Carney made it clear that the protests across the Muslim world targeting U.S. embassies and consulates, is in no way directed at the policies of President Obama’s administration.
Carney said that the protests were exclusively aimed at a video which is highly critical of Islam that a U.S.-based filmmaker put online in June:
This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive and – to Muslims.
Once Carney said this, I recognized instantly at the time that this was a giant coverup. The was the tack the WH was going to take to defend themselves against the charge that their policies were a failure. Notice how categorical Carney states this. No reservations or qualifiers. They painted themselves into a corner and then doubled down with Rice a few days later. I guess they counted on the entire MSM buying this with no follow up.
Having watched it in real time and seen it was a terrorist attack when it was happening and then blaming it on a video is just insane.
Two weeks after the attack Obama addressed the UN and said SIX TIMES that it was the video that caused the faux "protest" and the killings.
They could have acted in real time as another poster has mentioned and sent support and most likely prevented this Islamic Muslim terrorist slaughter.
Is there a link to the video that so offended the muslims, or has it been scrubbed?
I'll bet it exposed Islamic Muslim haters for what they are, and that is what "offended" the crybaby terrorism supporting muslims.
