The Muslim rioting in the Middle East allegedly over the movie "Innocence of Muslims" is nothing more than a smoke screen by radical al-Qaida leaders in revenge for the drone killing of a senior al-Qaida leader a few months ago and to coincide with 9/11.
Intelligence sources warned the U.S. that an attack was imminent. The weapons used in the attack on the Libyan consulate that took the life of an ambassador and three others, as well as the attack on the Benghazi consulate, were sophisticated.
The attackers were obviously well trained and skilled in military tactics. It was not a spontaneous protest, and anyone who believes otherwise is naive.
The turmoil in the Middle East is far from over. The Muslims must know the Israelis are building up militarily and guards the harbors along Israeli's coast.
It is no secret the Israelis will attack Iran, with or without America's help.
Israel is watching al-Qaida's actions with much interest.
It's too bad America didn't take to heart the intelligence given it on the impending uprisings and get our ambassador out of Libya before he and the three others lost their lives.
