<\/a>Many of us tried to warn Barack Obama that using militants from al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations to overthrow governments in the Middle East would not end well.\u00a0 The Obama administration has been so determined to get rid of some of these dictators in the Middle East that they have not even really stopped to think about who would be replacing them.\u00a0 Our leaders assured us that those opposed to Mubarak and Gaddafi were “freedom fighters” that just wanted “liberty” and “democracy” in those countries.\u00a0 Well, of course it turns out that the folks that took control of both Egypt and Libya bear no resemblance to George Washington whatsoever.\u00a0 They have simply replaced one form of tyranny with an even worse form of tyranny.\u00a0 Sadly, the last couple of days have been a huge wake up call for all of us.\u00a0 Radical Islamic militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt and replaced the American flag with the al-Qaeda flag.\u00a0 In Benghazi, Libya the U.S. consulate was attacked by a crowd equipped with guns, homemade bombs and rocket-propelled grenades.\u00a0 They torched the consulate, looted it, and killed the U.S. ambassador and three other U.S. officials.\u00a0 Apparently they are not as grateful for our help in “liberating” their homelands as the Obama administration thought they would be.\u00a0 Unfortunately, our politicians fundamentally misunderstand what is going on in the Middle East, and this is going to continue to lead to more policy errors. <\/span><\/p>\nFor years, our politicians told us that “al-Qaeda” was the big enemy in the “War on Terror”.<\/span><\/p>\n But then during the “Arab Spring” the U.S. government was openly working with “al-Qaeda” and a bunch of other similar organizations all over the Middle East to overthrow established governments.<\/span><\/p>\n To say that our approach to the Middle East has been “inconsistent” would be a massive understatement.<\/span><\/p>\n After the protesters stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo, they made it very clear who they are aligned with.\u00a0 They tore down the U.S. flag and desecrated it, and they put up a black Islamic flag in its place.<\/span><\/p>\n So what did the black flag have on it?\u00a0 The following is how <\/span><\/strong><\/span>CNN<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/span>described the flag….<\/span><\/p>\n The black flag, which hangs atop a ladder inside the compound, is adorned with white characters that read, “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger,” an emblem often used in al Qaeda propaganda.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
