<O> ¿QUE
ES LO QUE LE PASA AL PARTIDO REPUBLICANO, AL TEA PARTY Y A TODAS LAS OTRAS
ORGANIZACIONES QUE SE SUPONE QUE SE ENFRENTESN Y DERROTEN A LAS ESTUPIDECES, LOCURAS Y MALA
INTENCION DEL REGIMEN DE barack hussein obama y comparsa?
En la práctica ninguna de las
organizaciones conservadoras y pro constitución que se supone se enfrenten a
obama, no tienen la menor idea de cómo se tienen que enfrentar y vencer este
engendro maléfico y destructor creado por el partido demócrata, obama, los
Clinton, Erick Holder y todo el resto de la comparsa de los escorpiones
venenosos, tarántulas y serpientes venenosas, sin olvidarnos de los
globalistas y hasta el misterioso gobierno mundial y todo el resto de una metralla que se ha unido para destruir a
los Estados Unidos de América y al mundo. En que están pensando o mejor que
están haciendo los Conservadores y defensores de la Democracia para evitar
esta debacle universal que va barranco abajo sin frenos, porque hasta ahora
no han hecho nada que vulnere todas las desgracias que han hecho el tean de
obama y el resto de los traidores.
Según estos esperpentos
traidores socialistoides y el partido
demócrata parece que si saben cómo tienen que hacer su campana estrategia y
táctica para destruir a Los Estados Unidos. Y los Conservadores no tienen ni
la más ligera idea de cómo se pueden anotar un solo tanto están más perdidos
que un piojo en una lata de aceite de motor. Pero sin embargo esta metralla
se pasa la vida haciendo las estupideces más grandes y dañinas a la nación y
les dan resultados y los que se suponen que estén ahí para evitarlo y
plantear y poner en marcha los planes para reconquistar todo el terreno que
se ha perdido. No hacen ni c… “bien
gracias” están como el pescado en la tarima… Con los ojos abiertos y no ven
nada” recibiendo lo golpes del enemigo y aguantando como un guanajo. Pero ese
problema no es solo del Partido Republicano. Esto está aconteciendo en todo
el ámbito nacional y en todos los frentes. El despiste y la comemierderia es
general, en todas las materias, política, económica, social, educativa, de
divulgación y confrontación, etc.
La creatividad, la imaginación,
la moral y la capacidad de respuesta efectiva ha sucumbido; están como los bobos anormales
babeándose y cogiendo golpes de todos los colores y nadie sabe a ciencia cierta sabe que es lo
que está pasando y mucho menos que se puede hacer para detener esta debacle.
Llevamos 6 años sin saber qué es lo que se puede y se debe hacer en contra de
estos tramposos. Estamos en medio de un océano de inopia, bula y estupideces
que no nos conducen a ninguna parte correcta. Estamos perdiendo terreno
constantemente, siendo batidos por un huracán
de golpes y perdidas sin fin y no tenemos donde guarecernos, y no hay capitán,
ni timonel que dirija la nación a puerto seguro; parece que nada puede impedir
que se hunda la embarcación. Mientras tanto la chusma diligente, los
homosexuales y los drogadictos, siguen
avanzando en su agenda. Mientras que los que deben hacer algo están
entretenidos con todas las berracadas que no nos conducen a ningun triunfo. Si
seguimos durmiendo de ese lado nos va a salir un tremendo chichón.
Es imperativo que
las personas decentes que tienen el deber y la necesidad de que este país regrese
a la senda de la decencia, estabilidad y prosperidad ; se levanten de la
poltrona, apaguen el televisor y salgan a resolver esta, que a mi juicio es
la crisis mas grande que ha rtenido nuestra nación en toda su historia. Necesitamos
inmediatamente…URGENTEMENTE que alguien
pueda mover voluntades y acciones que muevan la nación hacia delante y hacia arriba
y detengan ya este movimiento obamistico que nos lleva hacia atrás y hacia
abajo.

First look—crazy
new Obama law
Dear Reader, You may have heard about a new currency law coming to America. On July 1st of this year, Title V of the Obama Administration’s HR Bill #2847, known as FATCA, goes into effect. And after collectively spending more than 100 hours reading the actual legislation and its associated news coverage, we found 4 concerns we think you need to be aware of…
1.
Most people mistakenly think they’re not affected by FATCA. If you are a U.S.
citizen… or if you hold any of your money in U.S. dollars, this new law definitely affects you.
2. The more you trade and invest, the more likely you are to get hit hard by this new bill. 3. It is not difficult for an American tax payer to be labeled “recalcitrant” as part of this new law. And as soon as you are…you potentially become subject to a 30% tax. 4. The implementation of FATCA has been delayed several times, but now the IRS says it will not be delayed anymore. It will go into full effect on July 1st of this year. In fact, on April 2nd of this year, the new IRS commissioner said, “Whatever else we are going to do, we are going to implement the non-discretionary legislative mandates we have been given: the Affordable Care Act and FATCA” We think every American needs to learn about this law. Get the facts, and learn how to protect yourself. To help, we’ve put together a slide show presentation on our website, which you can access free of charge.

Conmovedora y memorable, así definió la prima ballerina
assoluta la función que ofreció el pasado viernes 6 de junio el Ballet Nacional
de Cuba (BNC) en el Centro de Bellas Artes de Santurce en San Juan, Puerto
Rico. La compañía, que hacía 30 años no se presentaba en la isla boricua,
recibió una excelente acogida de público y crítica por el espectáculo La
magia de la danza.
“Fue muy lindo el respeto y el cariño que nos mostraron, hemos disfrutado mucho regresar a Puerto Rico”, manifestó Alicia en un encuentro sostenido con la prensa, a su regreso. La directora y fundadora del BNC también hizo alusión al fragmento del poema de la puertorriqueña Lola Rodríguez de Tió para exteriorizar las similitudes de entre ambos países. “Cuba y Puerto Rico son de un pájaro las dos alas, somos dos pueblos que nos parecemos mucho”, dijo mientras interpretaba con sus brazos la conocida frase poética. Catalogada por la crítica de ese país como un hecho histórico, la presentación del BNC estuvo dedicada a la bailarina y maestra boricua Silvia Marichal, fallecida hace unos días y quien durante muchos años fuera primera solista de la compañía cubana. “El Ballet Nacional de Cuba logró hipnotizar al público que llenó la sala y que aún después de terminada la función continuaba bajo el embrujo de la mundialmente famosa institución dirigida por la prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso”, reseñó el diario El Nuevo Día, luego de la actuación del BNC, que estuvo precedida por un ensayo general al que asistieron alumnos de ballet provenientes de casi todas las provincias del país. “El ensayo fue un estímulo para los bailarines, asistieron muchos jóvenes conocedores de la técnica del ballet”, añadió Alicia, quien agradeció, además, el gran cariño y el recibimiento del auditorio. Durante el encuentro, celebrado en la sede del BNC, también trascendió el reconocimiento del Departamento de Estado que recibieron la prima ballerina y el BNC. La distinción oficial del gobierno puertorriqueño fue entregada en un emotivo acto público, según lo catalogó la maestra. Esta función de La magia de la danza, una antología que recoge importantes momentos del arte coreográfico del siglo XIX y en donde se pueden disfrutar escenas de Giselle, La bella durmiente del bosque, Cascanueces, Coppelia, Don Quijote, El lago de los cisnes y Sinfonía de Gottschalk, combinó figuras jóvenes y otras consagradas de la compañía cubana como Viengsay Valdés, Yanela Piñera, Amaya Rodríguez, José Carlos Lozada y Dani Hernández. Luego de comentar sobre la experiencia en San Juan, la artista anunció la próxima temporada deEl lago de los cisnes en la sala Avellaneda del teatro Nacional de Cuba del 20 al 29 de junio, en los horarios habituales de fines de semana.
EL INMUNDO GRANMA DE
MIAMI, OFRECE LA VERSION OFICIAL 2 SOBRE LA DESERCION DE LOS
BAILARINES CUBANOS
[ESTA VERSION ES SOLO PARA EXTRANJEROS, PROHIBIDA SU PUBLICACION EN LA HABANA] Crónica de una deserción anunciada en Miami
Parafraseando un
título del maestro Gabriel García Márquez, hoy quiero hablarles de un tema,
basándome para ello en mi experiencia personal. Sirve mucho para este trabajo
el haber sido durante años reportero de noticias en canales de televisión en
el terreno, en la calle. Uno aprende que una redacción, ya sea de radio o de
televisión, pero sobre todo de televisión porque es de todos los medios el
más caro, no envía de viaje a un equipo por casualidad, a ver si sucede algo
en determinado lugar.
No lo hace porque
hay que realizar gastos en producción, pagar tiros de satélite, camarógrafos,
productores, periodistas, etc. No se arriesga esta inversión si no se está
seguro de que algo va a suceder.
Usted no envía, por
ejemplo, un equipo a Tampa o Sarasota y les dice que se planten allí a ver si
pasa algo. Eso no sucede en ninguna televisión del mundo.
Por eso creo que es
muy sospechoso que el Canal 41 América Tevé de Miami, de Omar Romay, haya
enviado a Puerto Rico, a San Juan, al periodista y ya activista anticastrista
Rolando Nápoles, junto con un equipo completo de televisión, y que
“casualmente” el día en que ellos estaban allí se produzca la deserción de
ocho bailarines del Ballet Nacional de Cuba.
Es también muy
sospechoso que precisamente Nápoles aparezca allí cubriendo todo eso. Y es
muy significativo que aún sin permiso de trabajo, lo que estipula las leyes
federales de Estados Unidos para todos sus estados, estas personas ya hayan
sido contratadas para trabajar en Miami, este propio fin de semana, por la
mini “compañía” de Pedro Pablo Peña. Un individuo que se dedica a piratear el
talento del Ballet Nacional de Cuba, traerlo a Miami y ofrecerle una vida
bastante magra.
Peña suele aparejar
esta acción con un discurso público políticamente estridente y anti cubano,
pero sobre todo cargado de una gran envidia (no puedo usar otra palabra) a
Alicia Alonso. En algunas ocasiones le he escuchado el deseo de
imitarla.
Hoy en día, en que
cualquier bailarín puede obtener un contrato, si tiene talento para que se lo
ofrezcan, y con ese contrato trabajar en el exterior y regresar a Cuba, es
muy difícil justificar esta deserción con un motivo político. A no ser que se
trate de bailarines cubanos que llegan a Estados Unidos, específicamente a
Miami.
Es muy sospechoso
además, como dijo el copresentador de nuestro programa la Tarde se Mueve
Eddie Levy, que en los anuncios de dicho canal se proclame que ellos eran la
única estación que tenía contacto con estos bailarines; como si hubiera algún
trato de exclusividad por el medio. Parece como si existieran contactos desde
antes que estos bailarines decidieran dejar en Ballet Nacional de Cuba.
Algunos bailarines
han declarado tanto a dicho reportero Nápoles y programas de ese mismo Canal
41, que no le habían dicho a nadie sus planes de desertar, otros que tomaron
la decisión en el último minuto. Bueno, si eso es así, cómo es que ese canal
de televisión de Miami sabía que se iban a producir las deserciones.
La cobertura que ha
hecho la televisión es digna de los peores reportajes de la Guerra Fría.
Un artículo publicado ayer 10 de junio en El Nuevo Herald titulado “Un noveno bailarín cubano desertó a EEUU
tras burlar los controles” afirma que uno de los bailarines llegó
sin orientación al aeropuerto de Miami y se quedó en casa de una persona que
conoció allí mismo, también de casualidad. Y que ni siquiera avisó a su madre
en Matanzas que se iba del país porque temía que los teléfonos estuvieran
ocupados. Pura película de agentes especiales en fuga.
No es la primera
vez que sucede que la prensa de Miami se adelanta y anuncia deserciones antes
que estas se produzcan.
El 24 de septiembre
del 2013 un medio de Miami anunció que el lanzador Raciel Iglesias había
abandonado Cuba por la Isla de la Juventud, donde residía. Y el día 26 se
informó que Iglesias había sido detenido por tropas de guarda fronteras
cubanas pues su salda ilegal se había frustrado. Las tropas cubanas
encontraron a esta persona escondida en los mangles de la costa.
La propia prensa de
Miami alertó que esa fuga se produciría. Lo que muestra que por alguna vía
obtuvieron la información. Pudiera ser incluso que traficantes o leguleyos
vinculados a este negocio de tráfico humano filtren información a los medios.
Porque todo esto parece preparado, nada espontáneo.
La prensa de Miami,
que se ha ido tras las “revelaciones” del Canal 41, no ha prestado atención a
lo fundamental, al hecho artístico. El Ballet Nacional de Cuba fue ovacionado
en Puerto Rico. Su directora Alicia Alonso, cuyo aporte al arte universal es
indiscutible, fue homenajeada por las autoridades de ese país. En especial
porel Secretario de Estado
de Puerto Rico David Bernier. Esas deserciones
ocuparon un segundo plano en la isla boricua, porque el Ballet Nacional de Cuba
es una institución con cantera, escuelas y profunda huella.
El periódico
puertorriqueño El Nuevo Día, en valoraciones citadas hoy por el periódico
Granma, dice con elocuencia: “El Ballet Nacional de Cuba logró
hipnotizar al público que llenó la sala y que aún después de terminada la
función continuaba bajo el embrujo de la mundialmente famosa institución dirigida
por la prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso”.Esa es la noticia real, eso es lo que
permanece en el tiempo. (http://www.granma.cu/cultura/2014-06-10/virtud-danzaria-encanto-a-puerto-rico)
La presentación
anoche de los bailarines en el programa El Espejo, que conduce Juan Manuel
Cao en dicho canal, fue penosa y espantosa. Los jóvenes dejaron claro que les
interesaba intentar bailar en roles más importantes y que abrirse paso en el
Ballet cubano era muy difícil. Es lógico, hay mucha competencia en Cuba
porque hay mucho talento.
Durante toda la
presentación los bailarines estuvieron escoltados por el susodicho Pedro Pablo Peña, quien es
ahora su nuevo “director”; y también por el interrogador Juan Manuel Cao,
quien constantemente estuvo tratando de sacar alguna declaración política a
los invitados sin lograrlo.
Una de las
bailarinas, por cierto, agradeció la ayuda que habían tenido en Puerto Rico
para la deserción por William Carmona. Un hecho que confirma las sospechas
que les decía. Carmona es un pintor imitativo, en Cuba no sobresalió ni un
solo día como artista; se ha inventado que su estilo es “surrealismo
tropical” pero en verdad no es otra cosa que un imitador epigonal del maestro
Roberto Fabelo. Para hacerse de un mercado en Puerto Rico William Carmona se
ha vendido en su discurso público a la extrema derecha cubana, así que
tampoco es casual que sea precisamente él quien haya colaborado con estas
deserciones.
Pues ya están en
Miami los bailarines, ya va pasando la ola de fama que tiene todo recién
llegado. La realidad les dará las lecciones más duras. Si no, pregúntenle
cómo han sido sus vidas a verdaderas estrellas que han tomado ese camino
décadas atrás, como Rosario Suárez, La Charín, sin poder hacer carrera como
artista ni en Estados Unidos, ni siquiera en Miami; y pregúntenle también al
que un día fue el gran Jorge Esquivel, del cual hoy ni siquiera sé dónde
está.

This Amendment Could Mean The
End Of Free Speech
A significant number of Democratic
senators are backing a bill to do just that. RICHARD LARSEN JUNE 11,
2014
Freedom
of Speech is something we often take for granted. We can express our approval
or disapprobation of events, inanimate objects, people, and even politicians.
We often feel that there are unwritten political-correctness forces at work
attempting to stifle expression regarding certain subjects; but as stated in
the First Amendment to the Constitution, “Congress shall make no law …
abridging the freedom of speech…” That is, until now. Forty-three Democrat
senators are backing a bill to do just that.
In
politics, communication and freedom of expression are not only protected
activities under the First Amendment; but they are requisite in order to
educate, campaign, and influence voters. The primary means of such
communication are through the media and through advertising. And advertising
is only possible with money, and lots of it. So when controls are placed on
the raising and spending of campaign funds, such controls restrict and
constrain political free speech. And that’s precisely what is being
attempted.
This
week, the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted the first round of hearings on
Senate Joint Resolution 19. The bill is sponsored by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM)
and cosponsored by 42 other Democrat senators including Tom Harkin (D-IL),
Chuck Shumer (D-NY), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Harry Reid (D-NV).
The
bill summary, as found on the congressional website, says it is “A joint
resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States
relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.” Per
the bill, “Congress shall have power to regulate the raising and spending of
money and in-kind equivalents with respect to Federal elections, including
setting limits on (1) the amount of contributions to candidates for
nomination for election to, or for election to, Federal office; and(2) the
amount of funds that may be spent by, in support of, or in opposition to such
candidates.” Then in appropriate plenipotentiary arrogance, they grant to
states the same authority at the state level. And all of this is done under
the guise of advancing “the fundamental principle of political equality for
all, and to protect the integrity of the legislative and electoral
processes.”
But
then, so as to not reap the displeasure of their friends in the mainstream
media, they have the temerity to declare that “Nothing in this article shall
be construed to grant Congress the power to abridge the freedom of the
press.” This is not surprising since, according to a new study of the media,
released last month, and conducted by two Indiana University journalism
professors, four times as many journalists self-identify with the Democrats
than those who identify themselves as Republicans. It’s obvious that the
senators pushing for this new amendment don’t mind losing a little of George
Soros’ money, as long as they still have the mainstream media in their
pocket. They apparently feel this is the only way to curtail the influence of
people like the Koch brothers, whom Harry Reid has made a nearly daily sport
of verbal dribbling on the floor of the Senate.
In
other words, Congress is appropriating to itself (contrary to the Bill of
Rights they’re attempting to amend) the authority to limit political
expression, or speech, while conveniently and strategically carving out a
pragmatic exemption for the primarily liberal mainstream media.

You Won’t Believe What Sheriff Joe Has To Say About The Influx Of
Illegals Into His State
“They’re complaining, yeah..." B. CHRISTOPHER AGEE JUNE 11, 2014
Plenty
of officials – primarily in Texas and Arizona – have sounded off in recent
weeks about the pronounced increase in
illegal immigrants from Mexico being housed in makeshift camps and bused to a
number of other locations.
One
of the most common destinations for the approximately 1,000 individuals
currently streaming across our southern border daily is Phoenix, which is
situated within the purview of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The lawman,
often described as America’s toughest sheriff, has taken a firm stance against
illegal immigration in the past. Amid the current inundation his county and
other Arizona communities are currently experiencing, he offered a few thoughts.
Some
detainees in the southern Arizona town of Nogales, for example, have complained
that the food they are being served is making them sick.
“They’re
complaining, yeah,” Arpaio said; “but why don’t they compare what’s going on
here to the country they came from? That’s why they’re coming here – because of
the bad conditions in other countries like Honduras and Guatemala.”
He is
also critical of claims that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
are following through with demands that illegals report for hearings.
“In
our jails,” he explained, “we found that about 2,000 inmates in the past
several months are in jail for several state crimes; but they’re here illegally
and we found out that over and over again they’re being released to ICE and
they keep coming back.”
Arpaio
described such experiences as evidence that “either they’re being led out the
back door or they’re being deported and they’re still coming across the
border.”
National
Association of Former Border Patrol Officers Chairman Zack Taylor said the
current trend indicates America is “arguably a lawless nation” because of its
failure to enforce existing immigration laws and the U.S. Constitution.
“Yes,
our leaders are guilty,” he said. “However, we are responsible because it is
the American voter that has placed untrustworthy people in positions of power
and kept them there when they have clearly demonstrated that they have violated
that public trust.”
Don
Ray, who heads the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition, offered a comparison that
has earned him nationwide attention this week.
“You
can’t have an influx of people like that without having an impact,” he stated.
“I think we saw that after Katrina. It’s relocation services that are really
taking place. In the case of Katrina, most of them were United State citizens
or people that were here lawfully; and now you have people that aren’t here
lawfully.”

Por
Este Otro, Que Se Declara De Esta Manera:
What
We Believe
Dave Brat fully supports the Republican
Creed, and any leader who unflinchingly upholds that Creed which reads as
follows...
We Believe…
· That the free enterprise system is the
most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,
· That all individuals are entitled to equal
rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as
citizens in a free society,
· That fiscal responsibility and budgetary
restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,
· That the Federal Government must preserve
individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
· That peace is best preserved through a
strong national defense,
· That faith in God, as recognized by our
Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
... unfortunately, however, our current
congressman, Eric Cantor, has failed to uphold that Creed, and it is time for a
change. It is time to term limit Eric Cantor.

Ocho bailarines cubanos desertan en Puerto Rico
Los integrantes del Ballet Nacional de Cuba han solicitado el
asilo en suelo estadounidense. Es la fuga masiva más numerosa en años
Alicia Alonso, verificó la falta de ocho integrantes jóvenes de la plantilla.Esta fuga masiva es la más numerosa
en años, y recuerda la de
los 10 de París en 1966, cuando una decena de artistas del ballet cubano se

AMENPER: El
Legado de Obama
El Legado de
Obama. ‘EL NARCISISTA EN JEFE’
Hablar de los fracasos de la administración de
Obama es llover sobre lo mojado, son tan visibles y evidentes que ni al más
fanatizado es imposible de ignorar, ni siquiera cerrando los ojos, porque el
ruido es mucho.
Los fracasos pasados y los que nos quedan por pasar
son inevitables dada la inflexibilidad del socialista en jefe. Lo que nos queda por hacer es como
intentar un rescate de la nación y el primer paso debe de ser salvaguardarnos
de un nuevo presidente socialista como sería el caso de la elección de la
camarada Hillary.
El legado más salvaje y peligroso es las
condiciones del mundo que nos deja Obama. La política internacional siempre
afecta a una nación domésticamente, pero nunca tanto como en esta época en que
el enemigo religiosamente está determinado a destruirnos y el arma que utiliza
es el terrorismo en nuestro suelo. Nunca durante las anteriores guerras
mundiales hubo un bombardeo en territorio americano. Con el terrorismo ya hemos
tenido varios. Las
condiciones que ha creado Obama en la política exterior son tan aberrantes que
da miedo mirarlas. La más
reciente es Iraq, Al Qaeda está tomando rápidamente el control de país. Una de las ciudades principales,
Mosul, ya es territorio de Al Qaeda. Los talibanes cada día tienen más poder en
Afganistán, en Libia, Siria y Egipto, el radicalismo Islámico es el poder
predominante. Si añadimos a
Irán a la ecuación, creo que los días de Israel, la única democracia del mundo
están contado al no ser por un milagro de Dios. ¿Quién es el culpable de todo esto,
quien es el enemigo de esta administración? Pues resulta que la persona que más ha
sido maltratada por Obama en su visita, no fue el líder de nuestro enemigo,
Irán, pero el de nuestro único aliado en la región, Israel.
Voy a pasarles cuatro escritos que salieron hoy en
el Wall Street Journal que se refieren a lo que les digo arriba lo cual
confirma lo que les digo de la importancia que tiene lo que está pasando en Irak.
Para los que quieran leerlos, estoy copiando
los cuatros. El primero
dice que el drama de Iraq tomó a la Casa Blanca de sorpresa. No entiendo por qué, era previsible
para cualquiera. El segundo es como una pregunta que
dice en una traducción libre ¿Por qué Obama toca el violín? Como una alusión
alegórica al cuando Nerón tocaba el violín durante el incendio de Roma. El tercero es un análisis de la
política de Obama tomando el caso de Iraq como ejemplo, El cuarto es del analista Michael
Knights en que se refiere a la situación actual como “Guerra de Iraq III”
No es costumbre de un periódico de la circulación y
categoría dedicar cuatro artículos en la página editorial al mismo tema, al no
ser en casos de gran importancia. Cuando
pensamos en el Medio Oriente, hay veces que pensamos en algo lejano que no
afecta diariamente a nuestras vidas, creo que tenemos que ponernos a pensar
mejor.
Iraqi Drama Catches U.S. Off Guard
The Quickly Unfolding Drama Prompted a White House Meeting Wednesday of Top Policy Makers and Military
Leaders

JULIAN E. BARNES

WASHINGTON—At a closed-door gathering of Gulf states in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia, in May, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and his Arab counterparts all
signaled agreement on one thing for the first time: Islamist forces seizing
territory in Syria and Iraq had become a regionwide menace that can't be
ignored.
What they didn't agree on was what to do about it, U.S. officials
said.The fall this week of the Iraqi cities Mosul and Tikrit to the Islamic
State of Iraq and al-Sham rebel group shows how the insurgent threat is
outpacing the response and posing a challenge to President Barack Obama's approach of limiting U.S. involvement
in foreign conflicts.
The quickly unfolding drama prompted a White House meeting Wednesday of top policy makers and military
leaders who were caught off guard by the swift collapse of Iraqi security
forces, officials acknowledged.
State Department and Pentagon officials have long warned about ISIS's
desire to create an Islamic state based in the Sunni-dominated parts of Iraq
and Syria.
Now, current and former officials say Washington's options for helping
the Iraqi army fight back are limited—both because the threat in Iraq is so
entrenched and because the U.S. hasn't invested in building up moderate allies
on the Syrian side of the border.
U.S. military leaders said they had thought that Iraqi security forces'
efforts would be enough to slow ISIS's advance. But those assumptions were
proven wrong when Iraqi troops largely abandoned their posts.
The loss of Mosul, the second-largest city in Iraq, was a strategic blow
and the U.S. doubts the Iraqi military will be able to take it back soon, the
officials said.
Top State Department officials long argued that the civil war in Syria
was the root cause of ISIS's rise because it gave them a haven in which to
operate and recruit. They said the U.S. won't make headway unless ISIS is
contained on both sides of the porous Iraqi-Syrian border.
Pentagon officials believe that Baghdad is unlikely to fall under the
current onslaught because it is a heavily-guarded stronghold of the
Shiite-dominated Iraqi government. But they noted that other Sunni extremist
groups, like the remnants of the vanquished Sunni Baathist movement, have allied
themselves with ISIS, adding to their power and building on its momentum.
Recent events in Iraq show the potential risks of the administration's
foreign policy approach. In a speech at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point
last month, Mr. Obama outlined a policy that favors a lighter U.S. military
footprint and, where possible, calls for regional allies to take the lead in
fighting terrorist threats in their backyards, so American troops don't have
to.
But allies have grown to expect the U.S. to take the lead in
counterterrorism efforts around the world, officials say, particularly in the
Gulf. "Are they willing to step up?" a senior U.S. official said.
"It is possible we are victims of our own leadership."
Critics say Mr. Obama is relying too heavily on partners of varying
capabilities and often conflicting agendas. The Iraqi army and an outgunned
moderate opposition in Syria are too weak to make a difference, in part because
of the administration's reluctance to do more to support them, current and former
officials said.
Mr. Obama's supporters say the administration's reluctance to assume
responsibility for growing swaths of ungoverned space, from Libya to Syria and
Iraq, reflects the U.S. public's and military's exhaustion after more than a
decade of conflict.
"The U.S. can no longer be the sheriff for the whole world,"
Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (D., Md.), the top Democrat on the
House intelligence committee, said in an interview. "We can't be
everywhere, and we can't always use military boots on the ground. We have to
plan with people who have boots on the ground."
The ISIS seizure of Iraqi territory illustrates how the counterterrorism
picture has shifted over the last three years.
In 2011, the U.S. withdrew its forces after failing to agree with
Baghdad on a long-term troop presence, leaving only a military presence in the
U.S. Embassy.
In July 2011, after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and before the U.S. completed its
withdrawal from Iraq, Mr. Hagel's predecessor, then-Defense SecretaryLeon Panetta, visited the region and declared that
the U.S. was within reach of "strategically defeating" al Qaeda.
Today, ISIS's network of fighters in Syria and Iraq are better trained,
equipped and manned than its predecessor, al Qaeda in Iraq, which U.S. forces
fought for years and eventually decimated at the height of the Iraq war,
according to the latest U.S. military assessments.
ISIS operates in formations, more like an army than a loose network of
fighters, said a senior U.S. counterterrorism official. The group's
sophisticated global recruitment network could allow it to redirect suicide
bombers from targets in Syria and Iraq to neighboring countries, the official
said.
Some military officials now believe ISIS is the single greatest
terrorist threat the U.S. and its allies face—stronger than the al Qaeda
affiliates in Yemen or Africa and far more powerful than al Qaeda's central leadership
in Pakistan. Other senior U.S. officials say ISIS has yet to carry out any
attacks directly targeting the U.S.
"It makes you want to kill yourself," a senior U.S. official
said of the intelligence on ISIS, which was presented by U.S. and Gulf allies
during the May meeting in Jeddah.
The Obama administration, unable to operate openly in Iraq since the
U.S. withdrawal and unwilling to intervene in Syria for fear of getting pulled
into another conflict, has left itself few options to directly confront the
growing threat, according to senior U.S. defense and intelligence officials.
But a senior U.S. official disputed the idea the Pentagon is
"hapless and helpless" to stop ISIS. The administration has pursued a
containment strategy, aimed at keeping the al Qaeda threat from spreading
beyond Syria and Iraq to neighboring states, particularly Jordan.
Following ISIS's successes in Iraq this week, many officials are
questioning whether the threat can still be contained. "Time is the real
enemy here," a senior Obama administration official said.
When Mr. Panetta made his pronouncement about al Qaeda's strategic
defeat, the revolution in Syria against the regime of Bashar al-Assad was only
a few months old and U.S. intelligence agencies had no idea that the civil war
there would become such a magnet for the world's Jihadi fighters, current and
former U.S. officials say.
At the time of the U.S. pullout, American officials were predicting a
"low boil" insurgency in Iraq that could last a decade but they
thought al Qaeda's network there could be kept under control by Iraq's army,
which the U.S. built up during the war.
Syria's civil war changed that, creating the biggest humanitarian crisis
in a generation and a counterterrorism challenge which Rep. Mike Rogers (R.,
Mich.), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, called "worse
than pre-9/11 Afghanistan."
Mr. Rogers said the threat was worse now because of the sheer quantity
of territory under direct ISIS control and because of the large number of
foreigners, including Europeans and Americans, who are joining the fight.
"Guess what? These people will come home eventually and they are
going to come home with, I believe, intentions to fulfill al Qaeda's dream for
another attack on our homeland and, certainly, another attack on our Western
and European allies," Mr. Rogers said in an interview.
Mr. Hagel's visit to Jeddah in May was part of an administration-wide
push to convince divided Gulf states to come up with a regional approach to
tackle the threat.
Arab officials say the U.S. contributed to ISIS's rise by failing to
support more moderate forces in the Syrian opposition.
U.S. officials, in turn, say the Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis and other
regional players—rivals for influence and divided over Syria strategy—funneled
their own arms and money through competing patronage networks, splintering the
opposition, while foreign fighters poured across the border from Turkey to join
ISIS.
Qatari leaders, in particular, have long played down the threat posed by
the hardline Islamists, telling their American counterparts that Jihadis
entering Syria would be dealt with later, after Mr. Assad is defeated,
according to U.S. officials. Qatari
officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Because of those longstanding differences, American officials seized on
the meeting of the minds in Jeddah about the ISIS threat as a small victory,
especially Qatar's acknowledgment during the closed-door session of the
region-wide dangers. U.S. officials said, however, that the sides remained at
odds over who should take the lead in challenging ISIS and how, waiting for
Washington to set a course.
Iraqi officials said they hoped recent events in Mosul and Tikrit would
galvanize the U.S. to step up support against ISIS. "What we are saying is
that there needs to be a sense of urgency," Iraq's ambassador to the U.S.,
Lukman Faily, told The Wall Street Journal.
But a senior U.S. military official said the White House's willingness
to intervene will depend on how directly it perceives ISIS as a growing threat
to the U.S. "You would need a major commitment of military forces to make
a difference," the official said. "There
is not a lot of appetite for that."
While Obama Fiddles
The fall of Mosul is as
big as Russia's seizure of Crimea.By
DANIEL HENNINGER
Updated June 11, 2014 7:25 p.m. ET
The fall of Mosul, Iraq, to al Qaeda
terrorists this week is as big in its implications as Russia's annexation of
Crimea. But from the Obama presidency, barely a peep.
Barack Obama is
fiddling while the world burns. Iraq, Pakistan, Ukraine, Russia, Nigeria,
Kenya, Syria. These foreign wildfires, with more surely to come, will burn
unabated for two years until the United States has a new president. The one
we've got can barely notice or doesn't care.
Last month this is what Barack
Obama said to the 1,064 graduating
cadets at the U.S. Military Academy: "Four and a half years later, as you
graduate, the landscape has changed. We have removed our troops from Iraq. We
are winding down our war in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda's leadership on the border
region between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been decimated."
That let-the-sunshine-in line must have
come back to the cadets, when news came Sunday that
the Pakistani Taliban, who operate in that border region between Pakistan and
Afghanistan, had carried out a deadly assault on the main airport in Karachi,
population 9.4 million. To clarify, the five Taliban Mr. Obama exchanged for
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are Afghan Taliban
who operate on the other side of the border.
Within 24 hours of the Taliban attack in
Pakistan, Boko Haram's terrorists in Nigeria kidnapped 20 more girls, adding to
the 270 still-missing—"our girls," as they were once known.
Then Mosul fell. The al Qaeda affiliate
known as ISIS stormed and occupied the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, population
1.8 million and not far from Turkey, Syria and Iran. It took control of the
airport, government buildings, and reportedly looted some $430 million from
Mosul's banks. ISIS owns Mosul.
Iraq's army in tatters, ISIS rolled
south Wednesday and took the city of Tikrit. It is
plausible that this Islamic wave will next take Samarra and then move on to
Baghdad, about 125 miles south of Tikrit. They will surely stop outside
Baghdad, but that would be enough. Iraq will be lost.
Now if you want to vent about "
George Bush's war," be my guest. But George Bush isn't president anymore.
Barack Obama is because he wanted the job and the responsibilities that come with
the American presidency. Up to now, burying those responsibilities in the sand
has never been in the job description.
Mosul's fall matters for what it reveals
about a terrorism whose threat Mr. Obama claims he has minimized. For starters,
the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) isn't a bunch of bug-eyed
"Mad Max" guys running around firing Kalashnikovs. ISIS is now a
trained and organized army.
The seizures of Mosul and Tikrit this
week revealed high-level operational skills. ISIS is using vehicles and
equipment seized from Iraqi military bases. Normally an army on the move would
slow down to establish protective garrisons in towns it takes, but ISIS is
doing the opposite, by replenishing itself with fighters from liberated
prisons.
An astonishing read about this group is
on the website of the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. It is an
analysis of a 400-page report, "al-Naba," published by ISIS in March.
This is literally a terrorist organization's annual report for 2013. It even
includes "metrics," detailed graphs of its operations in Iraq as well
as in Syria.
One might ask: Didn't U.S. intelligence
know something like Mosul could happen? They did. The February 2014
"Threat Assessment" by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency virtually
predicted it: "AQI/ISIL [aka ISIS] probably will attempt to take territory
in Iraq and Syria . . . as demonstrated recently in Ramadi and Fallujah."
AQI (al Qaeda in Iraq), the report says, is exploiting the weak security
environment "since the departure of U.S. forces at the end of 2011."
But to have suggested any mitigating steps to this White House would have been
pointless. It won't listen.
In March, Gen. James Mattis, then head
of the U.S. Central Command, told Congress he recommended the U.S. keep 13,600
support troops in Afghanistan; he was known not to want an announced final
withdrawal date. On May 27, President Obama said it would be 9,800 troops—for
just one year. Which guarantees that the taking of Mosul will be replayed in
Afghanistan.
Let us repeat the most quoted passage in
former Defense Secretary Robert Gates's memoir, "Duty." It describes
the March 2011 meeting with Mr. Obama about Afghanistan in the situation room.
"As I sat there, I thought: The president doesn't trust his commander,
can't stand Karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider
the war to be his," Mr. Gates wrote. "For him, it's all about getting
out."
The big Obama bet is that Americans'
opinion-polled "fatigue" with the world (if not his leadership) frees
him to create a progressive domestic legacy. This Friday Mr. Obama is giving a speech to the
Sioux Indians in Cannon Ball, N.D., about "jobs and education."
Meanwhile, Iraq may be transforming into
(a) a second Syria or (b) a restored caliphate. Past some point, the world's
wildfires are going to consume the Obama legacy. And leave his successor a nightmare.
Obama's Foreign Policy Fails His Own Test
U.S. influence is on the wane thanks to a
series of unwise decisions.
KARL ROVE
June 11, 2014 7:21 p.m. ET
'Don't do stupid sh—." That is the description of President Obama's
foreign policy, as crafted by White House message mavens and articulated by the
president himself during a recent off-the-record press briefing aboard Air
Force One in route to Asia. Mr. Obama reportedly exhorted reporters to chant it
back to him.
A crude, meaningless phrase cannot substitute for statecraft, and the
administration's actions—or often enough, its inaction—fail to meet his own
test.
It was unwise (we'll avoid using "stupid") for Mr. Obama to
say in August 2011 that Syrian President Bashar Assad should go—without having
a plan to force him out. A year later in August, Mr. Obama declared that Mr.
Assad would cross a "red line" if he used chemical weapons. When Mr.
Assad did just that, Mr. Obama didn't take immediate action. Today Mr. Assad is
more entrenched than he was.
It was also unwise when Mr. Obama refused to arm the moderate Syrian
opposition in 2011. Now that the opposition is weak and radicalized, he has
suggested that he is considering arming them.

Then there was the Iranian "Green Revolution" of 2009-10, when
Mr. Obama gave comfort to the mullahs, not those seeking freedom. It was not
smart to later weaken sanctions on Iran in return for vague promises to rein in
its nuclear program.
Setting a deadline for ending the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan that
was dictated by the American election calendar and not conditions on the ground
was not smart. Nor was it smart for Mr. Obama to sabotage his own plan for a
U.S. stay-behind force in Iraq by insisting that the Iraqi Parliament approve
the agreement. The result has been the decline of U.S. influence and an
increase for Iran's. Now al Qaeda is on the rise: Would it be taking over Mosul
and Tikrit if there was such a U.S. force?
It was unwise to insult Israel's prime minister and to believe that
pressuring Israel would increase the chances of a peace accord with the
Palestinians, who were the real obstacles to an agreement.
During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Mr. Obama managed to alienate all
sides—fromHosni Mubarak to those who overthrew him. He
supported a military campaign to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi and then walked
away, allowing Libya to slide into chaos.
The president did not hold anyone in the State Department leadership
responsible for failing to provide adequate security for the U.S. diplomatic
facilities in Benghazi in 2012. And it was not smart to blame the terrorist
attack on an obscure Internet video that hardly anyone saw.
Mr. Obama sought a "reset" of America's relationship with
Russia without a strategic framework, naïvely believing that giving Vladimir Putin what he wanted would make him
friendlier. Not the brightest move. It was not smart to unilaterally cancel
planned missile-defense facilities in the Czech Republic and Poland in 2009,
thereby alienating allies. The U.S. got nothing from Mr. Putin in return, while
he became convinced that Mr. Obama could be rolled.
When Mr. Putin rolled into Crimea, Mr. Obama was not smart to refuse
Ukraine's request for weapons—and an insult to instead offer the beleaguered
country Meals-Ready-to-Eat.
Declaring a "pivot to Asia" without providing the expressions
of American power needed to make the pivot real was unwise. So too was
insulting Canada by delaying approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and
neglecting our own hemisphere, allowing adversaries like Castro and Chávez to
fill the vacuum.
It was debatable whether to trade five top Taliban military commanders
for a captured U.S. soldier even though the president's own commission had said
the Taliban members should never be released. But it was not smart to herald
the exchange in a Rose Garden ceremony when the White House knew that there
were serious questions about whether the soldier deserted.
It is ironic that the president and his people don't seem to understand
that the phrase he chose to describe his foreign policy is an indictment of his
foreign policy. As the great philosopher Forrest Gump once said, "Stupid
is as stupid does."
There is an increasingly strong case that Iraq needs
new and boosted security assistance.
From policy
analyst Michael Knights's "Iraq War III Has Now Begun" for Foreign
Policy online, June 11:
The Obama
administration is determined to honor its campaign pledge to end the [war in
Iraq]. To that end, the White House withdrew U.S. combat troops in 2011.
However there is an increasingly strong case that Iraq needs new and boosted
security assistance, including air strikes and a massively boosted security
cooperation initiative to rebuild the shattered army and mentor it in combat.
The Middle East could see the collapse of state stability in a cross-sectarian,
multi-ethnic country of 35 million people that borders many of the region's
most important states and is the world's fastest-growing oil exporter. Any
other country with the same importance and the same grievous challenges would
get more U.S. support, but the withdrawal pledge has put Iraq in a special
category all on its own. Washington doesn't have the luxury of treating Iraq as
a special case anymore. ISIS has moved on since the days of the U.S. occupation
and they have a plan. Washington
should too.
New Study Shows Michelle Obama Thinks Americans Are
‘Idiots’
“I expected to hear a rousing
speech..."
In
her capacity as an activist first lady, Michelle Obama has made it a constant
mission to impose nutritional
mandates onto ostensibly free Americans. Her push to regulate what public
schools are allowed to serve has been an objective failure as school districts
across the nation try to opt out of the expensive program
and students complain about
unappetizing and insufficient meals.
A new study conducted
by George Washington University associate sociology professor Ivy Ken finds
that the mission of associations like the Partnership for a Healthier American
– which counts Michelle Obama as a leader – serves to treat the obese as
helpless individuals.
Her
study, titled ‘A Healthy Bottom Line: Obese Children, a Pacified Public, and
Corporate Legitimacy,” appeared recently in Social Currents. In it, Ken
determined that Obama’s group – along with the Bill Clinton-supported Alliance
for a Healthier Generation – “turn(s) overweight and obese people into idiots”
by insinuating they are too dense to make their own choices.
PHA,
which has been integral in
implementing Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ program, received the brunt of Ken’s criticism.
“The
obesity crisis,” she wrote, “is the impetus for a particular new marketing
plan, which is given a great deal of publicity, clout, and legitimacy through
the PHA.”
In
the study, Ken lambasts these associations for working with producers of fattening
foods, thereby giving companies an opportunity to declare they are part of the
solution rather than a perpetuator of the problem. She suggested her concerns
were compounded during a conference last year in which Obama discussed her
advocacy.
“I
expected to hear a rousing speech from Mrs. Obama,” she wrote; “but I was
unprepared for the massive coordination apparent in the PHA’s message and the
approval that the conference’s public health-focused attendees bestowed upon
all the corporate speakers at the event.”
The
report revealed that PHA is affiliated with around 50 corporations – such as
Sara Lee – while AFHG includes about 120 corporate partners, including Pepsi.
Companies who wish to revamp a reputation as a junk food producer, she noted,
can align themselves with one of these organizations as an easy and
noncommittal way to achieve their goal.
“Corporations
should have to earn a place at the table of influence,” she explained, “not by
buying it, but by spending decades not producing fat-, sugar-, and salt-laden
products.”
The
fact that they are taking steps to change the public’s perception, however,
suggests to Ken that these companies are experiencing what she calls “corporate
desperation.”
Americans
can continue their offense against these companies, she explained, by “not
letting corporations set the agenda or write the terms.”
Whether
or not one agrees with all of Ken’s assertions, her underlying contention that
groups like PHA have produced few positive results has been a common complaint
among many critics.
