Variations on a Theme

[Flanders]

It’s not hard understanding rank & file Democrats defending Hussein’s eligibility. It is impossible to understand why they remain noticeably quiet about his betrayals? Either they agree with his policies or they are too stupid to see what he is doing? I believe they agree with him. Even the dumbest among them cannot deny Hussein’s betrayals when a Democrat party house organ questions his war policy:

A stunning Washington Post piece on Sunday documented how we've been secretly releasing captured combatants from Afghan jails to placate the Taliban and other insurgent groups and entice them to negotiate with us. Administration officials wouldn't say if these terrorist thugs went on to murder our troops, probably because they have.

Tara Servatius over at the American Thinker goes on to say:

Why are we so interested in kissing up to these thugs? Obama ultimately intends for the Taliban to rule Afghanistan again, a development that could destabilize the whole region.

It is part of an administration policy called "legitimate Islamism," and conservatives need to wake up and understand what it means. Basically, as explained by an Obama surrogate in the National Journal recently, Obama is seeking to put radical Islamists in power in country after country on the theory that if they have a "legitimate" government to run, they won't join Al Qaida and attack us.

I have never seen a more remarkable piece of doublespeak than this: “. . . if they have a "legitimate" government to run, they won't join Al Qaida and attack us.”

Hussein & Company want Muslim fundamentalists to attack —— well-knowing that he and his fellow Democrats will prevent an all-out war, or at the very least fallback on the Vietnam/Iraq template.

Right from the start Hussein & Company, along with the sacred International community, opposed the coalition fighting in Afghanistan winning a decisive victory. Note that the war in Afghanistan is a UN-approved military action; so I was puzzled by Hussein turning against the UN’s approval until I remembered that the UN’s approval was given with reluctance. Set Hussein’s foreign policy to music and you’ll end up with Variations on a Theme. Afghanistan run by the Taliban is nothing more than a variation of the Muslim Brotherhood running Egypt and Libya:

So far, Obama has succeeded in overthrowing or destabilizing secular forces everywhere his administration has meddled except Afghanistan. From Libya to Egypt to Yemen, the Obama administration has turned its back on or actively removed leaders who -- whether we like them or not -- have kept radical Islamists in check. In their place, administration officials have nurtured the radical Muslim Brotherhood and other like-minded groups. In Afghanistan, the Taliban are the administration's radical Islamic overlords of choice.

The Evidence: Obama Is Undermining U.S. Troops in Afghanistan to Put the Taliban in Power

Prior to the truth about Afghanistan eking out, Hussein’s failures were sold as great successes in democracy-building. How many times have you heard how superb Secretary of Clinton was in handling Egypt and Libya? Hell, to hear liberals tell it she makes Thomas Jefferson look like a country bumpkin. The fact is: Everything Hussein and Clinton touch betrays the American people not to mention the troops who will be killed fighting a war their commander in chief does not want to win.

With so many proclaimed national security successes, it's interesting to note how America's best and brightest have actually been treated by the current administration. Our warriors have endured extreme hardships from Justice Department investigations, national defense cuts, and actual persecution.

"President Obama's decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security" (former Vice President Dick Cheney).

No matter the variation on Hussein’s theme, no matter who plays it, the music always encourages enemies and weakens America. Bottom line: Hussein ain’t Rachmaninoff:
