If Only If Only If Only...

'...the Left and its comrades in the press would express even twenty percent of the outrage about the dictatorship now forming in Egypt as they did about Todd Akins ill-informed view of gynecology, Mitt Romney's wealth, and NFL referees--we might have a chance of the entire Middle east not blowing up just now.

OS Answers Your Questions: Hillary Really Is That Naive, Obama Really Is That Clueless, The Muslim Brotherhood Are Not Our Friends, And The Press Is Spending Its Energies Vilifying Romney

One question at a time, ya'll, cuz we have entered the Twilight Zone...

Hillary's statement after she found out that she had gotten her friend killed because she hung him out to drly in an unprotected building in Benghazi on September 11:

This is not easy. Today, many Americans are asking – indeed, I asked myself – how could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction? This question reflects just how complicated and, at times, how confounding the world can be.

Huh? Complicated and confounding? How'z-about incredibly dangerous, with vast swathes of it occupied by really bad people who will take innocent life without a second thought?

This is the woman who would have been President, and is in charge of representing our interests to the rest of the world, which she finds 'complicated and confounding'.


#2: Obama Really Is That Clueless

This guy skips intelligence briefings--many many of them. Won't meet with Bebe Netanyahu about the NUKES in IRAN, but will certainly be on time to meet with Letterman. All campaign appearances going ahead on schedule. First things first, after all.

#3: Mubarak Was A Bad Dude, But Obama Kicked Him Under The Bus In Favor Of The Muslim Brotherhood

Holy Jimmy Carter, Batman! We've seen this all before...and are still living with the fallout of Jimmy Carter kicking the Shah under the bus. The thugs who deposed the Shah run the place, and are busily building nukes to aim at Israel, whose leader Obama won't meet with, 'cuz he's got a show with Letterman.

By the way, in 2009-2010 Obama could have thrown his support behind all those kids who so desperately tried to turn Iran toward sanity. Instead, he stood by silently while the Iranian regime crushed their hopes. Those kids were pro-Western, by all appearances. They hate the mullahs. Why would Obama do that, and then turn around and support the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt?

It makes no sense. His behavior makes no sense.

#4: See #3 and #1  

#5: Yep, you got it. The real outrage is aimed at Romney for suggesting that Obama is clueless and our foreign service is feckless.

You gotta love Obama's response--how did he have time to do that interview with the world burning down around him, btw?

Mr. Obama fired back later in the day, accusing his opponent of politicizing a national tragedy. “Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later,” he told CBS News for its “60 Minutes” program. “And as president, one of the things I’ve learned is you can’t do that — that, you know, it’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts, and that you’ve thought through the ramifications.” 

OK, let's go over this again--numbers 1 through 4--and compare that record of behaviour with Himself's critique of Romney....hmm....and the press's microscopic coverage of Romney vs their blind acceptance of anything Himself might utter.

And then, we have his 'encouraging words' to campaign volunteers in Las Vegas yesterday--no cancellations of campaign appearances--

Obama, during his talk with the volunteers, described his visit to the State Department today. “I had a chance to go to the State Dept. to comfort some of the friends and co-workers of the the folks who had fallen and I reminded them that as hard as things are sometimes, as difficult as change is that if we’re resolute, if we don’t give up, if we don’t give in, if we don’t become cynical, if we continue to be realistic about how hard change is but also keep in our hearts that sense of idealism and sense of purpose then over time good things happen,” he said.

That's an interesting word, 'Change'. 'Change' from what, to what? Never ever defined, but there has to be a goal in mind. One does not become President without having a goal in mind...

Egypt From Tennessee, Tuesday Noon: Mubarak's GulfstreamMoment

Link TV is carrying the Al-Jazeera feed on our satellite TV, and the announcement just came from the State Department that the US ambassador to Egypt has met with opposition leader ElBaradei.

So, it's Mubarak's GulfstreamMoment. As in, load up the State Department Gulfstream with as much of Egypt's bullion as it can safely hold, load up yet another discredited dictator and his suitcase full of antiquities, and find a friendly place to deposit his 82-year-old discredited ass.

The Enterprise carrier group is steaming through the Med toward Egypt, preparing for our ChinookMoment. As in, the helicopters extracting our people from the US Embassy before the angry mobs overwhelm the reinforced Marine guards (who of course, won't be allowed to defend themselves), so that we can avoid a repeat of the Tehran1979Moment, or the Saigon1974Moment. (Anybody else notice how much Obama hates the Marines, until he needs them to save his ass?)

The US, UK and Europe are pulling their people out as quickly as possible. The term is known as 'bugging out'. It's not going smoothly.

It's all like a John LeCarre novel, played out on live TV, except that it's too bizarre even for a gifted novelist to create. A true JeffFoxworthyMoment, whose favorite quote is 'I can't make this stuff up, ya'll!'


And, for today's little RuhRohMoment, these greetings from the Muslim Brotherhood. Waiting in the wings, so they can push the country over the cliff into mass bloodshed. Sweeeeet....

But, the Suez Canal is still open, so all is well with the world. The Dow is up 146 points at noon US Central time.
