THANKS TO OBAMA'S POLICIES OF RETREAT AND APPEASEMENT, TALIBAN TAKING OVER KARACHI, PAKISTAN

NYTIMES - KARACHI, Pakistan — This seaside metropolis is no stranger to gangland violence, driven for years by a motley collection of armed groups who battle over money, turf and votes. But there is a new gang in town. Hundreds of miles from their homeland in the mountainous northwest, Pakistani Taliban fighters have started to flex their muscles more forcefully in parts of this vast city, and they are openly taking ground.

THANKS TO OBAMA - AND HIS RETREAT FROM AFGHANISTAN (AND IRAQ), THE TALIBAN MAY GET ITS HANDS NUKES BEFORE IRAN...

THERE IS NO PLACE ON EARTH THAT OBAMA HASN'T LEFT THE ISLAMISTS ON GREATER COMMAND.

UNDER OBAMA, THE ISLAMISTS MADE HUGE GAINS IN LIBYA, SYRIA, EGYPT, IRAQ, AND AFGHANISTAN, (AND THEY EVEN SOLIDIFIED THEIR HOLDS IN PHILIPPINES, AND THAILAND) - AND, OBAMA APPEASED ERDOGAN AND THE AKP IN TURKEY.

(ONLY MALI SEEMS LESS ISLAMIST - AND THAT IS DUE TO FRENCH INTERVENTION.)

SUCH CONSISTENCY CAN HARDLY BE THE RESULT OF ONLY INCOMPETENCE OR ACCIDENT.

IT MUST BE BY DESIGN.
