Do You Know What
is Happening in Mali?

Arutz Sheva [Israel], by Prof. Phyllis Chesler

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 1/19/2013 2:05:15 PM

During the third debate of the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney talked about Mali and the danger al-Qaeda represented there. The Obamamedia laughed and derided Romney, carrying Barack Obama’s water and continued advancing the fraud that Obama had decimated al-Qaeda, even though al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists had taken over an American consulate and killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya just weeks prior. Surprise!!!! Al-Qaeda in Mali is a serious enough threat that the French, The French!, have invaded Mali to fight them there. It looks like Romney was indeed

Comments:
This is not an attempt to rehash our last election. It is a wake-up call to those who think Al Qaeda is dead [like 0bama claims] and that we are through fighting them when moving troops out of Middle East. No mention of Iran who we claim, are attacking our major banking computer websites recently. Because Mali overthrown in a coup, we must wait for "elected" government to ask for help [Ha, ha]. Al Qaeda wants an Islamic state that strictly follows Sharia law. Algeria where current fighting in oil-fields may be next.

We know that Romney raised this issue in October and was denounced as the liar of the year by the palace media. There are more Malis in the waiting and we are not going to hear about them until concealment is unavoidable. Thats what we voted for.

Obama, you are a Mikey Mouse, Milquetoast, sissy-faced, rose water squirting liberal. Get off your skinny backside and act like The President of the United States (for once in your potato-string backbone life) and deal with this. American citizens and Ambassadors are being slaughtered in North Africa.

The perception that Obama is simply naive or weak in dealing with Islamists is a continuing misconception, and a dangerous one, because it doesn´t address the true hazard...this guy is consciously and cleverly facilitating the creation of the worldwide caliphate. It´s inescapable if you simply track his behavior across the globe.

Uprisings that threaten an existing Islamist state (Iran, for example) are deliberately ignored. Uprisings that depose a West-friendly or neutral government and replace it with an Islamist one are openly supported and publicly encouraged (Egypt, Libya, etc.).

When the heck is Congress going to step up and do its duty? This guy must be stopped.

1. Impeach the corrupt enemedia, the bastid liars!
2.Impeach that Kenyan mulatto foreign exchange student and his demented VP liar!
3. Send Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Reid, Bloomberg, Cuomo, Hagel, Kerry, Clinton, Christie, Schumer, Weiner, and all other lefty liars straight to hell!
4. Place Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio in the White House and give them advisors like Giuliani, Gingrich, Ryan, Bolton, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rush Limbaugh!
5. Restore all cuts to the military. Reduce the allocations to welfare recipients and give it instead to the troops!
6. Fire every public school employee and begin a re-hire marathon based on actual "well-qualified applicants" with no affirmative action or race criteria...just the smartest, and especially look for American veterans who want to teach and counsel students in order to make them intelligent! No more baby-sitting these dumbasses by chair-warming underachievers!

There, I fixed America!

Yes, Romney was right about Mali and he was right about Chrysler´s intent to build its jeeps in China. And what does it all matter now? We are living the lie that is Obama.

Obama initiated & his minons trained the Muslim Brotherhood his tactics for community organizing as a cover for The Arab Springs, lying that it was locals seeking democracy.

Of course, that lie doesn´t work when overthrowing an existing democracy so the leader becomes the evil one.

Mali, Alberia, India,Somalia & others battle the same Arab Springs but the MSM win´t cover them.

Now that the Islamist raiders have gained power in Somalia, Hillary is scheduled to bestow upon the invaders the title of Legitimate Government for Somalia this week!

The only ray of sunshine in all this is that the UN, Cameron & Hollande now know exactly who Obama is.

I hate to be picky, but "decimated" means decreased by a tenth (that is 90% still remain). It is quite possible that al-Qaeda has been decimated. However, a huge problem remains...wonder how long we wait until we get serious about it.

Mitt was right.
Our pretend professor thinks he´s destroyed terrorism.
Our noble peas prize winner thinks he and his alchemists at the Federal Reserve can create money out of thin air.
Our great and industrious autobiographer thinks he can use children to take away our rights under the Constitution.
Our Obamaham Lincoln has encouraged half of the American populace to "get in their faces".
Say what you will about Mitt Romney, and believe me we´ve heard it all, but this is a decent man and he had a chance to turn the ship around.

This all tracks back to Egypt and Libya. Now those weapons are all over N Africa and Syria. And it isn´t just this president, but also morons like McCain and Lindsay Graham who are accomplices in it with him. Remember McCain on the floor of the Senate attacking Michelle Bachmanna and she was right about muslim influence at the state department. Hagel will fit in just fine along with Brenan. Now where are the Republicans who will back Bachmann and raise a fuss about any of this?

Obama promised to, FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Every move he makes furthers this goal.

His administration and the complicit media are doing it one step at a time. We have given him four more years to destroy America as it was founded.

Romney made his statements shortly after he started getting intelligence briefings. So the Obamatons know. It shows that this is not an intelligence problem, it´s a political problem. Stemming from the White House.

"LIE OF THE YEAR"

and now, shazaam, it´s January 15 or so, and shucks, the rich guy who killed the lady with cancer and cheated on his taxes and has money in (gasp) the Cayman Islands ... was RIGHT!

By the way, I was in the Caymans a couple weeks ago on a cruise. The bus driver was telling us that no, the Caymans aren´t a place to stash money (it´s a British colony and the British govt. would have problems with that) ... but a better place is a place called DELAWARE. Isn´t that big f´ing deal of a Vice President from that joint?

Question. What are we to do when the Republicans go belly up on every issue that is important in furthering Obama´s agenda? Don´t say, we´ll defeat them at the ballot box. By the time 2014 comes around, Obama will have what he needs. He is working on gun control now, but his main goal is immigration. If he is successful, it´s over. We will never be able to defeat the democrats again. I realize this question is silly, but why won´t the RNC get their act together and formulate a plan or a strategy to fight the tyranny that is consuming this nation? It can only be one thing, they are complicent. We have no one strong and courageous enough to make a stand. The Republicans are so worried about getting the blame. By doing nothing history is going to blame them for the loss of liberty and freedom because could not bring themselves to fight. If that is the case, and it appears it is, those cowards are dancing on the graves of every man and woman who fought and died to preserve the freedom they enjoy.

It´s going to get worse before it gets better in America. That´s why it is imperative that we assert our 2nd Amendment rights and all that goes with it.

Otherwise, once the islamoterrorists win the smaller battles, we will become Mali on a bigger scale. The terrorist in the White House and her puppet barry will have given them the key to the gates.

Mitt was right.
Meanwhile back in SodØm:
The second inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States is scheduled to take place in a private swearing-in ceremony on Sunday, January 20 and in a public ceremony on Monday, January 21, 2013. The inauguration will mark the beginning of the second term of Barack Hussein Obama as President and Joe Dopey Biden as Vice President.

The MSM, written and voiced, did an excellent job of making the ´low information voter´ think that the lies they were being told by the Democrat Liberals were the truth and the truth that the Republican Conservatives were voicing were lies.

Reply 36, Romney made his charge about Mali and Obama said it was not true. What was Romney supposed to say: "TIs too!"

Not only was Romney called a liar on Mali but the Fact Check people claimed he lied about the Italian car company´s intention to move the making of jeeps from the US to China. Fiat lied to FactCheck and Fiat´s word was accepted as truth. Even some Republicans said that Romney lied.

And to the poster who is tired of hearing about Romney and can´t we stop it, no, we can´t. Not until the record has been set straight. Some are quick to fault the GOP for not being tenacious enough but can´t be bothered to listen when a point is pursued.

Romney knew what was happening over there and was rejected by the American electorate, while Obama laughed, and fraudulently told the American people through his media allies that he had decimated the enemy over there and was re-elected. Obviously the reality is that there is something terribly wrong in dog patch!

# 27 claims that Republicans are not fighting and going belly up.
Ahem..many Republicans have spoken out forcefully on this situation in the past few days.
The national media does not cover Republicans truthfully and will rarely report on their statements.
Unfortunately, the same can be said of some right wing talkers.
If a Republican condemns Obama and the media and right wing talkers don´t report it,
apparently it didn´t happen.
Legislatively , Republicans cannot actually do much , since they lost 8 House seats
and now have a much decreased majority.
Republicans lost 25 of the 33 Senate seats up this past November.
Democrats now control the Senate 55 to 45.
Demanding they " fight " sounds nice, but, no one ever presents a strategic plan on how to accomplish that legislatively
considering the math ,
the Constitution and the powerful anti Republican media.
Rep Mike Rogers ( R-Mich ) was on CNN blasting Obama ´s Algerian Al Queda disaster.
“You have to have an overarching plan that puts pressure on these groups.
You can´t just fire a few missiles and pack up and go home and hope for the best.”
Rep Ileana Ros-Lehtinen ( R- FL ) told The Hill
“I´m glad that the president woke up, finally."
New House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) said the terrorist attack in Algeria
was “the latest demonstration of a large and growing radical movement across North Africa.”
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas)- “Today, North Africa is the next frontier in the war on terror ” and
“Al Qaeda´s North African franchises have become emboldened by our timid response to Benghazi..."

The Mali guys are a barrel of laughs. They have outlawed music. If you have a cell phone and it rings with a ringtone they take it and maybe you. No music. It is a product of the evil west. The only ringtones permitted are verses from the Koran. There is a singer from Mali and they state if they catch her they will cut her tongue out so she can never sing again. I hate to come across as narrow minded and intolerant but I really hate these idiots. They destroy anything western or non Islam even if it is relic from antiquity. If they get the pyramids they are gone too.

#41 may have inadvertently made #27’s point with his list of Republican representatives quoted on TV and in articles. Of the four listed, the highest-ranking member was the new Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Where’s the “leadership” including Boehner and McConnell, their Whips, and caucus leaders?

What we have here are some good responses made by lone representatives, usually from conservative districts, but without any strong backup from the “leadership”. This allows the GOP to be on-the-record to prove that they’re “conservative enough”, but they will cover their intended inaction with complaints that the mean old media (including the right-wing talkers!) won’t give them any airtime.

Why not this for a strategic plan? The “leadership” needs to make the rounds of the Sunday “news” shows, they need to hold press conferences on the steps of the Capitol, and to write op-ed pieces for all the major newspapers. Every representative should be on their local TV “news” shows and doing op-ed in their local papers. They must stand up and make the case against Obama loud and constant. Where’s the RNC? Why aren’t they running ads like the NRA?

We’re expected to believe people smart enough to achieve elite positions in the GOP are somehow thwarted because they cannot overcome “the math, the Constitution, and the powerful anti Republican media.” If they’ve got a math problem its because they don’t stand for anything. We’re not asking them to “overcome” the Constitution but to use it and defend it. They’ve had 30 years experience dealing with the “powerful anti Republican media” and they’re still victims of it? Smart people, indeed.

#27 is right. Collusion with the big government statists is the only explanation.

“He was not radical at all,” Taramov told WESH-TV. He added that the FBI had been tracking Todashev since the Boston bombings. At some point, Todashev moved to Florida. He was arrested for aggravated battery this month, according to police records, after getting into a fight with a man in a parking lot. When the FBI agent and others arrived at his apartment early Wednesday, the law enforcement officials said Todashev initially was cooperative. They said he appeared on the verge of signing a confession to the killings of three people in Waltham in September 2011.

Jerusalem - Israel´s air force chief says his troops need to be ready to act quickly in case of an attack from Syria. The remarks by Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel Wednesday echo statements by Israel´s military chief of staff a day earlier. Eshel warned escalation could lead to a "surprise war." He said Russian S-300 air defense systems are "on their way" to Syria, though Israel asked Russia not to supply them. Israel is concerned the Syrian civil war could spill across its border. Syrian and Israeli forces briefly exchanged fire on the Golan Heights border Tuesday. Israel has warned it will not tolerate fire from Syria

An 18-year-old Florida student’s senior year has become a nightmare — all because she was in a same-sex relationship with a 15-year-old, her family says. Kaitlyn Hunt was arrested Feb. 16 for having a physical relationship with a younger classmate, who was her girlfriend at the time, mom Kelley Hunt Smith wrote on Facebook. Under Florida law, Hunt could see up to 15 years in prison and must register as a sex offender. A plea deal, however, remains on the table that would give Hunt two years´ house arrest and one year of probation, her family said. “Does my daughter deserve to lose her life for

As the impasse over Tehran’s nuclear program worsens, those most likely to be directly affected by an Iranian bomb are showing greater alarm. While the media fixates on Israel and its possible reaction, other regional players have no less at stake. Despite Riyadh’s long-held advocacy of making the Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, there has been much speculation in the past few years about the possibility of its acquiring, or developing, nuclear weapons should Tehran obtain the bomb. In the words of Saudi King Abdullah: “If Iran developed nuclear weapons (...) everyone in the

Former Rep.

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
