Benghazi Reveals Obama-Islamist Alliance

By James Lewis

American Thinker, November 1, 2012

The nature of the Benghazi disaster is now clear.  Ambassador Stevens was engaged in smuggling sizable quantities of Libyan arms from the destroyed Gaddafi regime to the Syrian rebels, to help overthrow the Assad regime in Syria.  Smuggling arms to the so-called “Free Syrian Army” is itself a huge gamble, but Obama has been a gambler with human lives over the last four years, as shown by the tens of thousands of Arabs who have died in the so-called Arab Spring — which has brought nothing but disaster to the Arab world.

For the last four years, the Obama policy has been to offer aid and comfort violent Islamic radicals in the delusional belief that their loyalty can be bought.  We therefore betrayed Hosni Mubarak, our 30-year ally in Egypt, so that the Muslim Brotherhood led by Muhammed Morsi could take over.  Obama indeed demanded publicly that Mubarak resign, for reasons that never made any sense at all.  Egypt went into a political and economic tailspin, and the Muslim Brotherhood were elected.  The Muslim radicals have now purged the only other viable political force, the army and police, to protect their monopoly on power.  We have colluded in that betrayal.

In Libya, we betrayed Moammar Gaddafi, who had surrendered his nuclear program to the Bush administration.  In Afghanistan, we betrayed the central government set up by the Bush administration and negotiated with the fanatical war sect of the Taliban to take over.  The Taliban entered our history when they gave safe haven to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda in the years before 9/11/01 to plan, train, equip, and implement the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.  The Taliban are our fanatical theological enemy, as shown by their sadistic attempt to assassinate 14-year-old women's rights advocate Malala Yousuf.

Afghanistan has many thousands of Malalas we will never hear about.

Our consistent policy of betrayal of moderate Muslims in favor of radical Islamofascists goes hand-in-hand with our appeasement of the Iranian Khomeinist regime, which is the most America-hating Shiite regime, now facing competition from America-hating Sunni regimes in Egypt and elsewhere.  It also fits our cooperation with Turkey's “neo-Ottoman” regime, which has also purged the Turkish army and police to remove modern-minded Turks from power.  Egypt and Iran will soon have nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles.

We have therefore followed a single “community disorganizing” policy toward the Muslim world, consisting of betraying moderates to bring theocratic fascists to power.  Obama “explained” that policy in a publicized argument with Hillary Clinton at the White House when Mubarak was overthrown.  His explanation?  Fascist revolutions are “organic,” and therefore more stable than moderate revolutions.  Obama's fantasy policy runs contrary to U.S. foreign policy since World War I.

The biggest loser in this mad administration has been hundreds of millions women of the Muslim world, who were on a path to modernity and freedom until Obama and Hillary Clinton betrayed them.  Today they are shut inside the prisons of sharia law.

The second-biggest loser has been relative stability in a great geographical swath of the Muslim world, from Afghanistan and Pakistan across the Middle East, all the way to Tunisia and Morocco.

The third-biggest loser has been our anti-proliferation policy against the spread of weapons of mass destruction among developing nations.  From fighting proliferation, we have turned to aiding it.

Those three Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn and riding free.

Phi Beta Iota:  Ambassadors do not do arms smuggling.  Ambassadors are very rarely CIA officers under cover.  CIA rarely does arms smuggling with intelligence and integrity.  The White House rarely has a good grip on reality as it is understood by the indigenous tribes and authorities.  Claims of Al Qaeda resurgence are nonsense — what is resurgent is the number of people pissed uff at US Government fumbling around in their front yard.  As with many sources, the above offering is one of those 60-40 contributions.  What is clear is that there are many hidden agendas, of the US, the French, the Syrians, the Egyptians, others, that have not been fully disclosed.  Absent full disclosure of what the USA was doing in Benghazi (opening a space museum is beyond belief), it is more difficult to evaluate what and why all other actors were doing whatever.  This certainly does appear to have a very heavy election component, much as the Republicans delayed the release of the hostages in Iran to derail Jimmy Carter; it also has a strong Department of State incompetence aspect, much as the infamous Ambassador Gillespie “not our business” prior to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.  The truth remains to be known.  One place to start would be a chart of all US commanders with any form of responsibility for responding to the attack, and a chart of all US assets (e.g. in Aviano, Italy) and when and what those assets were told in relation to Benghazi.
