13 Americans Dead…The Suspect? President Obama

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Floyd G. Brown * The Western Center for Journalism

Washington, D.C. is a town run largely by lawyers. Naturally, this leads to a ton of convoluted and unnecessary legislation. And this overabundance of legality often leads to twisted logic in our nation’s capital – and confusion for us.

Take the two hotly debated (and often misused) words: “coup” and “terrorism.”

You see, when the Egyptian military recently ousted President Mursi, most of the world called that a coup. But for reasons you’ll see in a moment, the Obama administration doesn’t see it that way.

Then there’s Major Nidal Hasan’s attack on Fort Hood, Texas on November 5, 2009 – which left 13 people dead and 30 injured. You’d probably file that one under an act of terror. But according to Obama, you’d be wrong.

Time to shed some light on this classic Washington head fake. Technically Speaking…

“Coup d’état” is a French word that made its way into the English language.  The Oxford Dictionary identifies it as a French expression, meaning a “stroke of state.”

Military historian Edward Luttwak says that “[a] coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder.”

So, when the Egyptian military grabbed power and imprisoned President Mohamed Mursi, headlines across the world (correctly) screamed “Coup in Egypt.”

Yet in the Obama administration, twisted words reign, and take on surreal meanings. And in this case, they’re simply insisting that the situation in Egypt isn’t actually a coup.

Why?
