Jay Carney on Unrest in Middle East

What a complete and utter tool this spastic is.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday insisted that the protests in the Middle East are not “directed at the United States” but are instead the direct result of an anti-Muslim YouTube clip.

“This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to United States policy, obviously not to the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video, a film, that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting — that in no way justifies any violent reaction to it.”

Carney went on to repeat this point at least two more times during his daily press briefing with reporters.
“But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy, but it is in response to video that is offensive to Muslims,” said Carney.

Germany and Britain have also been targeted but the USA is first choice and the ripe fruit.
The western world has been culpable in bringing about the "Arab Spring" by enabling radical Islam, who as a result are laughing at them. There may have to be a heavy frost.
Some cultural/religious groups need virtual dictators to keep them from boiling over, regardless of what the feel good PC crowd thinks.

I don't think I'd want to attribute the necessary death of fundamental islamic extremism to Christianity, as the article seems to suggest, or any one religion. It should be seen, rather, as an honor-killing done by humanity for humanity's sake. The sooner we get it over with, the sooner 5 generations later can forget about it.

The Marine Security forces on Embassy Duty have been reduced in number. Depending on the size of the installation it could be be as many as 240 like in Tehran to as small as 30 in Latvia. But the reductions affect those assignments too. But this Press Secretary has to say something doesn't he. If it doesn't make any sense. You are only told what they want you to hear.

What's really going on here? First of all we have a bunch of Thugs who last self control.
Yes thugs. Someone is critical of their religion and they demonstrate in the street and
destroy property and kill people. No offence but we're angry because someone had a
different opinion about our religion.
These same people want to tear down the statues of theirs and ours once they get control.
These same intolerant bastar*s are the ones who call you and I infidels because we are not
Muslims.
These same people use every paragraph in nations constitutions to enforce their beliefs on us
and attempt to force their belief system on us. The are critical of our lifestyles and they would
like nothing better to control the rights of women there here or anywhere else.

The problem is they have no regard for democracy, they have no respect for anyone or anything
and they. Worse they are totally intolerant. The worst part of all this is we allow people to come
and spread their intolerance here in various ways.
Mind you we have other intolerant groups here as well and they all band together to spread their
less than stellar plans.
The anti abortion folks totally intolerant. The gay pride and pro choice movements who call everyone
intolerant, the Born Again Christian Movements, the Militia's that parade around like little lord
fauntleroy. The Muslims, The anti smoking police, the Condo Nazi's
All of these groups have become a pain in the *ss and quite frankly most people have had enough
of them.

Many Americans believe they are innocent bystanders in the Muslim world, or involved there on an altruistic “mission” to uplift the benighted natives, to selflessly shoulder the heavy burden of policing the unruly globe, or abroad to wage an unending struggle against the dark forces of what we call “terrorism.”

What they do not at all understand is that the American imperium’s goal is to advance its own strategic, economic and political goals and keep much of the planet under its influence.

In the last century, such ambitions and behavior used to be called “imperialism,” a practice that became synonymous with the British Empire. At its apogee, the Britain Empire ruled one quarter of the globe and most of the world’s seas and oceans. At the heart of this vast empire lay its “jewel,” India. Britain’s rule over India was known as the British Raj (raj meaning rule in Hindi).

The more I examined the historical parallels between the British Empire and today’s American dominion over most of the Arab and greater Muslim world, the more it became evident that the United States had inherited the British Empire in 1945 and was copying its highly successful managerial techniques.

Chief among these was divide and rule, using petty princes and potentates as surrogates, building armies of native troops known as “sepoys,” forcing the subcontinent into economic subservience and captive markets.

Britain’s genius lay in managing a huge empire with tiny numbers of its own soldiers and officials. That’s why I entitled my book, “American Raj.” In it, I examined the way Washington controlled most of the Arab world’s regimes, how it promoted dictatorship and its handmaiden, corruption, and how the US used native armies to maintain its control.

I warned that the Mideast was seething with anti-Americanism, fury over the plight of Palestinians, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and rage against the corrupt, brutal rulers imposed by the United States, Britain and France. In “Raj,” I urged the United States to practice the values it preaches and help build real democracy in the Arab world before it was too late. The first and major step, I asserted, was imposed a just settlement for Palestine – which I termed “sand in the eye of the Muslim world.”

Absolute drivel!!

The British practice was to colonize a country by installing a governor at the top, and basically allowing the society to operate as it had before. With, of course, the addition of British policy in areas of interest.

While you are at it, you might look at the freest countries on earth. An unusual number of them were once British colonies.........

India, lived very well, before the British, after the British conquest they starved in the millions and dressed in rags. British policy was simply maximum brutal exploitation and the interest as always, absolute power. There never did exist any empire worthy of adulation and there never will be.
