Here is a charming example of the incoherent, contradictory jibber-jabber which the advanced techniques of American brainwashing have conditioned so many Americans to take as sensible political comment.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Senate committee testimony on Benghazi (text)[/b]

But let me underscore the importance of the United States continuing to lead in the Middle East, in North Africa, and around the world. We’ve come a long way in the past four years, and we cannot afford to retreat now. When America is absent, especially from unstable environments, there are consequences.
Yeah, people in other countries might have a chance to run their own affairs and work for their own interests, rather than for the cliques who run the US government.

That’s why I sent Chris Stevens to Benghazi in the first place. Nobody knew the dangers better than Chris, first during the revolution, then during the transition. A weak Libyan Government, marauding militias, terrorist groups; a bomb exploded in the parking lot of his hotel....
All due to the US meddling in Libya in the first place, and causing ripples of instability spreading out into the rest of north-west Africa.

Extremism takes root; [b]our interests suffer; our security at home is threatened.

Whose interests? The interests of the oil companies, gold mining and uranium mining concessions in Algeria, Mali and Niger ? Certainly not the interests of the Touareg inhabitants of the region !

...the United States is the most extraordinary force for peace and progress the world has ever known.

You know that America’s values and vital national security interests are at stake.
I will let that absurd and idiotic statement stand by itself.
