Like many perceptive others this author considers the assassination of the US ambassador in Libya as a blowback incident. Even more important is that he uses prime US ruling class sources to reveal that ruling class operatives are consciously using Al Qaeda factions for their own purposes. After using Al Qaeda as a key component of its widely ballyhooed "war on terror" propaganda campaigns, their current hypocritical use of Al Qaeda recalls a statement attributed to President Roosevelt in 1939:
Though the Somozas were generally regarded as ruthless dictators, the United States continued to support them as a non-communist stronghold in Nicaragua. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) supposedly remarked in 1939 that "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch."When it comes to foreign policy, this principle expressed so elegantly by Roosevelt has continued to be used by foreign policy operatives of the Empire in pursuit of their mad quest to gain control over resources and markets throughout the world. This is the fundamental principle that guides all capitalist political policies and actions.
