The
constant refrain from the media that the “anti-Islam” film
somehow “triggered” or “sparked” the violence
in Libya, Egypt and other countries is a transparent lie that follows
the Obama Administration’s attempt to divert attention away from
the fact that the “Arab Spring” promoted by Obama has been
a complete failure for U.S. interests. Media bias is to be expected, especially
during a foreign policy debacle that threatens Obama’s perceived
expertise in foreign policy.
Our
media understand that, in the same way that Jimmy Carter lost Iran and
America was humiliated during the Iranian hostage crisis, there is a danger
that Obama will be perceived to have lost Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood,
as violent demonstrations continue in the Middle East and other Arab/Muslim
areas of the world. Hence, attention is being directed to a film that
has been on the Internet since July. It is a diversion intended to save
Obama’s presidency.
What
is particularly interesting is how Senator John McCain is now disputing
the claim that the attack in Libya which killed four Americans was spontaneous.
McCain endorsed Obama’s policy of military intervention in Libya,
without the consent of Congress, but now seems to be backing away from
it, at least in terms of what happened in Libya on 9/11. He said, in the
wake of the murders of the Americans, that “most people don’t
bring rocket propelled grenades and heavy weapons to a demonstration,”
and that it was a preplanned terrorist attack. It was another good McCain
sound bite but begs the question of what these terrorists are doing in
Libya in the first place, and why McCain backed Obama’s policy of
military intervention there.
