Obama's Broad Coalition Cracks - UK, Germany Won't Support Airstrikes In Syria
Well that didn't take long. After espousing his strategy last night of leading a broad coalition against ISIS, it appears President Obama's "allies" are backing away from the plan. As The WSJ reports, Germany and the U.K. on Thursday ruled out carrying out air strikes on Islamic State militants in Syria. It appears the Europeans, realizing the ire that these actions will likely cause to Putin, are stepping back - "We haven't been asked, nor will we do it," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters and his U.K. counterpart Philip Hammond explicitly ruled out air strikes in Syria, after the U.K. parliament struck down such a move last year. So that leaves the French?
Germany and the U.K. on Thursday ruled out carrying out air strikes on Islamic State militants in Syria, a day after President Barack Obama authorized the start of U.S. air strikes there.
"We haven't been asked, nor will we do it," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters when asked about German participation in air strikes against the Islamic State, known as ISIL or ISIS, in light of Mr. Obama's speech.
"We need to be honest with ourselves in the current situation, we don't yet have a final, blanket strategy which guarantees that we'll be successful against ISIS and similar groups," the German minister said in Berlin.
His U.K. counterpart Philip Hammond explicitly ruled out air strikes in Syria, after the U.K. parliament struck down such a move last year.

Obama lied on 9/11 anniversary.
I don't see how he can complete his presidency honorably any longer.
He will be forced to resign.
That is my prediction. He is obstructing US interests.
Valerie Jarrett is bobos handler-she is pure concentrated evil!
We need to send this bitch Back to iran!
What we have here is a failure.
Early morning Kremlin phone calls for Mutti and Cameroon ?
Xi prolly rang as well.
The cross alliances with Syria, make bombing them a WWI redux.
The UK will not sell Syria any toxic gas weapons to kill their own people ....., oh wait........
Look at whats going on of late, there has been incidents involving black people and racism brewing. It started with the Ferguson shooting incident (which has I guess been swept under the rug now). Then you have the racial comments made by Sterling and Levenson, both billionaire Jews who own NBA teams, then you have the African people being 'unofficially being tested' with the Ebola virus that its making people everywhere wary of standing next to a black person anywhere.. AND the recent Ray Rice debacle showing how a midget black guy can go hysterical if you tick them off.
Maybe the message being depicted on MSM is to get the people to against the black people right now is to depict that blacks are not the right people to be in charge of this country, and since Obama is black, he should not be able to lead America anymore ...hence he is forced to resign (like what ekm said). Which could be the 'BLACK swan' event we are all waiting for.
btw, I have nothing against the blacks, I am just pointing these facts out on why everything is happening all at once...it cant be a coincidence.
Then again, maybe a lot of black people (as well as white) have been fucking up lately.
Maybe by the phrase "broad coalition" olbombya meant his wife and daughters and a couple of leftist females support more US terrorism.
Syria and Russia weigh in:
http://presstv.com/detail/2014/09/11/378417/us-attack-in-syria-act-of-ag...
your move NWO...
Time for a new offensive in Ukraine, I guess...
Sure. The last one ended up so well...
When do the American people get a say? Majority are against it regardless of party affiliation yet both sides in Congress support it. You know we're in trouble whenever the Democrats & Republicans agree on something.
Because people in the United States have no clue that the Federal Government( DC version) is a separate, independent entity that is a whore to Globalist power elites(Thanks Abe Lincoln).
That's why all this Red/Blue state shit is theater. There is no representative government anymore. Whomever has the most lobby money wins.
Seems to be the material of satire.... whatever it is.
...and Jews and women. There, now that we the people are properly divided we will be more easily conquered....
Keep your eyes on the ball. This "game" is a lot bigger than Obomber....
....
How can there be cracks in a coalition, when there was no coalition to begin with? : \
You didn't build that, mr Prezident!
More than Plausible.
Mutti fur sure.... Cameroon has other shit on his plate right now and would get blasted for another Anglo-American military action.
Leadership is an ephemeral trait, best understood by others than narcissists.
There's a community somewhere missing an organizer
There is a village somewhere missing an idiot. Fixed it for ya.
And a Kenyan village missing it's idiot!
"its", not "it's". try to make an efford. Jeez English is not my natural langauge and I probably speak it and write it better than you.
*effort ;)
How is this...
GO FUCK YOURSELF..with a dictionary
Obama is such an impotent man. I'm reminded of what a Drill Sgt. said to me at Parris Island in '69. " I wouldn't follow you into a whorehouse."
I wouldn't follow Obama into the whitehouse (same thing).
This is a win for obalo's plan, he doesnt not want to strike
What we have here is a money trail exposing itself.
We need to know exactly who we can trust. It's obviously not the EU.
Isolation is a bitch.
Back to Iran!?! She ought to be stoned (rocks) to death in accordance to her faith under Sharia Law.
she is not an Iranian... like Obama, her persona is a carefully crafted fiction:
"Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to African American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. One of her maternal great-grandfathers, Robert Robinson Taylor, was an architect who is sometimes cited as the first accredited African-American architect. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz in 1956, as part of a program where American physicians and agricultural experts sought to help communitize developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, later moving to Chicago in 1963.[3] In 1966, her mother was one of four child advocates that created the Erikson Institute. The Institute was established to provide collective knowledge in child development for teachers and other professionals working with young children.[4]
As a child, Jarrett spoke Persian and French.[5] One of her great-grandfathers was Jewish.[6]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Jarrett
Is she a Muzzie, too? (Just askin')
Wait a minute. She's muslim AND jewish? No wonder we're so fucked.
But that is not as hilarious as O’bama being part Irish.
>>is she a Muslim
how do you decide? based on what she says? or based on her actions... based on her actions, clearly not. Just another NWO satanist doing her god's work.
I didn't realize she was a member of the tribe. Figures.
You forgot the Chicago Slum Lord part.
Or is it Chicago Slum Lady when it is a woman?
Doesn't seem to have the same "ring" to it.
She thought she was going to make a freaking fortune until O’bozo, the wookie and Oprah had it stuck to them when the Olympic Committee chose Rio for the 2016 games over Chicago.
John,
Lets just agree shes a nasty Evil skank,
>evil
that goes without saying... she wouldn't be where is she is otherwise...
she's a Marxist piece of shit just like obama and the rest of his treasonous crew. That's all we really need to know about her, obama, and all the rest. Hanging is too good for scumbags like them.
Now we know why the Scotland referendum is such a big deal....UK has their own problems now that they cant be bothered with helping their buddy USA's problem.
Someone should really dissect this charlatans past to see how this disaster has come about.
From his dope smoking Hawaii days being raised by gramps and granny to his infamous intro at the democratic convention.
What a filthy impostor.
May the gods help this nation.
He's an Alinskyite. That's what drew him to shitcago of all places.
He's an Alinskyite. That's what drew him to shitcago of all places.
911 is one gigantic steaming pile of shit, so of course he lied, as bush did before him. besides, obamao was put in place precisely because he would work against the interests of the American people, for the most part through sheer ignorance and incompetence. the ideal puppet.
Obama got no mo game!!!!!!
"The Tool's Errand". Well done WB7

Will they also see a blinding light?
great pic WB
Spot the ass?
I see boots on the ground.
Just Excellant, WB7...
Thanks..
Sociopaths don't quit they just find new people to blame for their problems on.
To make it simple, the "bad guys" are in control and like it that way. They (Obama & co) are not going to quit while they are winning, in fact they are winning big. The good guys have been completely defeated and have given up. 1000 years of darkness ahead?
ekm: "He is obstructing US interests."
Please define "US interests" in: (a) Syria, (b) Ukraine.
Control of oil flow and defense of world trade
neither is a benefit to the average american. these are tools of the usury enslavement empire.
Ongoing US and US-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East has been the policy tool that has kept the oil flowing to the US for the past four decades. Bombing Syria is just the next domino in the progression. What would happen if Saudi Arabia or OPEC stopped shipping oil to the good ol' US of A? Well the last time it happen the US still had plenty of it's own oil but the price still quadrupled. What would happen now if oil went to $400 a barrell, or gas to $13 a gallon?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis
who knows what the true "cost" of oil should be... how much money is siphoned off by the MIC/banks/corporations? very had to say. I would trade more expensive oil for freedom from the global usury/MIC empire in a heartbeat...
WTF makes this day any different than any other day he lies? Nothing, he is a compulsive liar. As far as completing his presidency honorably, he gave up that option before he began it.
remember...they're all a bunch a fucking M.U.T.A.N.T.S.
M.arxist
U.topian
T.yrannical
A.uthoritarian
N.efarious

S.ociopaths
The Republicans want Obama around for the November elections as he is a dead weight loss to the Democrats. After the election with a Republican majority in both houses Obama will be summarily removed.
Will not happen without a military coup.
I'll put a ASE on it.
ASE hell, I'd put a Krugerrand on it. If Congress tried to remove O'bomb-a, the MSM and 'academia' would have a collective apoplexy while screaming racism at the tops of the their lungs 24/7.
The only way that happens is if the US military realizes that they will no longer be able to beat up, rape and pillage small countries for the banksters.
Putin should export S-300 anti-aircraft systems to all his allies who will not steal the technology (China). YThe USA at that point is very weak. Once the Eurasin, SHO, new SWIFT system is in place and the other EurAsian plans and GErmany's defection then it is game over.
The US military is filled with politicians who have been selling out US soldiers since The Civil War. Military leaders almost always sell their soldiers out.
In order to remove a President, there must be a consensus among the entire elite. I believe it now exists and Obama will simply, quietly resign.
He may. The 'pressure' really hasn't even gotten off the ground yet. Give the geopolitical situation another 6 months. Forget about the domestic one...
This admin is a 6 year running joke
Oh, oh, let me write Obama's farewell speech!
Regards,
Cooter
The running joke goes back to 1913.
Well, we could say thousands of years in the ME.
It'll be interesting what the Republicans do once they have a majority in the Senate. They can take Obama to the cleaners and hold him accountable. He's not campaigning for some fun, oh it would be neat if more Democrats won an election in November, he's campaigning to stay out of jail.
Watch and see what happens. They will talk a good game, but there will be a lot of "hand wringing" about how they just can't seem to stop him. Mark my words.
The GOP-e does everything to block any conservative Congress members in primaries. Look at the outright fraud in Mississippi. The are still owned by the NeoCons and will go along with Obama.
The NeoCon RINOs amnesty scum includes McCain, Graham, Rubio, Flake, Corker, McConnel, Cochran, Cornyn and a bunch more. Sadly, they are as bad or worse then the Democrats because they pretend to be for The Constitution. Total evil scum. Those RINOs are as bad as Chuck Schumer.
I doubt that the republicrats will do anything at all beyond talking shit about what someone else is doing. The active participation level in the "do-nothing" congress is reminiscent of tumbleweeds and chirping crickets, like topping out WallStreet.
Each President pardons the previous...
only 6 yeas ?????? more like 300 of years
A broad coalition? So which broads will join the fight?
Fuck U O'Conman...
there is no democrat...
there is no republican...
just the ruling wealthy elite dedicated to the preservation of their power, privilege, and wealth...
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.
What kind of an asshat announces a coalition effort without first building a coalition?
Oh... never mind.
you spelled 'buying' wrong ...
Who announces a coalition without first building one?
Why, a Coalition Organizer, silly!
What does rhetoric for the sheeple have to do with reality? This is all about generating headlines for fools with facebook, twitter...
Just look at all of the "news" out of Ukraine. It's nothing but another disinfo campaign to confuse/comfort the apathetic.
"How does it matter now" in this stage of his remaining Presidency? /s
Since he knows he's a Lame Duck already, he only has to play it tactically to help the Dems in the Nov. elections, and then go back to maximum golf and fundraising for his Obama Library. By the time the next POTUS takes office, things will be so "impossible", that it'll make Obama look "good". Alas.
But, if the USD loses its GRC on his watch, the MFer deserves a Nobel Prize in Economics. That would be a real hoot: A Nobel Prize for Peace, and a Nobel Prize for Economics . For all the wrong reasons, and Krugman would have a stroke!
Up is down, black is white, peace is war, war is good, sometimes double-plus good.
The RoW is going to make sure that happens on his watch Jim.
Opportunity only knocks like this once in a century.
A total incompetant elevated to be the highest puppet in the
US because of his skin color.
When will the stores start having some good 9/11 sales?
"Patriot Day".
I keep trying to figure that one out.
If we believe the "meme" Saudis did it with a couple of Egyptians.
So it's Saudi Patriot Day?
Or are you a "Patriot" by being a civilian victim that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Or are they using "Patriot[ism]" to mean the last refuge of a scondrel?
Not clear on the intent here.
But yes, let's have the "9-11 Patriot's Day Building Supply Sales" across the land.
Followed by "Pearl Harbor Day Watercraft Clearence Sales".
Patriot Day sales?
Nah.... makes no sense.
That would interfere with Christmas sales beginning on October 1st. Mark my words.... Within 2 weeks Christmas shit starts getting pumped, what with all the robust consumer attitude so far this year.
The Halloween shit went out on the shelves right after the 4th around here.
Every country for itself. AS IT SHOULD BE. No foreign entanglements and all that......
Germany is going to be a NATO non-participant and may even leave it to join the BRICS - watch for France to join the boycott here
France? Well yeah, that's a given. But I'm not sure the oppostion is going to want them either.
It doesn't matter whether they join or not. They have no bombs and all the troops are on Parade duty along the Champs ElCheesee
It is difficult to fly a white flag from a modern jet. They won't go.
do you really think GERMANY is going to say goodbye to the EU and join the BRICS especially with all thats going on? GERMANY who has been in lock step with every sanction move handed out by dictate by the USG, you really think they are going to say screw you to USG and join the BRICS. what are you smoking. Theres too many muslims in Germany for USG to not stir shit up and wreak havoc in germany.
The midterm elections should be interesting for encumbents
Wage peace by drone and fighter bomber. I smell another Nobel Prize here.
In other news
Nobel Committee announces Northrop Grumman as lead sponsor of award ...
Germany and UK know that ISIS was made in America. And they know bombing a sovereign country may get them hauled up for war crimes at the Hague:
ISIS: The jihadist movement stamped “Made in America”The fact remains, however, that the US, the major European powers, and their regional allies all previously lent financial, military and political support to ISIS and similar groups, which have “Made in the USA” stamped all over them. They have, until now, played a significant part in Washington’s efforts to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, as part of a broader effort to gain control of the region’s vast energy resources and transit routes.
For three years, the US, along with the Gulf states and Turkey, poured billions into “opposition” groups, supposedly to unnamed “moderates,” but in reality to Al Qaeda-linked Sunni groups such as al-Nusra and ISIS to spearhead a sectarian war. The US, Turkey and Jordan have operated a base in Jordan where US instructors trained dozens of ISIS members. In an article last year, the New York Times confirmed that the CIA assisted Arab governments and Turkey by airlifting weaponry to these groups in Jordan and Turkey. The Guardian reported last March that British and French instructors were also involved.

Ha! Ha!
Douche.
No matter what happens, there will never be pipelines built in the ME. Never.
Not even the Chinese army has enough troops to protect every foot of pipe from 'terrorists/freedom fighters'.
And I wouldn't bet heavy on floating LNG receiving terminals, either.
CrimsonAv: What kind of an asshat announces a coalition effort without first building a coalition? Oh... never mind.
I'll take a "community organizer" puppet with a whitewashed past from shitcago for $300 Alex.
kakaka - about frigging time the DC fascist gets the BIRD!
Now, these mofo will unleash their ISIS (CIA black ops terrorist group) and then tell its allies I told you so. Nothing good comes from fascist/Nazis. All its allies should be on high alert from Langley induced black ops.
We will have a coalition after the false flag that decimates a US city and is blamed on Russia,Iran and Syria...
edit: anytime now......
It wont be today, they know we are watching.
This admin is a running joke, and it trickles right down to the States and City governments as well.
More like what trickled down my leg when I got dysentry.
Pray tell, what do you think a Romney presidency would have done differently? Or a McCrazy presidency with Sarah by his side?
They would have started WWIII by now most likely.
No. McCain is an evil idiot and Romney is marginally better. They would have been boxed in more and probably stopped by the public and media. Obama can do anything and is.
It's getting easier and easier to find out who the bad guys are.
No BIS Central Bank for $50, Alex.
It's like the school yard kids keep daring Zero to do something setting him up to get egg on his face. It's incredibly sad to watch what a pathetic joke this administration is.
You have won the Nobel Prize... for kickboxing!
"so that leaves the French?"
Not the French but François Hollande the guy who could fuck up a cup of coffee. Good luck Uncle Sammy!
We're in because we need US in Lybia and in Africa
Boy, that de-escalated quickly.
Well, the military industrial complex would always like Europe to jump into such things, since a lot of stuff they would use creates even more profits. But hey, when the money runs out, the money runs out, eh France?
This morning i heared that the Dutch are willing to jump in and assist.
They were not invited to the first meeting because "the room at the NATO conference was to small to let us all in".
I am really ashamed for my gouverment right now.
Sorry to you all.
I think this speaks volumes about OZero being abandoned by his (original) handlers so he has to come up with his "own" ideas and this is the result, 1 day he wants to arm the Syrian Rebels the next he wants to bomb them, after that maybe a Beer Summit or a Round of Golf with them?
He's just told to waste as much money as possible without producing results. So far, spectacular results at that.
I am beginning to wonder how he can consistently fuck up a pre written script
like this.
TPTB wanted an unimpeachable puppet, and it could be backfiring on them.
Or he is following it perfectly.
Or he is working his own plan, by deliberately fucking up TPTB plan.
With a track record like his, a disaster would be an improvement.
Every single thing Obama does shows his ineptitude for everyone to see.
Obama is the least competent president in U.S. history.
Inept? I think not. He is wildly successful. Highly competent. Look at how much destruction he's effected/done while fooling almost everyone into thinking he's trying to fix things.
Thank you for the common sense. Everybody seems to miss this. His job is to destroy the US and as you say he has done a outstanding job. They cannot bring themselves to admit he hates our country and his job as he saw it was to "cut us down to size" By the time he leaves the US will be a total wreck
"fundamentally transform America" - boiling the frogs
Looks like "fake" news ... no link to any real WSJ story! Unless they are saying they will strike ISIS in Iraq, but not in Syria ... and leave that to the US, and maybe France?
so all we have is the French, but they are pussies...
Gee, I can remember long ago when the failure to have France be part of a coalition was a sign of Bush's complete failure.
I thought UK and someone else, thought it was France, denied several days ago they would not themselves execute air strikes. It's also not clear that any of them are going to put "boots on the ground" combat troops up, either.
They have to support the strikes. There was echo added to Obama's night to emphasize the scariness of the situation. He only uses echo when it's serious.
As a non American i sometimes wonder "where does he get this kind of ideas" and why does he think there will be followers.
As an American, let me answer your apparently rhetorical question: Él es un idiota.
let's call a spade a spade. IF the US could be trusted to only target ISIS, then Syria, Iran, Russia, the UK, and Germany would all agree to airstrikes in Syria.
The FACT is that Syria, Iran and Russia do NOT TRUST the US to only attack ISIS, and neither do Germany or the UK.
The US has burned their bridges. After Iraq, Iraq II, Libya, Afghanistan +++ (all based on lies) there are few countries that trust the US, if any.
The USA cannot be trusted for anything. Endless lies and corruption.
Can you blame them? Did not have a strategy a few days ago and now the administration delivers political speech for damage control. If elections were not around the corner this speech would not have occurred the way it did. Hard to fault other countries from not boarding the war bus that Obama is driving.
And, out of all this crap, one question nags; who, or what, are the 38% who still carry his water?
The turds someone left in the gene pool.
apparently you don't have a high balance EBT card
I guess the 'coalition' is made up of countries who have no air force, army or navy but do have a vote in the UN or whatever other international criminal organization that somehow has the power to allow our sitting (or putting) President (in name only) to circumvent the Constitution and attack whomever he damn well pleases?
What an embarrassment of a president....he really must be as dumb as he appears if he announces his 'strategy' to take on our US-created problem in ISIS before he actually checks with those he claims to be in support of it to see if they're really in support of it. I am seriously LOL over here on this...what a moron!
Well, it's pretty obvious that the UK and Germany aren't taking Obomber's speech Syria-s-lee.
London's afraid of Russia's financial/economic retaliation, and Germany's afraid of same.
Obomber's not afraid. Why not? First, you have to have a stinking clue in order to have fear - he doesn't
Second, he's just acting-out to try to boost his ratings in the polls. It's a stupid, transparent attempt.
No they are afraid of the International Criminal Court. Countries like Sudan, Israel, USA and Ukraine refuse to accept the Court and reneged on their signatures.........they wish to be exempt from being held to account
What gives the U.S. the right to just go in and start bombing in another country without their approval? How do you think Americans would react if it happened here?
Because Obama

The indictments at Nuremberg were for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_principles
Principle III states, "The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law acted as Head of State or responsible government official does not relieve him from responsibility under international law."
Principle VI states,
"The crimes hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under international law:
WOW...its like a repeat from last summer, Obummers coalition is Reggies golf balls on his chin.
How would that stop the bombing? Obama will just send Harper to do the dirty deed and say that's a broad coalition.
It's a great day on the planet when any jurisdiction rejects the conceited US hegemeny. And in particular our Ojan Whorse.
Time for the Germans to throw out the occupiers?
The French are in (From RT) "The minister added that while Paris is working close with the government in Baghdad, a similar cooperation cannot happened with President Bashar Assad of Syria, “because he has an established link" with IS.
"That is why we will continue to help the moderate Syrian opposition, which is fighting both" the Islamic State and the Assad regime, he said.
It’s not clear what Fabius’ allegation is based on, considering that the Assad government has been battling for months against IS militants, who grew to become the strongest of the armed groups opposing Damascus as they capitalized on the weakness of the Syrian authorities amid the ongoing civil war there.
Sooo... According to the French Assad is supporting IS. WTF!
Oh, I forgot about the YouTube videos, damn, he must be.
