Enough Appeasement Already
Michael Totten unloads on Hillary. Totten has the rare blend of intimate, local knowledge of the Middle East, unwillingness to suffer American fools, and an ability to write. Worth the read.

#1  And I find so called honor killings, dancing boys, and moon worship “disgusting and reprehensible”.
Posted by: Besoeker || 09/14/2012 5:19 Comments || Top||

#2  Actually the apology and appeasement tour should never have started.
Posted by: JohnQC || 09/14/2012 10:23 Comments || Top||

#3  And I find elected officials and their appointed flunkies issuing apologies I would never issue myself disgusting and reprehensible...

#4  Got The Wife The Democrat to read Where the West Ends, Totten's latest book. She liked it and his point of view.

As Gandalf said, "There is always hope."

#5  One key thing that is being missed in this article is the assumption that the attackers were reacting to the movie. Evidence has surfaced that this was a multi-level preplanned attack (and that the embassy had warning). So the movie is just a convenient excuse for the attackers to blame America and the U.S. is being played a fool to be apologizing for it.

#1  The phone call on Tuesday was intended to calm the storm that had arisen over the New York snub, but the leak to the Times is also a message that no one should mistake. While his surrogates are still trying to reassure wavering Jewish voters that he backs Israel, the administration isn’t interested in doing anything about Iran and the president doesn’t care who knows it.

#2  The thought that came to mind on reading this and Bobby's comment is "what's going on here?"

Is this regime aware of things that are not in the public domain that tell them in clear fashion that they are going to lose big time in Nov.?

If, for example, the internal polls show a wipe out, and the true economic numbers show another crash in the next couple of weeks so they reach the conclusion that there's no hope left, what changes will they try to force through in the time left?

I would not put it past these vermin to go gotterdmerung on the country and try to take us all down with them.

Or am I being paranoid?

#3  It kind of makes sense if Champ knows he won't be re-elected. Why bother going to intel meetings? Why talk to Joos? Just phone it in, hang with celebs at glitzy fundraisers and pick out curtains for your Hawaiian mansion.

No, you are not paranoid. I expect scorched earth from the Left. Race riots and the whole nine yards.

#5  I expect that to fail quite quickly when they find out the other side is armed. Record gun sales the last 4 years remember?
Posted by: Charles || 09/14/2012 15:36 Comments || Top||

#6  ....when they find out the other side is armed

...and far better trained in using them rather than the usual gangbanger/cartel hire-a-thug most likely to show up.

BTW, depending upon locale, this coming week's Wallysmart sales flyer is advertizing Colt AR-15s and Sig Sauer SIGM400s. That might qualify for Portents and Signs.

#7  Or am I being paranoid?

Naw. It seems to happen every donk administration. I always feel like personal freedoms are at risk. Fast and Furious, Ruby Ridge, Waco. Seems like the donks are harder on the citizens than they are on our enemies.

#8  Thanks, I think.

You have convinced me that I'm not paranoid...but I think that scares me even more. 8^(

#9  #3 Iblis: exactly. Obozo is behaving like he knows he's short. Let the ingrates kvetch, let the embassies burn, let the meanies say mean things. He's off to his permanent Hawaiian vacation in 4 months, so who cares.

On one hand, it's terrifying. On the other, it is a relief to think we will be rid of him so easily.

#10  I don't know about being short and all.... Rasmussen polls today still show Bambi ahead in both Ohio and Florida; 2 states Romney HAS to win in the E.C.
While i dearly want to watch Champ and Mochelle climb into Marine One for their final flight, if Romney doesn't pick up the pace and start hitting these fools hard, we get fo' mo' years....
