Taqiyya in a Time of War

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

NoisyRoom.net By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton And now, for the main course… war with Iran and a full-fledge embrace of WW III. Let me ask you this… does the US do Israel any good if she cripples herself and ensures her defeat? Iran should have been dealt with years ago. They are an existential threat to us […]

Obama waives Ban On Arming Terrorists To Help Syrian Rebels

Posted on by John Hawkins

We’ve gone from overthrowing nations that cooperate with Al-Qaeda under Bush to helping Al-Qaeda take over a nation under Obama. President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to “vetted” opposition groups fighting Syrian […]

 

Christian Village In Syria That Was Attacked By the Rebels Begs America Not To Bomb Syria

Posted on by John Hawkins

Is the United States of America really going to help Al-Qaeda take over Syria, even if it means dooming Christians to death? Here’s what they said in a letter they sent to Congress. “First, let us tell you what has happened today in Ma’loula and then explain what Ma’loula is like,” the letter said. “At […]

 

Obama Makes Impassioned Plea For Doing Something In Syria Despite No Direct U.S. Security Threat

Posted on by William Teach

I was eminently impressed that the speech actually started on time. I was unimpressed that he decided to make his plea from the same spot in which Joe Biden proclaimed that passing Obamacare was a “big f’ing deal“. Trotting down the red carpet to discuss potential military action and a serious international issue just doesn’t […]

 

Support For Syrian Strikes Dropping Fast

Posted on by William Teach

One really has to wonder what the strategy from Team Obama is. They’ve sent UN Ambassador Samantha Power to talk to…the ultra far left Center For American Progress. They’re sending, outrageously, Susan “It’s The Video” Rice to Capital Hill to argue for strikes on September 11th. Sec Of State Kerry makes comments like Syria facing […]

 

Syrian Rebels To Christians: Convert to Islam Or Die!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Assad may be a bad guy who used chemical weapons, but the rebels in Syria are even worse. The village of Maaloula has been taken over by Syrian rebels associated with al Qaeda, who have stormed the Christian center and offered local Christians a choice: conversion or death. A resident of the town said the […]

 

Experience Counts

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

Finally, the global community knows that the leader of the World’s Largest Superpower is a statesman who can take control on the international stage and get things done while other, lesser leaders are left floundering around trying to either turn their gaffes into global policy, or trying to keep their gaffes from becoming global policy.:  […]

 

Politico Really Concerned That The GOP Isn’t In Favor Of Bombing Syria

Posted on by William Teach

In fact, they think we’ve become downright Doveish Hawkish GOP taking dovish stance on Syria Of all the unexpected turns in the Syria debate, one stands out most: The GOP, the party of a muscular national defense, has gone the way of the dove. A decade after leading the country into Iraq and Afghanistan, Republicans […]

 

Republican Congressman Goes After John Kerry Hard On Benghazi During Syria Hearing

Posted on by John Hawkins

Obama and his administration can’t give any kind of coherent explanation of what went wrong at Benghazi, but they tell us that they know definitively that their as-of-yet unrevealed strategy in Syria will work. John Boehner and Eric Cantor may have already buckled at the knees, but Republican Congressman Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) wants a few […]

 

Members of Armed Forces Not Enthused About Fighting for Al Qaeda

Posted on by Dave Blount

Firm opposition both at home and abroad to his plans to bomb Syria on behalf of radical Islamists affiliated with al Qaeda has forced the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in Chief to back down at least to the point of trying to get cover from Congress. Hopefully congressional backing will not extend beyond his Senate […]

 

US Soon to Go to War With Syria Over Previously Nonexistent WMDs

Posted on by Dave Blount

It looks like our Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in Chief is now going to turn the US military on Syria, in hopes of dislodging the government, which would then be replaced by Islamist radicals affiliated with al Qaeda. The pretext is Bashar Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons. Where do you suppose he got them? […]

There is no "good side" in Syria. Both sides in Syria are evil, anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) July 1, 2013 There are no “good guys” in Syria.

Libya Deja Vu: Arming Syrian Rebels Likely to Usher in al Qaeda

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Syria has been at civil war for the past two years, raging between Sunni rebels and hardline President Bashar al-Assad’s: Shiite-controlled government. More than 70,000 Syrians have been killed since March 2011, with millions more displaced. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Democratic chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, offered legislation earlier this month to allow the […]

 

A hapless journey’s end

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

What happened in Boston last week was truly a tragedy. Two Muslim brothers detonated two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Unless you have been living in a cave or under a rock somewhere you already know what happened. The sad fact is the Obama Administration, The FBI, and the entire Intelligence […]

 

Is Syria Obama’s Biggest Bungle?

Posted on by William Teach

The Washington Post’s Jackson Diehl thinks so Mitt Romney and congressional Republicans are doing their best to portray the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya and its aftermath as a signal foreign policy disaster for Barack Obama. But my bet is that when historians look back on Obama’s mistakes in the last four years, […]

Shocking Similarities Concealed

Posted on by Michael Fell

In a televised address to parliament, President Bashar Assad said foreign-backed terrorists and extremists were to blame for the massacres going on in Syria. Despite suspicions expressed by the UN that Assad’s forces are responsible for the Houla massacre, Assad denied it. Syrian opposition condemned his comments as lies. Assad described protestors as paid killers, […]

 

Memory Hole: Vogue Scrubs Syrian Fawning Article of Syrian Dictator’s Wife

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Look nuthin’ up my sleeve, presto! In a typical exercise of Old Media “ethics,” with the flip of the proverbial switch, Vogue erased from the Internet tubes its embarrassing puff piece on the wife of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. In 2011, to much international derision, Vogue published The Rose of the Desert, a puff piece […]

Perhaps the most charming charm Great Satan has exhibited (aside from angling her body diplopolitaire’ to create other angles) is the killer cool heap of trashed out despots, dicts and autocrats she’s tossed on the junk heap since the new millennium broke unto us.
