excerpts:
- Obama’s foolish policy of forcing Mubarak out of office precipitously without giving non-Islamist parties time to organize has resulted in Islamists achieving a sweeping victory in the first round of parliamentary elections.
- This all was very predictable. In fact, I predicted it while Obama was insisting that Mubarak leave ”yesterday,” NY Times columnists were writing delusional columns about the Arab Street and the Arab Spring, and venomous anti-Israeli pundits at Media Matters and elsewhere complained that the “Israel Lobby” was trying to stifle freedom.
Comment:
I predicted that something worse would take its place, and now, it has. I surprise myself once again.
There's a darker view of Obama than the one of mere incompetence. Just remembering a few things about Obama's background is more than enough to give credence to the idea that this was not mistake by Obama.
What went wrong? It is a long story. It didn't begin in 2009 when Obama took office. It has been building for a long time now.
In the 2000 election, Lamar Alexander complained about the nomination process. It was hijacked by money and big media. Something needs to get this turned around.
