The Middle East is approaching a nuclear a war between Iran and Israel. My hope is that America standing by Israel will avoid that war. There is one caveat. America should defend Israel because Israel is our ally not because it is the only democracy in the Middle East. No American should lift a finger to defend democracy in the Middle East or anywhere else.
Aside from the Israel-Iran conflict the Middle East appears to be falling into the hands of Muslim fundamentalists. The transformation began with the democracy-driven Arab Spring. The attack in Benghazi hit closer to home. I think Americans are more concerned over Benghazi than the big picture in the Middle East. In one sense Americans must feel the government cannot punish anyone for killing Americans even when they give interviews; so how the hell can the government solve anything else in the Middle East.
The coverup grinds on
The Ben Rhodes Benghazi e-mail is an embarrassment to those engaged in the coverup, but nothing much will come of it here at home, while Muslims in the Middle East will be emboldened when they see stuff like this:
You have to laugh at those press room briefings. Press secretaries are hired because they know how to make lies sound plausible. The Benghazi lies are ridiculous but oh so plausible.
Press secretaries are shit-stoppers; i.e. the press secretary is lying not the president. The joke is “Does this go all the way to the White House as it did in Watergate.” Nobody ever mentions that it already goes to the White House when press secretaries repeat the lies presidents tell.
Everybody already knows Suzy Five Shows lied; Hillary Clinton lied, everybody in the Administration lied. The lies continue to this day. So why the hell is the press asking questions Congress should be asking? Apparently journalists never heard this one:
Incidentally, the liars always point out that in the first few days after the attack in Benghazi the press was reporting that the attack was the result of an insulting homemade video. Here’s my RHETORICAL question. Where did the press get that information if not from the White House?
Muslim fundamentalism may have roots in the Middle East, but the violence seen in Benghazi has spread worldwide. Assuming there is an ounce of truth in the offensive video story I can only agree with Hillary Clinton:
If the goal is to prevent it from ever happening again the entire non-Muslim world should bury Islam with insulting videos, movies, books, cartoons, articles and novels —— not cave-in to their political orientation. Allowing Muslim fanatics to pick off stragglers legitimizes religious murder.
Parenthetically, if Muslims worldwide are so damned offended by freedom of speech it should be protected by practicing it —— the very thing Muslims object to. My emphasis in the following excerpt:
Testimony by retired a Air Force General, Robert Lovell, is far more significant than the Ben Rhodes e-mail. When asked about why the military did not respond while Americans were under attack General Lovell seemed to be walking a tightrope over dangerous waters. This video is a small part of Lovell’s testimony:
General Lovell’s comments near the end of the video say the military did not respond. I think he was carefully avoiding the only question of importance: Was the military told to stand down?
To be clear on this, General Lovell was in Europe at the time; so he would have no firsthand knowledge of what was said in the White House about a rescue mission. The “stand down order” is the only issue that matters. It is the only part of the Benghazi coverup the president cannot lie his way out of.
Notice that Rep. Issa is not giving up on finding out although I have not heard that any witnesses were ever nailed down about a possible stand down order.
Also notice that Congress concluded the military was never ordered to stand down. That, in itself, reeks of a coverup on par with the Administration’s video story because nobody knew how long those men under attack could hold out. Indeed, it is more of a coverup because Congress had ample time to analyze the flaw in the reason given for not sending help. Put it this way. Suppose the men under attack held out for 24 hours, or longer. What would the excuse be for not sending help?
Finally, The Left will never shed a tear for any American killed defending this country. Their hatred of the military goes back to the Vietnam War when they defended Communist expansion by claiming it was an unjust war. Socialists/Communists at the time were the organizers, while anti-war moralists are more anti-self-defense than they are anti-war. They always talk at the wrong people. They are so diseased with turn-the-other-cheekitis they would preach peace to the Christians instead of the lions.
Dennis Prager covers everything pretty well:
p.s. Mr. Prager was talking about the 2010 midterms. That battle is ongoing. This year it is the Senate. It was too late to stop the ACA in November 2010. The Middle East would still be an ongoing train wreck because the president has near-absolute control. But think how much better off the country would be domestically had the Democrats lost the Senate as well as the House in the 2010 midterm.
