Attacks on Protesters in Cairo Were Calculated to Provoke, Some Say
New York Times ^ | August 16, 2013 | By Rick Gladstone
The ferocity of the attacks by security forces on Islamist protesters in Cairo this week appears to have been a deliberate calculation of the military-appointed government to provoke violence from the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, a number of Arab and Western historians of Middle East politics said Friday.
The objective, they said in interviews, was to demonize the Islamists in the eyes of Egypt’s broader populace.
“Given the propaganda of the state-supported media in Cairo, tarring the Muslim Brotherhood with the terrorist brush, making them enemies, not just a nuisance, is setting them up for being completely crushed and eliminated,” said Hugh Roberts, director of the Middle Eastern Studies Program at Tufts University. “To use an Algerian term, eradication.”
Many said the events since the forced removal of Mohamed Morsi, the first freely elected president, suggested that Egypt’s military commanders had concluded beforehand that they would gain nothing from negotiations with the Brotherhood, and would rather deal with it as an insurgent group that presented a security threat, not as a popular political movement.

Blast hits Egyptian consulate in Libya
Small blast causes some damage to consulate building in Benghazi, but no casualties reported.
Blast damages Egypt’s mission in Benghazi, Libya
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hillary Clinton exploded at a congressman two days after Benghazi for suggesting that the attack was the work of terrorists, says GOP Rep.
An Illinois Republican congressman told constituents at a town hall meeting on Wednesday that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton screamed at a fellow member of Congress two days after a U.S. diplomatic station in Benghazi, Libya was destroyed, merely for saying aloud that the attack was carried out by terrorist groups..
The Obama administration later acknowledged that reality.
But White House officials initially maintained that the deaths of four Americans and the firebomb attack on the State Department mission was the result of a spontaneous protest against a low-budget YouTube film that was critical of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
‘Two days after this attack,’ said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, ‘we were in a briefing with Hillary Clinton and she screamed at a member of Congress who’d dare suggest that this was a terrorist attack.’
‘Now we find out that while it was happening, they knew it was a terrorist attack. These are answers that we’re going to get to the bottom of.’

I posted a link to this thread on that NYT thread. The “news media” are so guilty that their hands are just as bloody as their pets, the MB.
That’s nonsense....the military doesn’t have to incite anything at all....the Jihadists are doing more than enough throughout Egypt and the sheep just naturally follow.........stupid think tanks need to get a grip!
Pardon me for being blunt.
This is to anyone of the media and the administration who COVERTLY reading this thread:
What’s happening in Egypt is the fault of this administration and their Islamist assistants in the WH. YOU, THE MEDIA, are allied with them to bring about the Moslem Brotherhood (MB, from now on, ignoramuses) to rule the Middle East and finish off Israel (to you lousy traitors to your own race, “supposedly” Jewish progressives).
If you stand on your ears, complemented with your lousy boss’s jug ears, it won’t do a thing to stop Egypt from saving the world from becoming a Caliphate!
For all practical purposes, your 0b0z0allah just just dumped our investment of over thirty four years in our Egyptian ally in Putin’s lap! Are you going to tell your readers and listeners that by cutting the aid to Egypt or forcing her to refuse it in ABROGATING the 1979 Camp David Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel? Of course not, you won’t!
Did you bother to tell the public who won the June 30, 2011 presidential election in Egypt? IT WAS SHAFIQ NOT MORSI, BY 200,000 VOTES AFTER ALL THE CHEATING THAT TOOK PLACE!
Oh, the proof of the above will come out in a House hearing in the fall. If the House Republicans have the balls that a couple of them have, we’ll see Anne Patterson, her deputy and an Egyptian witness who is very well known and respected by the West, testifying under oath on what really happened and why? I know the why, it’s the same tactic used here to scare Americans of black riots, rivers of blood in the street, if so and so happens! Then down of scared Americans throat with the progressive agenda “BUT” you’ll have the false safety!
When asked about MB violence if they lose, Shafiq answered: it will take TWO WEEKS to bring back the security and personal safety that the Egyptian people enjoyed and I guarantee it!
That was his downfall! It was utterly unacceptable to this administran, loaded with MB assistants, to allow driving the MB underground again for another 80 years!
I always said that accusing you of incompetence or ignorance is your best way out rather than exposing your REAL sinister, treacherous agenda to destroy this Republic and Western civiliszation.
The fat lady is starting her concert already. Your MB is all but done INTERNATIONALLY. There’s nothing you and your lousy partners in terrorism can do about. If you could, prey tell, why is Assad still surviving your onslaught?
Hi turkey! A lower case “t” is for 0b0z0, a capital “T” is for the traitor of Kamal Atatürk’s secular constitution, Erdogan!
I wish many of you read this and realize that no matter how much you duck, hide, lie, omit and accuse, your goose is cooked so fast that you have no time to turn the stove off!
See ya, LOSERS!
