I believe Hitler burned down the Reichstag and as Chancellor blamed it on the Communists...He declared an emergency, suspended civil liberties and arrested all his enemies, thus entrenching his Nazi party as dominant. I think that is called a "false flag" operation..... not an uncommon occurance in history. That is why it is so important to understand history.... to prevent it from being repeated.

A Bright and Shining Libyan Lie

Almost everything we have been told about Libya over the last two years is untrue.

A free Libya was supposed to be proof of President Obama's enlightened reset Middle East policy. When insurgency broke out there, the United States joined France and Great Britain in bombing Muammar Gadhafi out of power -- and supposedly empowering a democratic Arab Spring. Not a single American life was lost.

Libyans, like most in the Arab World, were supposed to appreciate the new enlightened American foreign policy. Obama's June 2009 Cairo speech had praised Islam and apologized for the West. A new "lead from behind"...
