Fruits Of Obama's Diplomacy...New NATO Chief To Apologize To Islamic World For Blasphemy

Much was made of Obama's awesome powers of diplomacy yesterday when he worked a deal to allow Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen become Secratery General of NATO over the opposition of Turkey's President Abdullah Gul.

Why did Gul oppose Rasmussen? Because Rasmussen defended the right of newspapers to publish the cartoons of blasphemy.

Well, today the other shoe dropped and we see the price of Obama's "smart", "tough" diplomacy.

Rasmussen will apologize to the Islamic world tomorrow in Istanbul.

Here's a newsflash, NATO doesn't exist so bureaucrats have a reason to hang out in Brussels. It exists to defend western values, you know, like freedom of speech.

I'm starting to miss Jimmy Carter.

1 I feel your pain, but I'm only at the "missing Bill Clinton" stage so far. I figure another couple of months of this, though, and I'll be with you on the "missing Jimmy Carter" emotion. But, seriously, ewwwwwww!

3 Okay, I'm slamming the girl card down hard.  You know what, I am utterly sick of the kowtowing to people who view me as less than an animal because I have the temerity to have a vagina.  Yeah, tell me just how fucking tolerant and understanding and supporting of women you are Obama Administration.  I prefer it when people lie right to my fucking face.

No, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

4 So first it looks like Obama is taking a stand on principle........and then we find out he's really just sucking up to the facists of the 3rd world after all?

7 Maybe Rasmussen will surprise everyone ... and go into a rant about free speech ... then tear open his shirt to display a large tatoo of one of the cartoons ... then jump the table and grab the Iranian ambassador .. put him in a headlock and give him a noogie ...

hey ... it could happen ...

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful,

This will prove to the Islamic World that the west is dying, and it is only a matter of time before Islam rules the world.  It is mysterious why Mr. Obama would want such a thing, I thought he said he was a Christian?  It appears that his sympathies lie elsewhere.  They are preparing to celebrate tommorrow as soon as it happens.  Watch Al Jazeera.  (Sura 2:29)

15 Lefty DemSM logic:

Cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb in his turban = bad! Insenstive and hateful to religion

Stick figure drawing of Jesus that some dimwitted dipshit in Greenwich Village took a dump on and displayed at the Guggenheim = good! Open exercise of free speech and tolerance

16 And you mocked when I said Obama was a Muslim.

Of course he's a Muslim. He was raised a Muslim, born a Muslim, has Muslim relatives (as he reminds Muslims at home and abroad at every opportunity).

He groveled and bowed and kissed the HAND of the Saudi King.

That's the act of a Muslim, not an American President.

He forces the Danish PM to apologize to the Muslim world. That's the act of a Muslim, not an American President.

He releases Gitmo terrorists into the US and gives them Welfare, that is the act of a Muslim, not an American President.

He still hasn't gotten his own kids a dog. That's the act of a Muslim, not an American President or Father.

The guy is a Muslim. He has always been a Muslim. He will always be a Muslim. And as a Muslim, he puts Islam first over America, and American values. There are a lot of Americans, sadly, who know this and voted for him precisely because of it.

17 So the artificial UN is packed with screwball muslim countries that want to dictate that no one can denigrate them for being misogynistic headchoppers; the next-most-useless political body, NATO, is looking to suck islamo-butt by apologizing?

The race to bottom has begun.  And Obomber is bowing to the king of saud.

Won't be too long before Barry Hussein's flying the moon-and-star flag over the Whitehouse.

Just to improve international relationships. 

No.  Really.

20 Well, I guess we will just have to make up the blasphemy deficit.

Did you hear the one about Mohamed and the 9 year old girl?

Seriously, I would give my left nut to have a western leader stand up and say that we will accept Muslims back into the fold of humanity when they apologize for the vile, disgusting and loathsome creature that was Mohamed.  The guy would be a blight on even the worst neighborhood let alone an entire religion.

21 Dear Fifth-Century Islamic World

I'm sorry you're so fucking backward, insular, closed-minded and fuckwitted that you don't understand basic Enlightenment concepts like free speech.

I'm sorry you are compelled by your barbaric, ancient, demented, interpretation of your "religion" to take offence at every slight and erupt in howls of rage and mob riots and killing at something as trivial as cartoons (which incidentally were published precisely as an exercise into how narrowly restricted you irony-impaired throat-slitting misogynist shitbricks have made public discourse)

I'm sorry you are all such pinheaded cockholsters.

Go fuck yourselves.

23 If this turns out to be true I'll simply be sick to my stomach, and I think that it will be fair to put two and two together and conclude that the unicorn king had a hand in this. By the way, alexthechick - great comment.

I'm with alexthechick and am playing the girl card also. I have come to have zero tolerance, no actually less than zero tolerance for the Islamic world. I will not submit, I will not cover myself, I will not give in to Sharia law. So, paint a big red target on my back because according to their religion, as a Christian my choice is to convert or be killed.

And shame on every single feminist woman in this country who dares preach tolerance of a religion that condones the slavery, degradation and murder of women.

Also, shame on the new NATO chief for undermining his principles for politics. The road to hell is paved with people who caved on their values in the face of political pressure.

Look what our genius president has said now:

Q Sonja Sagmeister from a little country, Austria, from Austrian Television. Mr. President, you said you came here to learn and to listen. So a quite personal question -- what did you learn from your personal talk with the European leaders? And did this change in a certain way your views on Europe and its politics?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It's an interesting question. I had already formed relationships with many of them. ... There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing -- and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

Someone...make it stop....

37 "I'm starting to miss Jimmy Carter."

Yeah, not a fan of Carter here, but at least he served the nation. Obama just self-serves it.

And NATO is now a mini-U.N., its members becoming subservient to the political whims of a lesser form of oppression but oppression nonetheless. Perhaps it is time to start going isolationist and fighting for our ideals and security with real partners rather than slowly letting them get crushed with our blessings.

So what?  Rassmussen was confirmed unanimously as NATO SG, including by Turkey. 

We have these little non-apology apologies all the time in the USA, when someone is alleged to have said something offensive.  Imagine if a candidate for appointment to office in the USA had said Christianity is bunk, same thing.

Erdogan just had to do a little posturing for his electorate.
