hilary clinton has made much of the efforts on the part of some libyans to protect the u.s. embassy, attacked on september 11, 2012. 4 americans, including the united states ambassador to libya, were killed in that attack, and the embassy burned and gutted.
similar attacks have occurred in other mid-eastern nations.
oddly enough, though the u.s. media has focused on an obscure film produced in the u.s. as "inflaming" arab passions, other parts of the world predominately muslim have not seen fit to take excessive umbrage over this film. and, it should be noted that this film was released months ago, without little notice.
so far, the islamic outrage seems to be limited to arab islamic outrage.
i do not watch much u.s. news coverage, considering most of it propaganda for the democratic party, the locus of most of the leftist idiocy that bedevils the country. the media are obama's apologists, and would use the person who produced/made this 14 minute film as a foil for the attacks, to shield obama's failed diplomatic efforts.
in a related matter, it appears that iraq is allowing overflights of iranian planes taking military supplies to syria, surely a sign of america's decreased influence on what goes on in the fertile crescent.
is that the fault of this film, as well?
there is another matter, and it is revealed by hilary clinton's protest that host nations are not protecting u.s. consular and diplomatic assets, as they are required by international law, and as would be expected of any nation intending to maintain decent relations with the united states.
the simple fact of the matter is, these countries are not interested in maintaining decent relations with the united states. and, the further simple fact is, these countries have done absolutely nothing to protect u.s. diplomatic assets and personnel. they have not devoted police forces to crowd control and criminal investigation, they have expended no police protection to diplomatic personnel, and to the best of my knowledge have not expended a single round of ammunition toward the repelling of crowds and armed attackers.
that is for the civil side of government.
now, let us discuss the military side of government in these countries. i have not seen 1 second of footage of military personnel or equipment being used to repel or contain these armed attacks on u.s. diplomatic interests. not one jeep w/ a machine gun, not one armored personnel carrier, not one tank, not one helicopter flying over to try and protect american lives, property and international legal rights.
nor have i heard one breath from hilary clinton or bark "no bite" obama about this.
the fact is, the foreign nations have done nothing to prevent these things from going on.
now, the next question is, have foreign nations participated in or promoted the acts of others in these attacks.
i don't know. what i would suggest, however, is that we simply ask the israeli's, who have intelligence assessments that might lend some insight to this issue. that is, if the israeli's are still talking to us, given the abject failure of u.s. foreign policy with israel.
something about israel feeling that the u.s. is jeopardizing its very existence. touchy on that, apparently.

p.s. and, on the matter of the duplicity of the american media. the traitorous bastards.--
have you heard one word uttered in the mainstream media about the fact that the "arab spring," that rosy prospect of arab progress and peace, has been co-opted and taken over by the o.i.c. and the muslim brotherhood? one word about that?
we have, on the one hand as an explanation for this violence directed against us, a 14 minute film made out of a warehouse in california, by an egyptian coptic who is also a federal convict on probation/parole. on the other hand, we have the 57 nations of the o.i.c., the shenanigans of the muslim brotherhood in egypt and libya and yemen and elsewhere, the efforts of al queda, and the absolute lack of any protection by the host foreign for u.s. diplomatic assets and personnel while these attacks have taken place.
the u.s. media goes for the 14 minute film.
i call absolute and outrageous bullshit. and, i call the media talking heads who spout this nonsense outrageous & complicitous liars. they ooze bullshit from their pompous pores, and pronounce supreme unction on the death throes of american first amendments rights as some poor "film maker" is grilled in custody by federal authorities.
what utter fucking bullshit this all is.
You would enhance your credibility if you learned English grammar and spelling. It is Hillary Clinton, not Hilary. It is predominantly, not predominately. And you need to learn the difference between plural (Israelis) and possessive (Israeli's).
