Well again... you are now claiming facebook/twitter posts aren't reliable evidence, but you've argued that a YouTube video caused protests and uprisings. Face it, you morons just pick and choose what "truth" you're going to tell on a minute-by-minute basis! It doesn't matter if what you say contradicts what you just said, we're supposed to forget that and just hear what you're lying out your ass about NOW!
I tell ya what we DON'T deserve... "Leaders" who LIE and MISLEAD while jaunting off to Vegas to raise money for their political campaigns, while an Ambassador is hold-up in a bunker waiting for a rescue that isn't coming! And to have YOU still trying to SPIN your way out of this, is PATHETIC!
You right wingers are the only ones confused. You are either lying or you are just dumbfounded by your own spin. I have not contradicted myself once. The Middle East is a biiiiigggg place. There is lots going on there. There are many actors and motivations. They don't all have a direct line to Al Quaida, they don't all agree with that organization and they are not all motivated by the same things.
The twitter and facebook posts of Ansar al Sharia are not reliable proof unless YOU CLAIM that Ansar al Sharia was solely responsible, the attack was a spontaneous uprising with no planning and entirely motivated by the video. I don't believe that. Neither did the administration. They expressed doubts about that and continued to investigate. The email concerning Ansar al Sharia shows the EARLY intelligence that was later discredited. It shows why the administration thought there MIGHT be a connection between BENGHAZI and the videos.
The protest in Cairo and across most of the region were absolutely about the video. The producer was a Coptic Christian and if you were not such a xenophobic dipshit that lumps them altogether you might know that theiur are strong tensions between Coptics and Muslims in Egypt.
The proof of that is not based solely on a youtube video of the "Innocence of Muslims." There were instigators within Egypt that replayed the video. Do you want me to show you all the images and news reports of portesters holding signs denouncing the video again?
The Ansar al Sharia in Benghazi seemed to have taken action after seeing what happened in Cairo. They were calling for more such uprising and attacks. There is another militia group suspected of having been involved that may have had more direct ties and there planning may have been longer range.
What Napolitano said is quite accurate. There are many militia groups running around Lybia and it is a chaotic situation created by the toppling of the regime. However, I am not so sure there is/was any better alternative. I also agree with his distaste of Obama's unilateral act of war. Not so much because of this one incident but because of the precedent it sets. Obama skipped going to congress because the Republicans lead by the psychopath McCain were going to demand that we go in with massive force, bog ourselves down and create another Iraq.
I am not contradicting myself. It's just a complex and complicated issue which is why it confuses simpleminded morons or as they are known in US, Conservative Republicans.
SF has not really considered any of this, he is just kissing ass and anything that gives him a reason to bash Obama is good enough for him.
