They Didn’t Riot Over This Video
After nearly a month of cringing and getting lost in its people’s own contradictions, the Obama administration is finally clinging to an elliptical mention by the president of “acts of terror” that he claims won’t deter us from doing whatever we are supposed to do in the Mideast. What was it we were supposed to be doing over there?
Oh, supporting democracy, of course. But democracy in a country where “freedom-fighters” roar into town shooting their rifles in the air is going to be hard to achieve. All those celebratory bullets have a nasty way of coming down again. And they can hit local voters as they are lining up to cast their ballots.
Consider the ever-so-discreet caption for a photo of one of our purple-fingered frenzied friends. Against a lurid background of the U.S. Consulate in flames in Benghazi, we see a trim young man in jeans and tee-shirt. He’s holding his rifle menacingly. And Reuters labels him a “protester.” Indeed. He was surely protesting something.
It must have been that nasty U.S.-made video that few even here have seen. As if reading from scripted talking points, speakers from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to the podium of the U.N. General Assembly, from the side of Amb. Stevens’s casket to the White House Press Room, have been blaming that “offensive” video for the riots, the torchings, the embassy takeovers, and, finally, for the murder of Amb. Stevens and his three American colleagues.
It was an offensive video. But it’s interesting to consider the video the street protestors didn’t riot over. More than a year ago, the Israeli satirical group Latma produced this video.
The Israelis lampoon the mullahs of Tehran and the flaccid response of this administration to the existential threat of Iran becoming a nuclear power. There were no recorded riots anywhere in what President Obama obligingly calls “the Muslim world” over this Israeli video.

Does anyone really expect this administration to tell us peeons the truth about anything? Hell, thats their M.O. Lie so much that its expected. That way no one is suprised when they f#ck something up. Their hoping even something this big gets swept under the rug.

Israel doesn’t have a dhimmi pussy running the country. And they never will.

“The Israelis don’t quail. They don’t quiver. They don’t quake. And they never cringe.”
