The slow motion U.S. response to the crisis on Mount Sinjar is not only understandable it’s actually quite predictable.

President Obama’s entire ideological outlook and world view is born amid the kitchens, coffee tables, and social organizations of his life.   Together with his compadre’s they view the Gaza conflict through the prism of righteous protests against U.S. engagements in Vietnam.

Bill Ayers famously views armed opposition to the U.S. government as a patriotic and loyal endeavor – what’s a few local bombs intended to do if not to prove a point.   The rockets from Gaza are no more radical in the mind of the radical left than Ayers pentagon bombing of another similarly oppressive entity, the United States.

But something happens at that very specific juncture where the presentation of Hope and Fundamental Change meets the more brutal reality of consequence.    

 “The Audacity of Hope” [pg. 261]: Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

While this quote has been inappropriately mislabeled to present evidence of President Obama’s personal Muslim affiliation, the component of truthful sentiment carried within it rings clear.

President Obama thinks the Islamic world in general, and the Muslim population therein, have been given a raw deal.   But now, amid the crisis on Mount Sinjar, he’s facing the reality of authentic Islam being carried out to it’s logical conclusion.

That reality is in direct opposition to his expressed desire to extend the largest possible benefit of ideological doubt.

We’ve been discussing this dynamic since President Obama made the specific choice to kill a typical Marxist leader in Libya who was essentially no more dangerous to the United States interests than another typical Marxist leader in Venezuela who Obama seemed to take no issue with.

Is the greater Muslim Brotherhood just a crew of poorly understood “rebels” yearning to be free?

Despite the obvious answers recently evidenced, obviously President Obama and all surrounding players have long held an ideological affection toward that end.  Hence their 2011 decision to arm Libyan al-Qaeda, the 2012 decision to arm Syrian al-Qaeda, and the vocal -and visible- support for Egypt’s prior Brotherhood head Morsi. 

The consequences from those decisions of 2011 are playing out right now in the North African civil war raging violently as the benefactors of Obama’s Libya policy, the radical islamists – the Muslim Brotherhood, are destroying the nation of Libya.  An Obama created void yet to be filled.

Whether or not President Obama and his advisor Samantha Power are awakening to the reality that it really isn’t our support for Israel that’s the cause of all the worlds problems has yet to be determined.  

Each committed traveler carry years and years of indoctrination principles that have to fall away if they are to accept the natural conclusion to the ideology they use as their compass heading.

Meanwhile the beheadings, and slaughter, will continue until Western opinion of the Islamic conquerors improves;  or so it would appear.

Such is the new global reality, and as a specific consequence the realignment taking place. 

You cannot call evil by another name, vis-à-vis “rebels”, in the naive hope some mysterious evolution will take place removing the inherent hatred.  

Those political winds mentioned have indeed shifted as the entire globe bears increasing witness to ISIL carrying out the authentic displays of their politically based religious ideology.

Yet the leftists cling.

Desperately.

Clinging to their hopes and changeisms, as if the Palestinian Keffiyeh provides some form of magical protection from reality.

Meanwhile Vladimir Putin seizes the opportunity to put a friendly face on Russia against the alternative Islamic conquerors’.  

Both Russia’s Putin and ISIS’s Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi are two sides of the same coin; but with Obama busy playing golf, those who stand to find themselves victims of the current beheadings are more willing to take positions of alignment with the currently softer face.

As Pam Geller recently shares – “As the world roils in the wake of Obama’s pro-jihad foreign policy, Obama continues to alienate our allies and partners against the axis of evil.  Putin, on the other hand, is no one’s fool, and is exploiting  every weakness of this disastrous presidency”:

Putin assures Egypt’s Sisi that Moscow ‘ready to expand cooperation’ Special to WorldTribune.com MOSCOW — Russia has pledged to accelerate military deliveries to Egypt. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Kremlin would ensure that Egypt would soon receive billions of dollars worth of Russian weapons.

Putin, in a meeting with President Abdul Fatah Sisi, said the deliveries have already begun. “We are delivering weapons to Egypt,” Putin said. “We are ready to expand this cooperation.” On Aug. 12, Putin and Sisi held their first summit since the latter was elected Egypt’s president in May 2014.

In March, Cairo and Moscow signed a military protocol that envisioned the sale of $3 billion worth of attack helicopters, fighter-jets, air defense batteries and other platforms to Egypt. “We are actively developing our military and technological cooperation,” Putin said.

Sisi arrived in Russia after a meeting with Saudi King Abdullah in Jedda on Aug. 10. Saudi Arabia has been the leading financier of Egypt’s defense and energy purchases over the last year. Officials did not provide details of Russian arms shipments to Egypt. They said Egypt was particularly interested in Russian surface-to-air missiles as well as coproduction and technology transfer. “All the people of Egypt are closely watching my visit and expecting a high level of cooperation between our states,” Sisi said. “I expect that we will meet their expectations.” (link)
