Jones is either an independent kook fringe flame thrower, or he’s a covert Obama operative on standby for when Obama needs some sort of cover or narrative.
Think of this: Obama could very well have had intel that these protests were coming. Knowing the thrust of these protests was anti-America, Obama’s strategerists needed a scapegoat so that Obama wouldn’t be cast as the military opponent of the leftist jihadists when he was forced by politics to appear to oppose them. Because to be the opponent of leftist jihadists is to be positioned, in the geopolitics of the day, as a right wing war monger. This would have thrown a wrench into Obama’s campaign strategy.
This would also explain the very strange action by General Dempsey—the General is also covering for Obama, making it seem as though the administration doesn’t like what Jones did.
The other way to make it more complex is to undertand that Obama is simply stupid.
Imagining that this crowd can conspire and plot and handle any sequence of events with more than two steps is just crazy talk.
