FBI: American Muslim Who Slaughtered People With 16 Tons Of Explosives And Was Roaming About The US Was NOT Under Surveillance

FBI: American Muslim Who Slaughtered People With 16 Tons Of Explosives And Was Roaming About The US Was NOT Under Surveillance

By Theodore Shoebat
The FBI is now admitting that an American Muslim who blew himself up with 16 tons of explosives and was going in and out of the US, was not under surveillance. One report says:
In a startling admission, counterterrorism agencies said an American suicide bomber who made frequent trips to the Middle East was not under surveillance – and could not be unless there was an informant tipping them off to his activities.
Moner Mohammad Abusalha, a US citizen, made frequent trips to the Middle East before taking his own life by driving 16 tons of explosives into a restaurant used as check point by Syrian soldiers on May 25, 2014. Despite taking several trips prior to killing himself, the Florida-based, 22-year-old Abusalha was not on the radar of the FBI or the database at the National Counterterrorism Center.
FBI officials told the Washington Post that the Abusalha case exposed vulnerabilities that can be reduced but not eliminated.
“It is extremely difficult for the FBI to identify individuals in the US who have this kind of goal,” George Piro, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Miami field office, said to the newspaper. “It requires a loved one or really close friend to note the changes…The family has to intervene.”
Piro is conducting the investigation into Abusalha’s activities, but the case already reveals a weakness in US information collection methods, despite a major push by security and intelligence agencies over the past two years to track the flow of foreign fighters into and out of Syria.
Abusalha first visited Syria in January 2013, then left for Jordan and journeyed on to Mecca. He returned to the US in May 2013 while flying through Newark airport.
“If the FBI was looking for this person and had a case on him, we absolutely would have notified the FBI,” said a US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) official.
Abusalha’s mother was called by USCBP about her son when he arrived back in the US, and she confirmed he had been visiting relatives in Jordan. She did not share with them whether she knew anything about his visit to Syria.
His travel records showed multiple trips to Jordan dating to 2005, according to a senior Homeland Security official, though there was no entry on him in any FBI or counterterrorism databases. Nothing in his behavior or belongings, meanwhile, betrayed any tie to the Syrian conflict.
Abusalha left the US again on November 2013 for a trip to Istanbul and Cairo before carrying out his bombing in May 2014. He is said to have joined the Al-Nusra Front, which has pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.
The FBI remained unaware of Abusalha’s radicalization and return to Syria until mid-December, when a source told the bureau about his plan to fight for Al-Nusra. The bureau opened a full-blown investigation and added Abusalha to its terrorism databases and, eventually, to the US no-fly list.
What does this story say? It says that America is going to get hit again, and its going to be bigger than 9/11.

SECOND Top General Breaks Rank To Strongly Criticize Obama

SECOND Top General Breaks Rank To Strongly Criticize Obama

(From mad world news) Earlier this month, a highly decorated Four Star General in the Marine Corps broke rank to speak out against Obama’s lax border policies, which allow illegals to flood into America. Now, it’s being reported that yet another top general in the military has come out to criticize Obama, but on a completely separate issue.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said Obama’s planned downsizing of the Army could pose security threats to America as the Islamic State is rapidly growing in size and Moscow is making advances across Eastern Europe.
“The world is changing in front of us. We have seen Russian aggression in Europe, we have seen ISIS, we have seen increased stability in other places,” Gen. Odierno said. “So I now have concern whether even going below 490,000 is the right thing to do or not, because of what I see potentially on the horizon.”
BOOM! Straight from someone who knows a thing or two about threats to our national security. He added that the Army is basically being choked out of its funding to be able to fight the proposed downsizing and repeated early calls for Congress to repeal mandated reductions.
Unfortunately, his efforts will probably be in vain, as the Obama administration has already started forcing out mid-level officers and deactivating entire brigades. He’s set to step down in 2015, but he said that under Obama’s revised strategy for the military, which includes sending forces to hot spots to prevent conflict, future leaders may be forced to deploy units that aren’t fully prepared.
“I swore that I would never send soldiers into a place not properly prepared, trained or equipped,” he said. “I will probably get away with that because I will leave … by the beginning of the next year. But I worry for the next chief.”
Gen. Odierno’s comments come on the heels of Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, head of the U.S. Southern Command, criticizing the lax border security and warning it could lead to a flood of Ebola-infected illegals into America.
Speaking to the National Defense University, Kelly stated that if people start fleeing Central and South American nations after an outbreak, it could cause “mass migration into the United States” of people seeking treatment, and our Southern border isn’t prepared for it.
“If it breaks out,” he said. “It’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door.’”
It’s no secret that our military commanders aren’t fans of the President, but to have them speak out in such a way shows their current level of frustration with the sheer incompetence in the White House. Unfortunately, instead of taking notice, Obama will likely force them out and replace them with those who’ll follow his orders, as we’ve seen in the past.
Do you think our military leaders are right?

Officially Killing Americans

Officially Killing Americans

The Food and Drug Administration can make two types of errors. It can approve a drug that has dangerous unanticipated side effects, or it can reject or delay approval of a drug that is safe and effective. Let's look at these errors, because to err on the side of under- or over-caution is costly.
It's in an FDA official's self-interest to err on the side of over-caution. People who are injured by incorrectly approved drugs — and their families — will know that they are victims of FDA mistakes, or under-caution. Their suffering makes headlines. FDA officials face unfavorable publicity, perhaps congressional hearings and possible termination.
The story is very different when the FDA incorrectly delays or denies drug approval — errs on the side of over-caution. Here victims are people who are prevented access to drugs that could have helped them. Their suffering or death is seen as reflecting the state of medicine rather than the status of an FDA drug application. Their doctor simply tells them there's nothing more that can be done to help them. This kind of FDA victim is invisible.
Dr. Henry I. Miller is a medical researcher, a 15-year veteran of the FDA and now a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He has an article in the New York Post titled "Life-saving drugs and deadly delays" (9/28/2014). He says that the FDA has just granted expanded access to an experimental drug for the Ebola virus. Safety and efficacy testing of the drug TKM-Ebola has barely begun, and there have been no clinical trials. Miller says, "It's OK as far as it goes, but it's an exception to the FDA's reluctance to approve the use of life-saving products."
Miller asks, "Why expend the agency's time and energy on a drug that will be used rarely, if at all, in the United States?" He asks us to consider the case of Bexsero, a vaccine for meningitis B. Bexsero has been approved by the European Union, Australia and Canada but hasn't been approved by the FDA, even though outbreaks occur on U.S.
college campuses, recently killing a Georgetown University student. FDA policy is responsible for the death of that student, but you won't hear anything about it. As early as 1974, FDA Commissioner Alexander M. Schmidt said: "In all of FDA's history, I am unable to find a single instance where a congressional committee investigated the failure of FDA to approve a new drug. But the times when hearings have been held to criticize our approval of new drugs have been so frequent that we aren't able to count them. The message to FDA staff could not be clearer." In other words, no problem as long as the victims are invisible.
Citizens have taken some initiative. Miller points to a mother of a University of California, Santa Barbara student who sent her son to England to be immunized with Bexsero. The mother of a woman who died from meningitis B organized bus trips for dozens of people, mostly college-age kids, to Windsor, Ontario, where she arranged for the group to be seen by a doctor and vaccinated.
Miller cites the case of pirfenidone, a drug that treats idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which kills tens of thousands of Americans each year. Pirfenidone has been marketed in Europe (since 2011), Japan (2008), Canada (2012) and China. The FDA has yet to approve pirfenidone for use in the U.S. Miller guesses that it will approve the drug by the end of this year. The FDA's four-year approval delay has led to the deaths of 150,000 Americans from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Miller's New York Post article (http://tinyurl.com/mq3w6hg) points to the needless death and suffering from other FDA approval delays. I have two recommendations. If U.S. doctors know that a lifesaving drug has been approved in Europe, Japan and Canada, it is their ethical duty to inform their patients. Second, when the FDA calls a news conference to announce approval of a drug, somebody should ask the official how many Americans died from the drug's not being approved the previous year.

Turkey Bombing Kurds, not ISIS

Turkey Bombing Kurds, not ISIS

As the world wonders why Turkey is standing down and allowing ISIS fighters to continue their reign of terror in the Syrian border town of Kobane, Turkey is actually bombing Kurds according to the UK Telegraph. In reality, this is not new. As Shoebat.com reported, Turkey has been demonstrating animosity toward and a lack of support for the Kurds for some time now.
This latest example should make it more obvious:
Turkish jets bombed targets in the southeast of Turkey where members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) are based, the first strikes on the outlawed group since a 2013 ceasefire, a security source said.
Turkish F-16 jets dropped bombs late on Monday on PKK targets in the village of Daglica in the Kurdish-majority Hakkari province near the border with Iraq, the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The fierce clashes between Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) insurgents and Kurdish forces in the key Syrian town of Kobane have shaken Turkey’s fragile peace process with the PKK, blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by Ankara and much of the international community.
Frustrated with Turkey’s lack of action to stop Isil’s advance in northern Syria, Turkey’s Kurdish community has taken to streets in several cities in the southeast over the past week, with scores killed in deadly clashes.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed the unrest on the “dark forces” seeking to sabotage the delicate peace process with the PKK to end 30 years of violence that has claimed at least 40,000 lives.
These new developments are very much in line with what Shoebat.com published last month. Turkey’s actions have become increasingly more favorable to ISIS than to the Kurds because there is a larger plan at work.

Oregon's First Lady Admits to Green-Card Marriage Fraud

Oregon's First Lady Admits to Green-Card Marriage Fraud

By David Seminara, October 10, 2014
Cylvia Hayes, Oregon's first lady, made a tearful admission Thursday that she engaged in a green-card marriage from 1997-2002 with an Ethiopian national, then 18, who paid her $5,000 in exchange for her wedding vows. Her disclosure came after Willamette Week, an alternative weekly newspaper in Portland, revealed the sketchy relationship and the fact that she's been married and divorced three times. Hayes is engaged to Governor John Kitzhaber, a Democrat who is seeking a fourth term in November, but the pair have been together for 10 years and he refers to her as the state's first lady. The couple insists that Kitzhaber didn't know about the cash for vows relationship until Thursday.
Hayes was 29 years old when she married the 18-year-old immigrant, identified as Abraham B. Abraham, now a resident of suburban Washington, D.C. Willamette Week was able to verify the fact that the two never lived together, a fact that was apparently lost on the DHS officials who granted Abraham his green card before the couple divorced in 2002.
Hayes admitted wrongdoing but claimed in her statement to the Oregonian on the matter that she "was struggling to put myself through college and was offered money in exchange for marrying a young person who had a chance to get a college degree himself if he were able to remain in the United States." And indeed, according to press reports, Abraham got his degree. But I think Hayes is trying to take advantage of how ill-informed most Americans are about U.S. immigration law here. Foreigners do not need a green card in order to study in the United States, all they need is a student visa, and so the notion that she came to the rescue to give him a chance to study is dubious.
The Oregonian concludes that Hayes likely won't face criminal or civil penalties, as the statue of limitations for entering into a green card marriage is five years. Abraham, on the other hand, could have his legal status revoked (it is not clear if he is a green card holder or a U.S. citizen now). I'm betting that this will not happen. As I wrote in my 2008 Backgrounder on green card marriages, once someone gains legal status, especially citizenship, DHS very rarely revokes it barring highly unusual circumstances, i.e. the person is a terrorist or has committed other very serious crimes.
If an alternative weekly newspaper in Portland can easily detect a fraudulent relationship many years after it happened, why couldn't DHS have sniffed it out at the time? I outlined all the reasons in the Backgrounder mentioned above, but, in a nutshell, it's a lot easier for someone sitting in a cubicle to rubber stamp immigration petitions than to investigate them. DHS doesn't have the manpower to thoroughly investigate the thousands of marriages Americans conduct with foreign nationals each year and it is hard and labor-intensive to prove that two people don't love each other.
Based on my experience as a consular officer, I think that green card marriage is the most common scam employed by foreign nationals who arrive in the United States on a tourist visa and don't want to go home. Until we devote more resources to investigating suspicious petitions and require couples to appear in person to face questions when initiating the paperwork, the problem will persist.
How will voters in Oregon judge Kitzhaber in November? The Willamette Week also disclosed this week that Hayes's consulting firm might have benefited from her role as first lady. The newspaper concluded that she is the most influential first lady in the state's history. But Kitzhaber is facing a conservative opponent, Dennis Richardson, who probably has little chance of winning in this blue state. If nothing else, the Hayes case shines a spotlight on a problem that is far more pervasive than most people realize.

Obama dumps 40K soldiers, supports slashing already minimal benefits

Obama dumps 40K soldiers, supports slashing already minimal benefits

The head man for the U.S. Army is warning that the official Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 budget and personnel cuts to the nation's army very well could have not only a detrimental, but a devastating effect on the largest branch of the Armed Forces responding to world-wide threats. As reported by the Reuters news service via the Washington Free Beacon on Oct. 13, 2014, Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno warned that even at the current number of troops, there is serious concern if the Army can fulfill its mission.
Obama's change.
Obama's change.
wikipedia.com
With the federal government starting its fiscal calender on the first of October every year, 11 and a half months from now America's standing army will be 40,000 soldiers weaker. Speaking before annual Association of the U.S. Army conference, Gen. Odierno Despite the governmental sounding name, the privately owned Military Times noted earlier this month that the Marine Corps is also facing a huge cut in the percentage of troops wearing the famed Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
As reported, the Obama Administration's FY budgets since taking office have seen a constant and steady downward drop since becoming the country's Commander in Chief. With 2009 being the first year of his presidency, Obama has ensured personnel cutbacks beginning with the FY 2010 budget. Since then, the Corps has seen drops from 202,000 in FY 2010 to a planned 182,000 by FY 2016. Next year's FY budget cuts see the Marine Corps slashed by 10 percent since Obama assumed power, while the Army faces losing 12.25 percent of its troop strength in just a single fiscal year.
During FY 2010, the Army's authorized troops strength stood at 562,400. During the Obama Era, the U.S. Army will have seen a total drop of 112,400 - or roughly a 20 percent drop. The FY 2016 cuts will ensure the smallest standing American Army since 1940 which stood at 269,023.
For illustration purposes only, an example of what a Pay Grade E-4 with more than two years in service, but less than three years, has a base pay of $2,101.80 a month. While those serving in the Armed Forces are available as well as are physically on duty, the same E-4 currently earns $2.92 an hour. Under the 2014 military pay scale, a Pay Grade E-1 undergoing recruit training is paid $2.12 an hour.
Other cost saving measures put forth by the Obama Administration were cited by the Marine Corps Times last month, the White House cut the Congressionally mandated 1.8 percent pay raise down to a threadbare 1.0 percent. Seen by many military advocacy groups, Team Obama is also floating a "proposal to make troops pay an average 5 percent of their housing costs out of their own pockets. And proposals to eliminate the commissary subsidy — and increase consumer prices — at most domestic installations ..."

BREAKING: Professor Who Studied Ebola for 11 Years Makes Horrifying Announcement [DETAILS]

BREAKING: Professor Who Studied Ebola for 11 Years Makes Horrifying Announcement [DETAILS]

A Purdue University professor says that while Ebola has so far only been been proven to be transmitted through bodily fluids, it could become airborne at virtually any time.
Dr. David Sanders has studied how the Ebola virus enters human cells since 2003. He told WRTV that the virus is “primed” to become airborne, making it even more likely that anyone with Ebola travelling by plane could infect fellow passengers (H/T Young Conservatives).

“It can enter the lung from the airway side,” Sanders told WRTV. “So this argues that Ebola is primed to have respiratory transmission.”
He said that, while certainly unproven, the idea of airborne transmission is hardly far-fetched. “We need to be taking this into consideration,” Sanders said. “What if? This is not a crazy, ‘What if?’ This is not a wild, ‘What if?’”
Sanders said it’s not possible to predict when the virus could go airborne or even know for sure that it will. But the longer the virus is allowed to spread and mutate, the more likely it is to develop an airborne strain.

The professor argued that suppressing the current outbreak in West Africa is therefore critical to prevent a worldwide pandemic of Ebola virus, but he also said it’s unlikely that most Americans are in danger from the virus — at least for now.
Click here to find out what Secretary of State John Kerry said that shows he has no idea how to combat the Ebola virus.
In case anyone needed one, Dr. Sanders has provided yet another great reason both to impose a temporary ban on flights from West Africa to the United States and to secure the nation’s southern border against possible Ebola-infected individuals crossing illegally into the country in search of effective treatment.
Good luck getting that message through to this president, however.

Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you agree that the federal government should take more decisive action to protect Americans from the spread of the Ebola virus.

DICK CHENEY: ‘Next Attack On America Will Be Far Deadlier Than 9/11′

911
Firemen continue to fight the fires that sprout up from within the rubble of the World Trade Center September 19, 2001. (Reuters / PA2 Tom)
Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that the next terrorist attack on the US will be far worse than 9/11 during a nearly two-hour interview. He also took pride in the use of waterboarding and in giving the National Security Agency free reign.
The 73-year-old sat down with neoconservative political pundit Bill Kristol on Sunday for the Weekly Standard editor’s latest installment of Conversations with Bill Kristol. The two discussed Cheney’s time as secretary of defense; the Gulf War; the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations; 9/11; and the threats we face today.
“You’ve got to be a fool to believe isolation as a strategy is the way to go. We have no choice but to be involved in that part of the world, and if we’re not actively involved, there are some very bad things that are going to happen,” Cheney warned.
He believes that if the Iranians get nuclear weapons, it won’t be long before others in the region also have nuclear weapons, hinting that the deadly weapons could fall into the heads of the Islamic State or Syria.

«Obama's deal with the demands in Egypt like the demands of the streets of Chicago, which came to them .. and did not take into account the interests of Egypt, which landed the role that would inevitably coming to the Kingdom», these words across Ahmed Ibrahim Al », Saudi competent expert in US-Saudi relations , for characterization of the position of Saudi Arabia from the events in Egypt and the pressures exerted by the American administration following the resolution of the Muslim Brotherhood in Aatsamy Rabi'a and the Renaissance, which Interview «home» in an attempt to get to know the motives of the situation and its impact on Saudi-American relations and the region.
He said «Al Ibrahim», that «Kingdom and Gen. Abdel Fattah Sisi realized that apoptosis United States in defense of the Muslim Brotherhood stresses that the Muslim Brotherhood have made promises fictional American against the interests of the region and here must confront this conspiracy» and stressed «Al Ibrahim» that the Obama administration has failed and that it is worthy of the confidence of the kingdom after the emergence of the features of the division of Egypt, and the Kingdom will not accept this and that it will provide significant support to Egypt, even if it wants military support as well », considered« Al Ibrahim »that the Kingdom's position with the presence of a wise man such as« Sisi »in Egypt is the beginning of the solidarity of Arab political large.
Saudi Arabia's position from America came late after that has been proven to be untrustworthy Americans do not put their interests in mind
* In the beginning .. How do you see the Saudi position and the support provided to Egypt in its current crisis?
- First, the position of Saudi Arabia is not new by an assertion of the relations of natural history with the Egyptian people, now you should know that there is no Arab force in the region after Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will never accept the division of Egypt; because if this happens, the Kingdom is which will have a role, on the other hand turned out of the kingdom that the management of «Obama» do not understand very well the Gulf region and the realities and interests except for the security of Israel, which now stands face to face with the Obama administration, which was clearly evident the extent of weakness in dealing with the issues of the Middle East, as if the Kingdom say to them: «You do not understand the region and do not you know, let's do what we have is good».
Kingdom also make sure that the American administration has to have a clear double standards, especially toward the elections that brought Hamas in 2006 but rejected the results and said that Hamas is a terrorist organization, while the situation was different in the case of Egypt. Thus, the Kingdom is a division of Egypt and drop is very unacceptable and will do everything to have the unity of Egypt.
* Did not afraid to Saudi Arabia from this position to intervene in a confrontation with the United States?
- In the fact that Saudi Jammelt more than once, the United States, especially in the policies of the recent commitment to the region and the Gulf, and the Kingdom has sent more than envoy to the American administration, most notably «Prince tired bin Abdullah» Ki understand them the situation in the region, especially in the Syrian crisis and every time the Americans say something And they do something else, now we've got a lot of challenges in the region and if Jamlna the United States more than this, the next round will be on the Kingdom and the plot will catch us.
* Have there been other contacts undeclared between Saudi Arabia and the United States about the situation in Egypt?
- The fact that King «Abdullah» occur in more than one occasion to President George «Obama» and said to him: «Hey, Mr. President, if the billion and a half billion dollars that you provide aid to Egypt burden upon you, and Thrjkm in front of your people, Farfawa yours for Egypt and we are ready to pay the fold , but do them for the benefit of Egypt », also« Obama »Contact the last time the king, after June 30, and asked him not to give aid to Egypt or at least delay the delivery date, but the King« Abdullah »replied and said:« Excuse me, Mr. President, we We committed ourselves with our brothers in Egypt will not stop aid », and this means a change in politics and how to speak and stand face to face with the Americans must understand this and Kingdom will change many things in the coming period.
* .. What do you think the limits of Saudi support planned for Egypt?
- The fact that this support would be limitless and keyed everything possible to recover Egypt will remain constant to recover Egypt is tied to this, and it will be material support financially, and politically moves through Saudi Arabia with Europe, France and America in particular, and I think that the kingdom went to France because politicians adult in the UK and arrived at an impasse with the United States in this respect, and their sense that the Obama administration failed does not realize the interests of the region, and to assure that the support will be physically if necessary, and Egypt is rich in it, but we are ready to be there also military support, including the provision of support to Sinai because malevolent in Egypt will cause big problems for the service goals and ambitions stir Israel and Saudi certainly do not and will not accept this.
Q: What is the extent of the similarity between the position of the Kingdom of Egypt's support now and support them in the war of October 1973?
- I can not say they were on the same power, for every position of his condition, but this time the Kingdom confronted by most Western powers and all its allies to bring them democracy they make the goal of which dominate Egypt and not democracy per se; therefore kingdom sent emissaries to all countries, and will stand in the face of any one wants to dominate Egypt, if we were in the previous period was said to the existence of a rift in relations between the Kingdom and the United States;, this rift now seemed clear, and the Kingdom want to say also to the Americans and Europeans You do not understand the realities of the region and the Arab states are better for the solution their internal problems and guardians especially if Egypt was on the list of these Arab countries.
Brotherhood made ​​pledges for the fictional American so they are desperate in their defense .. and had to be cut from this plot
* Are we on the threshold of a new stage of Arab solidarity after the Saudi-Egyptian solidarity?
- Can be answered yes and no; If we look at the position of the King «Abdullah», and the role of Saudi adhering to what is in the interest of Egypt in the face of the West, and in the presence of a man like our team first «Fattah Sisi», the defense minister and commander in chief of the Egyptian armed forces, who speaks the whole world about him, calling Gen. silent;, it is possible that we are in the process of beginning a political solidarity towards the project a large Arab, but there are other Arab countries have their accounts, there is a front-Iranian in Iraq and another front in Syria and other countries have their accounts and their agendas different means that we will be We have more difficulties, but recovered Egypt and the presence of «Sisi» could help on the presence of Arab solidarity.
* Do you think that the Saudi position parallel with the events in Egypt put the administration in a dilemma?
- We have mourned here that the United States suffers a clear division about the foreign policies of the Obama administration; because it turns out he created many enemies for the United States more than friends, there are two policies in one country, and Obama has already entered into a confrontation with the Republicans because of the policies of this, the more the crisis here If what has turned Saudi Arabia, at least from the state ally to a neutral state, and the events in Egypt and the lack of appreciation of the Americans to the interests of the Gulf states and the Arab states and the damages which may cause them, especially after laying «Obama» all bet on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt is an Arab country larger than the Brotherhood; the Saudi Arabia now is not the kingdom, which they knew from before to after the Americans proved that they are not subject to the trust and to adopt them; because if what they want to their own interests, they should also take into account our interests and our decisions that we have our own.
* What do you think the new realities, which was not understood by «Obama» in the Middle East?
- It is very clear that they see the Arab Spring opportunity to spread Western-style democracy, but in fact is a way to impose American hegemony on the region and the Gulf, a democracy are not in line with our history and our habits and do not conform to our nature, we us our characteristics which must be respected, again the facts are agreements on Syria in more from the time it was agreed to support the opposition with weapons, but the United States does not comply with this demanding Kingdom that supports the weapons which supports medical assistance and thus become their word for us is constant, and their interaction with each state individually different, also looked to the kingdom that «Obama» deals with demands in the streets of Cairo as the demands of Chicago, which came to them, did not understand is the fact that Egypt and it's much larger than those deficient in the way of thinking.
Kingdom will provide significant support to Egypt, politically, financially and militarily, and the latter in order to Sinai to cut the road in front of malevolent and recovered while Egypt
Also do not need to know the Americans that their democracy, which they claim has failed in Iraq and came to «Nouri al-Maliki», the Iraqi prime minister, who is no less tyrannical Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi leader, and as I said, the United States has a clear double standards, proved to be moving only in the framework of Israeli interests, and here was the Kingdom that says «We do what we in our favor as we specify», and the fact that the speech team «Sisi» comes in this context also as if to say what you say Kingdom «Hey Obama Raise your hand you about Egypt, we know the interest of our country and we know how well we are doing ».
* Is the United States aimed at changing the leadership of the Arab region, including Saudi Arabia through the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood?
- I think that it is the largest and beyond this, beyond just changing the leadership in the Arab region, because the desperation of America and its allies to defend the Brotherhood indicates that there is a big deal and very imaginative, and the promises and pledges made by the Brotherhood to America and Israel, I'm wondering: «Obama» Pat preoccupation Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood only, and does not seem to exist Iran does not file a nuclear nor violations of Ahwazi Arabs in Iran nor North Korea nor terrorism and other issues which was the main concern of the American administration, it may be related to understandings of Iranian-American have Brotherhood rib where, I really do not know what This big thing promised in the Brotherhood, our inability to anticipate this called Kingdom to take this attitude of America and her forehead «Qatar and Turkey» Egypt to the need to leave intact and we will with our mission to be recovering.
* Is it possible to be a Saudi relations - Russian hub to counter American pressure on Egypt?
- The fact that relations between the Kingdom and Russia strange to some extent; who are thus different about the crisis in Syria, but including confluence about Egypt, and is clear that the kingdom wants to recast its relationship to be more balanced, especially that Russia proved to be the most influential in the Syrian crisis of the United States and when The relationship between Russia and Saudi important for the recovery of Egypt, the Kingdom will stick to it, because Egypt is more important to have the Syrian crisis.

Word bin Saqr, who is president and founder of the Gulf Research Center, to a question by CNN Arabic about whether Riyadh had sensed a shift in American attitudes after Obama's visit to Riyadh by saying: "Unfortunately, I was supposed to be some kind of understanding on the agenda basic looking forward to it Kingdom, which is based on determining the American attitude toward Iran under any circumstances the failure of negotiations with the Group 5 +1 and the failure of convergence caution currently between America and Iran. "
He continued Bin Saqr, who was speaking on the sidelines of the Foundation "Beirut Institute," which was held in Dubai Tuesday: "We had hoped to hear about the American attitude towards Syria and developments on the ground - Abdulaziz bin Saqr and three strategies to be followed in Syria by dealing with Russia and the armed groups and the role of the Iranian axis - Iraq - the party of God, Syria. "
He bin Saqr that Riyadh was also want to hear the American position toward Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood in no gain, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi the presidential race, as well as Riyadh was looking forward to see the American vision of the situation of Yemen and the Arab-Israeli conflict, but that did not happen because "it is only the American assurances address commitment to the security of Saudi Arabia and the region, and the distinguished bilateral relations without going into all the details of this mission, "he said.
But bin Saqr went on to say: "I am convinced that the relationship US-Saudi deep and long, has been undergoing a period of chill, but is overcome with surrounding positions. We appreciate President Obama's visit and his visit, King Abdullah at the head of a senior delegation, all this is appreciated, but there is a need for the Commission effective joint between the two countries contribute to clarify these issues and find common ground for mutual cooperation, as happened in the field of counter-terrorism cooperation since winning at this level of what could be the coolest. "
- Relations between Qatar and the Gulf states:
When asked about the required diameter to return to grade the Gulf replies bin Saqr, saying: "What is needed is three basic things: First, it must be made clear, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, Emir of Qatar, his public statements issued by his father - Abdul Aziz bin Saqr Al Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, and (disclosed in leaks with the Libyan leadership, the previous era of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi), he has to distance himself and say it earlier era and has nothing to do with and to clarify that it does not adopt this proposal, which does not hurt the interests of Saudi Arabia. "
He added: "Secondly, the Kingdom feel that if he continued Brotherhood in power in Egypt, including owned Cairo of the capabilities and role, how will the use of the Egyptian force in other Arab countries, has adopted Qatar's policy is based on good relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and this is not a problem for Saudi Arabia, but taking violence and means to achieve the political goal is unacceptable. Thirdly: may not be supported by Qatar groups or parties challenging the Gulf governments, threat in the Gulf is a common security threat, and it is required that there be no concentration of media in the country to support certain groups. "
He said bin Saqr: "If that Qatar has created understandings directly with the three countries that withdraw their ambassadors, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, I'm sure they will revert back to the incubator Gulf because it is an integral part of them and can not live without it, Alliances regional which may embrace them Qatar currently may be temporary , such as the alliance with Qatar and Turkey, while the main alliance is with the Gulf countries that face common threats from terrorist groups and Iran and the explosive situation in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. "
- Support for the future of Egypt and Saudi throne:
And about the opportunities for continued support of the Gulf to Egypt in the light of what he said Sisi need the Egyptian economy to between 450 and 570 billion dollars, said bin Saqr: "Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States is fully committed to support Egypt - Abdulaziz bin Saqr, has been pushed so far more than 16 billion dollars , but the provision of security and stability will encourage foreign investment market is Egyptian significant and promising opportunities where too many issue is the economic need for reform, but without stability, security and stability can not address these issues .. Gulf States is committed to a large extent supported by Egypt, but not an obligation Without Borders. "
And objectives behind the choice of Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz and Crown to Crown said bin Saqr: "I think that King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz wanted to deliver a clear message that there is a clear transfer of power in the next stage, therefore, we have seen widespread support pledge allegiance to Prince Horny to facilitate the transition of power, this has the advantage and will help to move to the second generation after the arrival of Prince Horny to top of the pyramid, which constitutes a fundamental pillar of stability.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar .. conflict rages and the Gulf Cooperation Council split apart

Saudi Arabia and Qatar .. conflict rages and the Gulf Cooperation Council split apart

Straining the Saudi government for actively addressing the challenges and risks that it considers threatening to its political system. Looks as if it is struggling in all directions: Adjust segments of their audience internal escapes from the directives of political and "allegiance guardian", and re-organized to hold the Gulf Cooperation Council, which has become a forum periodically away from what I want him from the unit Gulf, and the order of the regional situation, including Approves Saudi interests which is based on finding and supporting systems "ally" and drop or shook systems "hostile."
Comes the list of "terrorist organizations" issued by the Saudi Interior Ministry to draw a clear distinction with the organizations, trends and currents see the Saudi elite ruling that they represent a threat to the traditional political system, and go doctrine away in a warning to get out of their bases and require discipline within the official standards, at the time can not be in it on any system that determines the political behavior of the people in general and especially the elites.
An internal state of emergency
Between the Royal Order issued by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz in February 3 last and the Interior Ministry statement on the seventh of this more than a month, and more than a little difference. Royal Order seemed to focus on the priority of addressing the involvement of a fight Saudi youth outside the country, and then to belong to or support "currents or groups - and the like - religious or intellectual extremist or classified as terrorist organizations internally, regionally or internationally," while the statement the Saudi Interior placing second in the affairs of his priorities, and deal with the fighting outside Syria secondary theme (statement of Interior and put it in the third item, did not stop him only in passing).
Why is this "difference"? You must understand it from the perspective of non-contradiction, so that the function of the Royal Order put an end break to cover or turn a blind eye fighting abroad without permission from a guardian, which is understandable in the reality of Saudi Arabia, which saw what looked like an exodus of young people looking for the land of spacious expressing his rebellion and his plans away from the tutelage of the system. And the need to "patch" dictated by considerations of internal security and political linked documents the relationship with Washington. But the king opened the door with it in front of targeted groups and other currents ("terrorist" or "extremist") at home or abroad.
The statement by the Interior to form the Executive Decree to see the King, and expands the scope of the prohibitions to include intellectual trends of the opposition came from the custody of the system, and this indicates that the real target is not the fighters abroad as much as the individuals and organizations that carry currents and opposing ideas. Hence the ban and criminalize every form of support or sympathy or promote them; tweets, or even comments on sites reaching social fields has become risky. If the fighters overseas security concern seriously and easy to justify targeted for security reasons and clear, the fight against organizations and political trends or intellectual anti-regime seem more difficult and more expensive than the political and moral because it may affect the authenticity of the principle of freedom of opinion, what will bring the reaction is difficult to estimate.
Difficulties within the UK and around the closest make the Saudi leadership in a position dominated by anxiety and uncertainty, particularly in the light of international changes that Avqdtha feeling availability of Sindh Almkan, it all paid to take precautions protectionist very harsh and the adoption of speech free of diplomacy sometimes, so it was decided to confiscate political rights at home at once, and determine the fate of policies and regulations in the near vicinity or beyond. It's an unenviable position Saudi leadership he should be required to campaign against the aspirations of the elite civil in the country to hold political and social reforms Vtendf to announce something like a state of emergency, so that the list of "terrorist organizations" open the update live up to the level of accountability for the support, promotion and empathy to include:
"All of the support organizations, or groups, or currents, or gatherings, or parties, or show affiliation with, or sympathy, or promotion, or holding meetings under its umbrella, whether inside or outside the Kingdom, including participating in all media Media audio, or read, or visual, and means of social communication of all kinds, audio, or read, or video, and Internet sites, or trading their contents in any way, or use slogans such groups and currents, or any symbols indicate support or sympathy " , as well as "seeking to destabilize the social fabric and national cohesion, or call, or participating in, or promotion, or incitement to sit-ins, or demonstrations, or gatherings, or collective data in any suit or image was, or whatever affects the unity and stability of the kingdom by any means" . In short, he fits the era of a new security changes that have occurred in the order of risk: the inside near the neighborhood, then the ocean farthest.
Restrictions on the Brotherhood and isolate Qatar
Despite that statement, the Saudi Interior select different groups within the framework of the ban and prosecution, there is no doubt that the Muslim Brotherhood offshoots complex represents the first goal and the "enemy" real in the circle of Islamic sectarian narrow, they are considered a potential alternative for many of the regimes in the Muslim world and possess the vision and cadres many and now holds the sympathy from some who see it as facing a coup in Egypt and excluded in other countries.
But the group "Brotherhood" tangible presence in the Gulf Arab states back to several decades, and particularly in a period of conflict with President Gamal Abdel Nasser in the fifties of the last century, where embraced Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states cadres fleeing from Egypt, and has to use them in educational and other institutions, and was the beginning of mutual influence between the thought of the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi ideology traditional, giving the group a chance to attend the organization in these countries. It is said that Saudi Arabia was until recently supporting international charities linked Brotherhood.
Saudi Arabia and the separation of "Brotherhood" began after the September 11, 2001, while Saudi Arabia and found herself in front of a dilemma involving many of their nationals in terrorist operations in the international arena, which put them in an awkward position. Previously, the interior minister, the late Saudi Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said that railed against the group "Muslim Brotherhood", and described it as "the origin of the scourge," saying: "Without hesitation I say that our problems and Afrazacna all came from the Muslim Brotherhood," he said, adding that they were "recruited people (in Saudi Arabia) and currents grow up, and they are against the kingdom. "
The packages owner of the Saudi decision ordered early in the consideration "Brotherhood," a non-credible and decided Thin opportunity to get rid of them, and it was the Saudi king the first Arab leader pays tribute to quickly overthrow the Egyptian military dictator Mohamed Morsi, and completed the package of decisions of financial support in collaboration with other Gulf states. But it did not end up here, The cost of support you get older, because of the political turmoil and the economic and security which surrounds the payment of the Government of Egypt and the resignation of Hazem El-Beblawi, in time finds Brotherhood lap warm and safe haven in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia.
From here came the move to withdraw the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE from Qatar to express anger Riyadh to host Doha for a growing number of "Brotherhood" and formed a launching pad for counter-revolution against the current regime in Egypt, which is preparing for the electoral benefits and constitutional works in order to bypass without great difficulties. It is noteworthy that not be Kuwait, which assumed the role of assistant to the level of financial support the Egyptian rule of the new, within the countries that withdraw its ambassador from Doha: Is it just a difference with Saudi Arabia in the estimation of the situation, or that Kuwait maintains a margin allows it to move on the line brokerage to approximate the positions between the two shores of the Gulf Cooperation Council? Incidentally, this council has become practically disjointed since it failed to achieve many of the major ambitions such as monetary union, and also after the rejection of the Sultanate of Oman publicly King Abdullah's call for unity among the Gulf Arab states.
How the relationship will evolve Qatar and Saudi Arabia?
This relationship is heading for more enticements and pressures, especially after the announcement of a source close to the Qatari government that Doha "will not change its foreign policy - regardless of the price of this Moagaf- will not give up hosting members of the Muslim Brotherhood." The source added that the dispute regards "more disagreements about foreign policy," in reference to issues such as Egypt and Syria.
Qatar has a history of difficult relations with neighbor Saudi Arabia, which is as fortified itself treaties military with the United States, seeking to resist the Saudi influence over the constipation tools "soft", such as "Al-Jazeera" and employing its credit and financial investments International in an attempt to bridge the disparity caused by the imbalance in size demographic and geographic each of the two countries.
What is the impact on the Saudi approach the situation in Syria?
It is known that Saudi Arabia and Qatar relations financing, arming and directing with many of the armed groups in Syria, and these relationships were not complementary, but that she believed the American circles left negative consequences on the development of the performance of the opposition, which stuck between various loyalties. I've put a statement the Saudi Interior Front victory and Daash within terrorist groups, and did not include other groups linked to al Qaeda, such as "free-Sham." It is certain that this trend will happen Saudi rift within the "Islamic Front", which was intended to influence Daash face, and now may have to determine the position of the classification of "victory."
There is a link to groups such as the "Army of Islam" led by Zahran Aloush of "victory" in Saudi Arabia and at the same time, which may re-shuffle the deck again in terms of alliances. This reflects again Tdgda front corresponding to Syria, which began with a move away from Turkey inherent in the Syrian file, and now with the intensification of the dispute Saudi-Qatari.
It is noted that the Saudi authorities have retained the right to add any names to the list, hoping - as Abdo- to regain all departed from the official line.
International context of the Saudi decision
What can not be separated from the Saudi decision to seek Riyadh to re-heat to relations with the American administration.
The timing of the Royal Order and later the Interior Ministry statement before a visit by President Barack Obama to Saudi Arabia this month, in a message intended to reassure Americans that Saudi Arabia has taken a trend is irreversible in the unification of official discourse and policies about "terrorism", and that there is no disparity between what is on the table and what is underneath, and in the wake of reports that pointed to an American Saudi sponsorship of extremist organizations operating in Syria and ignoring party headed for Saudi nationals to fight in this country. Eight Riyadh visit of trying to pre-empt the development of Qatar in a difficult position, the position of the outcast accused of supporting terrorism, whether "victory" or "Brotherhood." It hopes to attract to the administration kept up the pressure on in Doha, particularly in light of the rumors about the relationship linking the recent victory Front, which is the official branch of al-Qaeda in Syria.
Previously, succeeded Arabia with its allies in the change in Washington's view on how to deal with the change that has happened in Egypt, and hopes now to get American support pushes in the direction of isolating Qatar, after it became clear that the replacement of the Emir of Qatar and former prime minister, did not change from the use of this state with regional crises, particularly Egypt, and with the Gulf House.
It must also be pointed out that Saudi Arabia -okdmt to promote rapprochement with the United States-a significant change through the appointment of Interior Minister Mohammed bin Nayef, the coordinator of the security policy place Intelligence Director Bandar bin Sultan.
The farther from the house, which is divided on the Gulf itself (Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain in the hand, and in the other hand, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman in the third hand), there is a big question about the fate of the hardline Saudi policy towards Iran. There is nothing that indicates that Saudi Arabia is in the process of changing their accounts in dealing with the great neighbor, but the concern is adapting its smaller neighbor feisty and internal house in order may force it to temporarily ease of dealing with Iran, despite showing signs of stress in Bahrain. This reinforces the belief decline in Riyadh bet on a significant change in Syria for the benefit of her team in the opposition.
