Help me out here. I want to make sure I understand this.
Arming "the allies of al Qaeda" was a job originally assigned to Ambassador Stevens. Apparently he screwed up and was taken down like Vince Foster.
So now the job is being done by the US Senate.
Is that about right??
What guarantee do we have that the Senate will be more competent than Stevens?
I don’t think Ambassador Stevens was killed by the White House for screwing up. He died because he was playing with fire and got burned. It’s called blowback.
I saw this in Kosovo when the USA armed Islamic rebels and then when these Islamic rebels went on a pogrom on the remaining Christians and non Albanian populations in Kosovo the US officials on the ground pretended that it was not happening - literally the Muslim could be killing the Christian in front of the American military base and the Clinton State Dept spokesman would say “nope, you are mistaken or that the Christian in question had it coming” because of Milosevic.
In fact, some of the 9/11 hijackers were former Bosnian Muslim jihadists and this fact was kept hidden by the State Dept (and news outlets helped) so the narrative of the USA helping Bosnian Muslims as the good guys would not be sullied and the policy would not be questioned by the American sheeple.
I feel, Stevens died, because of blowback. Libya’s Islamist won and they looked at this fool of an American who was like a liberal idiot thinking he had gone native and had “street cred” because he ate Arab food or some such and they asked themselves “why do we need that fool anymore? Let’s kill him!” And that’s what they did and the State Dept, staffed by people who during the Clinton era supported the same sort of thing in Kosovo were caught flat footed by their own stupidity and tried to cover up the fact they helped Islamist and these Islamists now turned on them and their war on al-Qaeda was not really gaining results now that we helped them overthrow secular regimes (Libya was run by a nut but he was mostly a secular nut who wanted to hand off his country to his western/British educated secular sons).
