But the MB are the good guys according to this Admin. They only want freedom.
Yea...they want the freedom to whatever they want to others without any repercussions.
Blowback works both ways.
In his first interview since the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi last month, Egypt’s commanding general sharply criticized the U.S. response, accusing the Obama administration of disregarding the Egyptian popular will and of providing insufficient support amid threats of a civil war.
‘‘You left the Egyptians. You turned your back on the Egyptians, and they won’t forget that,’’ said an indignant Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, speaking of the U.S. government. ‘‘Now you want to continue turning your backs on Egyptians?’’

I was wondering the same thing myself this morning, with all this new information being released on Benghazi and whatnot, I have to wonder if it is ploy to justify their actions.
The CIA accused of gun-running to Al Qaeda, yet there are claiming it is an Al Qaeda terrorist threat for shutting down embassies.
Or the guns just fell into the wrong hands.
And now I hear intelligence agencies are upset that this administration leaked to much information, I recall a member suggesting this was going to happen.

Don't know what to tell ya jimmy.
Supporters of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan have been getting U.S. military contracts, and American officials are citing “due process rights” as a reason not to cancel the agreements, according to an independent agency monitoring spending. “I am deeply troubled that the U.S. military can pursue, attack, and even kill terrorists and their supporters, but that some in the U.S. government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government contract,” Sopko said.
The 236-page report and Sopko’s summary provide one of the watchdog agency’s most critical appraisals of U.S. performance in helping to build a stable Afghanistan as the Pentagon prepares to withdraw combat troops by the end of next year. The U.S. has 60,000 troops in Afghanistan, with plans to reduce the number to 34,000 by February. President Barack Obama hasn’t decided how many to keep in the country after 2014 to train Afghan forces and engage in anti-terrorist missions. “Anti-terrorist missions.” Like what, rewarding them lucrative contracts? An audit showed that after 16 months, none of the agency’s essential program objectives have been reached and the money spent has mostly financed workshops and training sessions.
The project is aimed at bolstering Afghanistan’s government before troop withdrawals planned for next year. “It’s troubling that after 16 months, this program has not issued its first community grant,” Sopko said.“Rather, it has spent almost $50 million, about a quarter of the total program budget, on conferences, overhead and workshops.”Regarding the 43 cases of contractors with militant connections, Sopko said the Army should “enforce the rule of common sense” in its suspension and debarment program. “They may be enemies of the United States but that is not enough to keep them from getting government contracts,” according to the agency’s report. Someone’s definitely lining their pockets... and it’s not just the “terrorists.”

Let's assume for a minute that a terrorist attack does occur.. It seems impossible for a % of ATS folks to believe that their are bad , violent or evil people that exist outside
