We knew at the time this was not an embassy, or a consulate, but a CIA operations house. Hitchens went there to try to clear the place out, because it had no (relative)defenses, and he had good rapport with the locals.
What was the CIA was doing there? (heel-click)CIA stuff, Sir. (salute)

Well Joe, I guess you have to keep a sense of humor about some things.

I suppose so, it's true though. Radical Islamists in one country and Radical Islamists in another country don't just equate to the same faction. They are broken into factions, groups, organizations, loose ties, no ties, families some only marginally related, some not related at all. In Syria alone there are hundreds of different groups and factions.
So yea, arm a group of Islamists in Syria and Islamists who don't give a crap about what we are doing in Syria might attack us in Lybia. It's not rocket surgery to see this picture, it IS rocket surgery to try and figure out the link analysis.

Extremists will immediately *know* facts by entertaining their emotions. Or by being told by extremist talk show hosts how to think. Moderates first learn facts. Facts from Benghazi confirm what moderates were saying.

The ridiculously partisan article which was written to help Hillary distance herself from her largest hurdle for the presidency. Her utter lack of leadership and her part in chosing to let them die. Where was Obama that night anyway? The NYT article, so uselessly quoted by the bloviating one, was resoundingly refuted by D's and R's alike on the intel committee. The strawman in his argument is also pathetic.
Moderate .... bwahahahahahahahaaaaaaa..... thanks for the laugh.

Extremists even fear a mythical Al Qaeda. Because Benghazi also exposes an Al Qaeda myth, then it must be wrong. Al Qaeda remains another myth that survives only due to wacko extremism. Same wacko extremism says torture (Nazi Gestapo style) is good. That was also the first thing extremists were told. So it must be true. |
