OBAMA – WHO LOST THE MIDDLE EAST?

                                        by Hugh Murray
           During the Cold War, Republicans asked a question of the Democrats: "Who lost China?"  During the civil war in China between the Communists under Mao and the Nationalists under Chiang, the Nationalists seemed to have the main advantage.  Of course, in the 1930s and early 40s, the Japanese expanded their domination of China.  Beginning in 1931 when the Japanese created a puppet state for the last emperor of China Pu Yi, the last Manchu emperor would be the official leader of several northeastern provinces, near Korea, and called Manchukuo. In the late 30's, the Japanese invaded other coastal areas of China, and took the northern capital of Beijing, and the southern one too, Nanking.  The "rape" of Nanking, where Japanese soldiers had a free hand to impose terror on the city, is still remembered as a horror.

          After the defeat of Nazi Germany, the US wanted the Soviets to enter the war against Japan.  Stalin promised to do so, and he kept his promise.  Between the dropping of Atomic bombs on two Japanese cities and the entrance of the Soviets into the war, Japan sued for peace.  It is possible that Communist influence in the Roosevelt Administration was responsible for granting certain Japanese islands to the Soviets as part of the peace.  The Soviets also got to occupy northern Korea, and much of Manchukuo.  The Soviets then helped Mao and his Communist rebels against the officially recognized Chinese government of Chiang.  In the US, Communists and Popular Fronters did not want to aid Chiang.  They delayed, obstructed, prevented aid from reaching Chiang and his Nationalist forces.  Many of the State Dept.'s China experts were sympathetic to Mao and the Communists.  By the time Truman decided to push for aid to Chiang, it was too late.  In 1949 Mao spoke from Beijing to proclaim the People's Republic of China.  Chiang's forces fled to the island of Taiwan.

          Republicans were angry and alarmed.  They asked, "Who lost China?"  They suspected it was because of Communists in the Roosevelt-Truman Administration.  Of course, the Chinese had fought their civil war, and China was not a property of the US to lose.  However, China had been an ally of the US.  And the failure of the US to provide financial and military aid to Chiang, while Mao was receiving aid from the Soviets - may well have contributed to the victory of Mao and the Communists.

            Before President Obama, Egypt was an ally, maintaining peaceful relations even with its neighbor Israel.  Obama supported the Arab Spring, with the masses of demonstrators who rallied in a Cairo Square, and in demonstrations in other Arab nations.  Obama and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton cheered the rebels, hailing a new era of democracy.  Yet, even in the early days of cheering, there were ominous signs.  Beautiful CBS reporter Lara Lang was physically, and sexually, attacked amidst the mob of celebrants in Tahrir Square in Cairo.  Anti-Mubarik signs often showed a star of David across his face.  While the Western media assured Americans the rebellion was the result of Facebook, the new social media, and Western minded liberals, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), was working in the background.

            Significantly, one of the chief advisors to Sec. Hillary Clinton has several relatives connected to the MB.  Yet, when Republican Michele Bachmann warned of this influence on Clinton, the liberal media in the US sneered at Bachmann - as the media would laugh, when as a guest on a TV program on NBC, she was introduced to the music of "Lying Bitch."

            I am not saying Obama-Clinton began the Arab revolts.  I am saying they cheered them on, gave them support, did not criticize.  And the result: in Egypt Christian churches are burned.  Some Christians have been killed, and at least one crucified about a week ago.  Had Obama been listening, he would have known some in the MB, in rallies in Tahrir Square called for the extermination of Israel and of all the Jews.  He would have realized that the MB and its allies might win Parliament (they won 67%), and they might win the Egyptian Presidency - Morsi did.  Egypt has moved from an ally under Bush, to a "neutral," in Obama's own words of September 12, 2012.  Meanwhile, Obama gives over a billion dollars in aid to the new Egypt!

 MB and fanatical Muslim influence has spread, as has anti-American demonstrations - Egypt, Tunis, Libya, Yemen, and more to come.  Under Bush, many of these nations were allies of the US, or covert allies.  Under Obama, they are preparing to join the enemies of the US.

It was fair to ask of Truman, "Who lost China?"  It is even more appropriate to ask of Obama: Who lost Egypt?  Who lost Tunis?  Who lost Libya?  Who lost...

Below are some of my responses to news event of 9/11/12.

Ambassador Chris Stevens killed in Libya: Is Arab Spring turning against US?

The flare-up of anti-US violence in which Ambassador Chris Stephens was killed in Libya shows how the Arab Spring has unleashed forces in the region that are vehemently opposed to America and its ideals.

When Republican Michele Bachmann charged that friends of the Muslim Brotherhood were in Hillary Clinton's entourage, the liberal sneered. The Obama/H.Clinton crowd cheerled the Arab Spring. We got a glimpse of it in the early days when CBS correspondent Lara Logan was physically and sexually attacked in the Cairo square amidst "revolutionary" celebrations. Since then, The Muslim Brotherhood has come to power, in Parliament and with the new President of Egypt. Some in his movement call for the extermination of Israel and of all Jews. They also burn churches, kill Christians, and last week, even crucified some Christians. Freedom!? Democracy!? Hillary must have been listening to her Muslim Brotherhood advisor. Obama no longer listens to Rev. Wright's sermons of "God Damn America.;" no, now he hears from his new friends, "Allah damn America."
Let us hope Americans wake up and oust the anti-American Obama-Hillary crowd in the November elections.

Romney under friendly fire for his response to embassy attack in Libya

Romney said what should have been said. What should not have been said is what came out of the embassy in Egypt, the appeasers of Muslim fanaticism. Hillary echoes the craven attacks of free speech because it offend Muslims. Offend them. Barack Hussein Obama acts as if he were a Muslim. He and Hillary gave us the tyranny called the Arab Spring. Michele Bachmann already challenged Hillary's Muslim Brotherhood-connected advisor. Obama plans to five Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt over a billion dollars. Yet their mobs attack American territory on 9/11; they burn churches, kill Christians, and last week even crucified at least one. They also call for the extermination of Israel and Jews. Such is the "freedom" spawned by Obama's Administration.
Romney takes a swift, strong stand for freedom, and the appeasement media criticizes him. The media supports Obama. I hope the America people in November will support freedom and the Republicans in November 2012.

Blasting Obama on Libya and Egypt, Romney accused of opportunism

The pro-Muslim Brotherhood crowd accuses Romney of opportunism when he criticizes the Obama Administration on the Middle East. Obama and Hillary should be denounced for appeasement. Not only did they help stir up the Muslim Brotherhood to take power in Egypt in the "Arab Spring," but they encouraged the hate movement. One of Hillary's main advisors is connected to the MB, as made public by the heroic Michele Bachmann. Obama's policies have left much of the Middle East in the hands of Muslim fanatics - indeed, when they assaulted the Am. Embassy in Cairo, they shouted, "We are all Osama's now." The Obama Admin. killed one Osama, and his appeasement policies have given the world a million more Osamas. And some killed Americans on 9/11/12 in Libya.
Romney stands up for American freedom. Unlike the appeasement brigade of Obama, Romney will not grant the MB Egypt over a billion dollars. The MB demands the extermination of Israel and Jews; in Egypt in burns churches, kills Christians, and last week crucified one.
America needs more films exposing Islam.
And we should vote against Barack Hussein Obama.
