32. Actually he gave credit to the hero who was the spark in Tunisia that lit the fire

that started the Arab Spring. You must have missed it. Tunisians themselves have credited Wikileaks publication of leaks re the Dictatorship, with adding to the spark. So iow, he told the truth. Why is there so much horror on DU lately at anyone who speaks the truth?

And no, the Obama administration did not initially support the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions. Biden eg, stated that Mubarak was a 'good friend and ally' of the US bemoaning the protests. Which was true. So was Ben Ali.

The administration and the MSM waited until it became clear that this was serious and could not be quashed, before finally coming around to supporting them.

I remember, as I was writing about it on DU from the beginning and wondering when the US MSM would realize what a big story was happening which they were not covering. And waiting for a statement from the US. It took a while.
