BEYOND AQs WILDEST DREAMS.
AQ planners could have never imagined the second and third
order effects of their attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, and if you are
one of the few who still doesn't believe it was a AQ event, then you need to
stick your head back in the sand.
Perception, as I have always said, is reality 90 percent of
time, especially in a world ruled by instantaneous media and social
communications.
Does anyone think for a minute the AQ planners realized the
disruption that would take place between the two political parties in the US based
upon the attack in Libya ,
an act that would lead to the accusations of "cover-up" by the head of the CIA?
For AQ to realize the Benghazi
event is now somehow tied to the fall of two Senior US Military Commanders is
nothing shy of a blessing from Allah!
As impossible at this might seem, the two stories are so
intertwine, based upon ether fact or party politics in the US , that once
again AQ comes out the real victor.
Again, the issue here is "perception" and for that
reason alone, AQ finds leverage in both stories.
Would two Senior US Military Commanders have fallen without
the event of Benghazi ?
Probably, but it is now much harder to make this embarrassment
for the US
go away.
The US 's
loss is almost always a gain for it's enemies and make no mistake about it,
this is a loss for the US
and a huge victory for the enemy.
So, you see, this is not just about "affairs" and
the lack of trust in US Military Leaders.
It's about the price we all pay when we are divided and
allow poor leaders to stay in positions that represent their nation and people.
