It was just one short year ago that we heard our stellar Secretary of State say, "All of us are inspired by what is happening in Libya," as she hailed the revolution taking place in that country, praising the Libyan people for "taking back their country." Today, on the day after the 9-11 attacks in Egypt and Libya in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed, a rather haggard looking Clinton said she’s asking herself how it could happen: “How can this happen in a country we help liberate, in a city (Benghazi) we helped save from destruction?” Really? Clinton went on to say that that question “reflects just how complicated, and at times, how confounding the world can be.” And it makes all the more clear how it is that we simply can no longer afford a foreign policy that has been cobbled together by the likes of Hitlery and Barry.
Speaking at the State Department, Clinton said, “This was an attack by a small and savage group. Not the people or government of Libya.” She also praised the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, to whom she delivered the oath of office earlier this year: “Everywhere that Chris and his team went in Libya -- in a country scarred by war and tyranny, they were hailed as friends and partners. And when the attack came yesterday, Libyans stood and fought to defend our post. Some were wounded. Libyans carried Chris’ body to the hospital and they helped rescue and lead other Americans to safety.” In a written statement on Wednesday, Clinton noted that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens "was one of the first Americans on the ground in Benghazi." She said he "risked his life" to help the Libyan people build a better future.
Sounding exactly like the naïve, inept liberal that she is, she said, "The friendship between our countries, borne out of shared struggle, will not be another casualty of this attack," Clinton said at the State Department Wednesday. "A free and stable Libya is still in America’s interest and security, and we will not turn our back on that, nor will we rest until those responsible for these attacks are found and brought to justice. We are working closely with the Libyan authorities to move swiftly and surely." I think the key word here is, 'stable'. Today there is very little that's actually stable in the entire region, and you can trace the reason for that right back to both Barry and our idiotic State Department with an incompetent Clinton at the helm. What we have seen since day one of Barry's administration is a 'Keystone Cops" approach to our foreign policy.
In an Oct. 23, 2011 statement marking the "liberation" of Libya, Clinton called the U.S.-assisted revolution "the work of ordinary, brave Libyans who demanded their freedoms and dignity. The United States is proud to have supported them in those efforts, and we are committed to their future." Like everything else with this administration, no one's paying attention, everything is expected to run pretty much on autopilot. Far too many people are too caught up in their respective titles to bother with the actual responsibilities that go along with those very impressive titles. These clowns who we have running things today are simply too busy patting themselves on the back for nothing. And when the shit hits the fan they somehow seem shocked and immediately start looking for excuses as to why they shouldn't be blamed when atrocities such as this happen.
