In an attempt to throw water on Wisner’s remarks we have this from the BBC:
2043: US State Department spokesman PJ Crowley: “We have great respect for Frank Wisner and we were deeply appreciative of his willingness to travel to Egypt last week. He has not continued in any official capacity following the trip. The views he expressed today are his own. He did not coordinate his comments with the U.S. government.”
That’s not just being thrown under the bus, that’s being thrown under, then pulled out and thrown under again, then putting the bus in reverse and backing up a few times.
What is going on???
Also, notice how the media isn’t mentioning the report from the UK about how Obama betrayed British nat’l security and strategic interests to the Russians? That should be front page news.
Thanks for finding this-—

Ha? I guess the NYTimes will have to update its story:
