Benghazi = Obama's Waterloo?


The current administration, State Dept, media, et al, hailed and supported the so-called 'Arab Spring' as akin to the American Revolution: a breath of fresh air, a genesis of freedom and liberty in portion of the globe that traditionally has none. By now, I hope that everyone realizes that in reality, it is the exact opposite and has now back-fired in Mr. O's face.

Even so, I have watched with curiosity the actions of Mr. O's person:
  • his initial address was oddly brief, cursory, and emotionless, lacking criticism of the Muslim murderers
  • he refused to answer questions; even Romney took questions
  • his only strong statement was to criticize his election opponent and not the Muslim Brotherhood
  • faced with the biggest international crisis since 1979, he has flown to Las Vegas for a fundraiser, rather than hunkering down in the Situation Room with a scowl on his face as other Presidents have done
  • he has refused to allow the State Department to brief the House Foreign Affairs Committee, unheard of in times of crisis such as now


I note these very interesting tidbits so far:
  • even after Benghazi and Cairo, security for other American Embassies were not cranked up, as the Yemen Embassy was equally overrun
  • the Marines guarding the Cairo Embassy were ordered not to carry loaded weapons or defend against intruders
  • the Libyan ambassador was not killed by an outraged, impromptu mob but rather was lured into a trap, ambushed, raped, and assassinated by a sophisticated military operation
  • several top-secret documents relating to informants working with the US are missing from the Consulate and Safehouse in Libya
  • the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to organize a huge, anti-American riot in Cairo tomorrow, hoping that the participants will number in excess of one million
  • the events so far seem to have an al-qaeda connection, and we can expect many more such attacks on our embassies and consulates up to the election in November. Our problems have just begun
  • it is increasingly obvious that no one has seen the so-called offensive, anti-Mohammed video supposedly on YouTube
  • our enemies are very happy and doing the traditional end zone dance
  • Mr. O can longer claim to have kept us safe from Muslim terrorists


It's Deja Vu All Over Again

The current Middle East emergency bears an eerie resemblance to Jimmy Carter, 1979, Iranian Hostage Crisis, and the American Embassy in Tehran. You young 'uns who have no idea what I am talking about owe it to yourself to become informed.

It Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings

Review the information that I have presented. Do you still have confidence in the Commander-In-Chief? You know that you are in trouble when you read a newswire story hoping that the foreign policy crisis will blow over, so that the economy will dominate the election.
