I will furious very fast if this does not make into the foreign policy debate.
Wow. When the people whom are paid to obfuscate begin telling the truth then we are surely inside a failed Presidency.
Seriously is there even a question that an Ambassador in North Africa should have more protection than this guy had?
1. I think they already know who ordered the attack on the embassy. There is nothing to investigate. In any case, this isn’t a crime scene, its war. You don’t “investigate” a war, you either wage it or fail to wage it.
2. There is no philosophical or practical bright-line separating Al Qaeda from Muslim Brotherhood. There never has been. Zawahiri was Muslim Brotherhood. The problem we have is that, if we recognize that MB is AQ, we have to admit that our government is riddled with them and we have effectively switched sides in the “war on terror”. They won.
3. There won’t be any justice for Stevens because his bosses are in bed with the people who killed him. Heck, he was probably in bed with them too up until they decided to kill him. Still, since they can’t go after Morsi, they will probably bomb some tents full of some low-life trigger-pullers that no one will miss.
Note to self: don’t use Spooks in a title of an article mentioning zero.
Fixed it.
I pray that the CIA rebels.
This looks a lot like the prodrome of the 9/11/2001 Al Qaeda attacks. The run up to those attacks included attacks on our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania to which we had no effective response.
The present Libya and Egypt attacks bring our response into negative territory — our government is blaming us for exercising our First Amendment right of free speech.
In both cases Al Qaeda’s escalation was ignored.
