Read somewhere this is down to Northern politicans being pissed off at the new guy not revolving leadership of Nigeria between Muslim and Christian.
Northern politicians are funding Boko Harum

This is why I put up with the nonsense Jennifer Rubin writes. When she's on, she's really on.

Obama's true believers are not impressed by this. In their minds, Obama has no flaws, and it's always somebody's else's fault. Meanwhile Obama's potential opponents are tilting at windmills and fighting among themselves.

Of course, Obama continues to think he is fourth best president behind Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln in regards to legislation and foreign policy during his first two years. IMO, our country looks like an extended series of tornadoes went through the USA during the last three years and left a disaster that remains to be cleaned up.

I think Rubin's right to focus on BO's rejection of the Ryan proposal. The Ryan proposal was at least a decent effort at addressing a major issue; instead of opening a negotiation or making a proposal of his own, BO went straight to political attack mode; and ever since then has complained about how partisanship is stopping him from getting anything done. It's roughly like the Japanese complaining that the US wouldn't negotiate on December 8.

Obama rejected Ryan as he rejected Cantor because he always has to be the smartest guy in the room even though he is the most incompetent charlatan in the room. Its all about him and his narcissism and the rest of the world be damn.

But the Lord High Ass-Monkey of Cool, Tyrant Obama IS the best president in one respect.
Gun and ammunition sales.
I've bought more guns and ammo than I have in decades.

The gun shop I go to most (I go to all of em) has a picture of BO with the words "Our Best Salesman" on the cash register.

From what I've read, gun and ammunition sales started going up approaching the 2008 election, and haven't fallen since...and buyers come from both sides of the aisle. Our president really is their best salesman, a thought which would not comfort him, had it ever occurred to him.

Methinks you can plot a general trend downward for civilization, the rule of law, and the social contract from about the time of the death of Ali to now. There was a vast awakening of intellectual growth in the ME until Tamerlane came on the scene and destroyed Baghdad University and slaughtered the population, supposedly building four pyramids at the corners of the city of human heads, some say the pyramids were sixty feet high..
Then the culture rose againt to its pennacle under Suliman the Great...then it declined again, sharp up tick with oil, sharp downward spiral with spread of Wahabism funded with oil. Even sharper downward spiral with jihadists funded by self loathing and guilt ridden wealthy arabs (much like our limosine liberals and liberal Jews)...I say that the whole place is going to come apart and look like Somalia in about five years. The tribal tradition is stronger than governments of men so look for vast quantities of post 20th century technology to be rusting in the desert and nomads fashioning sabers out of front bumpers of junked Mercedes Benzes and Maybachs...That super tall building in Abu Dahbi will be a mineret for a mosque and birds will roost in the hotels and condominiums...

Intifada
In the wake of the Arab Spring and NATO interventions, both official and secret, Qatar seeks to impose Islamist leaders wherever possible. This strategy has led it not only to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and to hand Al-Jazeera over to them, but also to support Al Qaeda mercenaries, who will henceforth oversee the Free Syrian Army. However, this new scenario raises serious concerns in Israel and among the supporters of the clash of civilizations.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
