Obama To Iraqi Christians, U.S. Allies: ‘You’re On Your Own’
Last week, members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), who have been fighting simultaneous wars against the Iraqi Government and the Assad Regime, began marking a “ن”, pronounced “noon,” and standing for “Nazarenes,” on the door of Christians in Mosul, Iraq, as a signal that they would be driven out or killed. NBC news reports, the last Christian may already have left, or been killed, marking the first time in around 2000 years that Christians have not been present in this ancient city.
The symbol “ن” became a trend on Facebook and Twitter, similar to #bringbackourgirls, which was famously tweeted by Michelle Obama.
Yet there was no tweet in favor of the persecuted Iraqi Christians from the Obama team. Instead, to add insult to injury,
while the Christians of Mosul were being driven out and murdered, the Obama administration sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner, asking that the Authorization of the Use of Force (AUMF) in Iraq be repealed. The message to Iraqi Christians,
who have explicitly asked for military invention to save their lives, was much the same message the Obama administration has sent to others around the world, namely, “You’re on your own.”
This is not the first time that the Obama administration has worked against the clear interests of Christians persecuted by Muslim extremists, yet it is not likely a lack of sympathy for Christians thatÂ’s behind the Obama administrationÂ’s indifference, either in Iraq or in Egypt.
It is an unwillingness to accept responsibility for creating the problem. Since ISIS began vivisecting Iraq, after roughly 6 years of relative peace, and Joe Biden declaring Iraq one of the Obama administration’s “greatest achievements,”
the hysterical reaction on the left amounts to — what else? — blaming Bush and telling any supporter of the Iraq War, (including, presumably, an only recently repentant Hillary Clinton) to shut up.
