Libya rejects American-style Democracy?

The US ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a consulate building in Benghazi, stormed by al Qaeda-linked gunmen. The attack was said to be response to an offensive video posted on Youtube by an American filmmaker that ridiculed Islam's prophet Mohammad. US top officials have already expressed their condemnation to what happened by the question remains where Libya is heading to since being imposed Western-style democracy? To answer this question RT's Kristine Frazao is joined by Walid Phares adviser to anti-terrorism caucus of the US Congress and author of the book "The Coming Revolution: Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East"

The US ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a consulate building in Benghazi, stormed by al Qaeda-linked gunmen.

Tom, I hope this is RT’s claim, and not yours.  RT is very gullible, and frequently echoes NATO disinformation.

In the video above, Walid Phares claims that “Islamists” attacked the US consulate in Benghazi.

This is to be expected. Phares is a textbook example of a media shill. A Christian Lebanese, he favors the pro-imperialist March 14 Alliance, and his nonsense is often reprinted by right-wing propaganda mills, plus militant Jewish outlets such as “Front Page.”

“Front Page” claims that “Salafists” did it. Yes, the same Salafists that worked as NATO mercenaries against Gaddafi, and now against Assad. 

“Front Page” also says the US military should start bombing Libya again. It whines that the FBI will conduct the “investigation” into the consulate attack.

A Jewess named Caroline Glick claims that al-Qaeda did it. Yes, the same Al-Qaeda that the USA admits is conducting a civil war against the Syrian people, in service to the USA. To claim that al-Qaeda suddenly turned against their employers in Libya defies all logic, especially since pro-US Libyans helped US personnel to safety and to hospitals after the consulate attack.  However we can rationalize our illogic by saying, ""We don't know the full picture. Therefore al-Qaeda did it."  

Tom Sullivan suggests that ambassador Christopher Stevens “knew too much, and this whole event is another tactical ‘Swiss knife’ designed to shut him up, further demonize Islam, and draw attention away from whatever is happening in Syria.”

Wow. Stevens had been pro-imperialist all the way. If he was eliminated because he “knew to much,” then Clinton, Obama, and the rest would also have to be eliminated.   

As for the obvious truth, it doesn’t matter, since Gaddafi loyalists don’t exist. Right?

Folks, please stop believing everything the corporate media says.

Yes, of course it is RT's claim. I believe no such thing!
