Analysis note: This issue continues to grow. That the Obama administration refuses to even acknowledge the existence of radical Islam is a major part of the problem.

Why Are U.S. Embassies On the Run From Radical Islamists Instead of the Other Way Around?
Dr. Michael D. Evans
The State Department ordered U.S. embassies and consulates to close in a number of countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia on Sunday. According to Department personnel “a specific threat against a U.S. embassy or consulate,” in a Muslim country had been intercepted. The warning revealed that Al Qaeda members have received orders and are in position in order to execute the suspected plot.
Among those closed are embassies in Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Yemen, Libya, Algeria, Oman, and Abu Dhabi. Also ordered shuttered were consulates in Dubai and two other Saudi cities. Many of the countries in which embassies were closed have a common thread—support for radical Islam. The 19 embassies will remain closed until at least next Saturday.
Conversely, Israel has zero tolerance for terror. Do you find it a bit surprising that the only U.S. embassy open in the Middle East is the one in Israel? How can it be that in the country being pressured the most to enter into peace negotiations with the Palestine Authority is the country where Arabs are the safest and have the best economic lifestyle of any in the Middle East?The reality is that most of the Muslim countries are simply family owned “thug-ocracies” posing as corporations. The way those countries keep terror organizations from turning on them is by paying them off and/or funding their causes. It’s a “don’t ask—don’t tell” policy.
[....] Why instead of having a radical Islam Al Qaeda on the run, does it have U.S. embassies on the run? How can this be possible after 12 years of fighting the war on terror and so many sacrifices? It begins with the refusal by the current U.S. administration to acknowledge that terror exists.
[....] What will it take to jar the West from its comfortable complacency? Because the Liberal Left is fundamentally secular humanist, they bow at the altar of appeasement, believing that evil really doesn’t exist, that people are basically good, and can’t be held accountable for the wrong they do. It’s just better to talk with people, it believes, since we are basically all the same rather than fighting to stop those committing crimes of terror.
The U.S. is under attack from radical Islam because it is seen as a Christian nation, and for no other reason. Israel is also under attack because it is a Jewish nation—no other reason! It is about religion. These two nations, one called the “Great Satan,” and the other the “Little Satan.” Both proclaim Judeo-Christian principles are in the crosshairs of radical Islam. Like it or not, it’s not about our culture.
That the Obama administration refuses to even acknowledge the existence of radical Islam is a major part of the problem. Self-loathing replaces righteous indignation and begets appeasement. Among the Obama elite, the conviction widely held is that there is no military solution to the current problems. It is believed that our own government is a repository of evil and terrorism is a punishment for our past sins. The “We have met the enemy, and he is us,” attitude replaces an effective response with appeasement. [....]

Obama did it again: Loose lips on terror alert sabotages U.S. intelligence...
from Red Flag
[....] Intelligence officials are dismayed that the administration provided so much detail on what prompted the closings, and that the disclosures could work against obtaining new information. Militants are now likely searching for the sources of the information to both the U.S. and Yemeni officials, and almost certainly will kill anyone they suspect of working with Western intelligence.
“There simply are not that many who would know about the attacks,” says one former high-ranking U.S. intelligence officer, “so it won’t be hard for al Qaeda leaders to pin-point the sources of information. Once that happens, they certainly won’t be working with us anymore.”
[....] the terrorist threat is one of the most difficult targets in intelligence, and obtaining sources among terrorists is extremely hard.
“First of all, you’re dealing with a group that does not like Washington. If they have access to information, they are almost certainly highly indoctrinated. They live in remote areas of the world, are closely watched by their associates and speak languages U.S. intelligence officers rarely speak.
“You can’t just walk into an al Qaeda training camp and say, ‘Hi guys, I’m from the CIA and I would really like to hear what you have to tell me.’ Usually we have to use multiple layers of sub-sources to get any access at all, and even that is hard because these guys don’t trust anyone. Who do you think knows if they are going to attack an embassy? It’s something they hold very closely. You can’t believe how really hard this is.”
“Any statement like this, even though it seems relatively benign, will absolutely have repercussions. We’re going to have to start all over again,” adds an intelligence officer currently assigned to the Middle East. Read more via The Washington Times...

Obama Commits to Signing UN Arms Trade Treaty While Congress at Summer Recess
Minutemen News
The number one goal of the United Nations is to become the political entity that rules all nations or in other words, the one world government. To accomplish that goal, they have to continue to exert their authority and power over individual countries and they have been quite successful at doing this in recent years.
One of the key pieces of international law that needs to be in place before the UN can take over the world is to control all weapons, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, semi-automatic and automatic weapons and ammunition. Over the past few years, the UN has been pushing one treaty that will help to accomplish that goal. It is the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
The UN Arms Trade Treaty is a treaty that would regulate the international sale and transfer of all conventional weapons throughout the world. Conventional weapons are sea and land mines, rockets, missiles, cluster munitions, non-nuclear bombs, shells, small arms and light weapons. By small arms, they mean handguns, rifles and shotguns of all kinds, regardless of their use or design.
A number of Second Amendment supporters and gun rights advocates believe that this treaty could be used to further regulate guns in the US and infringe on the rights of Americans to bear arms. One hundred and thirty members of Congress jointly signed a letter to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, insisting that they reject the UN Arms Trade Treaty, saying:
“As your review of the treaty continues, we strongly encourage your administration to recognize its textual, inherent and procedural flaws, to uphold our country’s constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership, and to defend the sovereignty of the United States, and thus to decide not to sign this treaty.”
However, Kerry released a statement about the treaty, saying:
“We look forward to signing it as soon as the process of conforming the official translations is completed satisfactorily. [The treaty is] an important contribution to efforts to stem the illicit trade in conventional weapons, which fuels conflict, empowers violent extremists, and contributes to violations of human rights.”
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has indicated that President Obama intends to sign the treaty by the end of August. Speaking on behalf of Obama, Carney said:
“We believe it’s in the interest of the United States. While we look forward to signing the treaty, there are remaining translation issues that need to be resolved.”

Top 10 signs Obama’s ‘economic recovery’ is what’s phony
Tea Party Tribune
Since Democrats have decided to use wildly erroneous economic diversions to distract us from their campaign to reward millions of foreign criminals for illegally breaking into our country (and from Obama's heinous abuses of power), it is worth noting that there is a reason only 24% of Americans are better off under Democrat policies.
Here are the top ten signs that Obama's disastrous 'economic recovery' is actually just making everything worse:
10) Special needs families are being bankrupted and destroyed by Obamacare.
9) Young workers have been completely thrown under the bus and are now rampantly unemployed.
8) Our national credit rating has been downgraded and we are utterly bankrupt.
7) Obamacare's "affordable" health care plans are twice as expensive as the existing plans, and energy prices are continuing to skyrocket.
6) The labor force lost another quarter-million workers in July alone, and people continue to drop out of the job market in droves.
5) What's left of the Middle Class is being tirelessly obliterated as the entire net "gain" of jobs is being funneled to foreigners and immigrants.
4) The energy industry is being aggressively smeared, dismantled and replaced with bogus "green" technologies that pointlessly bankrupt companies and serve no actual purpose.
3) Workers are constantly having their hours cut and the only jobs being created are for low-wage part-timers. Fewer than half of all U.S. adults now have a full-time job.
2) Job-creators are being buried under an avalanche of tax hikes that are crippling economic growth.
1) There are now record numbers of Americans in poverty, on disability and on Food Stamps (which the left literally identifies as 'progress')
