Canada congratulates Syria on successful election

Looks like uber-windbag John Baird has at last come to his senses; he is finally showing some respect for the impossible situation we, the Nations of Virtue, have forced on Bashar Al-Assad. Read the full text of Minister Baird's statement;

Statement on Syrian Election Results

June 4, 2014 - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today issued the following statement on the release of the official results of Syria's presidential election, which confirmed Bashar Al-Assad as president-elect:

“We congratulate President-elect Al-Assad on the results of the election. As we all know, difficult challenges face the president-elect in leading Syria toward a more democratic, inclusive, secure and prosperous future, but such a future is in the interests of all Syrian citizens. We continue to stand with Syria in its efforts to confront terrorism, including throughout the Syrian heartland, where Syrian security personnel are confronting a dangerous insurgency sponsored by the Nations of Virtue.

“Canada remains committed to supporting Syria in making a peaceful and meaningful transition to democracy, based on respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.

“This transition represents an important opportunity for Syria, one that can provide the Syrian people with the stability and prosperity they desire.”

Crappy Christmas for Muslim Brotherhood

Washington's Cairo satrap General el-Sisi has taken the gloves off... no more Mr. Nice Guy!

A gentle summer coup, months of patient negotiations about a transition to a more acceptable brand of democratic government, more acceptable than the democratically elected Morsi at least, and still the Koran-crazed fanatics run riot in the streets!

Enough of that!  The Muslim Brotherhood has been officially declared a terror organization. And there could not be a more symbolically significant day to make such a declaration than on the birthday of the baby Jesus!

Meanwhile, across the Mediterranean, Morsi's comrade in arms, the wily Erdogan, is lurching from crisis to crisis. As is usual for these radical Islamists, they must constantly blame their troubles on the USA. Erdogan's reckless slandering of American motives became so outrageous that US Ambassador  Francis Ricciardone was forced to issue a harsh rebuttal.

"Baseless attacks" and "intentional slander" is what those false tales in Turkish media were. The mere idea that anyone associated with the US embassy would ever have anything to discuss with the Ankara Young Businessmen's Association is outrageous!

I rather suspect that with denials so vehement, the story is probably true!

This would seem to be the end of America's long flirtation with the Muslim Brotherhood. There is a new champion of Islamic moderation waiting in the wings, a much more reliable chap than that MB crowd.

Fethulla Gulen, come on down!
