The Arab world is pushing back on the U.S. policy of destabilization in the Middle East.

Egypt and the United Arab Emirates launched air strikes in Libya against Islamist militias, the rebels the U.S. backed in its war to topple Gaddafi.   It’s not hard to see why.

The U.S. sold advanced weapons systems to Qatar an active agent of this destabilization effort.  Qatar is an ally of Iran and NATO member, Turkey.  It is home to the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikwan) – a Nazi created global neo fascist movement that has successfully garnered the vocal support of western Leftists and liberals, anti-war activists, and high profile academics such as Cornell West, Noam Chomsky and Judith Butler.  Qatar also hosts the Hamas leadership, a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Both Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood are  backed by Washington and the E.U.  Likewise, the Muslim Brotherhood has been energetically promoted by International Crisis Group, a Soros created think tank whose members include U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power and former NATO commander Wesley Clark.

Meanwhile, in Iraq, the U.S.  left behind a veritable treasure trove of arms, tanks, Humvees, cash, and military infrastructure sufficient to outfit a small army — which apparently it has, as with virtually no significant resistance, it has been seized by ISIS – ISIL, an Iranian proxy army of Arab – Islamists that is setting it sights on Saudi Arabia – positioning itself to seize control of the all important oil triangle now that its chief obstacle, Sadam Hussein’s army, has been decimated through the bi-partisan efforts of Washington political elites .

Arab Nations Strike in Libya, Surprising U.S.

By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and ERIC SCHMITTAUG. 25, 2014

 

CAIRO — Twice in the last seven days, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have secretly launched airstrikes against Islamist-allied militias battling for control of Tripoli, Libya, four senior American officials said, in a major escalation of a regional power struggle set off by Arab Spring revolts.

The United States, the officials said, was caught by surprise: Egypt and the Emirates, both close allies and military partners, acted without informing Washington, leaving the Obama administration on the sidelines. Egyptian officials explicitly denied to American diplomats that their military played any role in the operation, the officials said, in what appeared a new blow to already strained relations between Washington and Cairo.

The strikes in Tripoli are another salvo in a power struggle defined by Arab autocrats battling Islamist movements seeking to overturn the old order. Since the military ouster of the Islamist president in Egypt last year, the new government and its backers in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have launched a campaign across the region — in the news media, in politics and diplomacy, and by arming local proxies — to roll back what they see as an existential threat to their authority posed by Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Arrayed against them and backing the Islamists are the rival states of Turkey and Qatar. […]

Several officials said in recent days that United States diplomats were fuming about the airstrikes, believing the intervention could further inflame the Libyan conflict as the United Nations and Western powers are seeking to broker a peaceful resolution. Officials said the government of Qatar has already provided weapons and support to the Islamist-aligned forces inside Libya, so the new strikes represent a shift from a battle of proxies to direct involvement. It could also set off an arms race.
