A note from Investigative Project on Terrorism Executive Director Steven Emerson:
…It was just revealed two days ago that FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant Arabic groups who in the past have defended Hamas and Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements. At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed “offensive.” The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered “offensive” but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered “anti-Islam” by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
The February 8 FBI meeting was the culmination of a series of unpublicized directives issued in the last three months by top FBI officials to all its field offices to immediately recall and withdraw any presentation or curricula on Islam throughout the entire FBI.

This could have been avoided if he had used appropriate diplomacy and sanctions in a timely manner in lieu of the absurd bowing, cowtowing and moddly-coddling that has sent a message of U.S. weakness throughout the world. If Israel does strike because they see an existential threat, they might not be able to handle the job and I do not trust this President to support them.
Anyone who thinks the U.S. is not the main target or that this will pacify Iran is delusional. I do not want war. I want Obama to stop sending mixed and weak messages throughout the Arab world. What he is doing is not working.
