| Clinton and Obama's shock over Libya violence 'naive' |
| 2012-09-12 |
| Clinton and Obama are shocked, shocked I tell ya. How could the radical Muslim fluffy bunnies that they helped to victory, turn out to be such ingrates? US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have condemned the deadly attack on the US consulte in Libya, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy workers. ÂThe two leaders said that America liberated the country so it could form a new democracy. “ItÂ’s especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because itÂ’s a city he helped to save. At the height of the Libyan revolution, Chris led our diplomatic post in BenghaziÂ…he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya,” Obama said in a statement. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also firmly denounced the attack: “How could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction?” But some believe the US shouldnÂ’t be so surprised by the violence. ItÂ’s naive to for the US to believe it can have normal diplomatic relations in Libya, which is unstable because of the 2011 NATO-led intervention, Patrick Henningsen, geopolitical analyst for current affairs website UK Column Patrick said in an interview with RT. Libya is divided because of NATO. The chaos of the intervention has given rise to warlords, militias, and raided weapon stocks that were formerly secured by the Gaddafi government, he said. Henningsen argues that the violent assault on the US consulate is simply blowback against Washington and LondonÂ’s aggressive foreign policy. |
