The Biden administration’s decision to publish the intelligence report on Jamal Khashoggi’s death in late 2018 was as predictable as it was destructive to U.S. national security and to the security and stability of the Middle East.
It was predictable for two reasons. First, this is Obama’s third term. And in Obama’s first term he played a central role in overthrowing Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the anchor of the U.S.’s alliance system in the Sunni Arab world in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, the ideological anchor of every Sunni terror group in the world.
Obama’s consistent policy for eight years was to side with the jihadists. Obama’s anti-colonialist worldview bred his anti-Western sensibilities. He and his neo-Marxist advisors viewed the jihadists as the “authentic” voice of the Islamic world. They were favored because they were “revolutionary” and anti-Western. In every conflict that pitted either conservative Sunni leaders, Iranian anti-regime forces, or Israel against jihadists from Hamas to Hezbollah, to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Houthis, to Iran, Obama and his people supported the jihadists. For this reason, Obama admired both Turkish dictator Erdogan and the Qatari ruling family. Like him, they supported jihadists.
Say… what’s the over-under on the return of ISIS?
Unaware as most North Americans subject to the corrupted media, the ME remembers the most deceitful POTUS in US history and now with his de Facto third term now acting at record speed to return the Muslim Brotherhood to prominence. They are now wise to him with Russia and Iran and increasingly, Turkey in Obama’s camp. It won’t be easy but Trump’s ME is standing up to the attempted return of Obama’s.
Obama is going to get crushed.
Not sure why you say that; he’s a first class snake. Mind you, I hope you’re right.
President Trump is back in the Whitehouse.

His referral of beating them a 3rd time refers to the 2 Impeachments that he survived.
Here’s a happy dance song…

Don’t bring me down.
Not having heard the full context, I would guess he’s referring to the two elections that he won, the first one that put him in office and the second one that was stolen.
Having now heard it in context, I was correct.
I was pleasantly surprised that the nation Biden choose to bomb first wasn’t the US. Which is a terrible joke in light of the lives lost in Syria (I won’t say innocent because I just don’t know).
Does anyone not see this as the transparent ploy to show he’s a tough guy? Trump did it four years earlier. Bomb the angry folks in broken countryside, that’ll show’em.
Does the Pentagon have an a la carte menu? “Mr. President, while your predecessor favored the Tomahawk, today is seniors day at Raytheon, we get a 15% discount on replacement GBU-51s.”
“Oh no, Afghanistan is too far away. Might I suggest a target in the middle East, perhaps those guys in a shack with the sign that says Al Kada’s death-to-America Toyota Land cruiser repair, the best damn bullet hole repairs this side of Mosul. We take Disvover card, no Islamic State questions asked”.
“There you go sir, nicely done, let me wipe up that drool for you.”
That Ms. Glick compares the airing of the sordid Khashoggi affair to the Passion Play is an affront.
Dual citizen Neo-cons got their man elected. Cuz the Donald wanted to bring the troops home vs blowup another country for Israel?
Glick is fast and furious in the story telling. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was taken down good & hard during Obamas tenure.

Mubarak fell as a result of Bush initiated pro-democracy colour revolutions. Should Mubarak have tortured more, murdered more & shot down more protesters in the streets to appease the dual citizens?
” I’m not saying his [Khashoggi’s]murder was justified. I am saying he doesn’t deserve the tears of anyone who opposes jihadist terror and jihadist regimes, cares about human rights or wants to avoid a major war in the Middle East.”
Not all humans are created equal in the eyes of Ms. Glick. Certainly not Egyptians.
The biggest supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and pan-Islamism on the planet is a full fledged NATO member. But since they are doing Israels bidding in Syria, crickets from Ms. Glick
One person’s jihadist is the next persons freedom fighter as we have seen in Syria,and the USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are not beyond using jihadis as freedom fighters to bring democracy of Syria or threaten Russia.
The dual citizens aren’t beyond murdering Americans to provoke a war with their enemies. Remember the USS Liberty.
FACT: ” Name the conservative movement’s most passionate Trump opponents, and you’ll notice that Jews — Bill Kristol, David Brooks, David Frum, Robert Kagan, Jonah Goldberg, Max Boot, Bret Stephens, Dan Senor, Jennifer Rubin — are heavily overrepresented.” http://www.haaretz.com
FACT: the guy who was the most help to Trump in fashioning the Abraham Accords is a Jew.
Your Israel (it is just Joos?) hatred oozes off of you. Just Saying. Nobody likes terrorists, Sunni or Shia, except terrorists.
Back in the real world. This is a dangerous development. As seen above, hatred fuels opposition to any peace with Israel.
If John Gill Joemala isolates SA over this, they will indeed enable terrorists of both Islamist sects, an obvious conclusion.
just sayin….hahahahahahahahahahaha..yer phunny girl!
Are the Liberals going to abandon Saudi oil in favour of Canadian oil now?
Kashoggi was always an enemy agent. Bezos should be jailed for inserting him at his propaganda sheet.
From my various readings, Kashoggi was a “nasty little man” who deserved to die. I think it is too rich for words that it was the Saudi government who took him out.
Anti-colonialism my auntie.
Obama’s Middle East policy was inspired by the gutter anti-Semitism of the Chicago ghetto trash who thrust him into office. Like all pieces of “diverse” human filth not worthy to loosen the sandal of the least of the Jewish people, black Americans loathe the Chosen People of God.
The way the Negroes understand it, every enemy of the Jew is a friend of the black man. That’s why so many converted to Islam, and why they happily make common cause with jihadis from Doha to Dearbornistan.
Glick shouldn’t have been coy. Khashoggi was not murdered. He was executed for treason, and deserved to be. If President Trump had treated American traitors likewise, he would still be in the White House today.
Just Saying – your ‘arguments’ are primarily ad hominem comments and straw men sidesteps.
To declare that ‘dual citizens and neocons’ are the key definitions of Trump supporters is sophistry. That’s because these descriptions can’t be shown as real, much less viable as definitions of anyone’s actions.
Equally, to declare that some people who are against Trump’s policies are Jews is equally false and irrelevant. That’s because you can’t show us that their ‘Jewishness’ is the reason for their decision and you haven’t shown us the identity of others [non-Jews] who oppose Trump.
What is of interest is Ms Glick’s analysis of these Biden policies. Biden has never had any policies of his own – check out his years in the Senate – and certainly, didn’t promote these actions in the ‘campaign’ or ‘debates’.
Plus, these are all similar to the Obama policies, which were clearly anti-Israel, pro-Iran [which is the key supporter of jihadism in the region] and destabilizing. The Abraham Accords is, in my view, an incredible achievement, in that it works from the ‘periphery’ inward [which is how all innovation movements operate], it realized that attempting to persuade the Palestinians to remove a basic belief of What It Means To Be Palestinian, which is to be: anti-Israel, is useless. So, the Accord went to the periphery – to the surrounding Arab States, which are uninterested in Palestine anyway, and focused on their economic and social growth, and how to enable this in this area. That meant – opening up trade and interactions with ALL ME nations, which includes, Israel. And of course, this Accord strengthened the security of these Arab nations against the imperialist agenda of Iran – which is not Arab but Persian – and a strong supporter of jihadism.
The Biden/Obama administration will attempt to undo this new Accord – remember, Obama hates Israel and the West – but, I think that the Arab states will reject his third term’s attempt to harm them.
ET, both Bin Biden and Obama, were zero sum policy fools when they entered office the first time. O’Butthole voted “present” about a 100 times as a senator. Leaving people with little to assess what he stood for, and I think that was preplaned by his “handlers” , who were/are Jewish.
I heartily agree the Palestinians are pawns whom nobody ever cared about, pawns languishing in their “refugee camps.”
It was easy to overcome the ridiculous condition the genocidal PA be given a de-facto veto over ME peace; to not Kerry on.
Now this US administration has chosen to make the US energy reliant so possibly having to rely on a ME they’ve destabilized.
Chalk up another to this moribund bunch who’s chief aim, besides gathering power and wealth, is reversing Trump’s legacy.
Good or bad, it makes no difference. They don’t care (yes, charitable) about the price or the ME fuse they’re trying to light.
This is the real deal, not simply of political debates, with real consequences to the Biden handlers’ incompetent brinkmanship.
Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed Bin Salman (MBS) and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) from the UAE were big problems for Obama, Robert Malley and their ilk. They appeared out of nowhere.
And an even bigger problem for HER and HER ilk … as MBS was no longer shoveling $ hundreds of millions to the Clinton Foundation and Allies. Marxist politics aside … the American Leftists want access to the “Evil Saudi” $money again.
And let’s not forget it was Jimmy Carter who started the policy of supporting jihadists as if they were the “true voice” of the Muslim Middle East. Never underestimate the damage a “good Christian man” can do to Christianity … Western Culture … and the lives of millions. The most tragic shock and awe ever deployed in the ME … was deployed by Jimmy Carter.
Kashoggi worked against one Saudi faction and got whacked for it. Journalist? He went to the Saudi embassy in Turkey to get some documents approving his wedding. You kidding me? It couldn’t be faxed or mailed? He went there to meet co-conspirators and fell into trap. The nice thing about this business is that you don’t have to tke sides. All involved are snakes and schemers, including the press.
I suspect Valerie Jarrett called the shots on the Middle East, if not everything else.
Chandler – I think that Jarrett is heavily involved, particularly with the agenda of empowering Iran. But don’t ignore Obama’s deep seated hatred of Israel [and the UK].
We need another “Arab Spring” I’m sure ET is fully on board again!
