The current unrest in the middle east is a signal that the Mahdi-or islamic messiah is here.Why is our President supporting radical islamist take over of libya.Why did he support the radical islamic radical brotherhood take over of Egypt.The middle east is on fire and somebody is building the next Caliphate....We are fighting the same radical nuts in Iraq and Afghanistan,now it is ok to support take over of two new victim countries.
Actually the USA and the Brits continue to be stupid victims of their own idiots in their own state departments. We are dealing mostly with a society that is tribal/religious fanatics stuck in the year 875.Now these people have overrun Europe and desperately infiltrating the USA to promote their religion.

you know we been bleeping with those people for years.
Plan:
For years, Britain had a spiffy trade deal with Iran regarding their prodigious oil fields. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was basically a giant money machine for the Anglo half, while the Iranian half got shafted. That all changed in 1951 when Iran nationalized the AIOC and the Iranian parliament elected Mohammed Mossadegh as Prime Minister. Mossadegh was relatively secular, something that pissed of Iranian clerics, but he was also very nationalistic. When Britain tried to regain control of the AIOC, he gave them the finger. Tea was spilled, crumpets were dropped and monocles everywhere popped out in shock.
Britain
You can guess what happened next. Jolly old England went to its ally, the United States, and convinced President Dwight D. Eisenhower to help overthrow the democratically elected leader of Iran and install a pro-West monarchy. Together the CIA and British intelligence services funneled guerrilla troops, anti-Mossadegh propaganda and tons of bribes into Iran.
How did that work out?
In the short term? Great! The mostly ceremonial position of Shah (king) of Iran was restored to its former imperial glory, but this time as a puppet of the West. The White House and Tehran became BFFs, and as long as the US government overlooked the numerous human rights abuses happening in Iran, all was well.
Until 1979, that is, when a pissed off Iranian populace finally revolted and replaced the monarchy with an anti-West Islamic Republic. One messy hostage crisis later, and Iran and the US were no longer BFFs. But hey, at least the US learned a very important lesson about overthrowing the governments of unfriendly Middle Eastern countries.

It sure looks more and more like Obama could qualify to be the AntiChrist.
My understanding = The AntiChrist is supposed to precede the Mahdi
I didn't believe this a few weeks ago.! ! ?
