Riots and violence break out across Middle East, White House blames 14 minute YouTube video
9/17/12
As you probably know by now, there have been multiple attacks on U.S. embassies, along with an increase in anti-American protests and anti-American violence throughout the Middle East. Despite the overwhelming evidence that points otherwise, such as these attacks beginning on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, the White House is pushing the narrative that this is all about one movie. Here is what they had to say:
“We need to understand this is a fairly volatile situation and it’s not in response to United States policy, not to obviously the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video. A film. We have judged to be reprehensible that in no way that has any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States at large or U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive.”
This morning on radio, Glenn, who predicted riots spreading across the Middle East over a year ago, made note of the ridiculousness of this concept coming from this administration. The idea that a “film” would spark riots and violence, which included the killing of a U.S. Ambassador, as opposed to our policies or the announcement of budget cuts coming that include embassy protection.
Pat pointed out that the “film” is actually a 14 minutes YouTube video.

This administration is using a video as an excuse, a scapegoat, and a shield against their own bad policies.
“Tens of people saw the video. Tens of people saw the video,” Glenn noted. “Thank goodness the government has gone in after the maker of this horrible YouTube video.”
