Embassy attacks: Leap to conclusions when they benefit, leap from them when they don’t

By Chris Carter

Nadal Malik Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greatest) and massacred soldiers and support staff preparing for deployment at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, President Barack Obama said, “We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”

In a matter of days, Americans would learn that Hasan's adherence to the jihadist ideology clearly motivated his attack. But even though Hasan's business card read “soldier of Allah” and he left a trail of openly jihadist evidence throughout his Army career, to this day the Obama administration refuses to identify radical Islam as a possible motivation.

Hasan’s massacre is classified as “workplace violence.”

Fast-forward to September 11, 2012, when a group of heavily-armed Islamists stormed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing four: U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, State Dept. Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and two U.S. Marines whose names were withheld pending notification of family.

U.S. muddles message on First Amendment in aftermath of embassy attacks 

Updated on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 10:18AM by Registered CommenterKay B. Day, Editor

Map of Egypt from CIA World Fact BookIn the aftermath of attacks on U.S. embassies in Iraq and Egypt, statements came from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama. Both condemned the attacks. Both affirmed U.S. tolerance of religion—that was the primary message.

The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement, asserting, “We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”

A major opportunity is being missed.

As governments have been toppled with help from Western governments including the U.S., people in Libya are celebrating and Tunisians have just elected new leadership dominated by Al-Nahda.

Al-Nahda describes its ideology as “moderate Islamist.”

Do G-8 and Obama goals misread ‘Arab Spring’?

The Middle East has come unglued, and obviously, G-8 leaders are hoping for the best. Assorted media reports indicate leaders of the G-8 countries are embracing a policy based on wishful thinking and chance. Debt forgiveness, foreign aid and Israel’s borders were topics for discussion in France, and the upshot is that the leaders’ plans could most definitely go awry.

Michael Scheuer had a few things to say about the revolution in Egypt, and the former chief of the CIA’s bin Laden unit didn’t couch his observations in political speak. Scheuer, the author of the new bio Osama bin Laden, said bin Laden was “doing the Happy Dance” over Egypt even as big media in the U.S. celebrated the change in government.
