I’m with you. No way the attack using massive firepower was part of the “spontaneous mob anger”. These people riot and all the time and it’s not hard to get them fired up. I don’t recall many embassy protests with heavy firepower and RPG’s. If you wanted to attack an embassy what better cover than a mob after you made sure the host nation would not respond? What better date than 9/11?
Get in and accomplish your objectives and you win.
Defenders at the embassy gun down unarmed rioters you win.
Even if the host government had no idea (I believe they knew) the radicals win if the interim government responds and quells the riots because they are siding with “the Great Satan”.
The obvious does not seem to be considered by our media. I bet they were hoping that the Marine guards or others would turn their guns on the crowds. Had that happened, you would see massive crowds rioting today.
Instead of asking hard questions about these incidents they are focused on a statement by Mitt Romney?
Dick Morris said on Greta show that many in the U.S. diplomatic community are incensed over the administration’s failure to safeguard embassy personnel and are leaking the truth to the news media.
