE does not trust the Obama administration.

As the Guardian says, “the UAE is home to Libya’s foremost nationalist politician, Mahmoud Jibril, while its rival Qatar hosts Ali Salabi, arguably Libya’s most influential Islamist and a backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. From their respective exiles, Jibril and Salabi have directed an Islamist-nationalist rivalry that has been at the heart of Libya’s politics since the death of Gaddafi in October 2011. Salabi’s Qatari allies trained the Islamist February 17 militia which is now battling nationalist forces in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.”

And who was it that the Obama administration contracted out to guard the Benghazi SMC? Yep, the February 17 militia, which we reported here. http://allenbwest.com/2014/07/goes-n...mbassy-months/

Folks, this is all the honest truth. Obama can shovel all the bovine excrement speeches he wants – like the one he just dumped on the American Legion. But the facts are clear, we have a treasonous individual residing in the White House who is enabling the Islamist movement in the Middle East. Egypt and the UAE clearly realize that. The question is, when will we?

British Embassy Celebrates 200 Year Anniversary of White House Burning

August 26, 2014 By TPNN Staff

On Aug. 24, 1814, During the War of 1812, British troops set the White House on fire. It was the only time in history that the U.S. Capitol building was captured by a foreign foe.



On their Twitter feed @UKinUSA, British diplomats in Washington tweeted a picture of a burning White House on Sunday, depicting the event, saying they were, “Commemorating the 200th anniversary of burning the White House. Only sparklers this time!”



Hours later, the British embassy tweeted an apology, writing, “Apologies for earlier Tweet. We meant to mark an event in history & celebrate our strong friendship today.”

According to the U.K. Mail Online, the British Embassy held a “White House barbecue” to mark the 200th anniversary of Britain capturing the U.S. Capitol and setting fire to the White House.

Report: Islamist Terrorists Overtake U.S. Embassy in Libya; Pool Party Ensues
August 31, 2014 By Matthew Burke

Obama campaigned hard in the 2012 presidential election that terrorism was “on the run” around the world.

It was a lie to the American people to get re-elected, political greed, pure and unadulterated.

Fast forward to June of 2014, and Obama, the progressive panacea to all woes, announced with a straight face that “the world is less violent than it has ever been.” http://www.tpnn.com/2014/08/31/repor...%20Been’

It was another bald-faced lie, so confidently spoken that many have begun to wonder, along with Obama’s other multiple emotionless, robotic, uncaring reactions to U.S. tragedy, if he’s a pathological liar and a certifiable sociopath. Any casual observer with even a degree of honesty would ponder that possibility.

While Obama has been pursuing our nation’s enemies on the most lavish golf courses in America, in a manner resembling O.J. Simpson seeking out the real murderer of his murdered wife Nicole, his Muslim Brotherhood allied friends have been wrecking havoc around the world, including the tragic and barbaric recent beheading of American journalist James Foley.

In a new report Sunday morning by the International Business Times http://www.ibtimes.com/rebels-libya-...ripoli-1674656 we learn that Islamist terrorists have taken over the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli Libya, “breaking into its buildings and swimming in its pools” of the combine, performing swan dives from the balconly while other terrorists loudly cheered them on. http://www.ibtimes.com/rebels-libya-...ripoli-1674656

(Update: The video has been removed from YouTube as of 4:02 PM ET).

Libyan rebels fighting for Operation Dawn, a coalition of Islamist and Misrata forces, stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli Sunday, breaking into its buildings and swimming in its pools, as shown in a video on YouTube.

The Associated Press (AP) also reported Sunday that the Islamist group may have actually been in control of the embassy since last week.

The Obama regime closed the embassy in June and evacuated its staff due to escalating terrorism in the area.

On September 11, 2012, Islamist terrorists stormed Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans were left to die by the Obama regime, even after repeated requests for additional security by murdered former U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, a close friend of then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

They’re jihadists gone wild!

Hootin’ and hollerin’ Islamic militants partied like it was spring break in Cancun on Sunday after invading a US Embassy annex in Libya. The terrorist hooligans transformed the US digs into a Mideast version of “Animal House” — raucously cheering each other on as they took turns diving off a balcony into a swimming pool.

Video posted online showed the thugs making their best attempts at Olympic-style high dives, but most ended up in clumsy face-plants.

The men belong to the Islamist terror group known as Dawn of Libya, which seized control of the country’s capital of Tripoli last week. The militia group stormed the embassy the day after taking the capital.



Modal Trigger

American personnel had been evacuated from the site July 26 amid fears of an imminent attack as violence escalated.

US Ambassador to Libya Safira Deborah, who fled the country along with her staff last month and has been staying in Malta, tweeted that the militants’ poolside bash appeared to have occurred in the residential area. “But cannot say definitely since not there,’’ she said.

The ambassador insisted in another tweet that “to my knowledge & per recent photos the US Embassy Tripoli chancery & compound is now being safeguarded and has not yet been ransacked.”

A journalist with The Associated Press gained access to the Islamist party house Sunday and said windows had been smashed, but nearly everything else — including treadmills, TVs and computers — were still intact and in good shape.

The militia associated with the Dawn of Libya is not tied to the notorious Ansar al-Shariah group, which is responsible for the deadly attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi — the country’s second-largest city — on Sept. 11, 2012, authorities said.

Then-US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in that attack.

Wow, those Libyan Islamists are party animals! Here they are having a pool party at the US embassy:

A new assessment suggests the ISIS terrorist group is much larger than U.S. thought.
Friday, September 12, 2014 - 8:02am

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — A new assessment is suggesting the terrorist group ISIS is much larger than the U.S. previously thought.

The CIA now estimates ISIS has between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters. That's double or triple their estimate earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Great Britain, Germany and Italy say they won't help with airstrikes targeting the militant army.

Still, key Republicans are backing President Obama's plan.

After This Tweet, Does Obama Still Expect Us To Think the World Respects Him?
August 3, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Barack Obama sad Barack Obama would love for you to believe that the world both fears and respects us more under his presidency. But, like most other things that he says and promises, the facts of the situation prove that the reality he is trying to sell is a lie.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin tweeted a major slam to Obama making not just him, but the United States a laughingstock.

Dmitry Rogozin @DRogozin
