California Conservative

CAIR is telling its members to support the Biden-Hagel resolution. After recommending support for Biden-Hagel, they add this:

CAIR noted that the non-binding resolution, introduced by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., stated that “greater regional and international support would assist the Iraqis in achieving a political solution and national reconciliation” and “the United States should transfer, under an appropriately expedited timeline, responsibility for internal security and halting sectarian violence in Iraq to the government of Iraq and Iraqi security forces.”

This is classic CAIR doublespeak. CAIR wants the United States to turn control over to Iraqis “under an appropriately expedited timeline” but they make no stipulation that that should happen when Iraqis can defend themselves. It’s worth asking if they don’t care whether their Iraqi brethren can defend themselves? Or is it that they’d prefer seeing al Qaeda and Iran use the sectarian violence to take control of Iraq? They certainly know that Iran is behind the sectarian violence. Surely they know that al Qaeda is looking for a new training base after getting run out of Afghanistan in 2002 and Somalia a couple weeks ago.

CAIR also knows that most of the countries in the region don’t want to see democracy flourish in Iraq because Iraq’s democracy would endanger their kingdoms. Iran and Syria aren’t interested in dealing with a democratic Iraq. Iran’s students have protested against the mullahs’ rule. These students want a democracy but the mullahs are vehemently opposed to it.

Furthermore, what other countries would assist Iraq? Would France? Or Spain? The facts speak for themselves. CAIR isn’t an honest broker in all this. It’s time we stopped treating them as such.
