Obama White House Message On Syria Becomes Confused And Disoriented

This muddled, rambling and obviously confused stream of consciousness only serves to illustrate all too well that Obama really has no message, no coherent foreign policy to speak of.

RELATED AUDIO: The Coming End Times Nightmare With Obama’s War In Syria

Last week, Obama was threatening to blow Damascus off the map with cruise and tomahawk missiles. Today, John Kerry says that ‘military action is not the answer’, and that any attack would be ‘unbelievably small’. Well, which is it?

‘The United States of America – President Obama, myself and others – are in full agreement that the end of the conflict in Syria requires a political solution,’ he said during a joint press conference with Foreign Secretary William Hague. ‘There is no military solution and we have no illusions about that.

This muddled, rambling and obviously confused stream of consciousness only serves to illustrate all too well that Obama really has no message, no coherent foreign policy to speak of. Just last Friday, Team Obama said that they were considering accepting a Saudi offer to pay for America to destroy Damascus. Huh? America as a hired mercenary for a Muslim kingdom?

When Obama first said he wanted to attack Syria, there was worldwide outrage and anger, with not even our constant ally England standing with us. Here we are two weeks later, and the world’s anger is beginning to turn into laughter. Mocking laughter at an American president who is in over his head and saying silly, foolish things.

From Daily Mail UK: John Kerry today told Syrian tyrant Bashar al Assad he had until the end of the week to hand over his chemical arsenal or face possible attack.

The U.S. Secretary of State issued the ultimatum as he arrived in London on the latest leg of a whistlestop tour of Europe to garner support for intervention in Syria.

Speaking ahead of a crucial vote in Congress on U.S. involvement, he said there was compelling evidence that Assad’s regime had used chemical weapons against its own people.

But in an tacit message to American politicians who have heavily resisted action in the Middle East, Mr Kerry said that any strike would be ‘unbelievably small’.

‘The United States of America – President Obama, myself and others – are in full agreement that the end of the conflict in Syria requires a political solution,’ he said during a joint press conference with Foreign Secretary William Hague. ‘There is no military solution and we have no illusions about that.

‘But a resolution to this has to come about because the parties are prepared to come and negotiate that political solution. If one party believes that he can rub out countless numbers of his own citizens with impunity, using chemicals that have been banned for 100 years … he will never come to the negotiating table.

‘A resolution will not be found on the battlefield, but at the negotiating table, but we have to get to that table.’

Mr Kerry – whose visit to the Foreign Office was met with a small but vocal anti-war protest – used the opportunity to redouble his attacks on Assad, saying that the Syrian president’s credibility was in question.

‘He sends SCUD missiles into schools,’ he said ‘(Washington) knows where the rockets came from and where they landed … and it was no accident that they all came from regime -controlled territory and all landed (in opposition-held territory)’

In an interview on CBS’s This Morning, Assad argued that the evidence Mr Kerry has disclosed about chemical weapons use amounts to a ‘big lie’ that resembled the case for war in Iraq the U.S. made to the United Nations over a decade ago.

Asked to respond, Mr Kerry said he would be confident to take evidence that the US intelligence committee has gathered into any court.

‘What does he offer?’ Mr Kerry asked. ‘Words that are contradicted by fact.’ source – Daily Mail UK

Pentagon officials cannot track the whereabouts of $500 million worth of military equipment the U.S. donated to Yemen since 2007 – raising alarms that the hardware may have ended up with al-Qaeda or Iranian-backed rebels.

Ever wonder how al-Qaeda and ISIS always have such advanced weaponry and military capabilities? Wonder no more! Obama gives it to them, that’s how they do it. Did you think it was a trick question?

U.S. officials said Tuesday that increasing instability in Yemen has made it impossible to keep tabs on donated equipment that includes small arms, ammunition, patrol boats and night-vision goggles, according to The Washington Post.

“We have to assume it’s completely compromised and gone,” a legislative aide on Capitol Hill, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post.

In January, Yemen’s government was overtaken by Iranian-backed Shiite Houthi rebels. The rebels are increasingly taking over military bases.

Since then, the U.S. closed its embassy in Yemen and the Defense Department has stopped delivering equipment to the country, including a shipment of $125 million worth of military products scheduled to be delivered earlier this year.

This is the equipment no one can find, The Post reports:

  • 1,250,000 rounds of ammunition
  • 200 Glock 9 mm pistols
  • 200 M-4 rifles
  • 4 Huey II helicopters
  • 2 Cessna 208 transport and surveillance aircraft
  • 2 coastal patrol boats
  • 1 CN-235 transport and surveillance aircraft
  • 4 hand-launched Raven drones
  • 160 Humvees

An al-Qaeda affiliate has threatened to kill an American hostage in three days if the U.S. government does not respond to the group’s demands, according to terrorist monitoring group Site Intelligence Group.

Luke Somers, a 33-year-old photojournalist, was abducted in 2013 in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, according to media reports. In a YouTube video published Wednesday, he says he is certain his “life is in danger.”

The video features an al-Qaeda official and a brief message from Somers – dressed in a purple shirt and with a shaved head – at the end. He notes that he was born in England but has American citizenship and lived in America for most of his life.

The al-Qaeda operative who speaks throughout much of the video and threatens that Somers will meet his “inevitable fate” if the group’s demands are not met is Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi of the Arabian Peninsula affiliate, Site Intelligence Group said. The video does not list what those demands are, but al-Ansi says Washington is “aware” of them.

“It’s now been well over a year since I’ve been kidnapped in Sanaa,” Somers said in the footage. “Basically, I’m looking for any help that can get me out of this situation. I’m certain that my life is in danger. So as I sit here now, I ask, if anything can be done, please let it be done. Thank you very much.”

Somers was kidnapped in September 2013 from a street in Sanaa, where he had worked as a photojournalist for the Yemen Times, the Associated Press said.

Islamic terror groups post at least 90 tweets every minute, a new report has found

The data was revealed in a survey conducted by the Saudi-based Sakina, an independent, non-governmental organisation created to engage in dialogue online as a way to combat internet radicalization.

Results showed that terror groups such as the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, Al-Nusra Front and Islamic State (ISIS) use social media to recruit new members and to spread their propaganda.

Abdulmunim Al-Mushawah, head of the organisation, revealed that about 129,600 tweets were posted by accounts affiliated to terror groups in October 2014. As a result, at least 500 accounts believed to have been run by terrorists were deactivated.

Al-Mushawah urged for a censorship committee to be put in place in order to monitor tweets that could be written to promote insurgents’ propaganda. “The nature of the extremist can be understood by analysing his posts, identifying his social circle and understanding his internal motives and history,” he was quoted by the Saudi Gazzette as saying.

“After understanding and recognising the type of extremist the person is, we can then follow the appropriate method of dialogue knowing that it is a lengthy and complicated process at times.

“The responsibility of protecting the general public from terrorist activities does not only lie with the official directorates. It is also the responsibility of the media, mosques and educational institutes,” he continued.

“Public awareness and guidance are the campaign’s top priorities because it is important to teach people how to face one problem without creating another.”
