—Great timing for Eric Holder...—
This is much more serious than that. This is like burning down your house as an excuse for why you didn’t finish your homework on time.
We basically accused them of an act of war. You don’t say that kind of stuff and then go on to life as usual. Not if you are even remotely aware of how geopolotics works. Hitler learned that the hard way after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor (when he declared war on the US). It opens up possibilities for your adversary. And it opens up possibilities and requirements for you.
First I agree with you 100% but remember that storming an embassy is an act of war also and the Carter administration went on with life as usual during the Iranian hostage situation.
“This is much more serious than that.”
Of course it is. What is most important is how we respond. Will we issue a strongly worded letter or let the missiles fly? Will it be diplomatic channels, or laser targeted munitions?
Maybe the UN can hold a vote of disapproval...
Sad.
The jackarse announced it today because he needs the Republicans to tell him what to do via the debate tonight.
