Alright, things are blowing up, figuratively speaking, so far, in the Middle East, and now in North Africa. We have an Ambassador and three other consulate employees murdered, and massive demonstrations in most of the countries in the Middle East and Tunisia in North Africa. Supposedly this was all in response to a short, amateur film that is less than kind to Mohammad. The first thing that the Embassy in Egypt did, in response to the first wave of protesters, was to issue a memo that apologized for what an American did, in exercise of his freedom of speech, that radical Muslims saw as an insult to Islam. But I don't believe the film was the cause of the protests, and neither should you, despite what the dinosaur media seems to be saying most of the time. This was a coordinated attack, in many countries at almost the same time, with the goal of killing as many people as possible. It would have been much worse if our Ambassador hadn't sent most of the employees home before it escalated. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was not initially in the consulate in Benghazi, but was summoned from Tripoli when the protests first started. He was in the process of trying, in his car, to remove himself and the three employees from the consulate compound, but was cut off, or ambushed, and killed by a Rocket Propelled Grenade. We lost track of Ambassador Stevens for nine hours Tuesday night, during which time Obama went to bed! I guess not knowing where your Ambassador to Libya is isn't reason enough to stay on the phone to that country, or to anybody else that we have worked with over there, until he is found. Well, Obama did have an early call to get to Las Vegas for a fund-raiser event, and sleep is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Obama's foreign policy of apology and appeasement is at the root cause of the violence and protests taking place in the middle East and North Africa at this time. He has made us look weak to the rest of the world, and the consequences are beginning to take place. On top of that, Obama has reportedly not been to his daily intellegence briefing since September 5, or he would have known about the suspected unrest, and the concern about the 11th Anniversary of 9/11. They had information that there might be unrest in the Islamic countries, but, although he supposedly read the briefings every morning, I guess he didn't see fit to beef up the security around our Embassies and Consulates, despite having been warned that we had intelligence saying that something was going to happen on that day. Obama's policies have reduced us as a Super Power in the rest of the World, and even the Russians are laughing at us. Did you hear that when the retired Navy General that spoke at the Democratic Convention was delivering his speech, there was a picture on the SuperCam screens of three huge American warships? Oh, wait, those were RUSSIAN warships! Whoever made that mistake, if it was a mistake, probably got a tiny slap, but I imagine that the Russian Generals of those warships got a huge laugh out of it. And never doubt, they did hear about it. I listened to a call from an American teacher at a University in China on Tuesday, and he said that even the students laugh at us in China. It's time to get a President who will restore America to Super Power status, and who will make it clear to the world that we will not tolerate violence like what took place Monday night and Tuesday morning. It's time to elect Mitt Romney.
