Maybe some token punishment will come just in time to erase the coverage of the VP debate or Hilly’s testimony about a lack of security. They have been beat up for lack of action, putting out lies after the fact, and not acting on known intelligence. The next spin will be ‘we took a while to determine what happened and acted with a measured response.’ This might be the October surprise. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I agree... But they will wait until the most key witness appears (whomever that is).
Democrats love to claim that Republicans use foreign policy to distract from domestic news, but nobody took it to the extreme limit like Clinton did. He bombed a pill factory on the day Monica Lewinsky testified (with not one notice of amazement or wonderment from anybody in your mainstream press), and then he bombed Bagdad on the same day he was being impeached by the Congress… And once again, your press acted as though it were just business as usual.
It was the two most blatant uses of fire power for domestic political purposes that I have ever witnessed, and I must admit this… It was very scary to me at the very least, and maybe in the same way that it must have been scary for many Germans when Hitler committed unconscionable action, after unconscionable action and if anybody did complain, it was drowned out by the majority of news broadcasters and journalist who didn’t scream ‘bloody hell’.
Yeah.. With the polls looking so bad for Obama, I’m sure there are a great deal of his advisors whispering that distraction is the only gambit they have left. Given his lack of knowledge and inability to actually lead, he’ll surely rely on their advice.
