Not the point.
The point being that what we saw as spontaneous demos in the Arab world may well have been begun by the USA as a matter of policy using some of the tools and techniques this author describes.
That we wittingly and with purpose, deepsixed our allies like Mubarak and perhaps even others in Araby.
Looks to me the US policy elites decided to roll the dice, get rid of the old guard, and take their chances with the popular majority even though it may mean allowing islamists into the rulings circles of places like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and even Bahrain and Yemen.
They are TRAITORS to the heritage of this nation. Those "elites" in both Parties. They had best tread lightly now, the U.S. Eagle has awakened from her slumber and does not like what she sees. The Dems are controlled by the Commies and the elitist Pubbies are largely "blind" Globalists. Screw them both.
You’re right - the point is the destruction of Israel and the United States.
From the cheapseats, it looks like the policy elited defected to the Islamists.
