Top Ten Michele Bachmann Goofs on the Middle East

[pampango]

1. In 2011 Bachmann pledged that if she became president, she would immediately close the US embassy in Iran! (There has been no US embassy in Iran since it was invaded late in 1979).

5. Bachmann supported Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak to the end: Bachmann accused President Obama of “sitting on his hands” as Mubarak fell in February, 2011, arguing that somehow the US should have magically stopped massive crowds from overthrowing him. She characterized the young people in Tahrir Square as “radical.”

6. She charged that Huma Abedin, aide to Hillary Clinton, had infiltrated the US government on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. (I suggested, tongue in cheek, that Bachmann is herself a cat’s paw of that group).

7. Bachmann complained that President Obama had “put us in Libya” and now was “putting us in Africa” (with 100 troops sent to Uganda), apparently unaware of what continent Libya is in.

Cole must have had a difficult time narrowing this list down to a mere 10 crazy statements by Bachmann.

1. Let's look at these 'goofs' a bit differently, perhaps how a Teapublican would see them.......

1. Obama is catering to Iran by keeping the embassy open. To low information Teapublicn = Obama Bad.
5. Obama supports radical Muslims youths = Obama Bad
6. Obama appoints Clinton, Clinton hires radical Muslim = Obama Bad. Bonus points for Clinton Bad.
7. At least Bush didn't start wars in the country of Africa = Obama Bad.

On extra and one of my favorites....

3.

” I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States . . . if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play.”

So you see my friends in Jesus, Obama may not be the antichrist but it sure equals Obama Bad.
