This was written a couple of days after the embassay attacks:
Here is what bothers me the most about this situation, the president and the media.
First our embassy in Cairo issues an apology about noon local time, for a film made by a private citizen exercising his first ammendment right to free speech. Next, about 4 pm local time, that embassy, our sovreign territory, is invaded, our flag is torn down and replaced with the banner of the most hate filled group in the country. The stolen flag was burned. No correction or retraction of the statement was issued and no comment came from the White House about either the statement or the attack.
At 10 pm local time a group of armed psychotics attack our embassy in Benghazi Libya, get into the compound, set fire to it and force evacuation. During the evacuation the ambassador and his security officer are isolated. When a rescue party returns the officer is dead and the ambassador is missing. At 11:20 they are finally able to drive out the attackers and move the survivors into the main building. At midnight the building comes under heavy fire from small arms, and rocket propelled grenades. Two more Americans are killed and at least two more are injured. This attack lasts 2 hours. At 6 am EIGHT HOURS AFTER HE DISSAPPEARED embassy officials are told that the ambassador turned up in a local hospital and was dead on arrival.
Around 10 pm eastern time, 4 am Benghazi time hillary clinton makes the super gutsy move of saying that she personally condemned the attacks but that she also wanted to be sure that everyone knew that she also condemned the attacks on the muslim religion, you know, cause they are equally as bad.
Through all of this, no comment from obama whatsoever. While our ambassador lay dieing alone in the streets of Benghazi hoping to get to a hospital before the end, the great and wonderful hussein lay in a nice comfortable bed in the White House sleeping like a little baby. He had since 6 am eastern time to say anything he wanted about the original Cairo embassy statement. He never made a peep. He thought it was just fine even if it was the pretext for two invasions of American soil and four American deaths.
At midnight eastern time on Wednesday Mitt Romney made the first presidential statement where he ephatically condemned the attacks, the original statement by the embassy in Cairo and obamas entire handling of the situation.
At 10 am eastern Mitt Romney holds a press conference where he reiterates his statment and then takes questions. Several reporters are caught on hot mikes before the conference starts plotting ways to trip Mitt up with questions to make him look bad.
At 4 pm eastern, almost 36 hours after the initial Cario statement and 24 hours after the Benghazi attacks start, obama goes on a pre scheduled interview, which has been shown to mean that all questions are preapproved, to open his mouth for the first time about any of it. He says almost nothing about the attacks and deaths of Americans but takes the time to castigate Mitt Romney for this comments.
And what does the media focus entirely on? Mitt Romney.
These are terrorist attacks and they are just the precursors to much larger attacks. This is exactly like bill clinton's horrific bungling of the war in Somalia, and the attacks on the USS Kohl and the first WTC bombing (the perpetrator of which is now being considered for release to Egypt) and others. clinton's pansy responses to those incidents, coupled with his dismantling of the CIA, foreign service and massive military reductions emboldened terrorists and led directly to 9/11. So where do you think aplogizing to terrorists that have attacked us is going to go?
There are lots of questions to be asked such as, why wasn't security tighter on 9/11 at all of our embassies in the middle east? What happened to the local protection forces that are supposed to be helping us but dissappeared as soon as these attacks started? Why was the embassy allowed to make such an anti American statement? If is was appoved by the White House then what were they thinking? If, as they have since claimed, it was not approved by the White House then why was no retraction or condemnation of the statement made until after Mitt Romney pointed it out?
This is what worries me, how long do you think it will be before the media convince king obama to pass a law forbidding everyone to pray to anyone but him for 24 hours? And where will they find all of the lions?
