Arming Al Qaeda supporting rebels had unintended consequences, what a surprise.

I’m stunned! Who woulda thought it?

Obama has armed and empowered Islamists throughout the ME and beyond.

Wasn’t there an unexplained warehouse at the Benghazi compound where Chris Stevens was killed?

Giving al Queda weapons in Libya is the gift that keeps on giving.

Lilies bloom from Arab Springs. Thank you, Mr. President.

Sounds like a few weeds sprouted during last year’s “Arab Spring.”

Figure this out:
http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/18/world/la-fg-us-mali-20130119
“...many of Obama’s top aides say it is unclear whether the Mali insurgents, who include members of the group Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, threaten the U.S...
The September attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, has provided fodder for both sides: AQIM members participated, U.S. intelligence officials have said, but the U.S. has found no evidence the attack was ordered or planned by AQIM.”

Obama armed the Mali terrorists, then says they’re just ‘participants’ in attacks on us and, therefore, not a threat.

Many of us will watch Secretary Clinton testify Wednesday, and the Republicans on the committee had better be "controversial." No pressure, or anything, just what little credibility the national GOP has left at risk, that's all.

Her head and other parts of her rhetorical anatomy are being served up on a platter.

I would not be at all surprised if some distraction happened to be stirred up hours before her appearance.

I am not convinced that it was “unintended”.

USA government issued arms and ordinance to Al Queda from Benghazi. Al Queda used the weaponry to attack the major gas plant operated by BP (oil spill in Gulf BP). When are the Brits going to wake up on this one?

This explains the Obama and Hillary Clinton near silence on the Algeria assault against the BP plant. They probably helped plan it. Also explains lack of USA cooperation with UK re hostages, and lack of USA cooperation with French military anti-terror anti-Islamist anti Al Queda Endeavour by French military in Mali.
