Benghazi 911: "see no Islam, see no jihad, see no Sharia"

Yesterday, I wrote
about the strange disconnect exposed in the Benghazi hearings. There we
were in Libya aiding and abetting the very jihadists who would
slaughter our people and burn our consulate. That is the takeaway from
all this. Obama's jihad experiment is a catastrophe -- it needs to be
said. Loudly.
When Hicks describes the second phase of the jihadist attack on the US consulate, a trap to lure him and his team to their deaths, he describes how they were receiving phone calls from supposed tipsters saying that they knew where the ambassador was and urging Americans to come get him. "We suspected that we were being baited into a trap," Hicks said, adding that he did not want to send anybody into what he suspected was an "ambush." When Hicks describes these phone calls, you get the impression that he knew the caller, that he was comfortable with the caller.
We are supporting jihadist regimes and Islamic supremacist movements in Africa and the Middle East. It is a suicidal policy that will lead to unimaginable horror.

Libya: “The Best of Bad Plans” ? Dr. Andrew Bostom, May 9, 2013
In reality, the entire US-led NATO Libyan fiasco was the worst of see no Islam, see no jihad, see no Sharia bad plans as discussed at length in a presentation here. (See also John Rosenthal’s superb monograph on the subject, and Diana West’s recent intervew of Rosenthal)
Kudos to Texas Rep. Farenthold who pierced the Ambassador Rice talking points epiphenomenon during today’s Benghazi hearings, and grabbed hold, if ever so briefly and superficially, of one of the myriad examples of how our catastrophic policy in Libya empowered North African jihadism.
This loony, self-destructive policy was epitomized in the choice of the “February 17th Martyrs Brigade”—named after the jihadist rioters killed by then US-supported Libyan (anti-jihadist) strongman Qaddafi while they were sacking the Italian embassy in Benghazi, because Italian minister (of Constitutional reforms) Roberto Calderoli wore the satirical Muhammad cartoon image (from Le Soir’s front page, published February 1, 2006, just below, which simply said,“Don’t rale [rage] Muhammad…We’ve all been caricatures here”), on a tee shirt (also below) he exposed on Italian state television.
At 3 minutes of this clip, Rep. Farenthold asks about the “February 17th militia,” i.e., the February 17th Martyr’s Brigade. At the 4:10 mark Rep Farenthold queries, “I am going to ask you both this question…I am stunned that the state dept. was relying on a militia with extremist ties to protect American Diplomats….that doesn’t make any sense. How does that happen?” Eric Nordstrom replies, “You mean like in Afghanistan where Afghanis that are working with our Military that are embedded & turn on them and shoot them…or uh Yemen where our Embassy was attacked in 2008 by attackers wearing police uniforms.”
Listen till the end (of this 5-minute segment), when a perplexed and dismayed Rep. Farenthold rather generously characterizes the choice of the “February 17th Martyrs Brigade” as the security force for the US compound in Benghazi, as “The Best of Bad Plans”….
