    The whole thing in the Middle East now is a lie. The Arab Spring that Obama so gladly gave his support to wasn’t a grass roots uprising of freedom loving people. It was, I submit to you, a carefully executed operation carried off by Iranian Intelligence. With Libya, Egypt, and Syria put into disarray Iranian power and influence have grown. If a murder has been committed you look for motive and so there it is. And I would go a step further and say the Russians also had a hand in this.
