The 9/11 attacks on the US embassies were not about a movie

Here are a couple of facts:

On June 4 the White House confirmed that the US had killed Abu Yahya Al-Libi - OBL's Libyan lietenant who had moved into Al Qaeda's #2 spot after Ayman Zahawiri after the Navy SEALs whacked OBL.

On Tuesday 9/11, a tape was released of Zawahiri announcing that Libi had been killed earlier this year by a US drone attack. The Zawahiri tape was made during Ramadan which ended in the middle of last month. Zawahiri called for his terrorist underlings to avenge Libi's death and especially exhorted Libyans to take revenge.

The attack in Libya was well planned and executed. It wasn't about a spontaneous protest against some ridiculous internet movie of Muhammad. The assailants came armed to the teeth, with among other things, RPG 7s. They knew that the US Ambassador was in Benghazi rather than Tripoli. They knew how to track his movements, and were able to strike against him after he and his colleagues left the consulate building and tried to flee in a car. As Israel Channel 2's Arab Affairs Correspondent Ehud Yaari noted this evening, you don't often see well trained terrorists participating in protests of movies.

Then there is the attack in Cairo. They were led by Mohammad Zawahiri - Ayman Zawahiri's brother. According the Thomas Josclyn in the Weekly Standard, the US media has been idiotically presenting him as some sort of moderate despite the fact that in an interview with Al Jazeerah he said said, "We in al Qaeda..."

Egypt's US supported Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi recently released Zawahiri from Egyptian prison. The same Barack Obama who has no time in his schedule to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu next week in New York, is scheduled to meet Morsi.

The Egyptian government has not condemned the attack on the US Embassy in Cairo. But Morsi is demanding that the US government prosecute the film's creator.

You may be wondering how some movie no one's heard of has caused such a hullabaloo. Well, as it turns out, the film was screened on an Egyptian Salafist television channel. Obviously the Salafists -- many of whom, like Zawahiri were released from prison by Morsi, wanted to stir up anti-US violence on the eve of 9/11. So if the film is responsible for the violence, a finger needs to be pointed to its chief distributor -- Al Qaida's Egyptian friends and members.

With these facts in hand, it is clear that the attempts to present these acts of war against the US as the consequence of some stupid nothing movie are obscene attempts to deflect the blame for these unwarranted attacks onto their victims and away from their perpetrators.

Only an Obama suck-up would believe it was all about the movie.

Would Hillary's State Department have us to believe that the following movies that invoked violence in the Mohammedan World?

1983: "A Christmas Story" must have triggered the Beirut attacks.
1985: "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge" brought us TWA Flight 847 attack.
1988: "Rain Man" brought us Pan Am Flight 103.
1993: "Jurassic Park" inspired the first attack on the World Trade Center
Also in 1993: "Mrs. Doubtfire" must have led to the Mogasishu events in Somalia
1996: "Independence Day" enraged the Middle East and brought us Khobar Towers attack.
1998: "Armageddon" led to Nairobi events.
2000: "Mission: Impossible II" seemed fitting in encouraging the attack on the USS Cole (Tom Cruise makes me mad, too).
2001: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" must have set off the attacks in the US using airliners.
2002: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" set off the attacks in Karachi.
2003-2008: Harry Potter must have been a spark that set off radicals in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2009: "Avatar" obviously set off the radicalized Army regenagade that influenced the Ft. Hood massacre.

Expert debunks Obama flak chuckers.

. . . it is clear that the attempts to present these acts of war against the US as the consequence of some stupid nothing movie are obscene attempts to deflect the blame for these unwarranted attacks onto their victims and away from their perpetrators [and the Obama Administration].

Riot- nothing to do with movie

THE deadly attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi was planned and “meticulously executed. “ the country’s assembly chief said.
