No kidding: although Gaddafi knew that well and his forces had them penned in Benghazi and their position looked hopeless….just then, NATO came riding over the horizon, talked them up as oppressed rebels, fed them weapons, money and encouragement, and furnished them with the best air force western taxpayers could buy. And now, now…counterterrorism experts both inside and outside the U.S. government have discovered that Benghazi “has become” a crucial wellspring for al-Qaida that rivals even its historic breeding ground — Saudi Arabia.
You don’t say.
Isn’t it possible it was that way for years, and Gaddafi was attempting to do something about it? You’d never know it from this mind-boggling narrative: “Libya, like many other countries, has areas with a history of extremism that the government is trying to counter,” a U.S. counterterrorism official told NBC News on condition of anonymity, referring to the Benghazi region. Well, the government was trying to counter that extremism, until NATO leaped to its defense and empowered it, and now it is the government.
So, just when you thought there were no more surprises left, now “this corridor will become a priority for U.S. counterterrorism,..it will join Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.”
Stay tuned, as major western nations lobby to have shooting yourself in the foot considered as an Olympic sport.
Reminds me how those neocon geniuses by their criminal invasion of Iraq turned the country into an Iranian satellite and massively boosted Tehran’s influence in the region.
When it comes to Imperial policy in the Middle East one can either laugh or cry.
Well guess what American analysts have discovered that Benghazi is a recruiting hotspot for al Qaeda!!!
