Pro-Kremlin Russia News blames USA for Charlie Hebdon attack; Limbaugh blames Obama

Pro-Kremlin news site Lifenews.ru:
Russian website Lifenews.ru ran an interview with a political analyst named Alexei Martynov, who suggested the militants were "the US intelligence services." Claiming the notion that the Muhammad cartoons motivated the attack "looks funny," Martynov said, "I am sure that American 'curators' are behind the events in Paris, behind those Islamists, in one way or another. The US is conveniently wreaking havoc in Europe with the goal of muzzling the common sense voices that are calling to restore cooperation with Russia."


Limbaugh:
Rush Limbaugh claimed that Obama's proclamation in his 2012 United Nations speech following the Benghazi attacks—"the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam"—emboldened the Paris attackers. "You have the president of the United States rationalizing barbaric behavior," Limbaugh said. "These actions have consequences."
