American Media Shield Obama and Hillary from Libyan Debacle
AIM ^ | September 20, 2016 | Roger Aronoff

With a new report from the British Parliament condemning their own country’s decision to help intervene in Libya, the mainstream media have started to rewrite history. The media’s revisionism seeks to repair the damaged foreign policy legacy of President Obama by making the decision to intervene in Libya the fault of foreign countries, particularly France and England.

A CNN article written with this purpose in mind bears the headline, “Britain’s Libya intervention led to growth of ISIS, inquiry finds.” Angela Dewan writes, “Britain’s military intervention in Libya was based on ‘inaccurate intelligence’ and ‘erroneous assumptions,’ a report released Wednesday found, pointing the finger at former Prime Minister David Cameron for failing to develop a sound Libya strategy.” Yet, she adds, “the United States became involved and played a key role.”

The role of America in this debacle is not just an addendum to the interference by Britain and France. As The New York Times reported back in February, Hillary Clinton’s “conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel [Muammar] Qaddafi’s forces.” The Times article cites former Defense Secretary Robert Gates as crediting Mrs. Clinton’s influence in tipping the scales for Obama to favor intervening there.

"Despite the presence of other nations in the coalition, Mrs. Clinton took credit for the early developments in Libya. She announced on television, “We came, we saw, he died.” Her aide, Jake Sullivan, wrote in a State Department email that Mrs. Clinton had “leadership/ownership/stewardship of this country’s [L]ibya policy from start to finish.”

This headline is a great example of what it implies. LOL

BETTER headline: "Media Shields the American people from the Obama and Hillary Libya Debacle"

0dunga/Hillary had to clear a path for the refugees going into Italy, right? And other areas cleared so ISIS can take over JUST LIKE IRAQ.

No susrpise - in post-modern America the media are nothing more than a half-arsed Ministry of Information cheering on the Supreme Soviet.

American Media Shield Obama and Hillary from Libyan Debacle

Which is just another reason among many why we should consider it our duty to eradicate the existing one party control of the news and entertainment industries.

The MSM are disgusting and their hands covered in blood. The Witch laughed at a war crime committed on Gaddafi. He was a prisoner who was dragged through the streets, shot multiple times and his body abused. That’s a war crime of which the Jihadic Arab Spring committed numerous times in Libya. All well documented. But when you’re part of the NWO you get a pass. All under the approving gaze of Clinton and Obama.

Notice how completely uninterested the MSM is in regard to the 5 Trillion dollars Khaddafi had scattered across international banks. Where did it go? Was this just the biggest robbery in world history?

A CNN article written with this purpose in mind bears the headline, “Britain’s Libya Bush's Iraq intervention led to growth of ISIS, inquiry finds.” Angela Dewan writes, “Britain’s Bush's military intervention in Libya Iraq was based on ‘inaccurate intelligence’ and ‘erroneous assumptions,’ a report released Wednesday found, pointing the finger at former Prime Minister David Cameron Bush for failing to develop a sound Libya Iraq strategy.” Yet And, she adds, “the United States Kingdom became involved and played a key very minor role.”

Edited to CNN's Yellowcake Bush standards. Now they just need to scream it 24/7/365 instead of mumble it once on a Firday afternoon.
