So what?<br /><br />Oh, and, as I noted yesterday, David Kirkpatrick of <i>The New York Times</i> says the video <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/16/world/africa/election-year-stakes-overshadow-nuances-of-benghazi-investigation.html?pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow">did inspire the terrorist act.</a>Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-64798536675713262862012-10-17T12:47:22.618-04:002012-10-17T12:47:22.618-04:00Also, beware of using the "wrong" words ...Also, beware of using the "wrong" words about terrorism. Kerry said we should get to a point where terrorism is no more than a "nuisance," a perfectly acceptable statement. Of course it was turned into a horrible statement indicating that Kerry was discounting the terrorist threat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274362313057502371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-28277140791991850782012-10-17T12:40:34.219-04:002012-10-17T12:40:34.219-04:00None of which is to say that al-Qaeda, the Taliban...None of which is to say that al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or Muslim extremism can in any sense by any policy short of outright genoicde be defeated or that we ought not to just vacate the region, right now.<br /><br />In fact, we should never have invaded either Afghanistan or Iraq and the sooner we leave, totally, the better.<br /><br />Thinking as I do on that topic, I will vote, if at all, for the lesser idiot, next month, Mr. Obama.<br /><br />And I sincerely hope he wins, though mostly for reasons having nothing to do with foreign affairs.Philo Vaihingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150326435392881297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-15926691097320546532012-10-17T12:34:13.531-04:002012-10-17T12:34:13.531-04:00You're missing the substance of the Republican...You're missing the substance of the Republican charge that the administration did its best to deflect attention from the Benghazi incident as an al-Qaeda terrorist attack and mask it as a mass civilian demonstration of outrage at a silly video both to avoid being charged with inadequate preparation after plenty of warning and to avoid embarrassment for their many claims to have al-Qaeda on the ropes and their brags about killing Osama.<br /><br />The first is a possible motive but less likely, I think, than the second.<br /><br />The second is a pretty safe bet.<br /><br />Not only were they visibly and repeatedly and angrily seeking to direct blame onto that schmuck and his video in order not to be blamed, themselves, for exaggerating the successes of the "war on terrorism" Obama so willingly inherited from GW, but also they were reinforcing their standard rap that even specifically religion-based Muslim hatred for us is actually our fault rather than, say, an especially repulsive trait of an especially bloody and awful religion.<br /><br />I refer to that whole, shameful free speech versus "irresponsible" or "offensive" speech thing of theirs.<br /><br />Oh, that's right.<br /><br />And yours.Philo Vaihingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150326435392881297noreply@blogger.com
