9/11 has become Obama's TV Charm Offensive day.HT: Scaramouchee.

In more ways than one:

President Barack Obama will make the television rounds on Monday to discuss the his plans for intervention in Syria in advance of next week’s Congressional votes.

Obama will give interviews to ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and Fox during the day on Monday, all of which will air during each station’s Monday evening news broadcasts. The White House announced the President’s media plans on Saturday.

Interviewers include Diane Sawyer for ABC, Brian Williams for NBC, Scott Pelley for CBS, Wolf Blitzer for CNN, Gwen Ifill for PBS, and Chris Wallace for Fox News. The President will also address the nation on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

That Barack just loooooves campaigning. You could even say it's what he does best.

Following are excerpts from a Friday sermon delivered by leading Sunni scholar Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Qatar TV on September 6, 2013:

Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: If only we could be the ones to retaliate against those people [the Syrian regime]. I wish there were an Islamic power capable of punishing these people. If only there was an Islamic power capable of drawing the line for the oppressors, and imposing upon them the punishment they deserve.

We do not have such power, however, so if they are punished by others, it is better than nothing. Allah pits the oppressors one against the other. The ancients used to say: "Oh Allah, keep the oppressors busy with one another, and let us emerge from among them intact." We do not pity those people when they are attacked by whoever strikes them, because they deserve to be attacked, just like they attacked the Muslims. Source: Memri.
