In Radical Eyes, Libya Makes Obama an Imperialist Enemy
Posted on: September 24th, 2012
InDepth → Analysis → Rubin ReportsThe United States is only at the start of a nasty conflict in Libya which is going to be very anti-American. It is shocking that there is so little recognition of that fact and an apparently sincere belief that all the problems there are due to a You-Tube video.
