Speaking today on ABC’s “The View,” President Obama insisted that he had “no doubt” that the attack on the Benghazi consulate earlier this month “wasn’t just a mob action” but was a sign of extremism.
Obama went on to say that he found it “interesting, just this past week, there were these massive protests against these extremist militias that are suspected, maybe, of having been involved.”
Tens of thousands did rally in Benghazi on Friday, attacking several bases of different militias, including several that were never even named as suspects, and making off with large amounts of weaponry.
The Obama Administration has had a hard time getting their story straight on Benghazi, initially terming it a “spontaneous” result of a protest gone wrong and later declaring it a “terrorist attack.” Officials say they have no proof for either, so they seem to just be guessing at this point.
The US government certainly is clueless as to what it is doing in the ME. Other actors, however, appear to have top grade intelligence, timing a raid with a mass demonstration triggered by a video aimed are stirring discontent between Muslims and Copts, as well as being prepared to loot sophisitcated military weapons. Fishy, very fishy. We know who the fish is but who is the angler?
Thje Lybia attack was mob action, the NATO mob
And the story seems to get even more comlicated. What was innitially hailed as "peacefull" protest against the bad guys, the militias, turns out to be an armed raid on several militia compounds. While the islamic compounds surrendered, and voluntarily left, militia that actually worked for the Ministry of Defense opened fire. They were overrun by the more numerous, armed attackers. And reportedly some of these government militas were executed by the "protestors'. Naturally, whoever they are, they collected an impressive loot of weapons that night. Who are they? All the attacked groups were there openly working with or for the government. Otherwise, they would not have compounds in the city. When outnumbered, some decided to pack up and go, leaving their weaponry, others started a shootout, and were overrun with significant casualties.
Whoever they are, they are clearly antigoverment forces.
They blow eighty thousand millions of dollars per year for 'intelligence', but I think Mr. Ditz is right. They are still just guessing. Priceless! I guess the agencies need twice as big budgets so they can do twice as good a job.
If the incident at the Libya embassy was extremism, what would Obama call his endless terror drone campaigns, huh?
