162. I missed most Pro and Con arguments on Arab Spring issues

So I'm not up to speed on that.

There's a lot of progressive site 'chatter' about the origins of the 'movie', now. CA Film Commission has no permit record, there's no IMBD page for the film, con-man felon behind it, maybe the whole movie was screened once, but there's no record. Buzzflash, TPM, Max B., Al Jazeera, Lucas Kavner at Huff Post, all putting info out about the slap-dash nature of the film that 'caused' the attacks. AP says that they traced it to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who covered up the 'Basseley' part of his CA driver's license with his thumb, when he showed it to AP to prove his identity. The fact that it's easy to get lost in the sea of red herrings, on the cause part, shows that it's a typical half-baked repug foreign policy op.

We may never get actual members of the team who hit the embassy, because life can be cheap in that part of the world, so the 'authorities' there could round up some poor slobs to stand in for the actual perps. If that government does get some of the perps, we'll see the same kind of info on them as we see on the 'cause' part. They were paramilitary pros, not fundy fanatic amateurs.

Thanks for the Harper info. Figures. Romney repugs, Likud, Harper are like a rugby team, pushing the ball toward the goal of 'eliminate Obama and attack Iran'. Only a repug like Romney could get away with visiting Israel to tell Netanyahu to 'hit Iran, and the US will stand with him'. Since nobody voted for him and he's on the ground 'making US foreign policy', that fits the definition of treason, but he gets to walk it back as a 'misstatement'. R. Maddow pointed out 17 out of 24 of his foreign policy advisors are recycled l'il bush neocons. Mr. Eichenwald's recent reporting shows us the sterling national security and foreign policy record of those swine.

Thanks also for the positive review you gave me in the BTW.
