US-commanded MFO in Sinai under attack — dead reported in compound

Israel media  - Channel 2 – just reported that the US-commanded Multi-National Force Observors headquarters in the Sinai is under assault. Salafists laid seigesiege to the building this afternoon and some 50 armed men stormed it. There is fighting going on in the building and there are dead inside.

The MFO is the force that was established under the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. It is charged with guaranteeing the demilitarization of the Sinai.
The MFO has two bases. I believe that the one under attack is in northern Sinai, built on an old Israeli Air Force base.
The MFO has come under attack several times since the outset of the US-supported Islamic revolution there. The US approved and forced Israel to accept the deployment of Egyptian tanks in the Sinai some weeks ago as part of a much touted counterterror offensive of the Egyptian military. Its results were inconclusive but at Israel’s insistence, the tanks were removed a couple weeks ago. Egyptian President Morsi supports the remilitarization of the Sinai. It is hard not to see the strategic implications of this attack on the MFO.
As I emailed some of you earlier all flights out of Ben Gurion International Airport are sold out.  From my time, abeit small role, in the NCA framework telephone lines and WWMCCS would be melting right now but since we have a CinC that votes present I’m not sure anybody here really gives a flying fuck anymore.

    President Barack Obama has bowed to the Muslim Brotherhood’s demand that the federal government suppress a satirical video of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad.

    Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Washington Post that the White House has “reached out to YouTube to call the video to their attention and ask them to review whether it violates their terms of use.”

    The request complies with the Sept. 13 demand and threat by the brotherhood, which now governs the Arab’s world’s largest country, Egypt.

    “Hurting the feelings of one and a half billion Muslims cannot be tolerated, and… we demand that all those involved in such crimes be urgently brought to trial,” according to an English-language statement on the brotherhood’s website.

    The brotherhood’s demand included a threat of additional violence during Obama’s re-election campaign.

    “The people’s anger and fury for their Faith is invariably predictable, often unstoppable,” said the website.

    Keep yer powder dry, folks. Next stop on the Muzzies world tour may just be here in our own backyard. I’m hoping to be wrong, but the fear is there, and regrettably so. pResident Pissy-pants is showing we Patriots what we already knew: capitulation shows weakness to your enemies. And boy-howdy, does he capitulate. God bless our Armed Forces in harm’s way.

    Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House Senior Advisor and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett has a full Secret Service detail on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, according to Democratic pollster Pat Caddell.

    That’s the pathetic foreign policy of the Obama administration, says Caddell today in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. “Jarrett seems to have a 24 hour, around the clock detail, with five or six agents full time,” Caddell explains. “The media has been completely uninterested. We don’t provide security for our ambassador in Libya, but she needs a full Secret Service security detail. And nobody thinks there’s anything wrong with this. And nobody in the press will ask. What kind of slavish stoogery are they perpetrating here?

    “This country has reached the point of absurdity. There are people dead because we don’t have security details for them. But she’s privileged to have a full Secret Service detail on vacation?”

    UT Austin campus reopening after threat, classes cancelled for the day

    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The University of Texas says all university buildings have been cleared and are reopening after a bomb threat prompted an evacuation of the Austin campus.

    The university posted on its website that all classes have been canceled for the remainder of the day Friday but other university activities will resume by 5 p.m.

    The school had issued an alert shortly before 10 a.m. Friday telling people to immediately evacuate all campus buildings and “get as far away as possible” after the school received a phoned-in bomb threat.

    I figure by Monday the EMP will go off over Iran and that should get things put back into perspective for the Mad Mullahs. But in the mean time, I found this:

    Almost three weeks after accepting his party’s nomination for President, Mr. Romney was yet to receive an intelligence briefing.

    Given the gravity of issues facing a prospective commander-in-chief, it has become customary for each party’s nominee to receive regular intelligence updates during the run-up to the fall election. In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama received his first briefing just five days after accepting the Democratic nomination.

    So why hasn’t Mitt Romney received the same courtesy? According to a spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence, it’s a matter of “logistics.”

    Makes one wonder if the Obama administration would have been more vigilant if Romney knew of the assessments. Or maybe, they didn’t want him to know their plans.

    German Paper: ‘Obama’s Middle East Policy Is in Ruins’
    Wikimedia Commons

    BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
    September 14, 2012 2:38 pm

    While the U.S. media focuses on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s reaction to the attacks on American embassies across the Middle East, the international media has focused its attention on the actual president, Barack Obama.

    In a roundup of international opinion, German Der Spiegel featured this take from the conservative Die Welt:

    “US President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy is in ruins. Like no president before him, he tried to win over the Arab world. After some initial hesitation, he came out clearly on the side of the democratic revolutions. … In this context, he must accept the fact that he has snubbed old close allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian military. And now parts of the freed societies are turning against the country which helped bring them into being. Anti-Americanism in the Arab world has even increased to levels greater than in the Bush era. It’s a bitter outcome for Obama.”

    “Obama was naive to believe that one only needed to adopt a new tone and show more respect in order to dispel deep-seated reservations about the free world. In practice, the policies of the Obama administration in the region were not as naive as they may have seemed at times, and the Americans have always been much more involved in the Middle East than the passive Europeans. But Washington has provided the image of a distracted superpower in the process of decline to the societies there. This image of weakness is being exploited by Salafists and al-Qaida, who are active in North Africa from Somalia to Mali.”

    “One thing is clear: If jihadists believe they can attack American installations and kill an ambassador on the anniversary of Sept. 11, then America’s deterrent power has declined considerably. For a superpower, it is not enough just to want to be loved. You have to scare the bad guys to keep them in check.”

    Will the head of the Marines, Navy SEALS, Rangers and Special Forces let their people get slaughtered, or stand up to that fucking pussy coward impostor? Or will Israel have to take care of business AGAIN? Well at least THEIR C-I-C knows what to do.

    Meanwhile, Obama declares there IS a red line on Iran but no one but him knows what it is. Riiiight. And then fucking Mitt Romney AGREES with Obama. Does ANYONE in this country have any balls?!

    ALERT! ISRAEL 9-11-12 (I’m passing along an Email I just received concerning Israel)…

    Urgent Prayer needed: A friend received this e-mail 9.11.2012 From A.G. Missionary
    ************************************************
    My brother and his family live in Jerusalem – he is a minister – and a former Navy SEAL – his office is close to one of Israel ‘s largest underground military bases.
    He called me last night (9/10/2012) which is very unusual – usually it is email.

    He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.

    He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel .
    What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway.

    Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows.

    In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinai where Egypt has now moved in Armor.

    There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel ‘s Sr. Rabbi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign.

    His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people.

    He is convinced that barring something extraordinary, Israel will attack Iran — with or without the US – and very soon.
    It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries.

    He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing.

    He was at the Wailing-(Western)-Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall.

    He has never seen this before either.
    Just thought I would pass this along.

    My brother is not an alarmist by any means.
