Stop Foreign Aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya
FY2013 Budget and Appropriations
We're watching the disintegration of Obama's Foreign Policy along to two other institutions right in front of our eyes. "We're watching the disintegration of a presidency. We are looking at blatant, uncompromised incompetence. And we are witnessing corruption of another institution, the so-called mainstream media." www.rushlimbaugh.com

PAKISTAN
The legislation allocates $850 million for a fund to help Pakistan's military develop counter-insurgency capabilities to fight Islamist militants within its borders. This is actually a slight increase from last year's $800 million but less than the $1.1 billion President Obama requested for the fund in 2012.
However, a massive defense bill Congress passed on Thursday freezes 60 percent of this amount, or $510 billion, until the U.S. defense secretary provides lawmakers with assurances that Pakistan is working to counter improvised explosive devices (IEDs). U.S. lawmakers say that many Afghan bombs that kill U.S. troops are made with fertilizer smuggled by militants across the border from Pakistan into Afghanistan.
No number was included for economic aid to Pakistan, leaving the Obama administration to specify the amount in consultation with Congress. This is a comedown for Pakistan; in each of the past three years, about $1 billion or more in economic aid for Pakistan was written into spending bills, in part to meet pledges made under 2009 legislation sponsored by Senators John Kerry and Richard Lugar.
Economic as well as security aid was made conditional on Pakistan's cooperation in fighting militants such as the Haqqani network. Many lawmakers have been calling for aid to Pakistan to be reduced since U.S. special forces found and killed al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani military town May 2.
The Administration’s FY2013 budget requests $2.2 billion in foreign operations funds for
Pakistan, including $800 million for the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund (PCCF)designated as OCO. This is about 6% more than the FY2012 enacted level. According to the
Administration, the request reflects a modest increase in civilian assistance focused on energy,
economic growth, stabilization, education and health, but remains well below the levels
authorized in the Enhance Partnership With Pakistan Act of 2009. The House legislation does notspecify an aid level for Pakistan, and prohibits all economic and security assistance if Pakistan is
uncooperative in anti-terrorism and other efforts. The Senate bill includes $842.3 million15 in
foreign operations funds for Pakistan, including $50 million for the PCCF (reflecting the
significant unobligated funds still in the pipeline, rather than lack of support for the activities
funded) and continues existing aid restrictions. The Senate bill also includes new conditions on
aid to Pakistan, including withholding $33 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) to
Pakistan until the Secretary of State certifies that Dr. Shakil Afridi has been released from prison
and cleared of all charges related to providing assistance to the United States in locating Osama
bin Laden.
EGYPT
Aid to Egypt is set at $1.3 billion, similar to previous years, but with conditions attached. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is required to certify that the Egyptian government is supporting the transition to a civilian government, including holding free and fair elections.
The secretary of state also must certify that Egypt's government is meeting its obligation under the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. She can waive the requirements if she feels it is in the U.S. national security interests.
LIBYA
$1.5 million – on aid to Libya.

We made a mistake sending money to Libya and Egypt, says Congressman Burton
In Libya, they killed our Ambassador and scaled the walls. They burned our flag. They did it in Egypt, and they held up the al Qaeda flag; and we're going to give them money. It makes no sense", Congressman Burton.
Congressman Burton asked for and was given permission to address the U.S. House of Representatives for a few minutes on September 13, 2012 .
What he said shocked some members of Congress.
“Mr. Speaker, I'm really disappointed today. We passed a CR for 6 months, and it contained language in there that was supposedly designed to keep Libya and Egypt from getting funds. My colleagues overwhelmingly voted for it. I do not criticize them for that. But I do feel very strongly in my heart that we made a mistake by not, in the Rules Committee, passing an amendment which would make sure that the money in that bill for foreign assistance did not go to Libya or Egypt”, he said.
“I read the document that they put out, and it does not prohibit the money from getting to Libya and Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood runs Egypt. They hate the United States, and their President has said he wanted to model his country after Iran”.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is an Islamist religious, political, and social movement. Its credo is, "God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations” (see FAS intelligence report: Muslim Brothers - Muslim Brotherhood http://www.fas.org/irp/world/para/mb.htm).
Addressing the outrage in Libya the Congressman didn’t mince any words.
“In Libya, they killed our Ambassador and scaled the walls. They burned our flag. They did it in Egypt, and they held up the al Qaeda flag; and we're going to give them money. It makes no sense. If the American people were paying attention to this right now, they would raise hell”, he said.

Libya stands to receive $1.5 million in U.S. aid in fiscal 2013, a $1 million decrease from 2012. Egypt receives approximately $1.5 billion, with an increase of $7 million requested for fiscal year 2013. (http://foreignassistance.gov/CountryIntro.aspx).

(1) Subject: A project for an explanatory memorandum for the General Strategic goal
for the Group in North America mentioned in the long-term plan
One: The Memorandum is derived from:
1-The general strategic goal of the Group in America which was approved by the Shura Council
and the Organizational Conference for the year [I9871 is "Enablement of Islam in North
America, meaning: establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim
Brotherhood which adopts Muslims' causes domestically and globally, and which works to
expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims' efforts, presents
Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is".
2-The priority that is approved by the Shura Council for the work of the Group in its current and
former session which is "Settlement".
3-The positive development with the brothers in the Islamic Circle in an attempt to reach a unity
of merger.
4-The constant need for thinking and future planning, anattempt to read it and working to
"shape" the present to comply and suit the needs and challenges of the future.
5-The paper of his eminence, the General Masul, may God keep him, which he recently sent to
the members of the Council.
Two: An Introduction to the Ex~lanatorv Memorandum:
-In order to begin with the explanation, we must "summon" the following question and place it
in front of our eyes as its relationship is important and necessary with the strategic goal and the
explanation project we are embarking on. The question we are facing is: "How do you like to see
the Islam Movement in North America in ten years?", or "taking along" the following sentence
when planning and working, "Islamic Work in North America in the year (2000): A Strategic
Vision".
Also, we must summon and take along "elements" of the general strategic goal of the Group in
North America and I will intentionally repeat them in numbers. They are:
[l-Establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
2-Adopting Muslims' causes domestically and globally.
3-Expanding the observant Muslim base.
4- Unifying and directing Muslims' efforts.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000416
5-Presenting Islam as a civilization alternative
6-Supporting the establishment of the global Islamic State wherever it is].
-It must be stressed that it has become clear and emphatically known that all is in agreement that
we must "settle" or "enable" Islam and its Movement in this part of the world.
-Therefore, a joint understanding of the meaning of settlement or enablement must be adopted,
through which and on whose basis we explain the general strategic goal with its six elements for
the Group in North America.
Three: The Concept of Settlement:
This term was mentioned in the Group's "dictionary" and documents with various meanings in
spite of the fact that everyone meant one thing with it. We believe that the understanding of the
essence is the same and we will attempt here to give the word and its "meanings" a practical
explanationwith a practical Movement tone, and not a philosophical linguistic explanation,
while stressing that this explanation of ours is not complete until our explanation of "the process"
of settlement itself is understood which is mentioned in the following paragraph. We briefly say
the following:
Settlement: "That Islam and its Movement become a part of the homeland it lives in".
Establishment: "That Islam turns into firmly-rooted organizations on whose bases civilization,
structure and testimony are built".
Stability: "That Islam is stable in the land on which its people move".
Enablement: "That Islam is enabled within the souls, minds and the lives of the people of the
country in which it moves".
Rooting: "That Islam is resident and not a passing thing, or rooted "entrenched" in the soil
of the spot where it moves and not a strange plant to it".
Four: The Process of Settlement:
-In order for Islam and its Movement to become "a part of the homeland" in which it lives,
"stable" in its land, "rooted" in the spirits and minds of its people, "enabled" in the live of its
society and has firmly-established "organizations" on which the Islamic structure is built and
with which the testimony of civilization is achieved, the Movement must plan and struggle to
obtain "the keys" and the tools of this process in carry out this grand mission as a "Civilization
Jihadist" responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and -on top of them -the Muslim
Brotherhood in this country. Among these keys and tools are the following:
1-Adopting the concept of settlement and understanding its practical meanings:
The Explanatory Memorandum focused on the Movement and the realistic dimension of the
process of settlement and its practical meanings without paying attention to the difference in
understanding between the resident and the non-resident, or who is the settled and the non-settled
Bate #ISE-SW 1B1010000417
(3) and we believe that what was mentioned in the long-term plan in that regards suffices.
2- Making a fundamental shift in our thinking and mentality in order to suit the challenges
of the settlement mission.
What is meant with the shift -which is a positive expression -is responding to the grand
challenges of the settlement issues. We believe that any transforming response begins with the
method of thinking and its center, the brain, first. In order to clarify what is meant with the shift
as a key to qualify us to enter the field of settlement, we say very briefly that the following must
be accomplished:
3-Understanding the historical stages in which the Islamic Ikhwani activism went through
in this country:
The writer of the memorandum believes that understanding and comprehending the historical
stages of the Islamic activism which was led and being led by the Muslim Brotherhood in this
continent is a very important key in working towards settlement, through which the Group
observes its march, the direction of its movement and the curves and turns of its road. We will
suffice here with mentioning the title for each of these stages [The title expresses the prevalent
characteristic of the stage] [Details maybe mentioned in another future study]. Most likely, the
stages are:
A- The stage of searching for self and determining the identity.
B-The stage of inner build-up and tightening the organization.
C-The stage of mosques and the Islamic centers.
D-The stage of building the Islamic organizations -the first phase.
E-The stage of building the Islamic schools -the first phase.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000418
F-The stage of thinking about the overt Islamic Movement -the first phase.
G-The stage of openness to the other Islamic movements and attempting to reach a formula for
dealing with them -the first phase.
H-The stage of reviving and establishing the Islamic organizations -the second phase.
We believe that the Group is embarking on this stage in its second phase as it has to open the
door and enter as it did the first time.
4-Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The
Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and
destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious
over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and
have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work
wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that
destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be
equal.
5-Understanding that we cannot perform the settlement mission by ourselves or away from
people:
A mission as significant and as huge as the settlement mission needs magnificent and exhausting
efforts. With their capabilities, human, financial and scientific resources, the Ikhwan will not be
able to carry out this mission alone or away from people and he who believes that is wrong, and
God knows best. As for the role of the Ikhwan, it is the initiative, pioneering, leadership, raising
the banner and pushing people in that direction. They are then to work to employ, direct and
unify Muslims' efforts and powers for this process. In order to do that, we must possess a mastery
of the art of "coalitions", the art of "absorption" and the principles of "cooperation".
6-The necessity of achieving a union and balanced gradual merger between private work
and public work: We believe that what was written about this subject is many and is enough. But, it needs a time
and a practical frame so that what is needed is achieved in a gradual and a balanced way that is
compatible with the process of settlement.
Bate #HE-SW 1B1010000418 (Cont'd)
7-The conviction that the success of the settlement of Islam and its Movement in this
country is a success to the global Islamic Movement and a true support for the sought-after
state, God willing: There is a conviction -with which this memorandum disagrees -that our focus in attempting to
settle Islam in this country will lead to negligence in our duty towards the global Islamic
Movement in supporting its project to establish the state. We believe that the reply is in two
segments: One -The success of the Movement in America in establishing an observant Islamic
base with power and effectiveness will be the best support and aid to the global Movement
project.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B1010000419
(5) And the second -is the global Movement has not succeeded yet in "distributing roles" to its
branches, stating what is the needed from them as one of the participants or contributors to the
project to establish the global Islamic state. The day this happens, the children of the American
Lkhwani branch will have far-reaching impact and positions that make the ancestors proud.
8-Absorbing Muslims and winning them with all of their factions and colors in America
and Canada for the settlement project, and making it their cause, future and the basis of
their Islamic life in this part of the world:
This issues requires from us to learn "the art of dealing with the others", as people are different
and people in many colors. We need to adopt the principle which says, "Take from people ... the
best they have", their best specializations, experiences, arts, energies and abilities. By people here
we mean those within or without the ranks of individuals and organizations. The policy of
"taking" should be with what achieves the strategic goal and the settlement process. But the big
challenge in front of us is: how to connect them all in "the orbit" of our plan and "the circle" of
our Movement in order to achieve "the core" of our interest. To me, there is no choice for us
other than alliance and mutual understanding of those who desire from our religion and those
who agree from ow belief in work. And the U.S. Islamic arena is full of those waiting ...., the
pioneers.
What matters is bringing people to the level of comprehension of the challenge that is facing us
as Muslims in this country, conviction of our settlement project, and understanding the benefit of
agreement, cooperation and alliance. At that time, if we ask for money, a lot of it would come,
and if we ask for men, they would come in lines, What matters is that ow plan is "the criterion
and the balance" in our relationship with others.
Here, two points must be noted; the first one: we need to comprehend and understand the balance
of the Islamic powers in the U.S. arena [and this might be the subject of a future study]. The
second point: what we reached with the brothers in "ICNA" is considered a step in the right
direction, the beginning of good and the first drop that requires growing and guidance.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000419 (Cont'd)
9-Re-examining our organizational and administrative bodies, the type of leadership and
the method of selecting it with what suits the challenges of the settlement mission:
The memorandum will be silent about details regarding this item even though it is logical and
there is a lot to be said about it,
10-Growing and developing our resources and capabilities, our financial and human
resources with what suits the magnitude of the grand mission:
If we examined the human and the financial resources the Ikhwan alone own in this country, we
and others would feel proud and glorious. And if we add to them the resources of our friends and
allies, those who circle in our orbit and those waiting on our banner, we would realize that we are
able to open the door to settlement and walk through it seeking to make Almighty God's word the
highest.
Bate #HE-SW 1B10/0000420
11-Utilizing the scientific method in planning, thinking and preparation of studies needed
for the process of settlement:
Yes, we need this method, and we need many studies which aid in this civilization Jihadist
operation. We will mention some of them briefly:
-The history of the Islamic presence in America.
-The history of the Islamic Ikhwani presence in America.
-Islamic movements, organizations and organizations: analysis and criticism.
-The phenomenon of the Islamic centers and schools: challenges, needs and statistics.
-Islamic minorities.
-Muslim and Arab communities.
-The U.S. society: make-up and politics.
-The U.S. society's view of Islam and Muslims ...And many other studies which we can direct
our brothers and allies to prepare, either through their academic studies or through their
educational centers or organizational tasking. What is important is that we start.
12-Agreeing on a flexible, balanced and a clear "mechanism" to implement the process of
settlement within a specific, gradual and balanced "time frame" that is in-line with the demands
and challenges of the process of settlement.
13-Understanding the U.S. society from its different aspects an understanding that "qualifies" us
to perform the mission of settling our Dawa' in its country "and growing it" on its land.
14-Adopting a written "jurisprudence" that includes legal and movement bases, principles,
policies and interpretations which are suitable for the needs and challenges of the process of
settlement.
15- Agreeing on "criteria" and balances to be a sort of "antennas" or "the watch tower" in order to
make sure that all of our priorities, plans, programs, bodies, leadership, monies and activities
march towards the process of the settlement.
16-Adopting a practical, flexible formula through which our central work complements our
domestic work.
17-Understanding the role and the nature of work of "The Islamic Center" in every city
with what achieves the goal of the process of settlement:
The center we seek is the one which constitutes the "axis" of our Movement, the "perimeter" of
the circle of our work, our "balance center", the "base" for our rise and our "Dar al-Arqam" to
educate us, prepare us and supply our battalions in addition to being the "niche" of our prayers.
Page 10 of 18
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000421
(7) This is in order for the Islamic center to turn -in action not in words -into a seed "for a small
Islamic society" which is a reflection and a mirror to our central organizations. The center ought
to turn into a "beehive" which produces sweet honey. Thus, the Islamic center would turn into a
place for study, family, battalion, course, seminar, visit, sport, school, social club, women
gathering, kindergarten for male and female youngsters, the office of the domestic political
resolution, and the center for distributing our newspapers, magazines, books and our audio and
visual tapes.
In brief we say: we would like for the Islamic center to become "The House of Dawa"' and "the
general center" in deeds first before name. As much as we own and direct these centers at the
continent level, we can say we are marching successfully towards the settlement of Dawa' in this
country.
Meaning that the "center's" role should be the same as the "mosque's" role during the time of
God's prophet, God's prayers and peace be upon him, when he marched to "settle" the Dawa' in
its first generation in Madina. from the mosque, he drew the Islamic life and provided to the
world the most magnificent and fabulous civilization humanity knew.
This mandates that, eventually, the region, the branch and the Usra turn into "operations rooms"
for planning, direction, monitoring and leadership for the Islamic center in order to be a role
model to be followed.
18- Adopting a system that is based on "selecting" workers, "role distribution" and "assigning"
positions and responsibilities is based on specialization, desire and need with what achieves the
process of settlement and contributes to its success.
19- Turning the principle of dedication for the Masuls of main positions within the Group into a
rule, a basis and a policy in work. Without it, the process of settlement might be stalled [Talking
about this point requires more details and discussion].
20-Understanding the importance of the "Organizational" shift in our Movement work,
and doing Jihad in order to achieve it in the real world with what serves the process of
settlement and expedites its results, God Almighty's willing:
The reason this paragraph was delayed is to stress its utmost importance as it constitutes the heart
and the core of this memorandum. It also constitutes the practical aspect and the true measure of
our success or failure in our march towards settlement. The talk about the organizations and the
"organizational" mentality or phenomenon does not require much details. It suffices to say that
the first pioneer of this phenomenon was our prophet Mohamed, God's peace, mercy and
blessings be upon him, as he placed the foundation for the first civilized organization which is
the mosque, which truly became "the comprehensive organization". And this was done by the
pioneer of the contemporary Islamic Dawa', Imam martyr Hasan al-Banna, may God have mercy
on him, when he and his brothers felt the need to "re-establish" Islam and its movement anew,
leading him to establish organizations with all their kinds: economic, social, media, scouting,
Page 11 of 18
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000421 (Cont'd)
professional and even the military ones. We must say that we are in a country which understands
no language other than the language of the organizations, and one which does not respect or give
weight to any group without effective, functional and strong organizations.
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000422
It is good fortune that there are brothers among us who have this "trend", mentality or inclination
to build the organizations who have beat us by action and words which leads us to dare say
honestly what Sadat in Egypt once said, "We want to build a country of organizations" -a word
of right he meant wrong with. I say to my brothers, let us raise the banner of truth to establish
right "We want to establish the Group of organizations", as without it we will not able to put our
feet on the true path.
-And in order for the process of settlement to be completed, we must plan and work from now to
equip and prepare ourselves, our brothers, our apparatuses, our sections and our committees in
order to turn into comprehensive organizations in a gradual and balanced way that is suitable
with the need and the reality. What encourages us to do that -in addition to the aforementioned -
is that we possess "seeds" for each organization from the organization we call for [See
attachment number (I)].
-All we need is to tweak them, coordinate their work, collect their elements and merge their
efforts with others and then connect them with the comprehensive plan we seek.
For instance,
We have a seed for a "comprehensive media and art"organization: we own a print + advanced
typesetting machine -t audio and visual center + art production office + magazines in Arabic and
English [The Horizons, The Hope, The Politicians, Ila Falastine, Press Clips, al-Zaytouna,
Palestine Monitor, Social Sciences Magazines.,.] + art band + photographers + producers +
programs anchors +journalists + in addition to other media and art experiences".
Another example:
We have a seed for a "comprehensive Dawa' educational" organization: We have the Daw'a
section in ISNA + Dr. Jamal Badawi Foundation + the center run by brother Harned al-Ghazali +
the Dawa' center the Dawa' Committee and brother Shaker al-Sayyed are seeking to establish
now + in addition to other Daw'a efforts here and there...".
And this applies to all the organizations we call on establishing.
-The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or "scattered" elements into
comprehensive, stable, "settled" organizations that are connected with our Movement and which
fly in our orbit and take orders from ow guidance. This does not prevent -but calls for -each
central organization to have its local branches but its connection with the Islamic center in the
city is a must.

-What is needed is to seek to prepare the atmosphere and the means to achieve "the merger" so
that the sections, the committees, the regions, the branches and the Usras are eventually the heart
and the core of these organizations.
Or, for the shift and the change to occur as follows:

-We would then seek and struggle in order to make each one of these above-mentioned
organizations a "comprehensive organization" throughout the days and the years, and as long as
we are destined to be in this country. What is important is that we put the foundation and we will
be followed by peoples and generations that would finish the march and the road but with a
clearly-defined guidance.

Egypt and Libya, Obama's Frankenstein
By Camie Davis
In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, Victor
Frankenstein is responsible for creating a monster. Realizing his mistake,
however, Victor becomes horrified of his own creation. Victor grows even more
despondent with the knowledge that the monster he created is guilty of
murder.
This is the point in the story where the similarities between Victor and Obama, who have both created monsters, end. One is horrified and remorseful over the monster he created. The other feels no remorse. It is left to the reader to decide if this lack of remorse is due to Obama's inability to recognize that he has created a monster. Or is remorse missing because the monster is exactly what Obama intended to create in the first place?
The civilized world was horrified, yet not surprised to see the monster Obama created rear its ugly head in Egypt and in Libya. Many were equally disturbed by the actions of an administration bent on convincing people that the monster is tame and wouldn't hurt a fly if only people would quit prodding it with the stick of religious bigotry. After all, monsters have feelings too.
The Obama administration acted quickly to distance itself from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo's apology that seemed to justify the monster's behavior in Egypt. After all, it is an election year. In an interview with Steve Kroft for 60 Minutes, Obama said of the apology, "In an effort to cool the situation down, it didn't come from me, it didn't come from Secretary Clinton. It came from people on the ground who are potentially in danger."
In other words, "I didn't try to pat the monster on the head. And I didn't try to blame the people who made the monster mad." When in fact, that's precisely what Obama has done and taught his administration to do from the minute he was sworn into office.
Since coming into office, Obama has used the platform of his presidency to continuously laud Islam, portray Muslims as victims of Islamophobia, and to defend the rights of Muslims around the world before defending the rights of U.S. citizens. He has become the poster boy and puppet of the Organization of the Islamic Conference who for over a decade has systematically worked to criminalize the "defamation of Islam" and to protect Islam from "blasphemy," i.e. telling the truth about it. In yearly resolutions at the UN on "combating defamation of religions" the OIC complains that, "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism." That claim would be hysterical if it weren't so tragic.
To the delight of the OIC, Obama and his administration have worked hard to reprogram America's collective consciousness regarding Islam by instructing us that: Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, Muslims who kill in the name of Islam or Mohammad don't really represent Islam, and that America never has been, nor will be in a war with Islam. Such are the nuts and bolts of building a Frankenstein.
In his 2009 Cairo speech Obama said, "I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." He continued, "As a student of history I understand more about civilization's debt to Islam . . . I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story." He failed to mention that the most significant chapter of that story happened on 9/11/01.
At a White House interfaith dinner honoring Ramadan in 2009, Obama reiterated, "The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country."
In 2010 in Mumbai, India, Obama said, "Islam embodies a religion of peace, fairness and tolerance." How appropriate to say in a country where hundreds of people have been killed by Islamic terrorists. Who cares about the feelings of the victims' families? It's the Muslims' feelings. stupid.
The same sentiment was echoed in his address to the Turkish Parliament and in Indonesia. He said, "Let me say this as clearly as I can. The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country."
Helping him build the monster, John Brennan of Homeland Security and Counterrorism said, "Tolerance and diversity define Islam," while Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough added that mosques were a "typically American place."
Backing his rhetoric with policy, Obama gave NASA a new charge. The 21st century final frontier; going forth into Muslim countries to bolster their feelings. NASA administrator Charles Bolden said in an interview with al-Jazeera that NASA was not only a space exploration agency but also an, "earth improvement agency." Bolden said, "When I became the NASA administrator, Obama charged me with three things. One, he wanted me to help inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." There's that touchy feely thing again. Is it any wonder that workers at the US Embassy in Cairo were worried about the feelings of Muslims?
Besides NASA, Obama's monster reared its head in the Department of Justice. In 2011, Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole said, "I recently directed all components of the Department of Justice to re-evaluate their training efforts in a range of areas, from community outreach to national security." This "reevaluation" included the removal of all references to Islam in connection with any investigation of jihad terror activity perpetrated by, you guessed it, adherents to Islam. Think Fort Hood. A Muslim cries "Allahu Akbar!" before killing soldiers and citizens on U.S. soil, but the administration won't call it an act of jihad or terrorism.
In helping Cole, Dwight C. Holton, former assistant U.S. Attorney, emphasized that training materials for the FBI would be purged of everything politically incorrect, i.e. purged of any insinuation that a terrorist act might be committed in the name of Islam. Holton said, "I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated." Imagine if he condemned acts of terrorism as strongly as he condemned political incorrectness.
Holton said that he discussed the FBI training materials with Attorney General Eric Holder. He told Holder that the materials were "egregiously false," and that Holder was "firmly committed to making sure that this is over" and that "we're going to fix it." Holton said that this "fix" was particularly urgent because the rejected training materials "pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam." Yet another example of blaming the supposed stick that prods the monster, rather than blaming the monster.
The aforementioned Deputy NSA Denis McDonough reiterated Obama's focus on America's indebtedness to Islam, rather than finding it necessary for national security to focus on the dangers of Islamists. In praise of Obama's Cairo speech, McDonough said, "So the message the President wants to send is not different, frankly, than the one he's been sending since he was inaugurated, namely that we believe that this is an opportunity for us in the United States, who, frankly, have arrived at a place here based on many of the advances that come out of the Muslim world, be it science out of Baghdad, be it math and technology out of Al-Andalus or otherwise."
Three years later is it any surprise that McDonough chose to call the video used as justification for the attacks in Egypt and Libya "truly abhorrent" rather than calling the attacks abhorrent? Yet, another example of blaming the supposed stick that prods the monster rather than the actions of the monster. While describing the utopian vision of learning to live with the monster, McDonough said that he endorsed efforts to create "a world where the dignity of all people and all faiths is respected," i.e., a world where people shut-up and tolerate the murderous behavior of Muslims who get their feelings hurt. "This work takes on added urgency given the truly abhorrent video that has offended so many people -- Muslims, and non-Muslims alike -- in our country and around the world."
After the horrors committed by the monster in Egypt and Libya, Obama told Egyptian President Morsi that he still "rejects efforts to denigrate Islam." No surprise there.
What is most telling about this sordid, pathetic tale is the way that some of the embassy officials chose to use their time as the monster neared the embassy. They tweeted. In their Obama-induced delusion they actually thought a tweet would stop the monster their leader had created. That is one of the scariest parts of the tale. That an adult, working for the U.S. government, could be that stupid, passive and appeasing when being threatened and then attacked. And Obama is counting on "we the people" being that stupid, passive and appeasing too.

Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky moves amendment to stop aid to Pak, Egypt and Libya
Washington, Sept 14
An influential American Senator has moved a Congressional amendment to stop all US aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya – totaling about USD 4 billion per annum – and divide the fund equally for veterans jobs bill and deficit reduction programme.
Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, who has been trying to strip Pakistan of all US aid till Dr Shakil Afridi is released from jail, made another attempt by introducing a new amendment to the veterans jobs bill.
"I'm not saying don't have relations with Pakistan. Many in Pakistan have been sympathetic to our country. Many in Pakistan have helped our country. But many in Pakistan with a wink and a nod look at us, take our money and laugh at us. They cash our check and they laugh at us," Senator Paul said moving his amendment to the Veterans Jobs Bill.
"If we're really talking about veterans benefits here, if we're really serious about providing money for the veterans, let's take it from an area which is insulting to veterans. Let's take it from a country that insults every veteran in this country. Let's take it from Pakistan," he said.
"In Pakistan, Shakil Afridi helped us to get Osma bin Laden. He's been tortured, kept in prison and now been given a life sentence. I’ve asked one simple thing. I would like to have 15 minutes, have a discussion and have a vote on whether or not we should continue to send money to Pakistan. I've said
we should send not one penny to Pakistan until this doctor is released," Paul said on the Senate floor yesterday.
"We offered at one time a USD 50 million reward for helping getting bin Laden. Young men and women sacrificed their limbs to go to Afghanistan. Many sacrificed their lives to go to Pakistan to get bin Laden. And this man who helped get bin Laden, we're now letting him rot in a prison,"he said.
"Is this how we treat a friend of America? I've asked for 15 minutes to have a vote. Why don't they want to have a vote? Because they know the American people are with me. If you ask questions, should we send money to countries that don’t like us and disrespect us? Eighty per cent to 90 per cent of the American people are with me on this. They're afraid to vote on this issue personally. I've been giving them a chance to debate this for six weeks," he said.
"We spent the whole week not having a debate because they don't want to have a vote because they know if they vote their position, which is to send your money to Pakistan and to Egypt and to Libya, that the American people won't like it. So they're not willing to stand up in the broad daylight and vote to continue this aid," Paul alleged.
