I have been carefully watching the
actions of our current CIC, State Department, and SecState, as they
are being confronted by one of the biggest foreign policy crisis
since WWII. In particular, I note the rather unusual behavior of the
CIC:
- he skipped the daily intelligence briefing the morning after the assassination of Ambassador Stevens, but was certainly present for the highly visible photo-op when the flag-draped coffin of same was returned home
- he has yet to utter any of these words: Muslim, Islam, Koran, Jihad, global caliphate, sharia law, terrorist, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood
- he has deliberately opened a very wide, very visible, and unheard of rift with one of our strongest allies: Israel, who could be the key to extinguishing anti-American brush fires spreading in North Africa and the Middle East
- he has yet to close his hand of friendship and clench it into a fist
- he is acting like one who is genuinely flummoxed
In particular, I am happy to note that
the last bullet point is congruent with what John Bolton has recently
stated.
Question
Are the above actions those of one who
is constructed of 'presidential timber'?
