Nor does it excuse the fact that Obama and Hillary and all the rest of the administration just sat there for hours, while the situation deteriorated, and did nothing to send in help.
This brings me back to the old argument we often used to have here. Is Obama evil or stupid?
Well, in fact, he is both—evil and stupid.
I think it’s likely, though not provable, that this was meant to be some kind of October Surprise that went wrong. Not the first time that has happened. And now the Iranians have messed up his plans, too. And Putin is refusing to play nice, despite all the prezzies Obama has given him.
Blackhawk Down—> Chickenhawk BACKDOWN
I think Putin may be seeing the writing on the wall and hedging his bets. His chest-thumping missile exercises are designed to solidify his standing with neo-Soviet hard liners in the event Obama loses (and at the same time, to cow the ‘flexible’ Obama into submission on missile defense if he wins).
Bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building?
