Advice for the President on Egypt

by

“If President Mohamed Morsi wants a single dime of American aid,” writes Michael Rubin in Commentary:

he should arrest every single Egyptian who violated the embassy walls. Remember, when the U.S. embassy in Tehran was seized on November 4, 1979, it was actually the second attack on the embassy. A few months earlier, Iranians had violated the embassy grounds and Carter administration inaction had convinced them that they could get away with it again. There can be no excuses, nor should President Obama or the Congress accept any.

Read the whole thing.

SIDE-BAR:  Fascinating how our legacy media focus on the supposed inappropriateness of Romney’s criticism of the administration’s action and not on the administration’s own inept response.

Comments

  1. The administration’s response to Mitt Romney was quick and unequivocal: much faster and much stronger than their response to the Egyptians and Libyans. Obama is feckless, thin-skinned and in way over his head. For him and Hillary to stand there today and claim that the Libyans were trying to carry Ambassador Stevens to safety/the hospital is an insult to any sentient being. I am absolutely disgusted with our Commander in Chief and the Media that is attacking Mitt Romney. Clint Eastwood was spot on. President Empty Chair needs to go.

  2. The admin response is pretty weak sauce at the moment-and hey Obama has a campaign stop in Nevada which is far more important than keeping our embassies safe.

    I am also bothered by the fact the the media cares more about what Romney said and when he said it, and condemning film makers than covering the actual story that a bunch of violent muslims attacked two embassies and killed 4 people including the ambassador.

    US should cut off aid and reduce the embassies to minimal diplomatic purposes.

    But but but… the Dear Leader personally (or as Slow Joe would say, LITERALLY) killed OBL! /sarc

  5. Its realy quite entertaining to watch these so called professionals TWIST in the WIND and try to remain composed. Romney did another driveby first while the ONE was playing patsy.

    Of course they have to bark…it is expected.

  6. If after this nonsense, the American people see fit to re-elect Obama, then surely our will to exist as a nation is gone.

    No one, but no one should get away with attacking Americans in such a vile manner and dragging their bodies through the streets!

  9. There’s plenty of room at Gitmo…certainly for the Libyan murderers. They murdered US diplomatic personnel on US soil. Arrest them all, we have plenty of C-17s and hoods.

  13. @11: I say skip the first option… I like the delivery option.

    What I want to know is why our Marines were not shooting anyone one coming over the embassy walls? Why was air support not called in from our ships in the Med?

    The lesson that should’ve been taught is that we will defend our territory (the embassies are sovereign) ruthlessly. That lesson would have made an impression elsewhere.

    As far as the Libyan outrage… speechless. Savage bastards.

    It’s should be obvious to all that these these nations can be governed only by tyrants of the Saddam Hussein, Quadafi, Mubarek molds. Assad may be an evil SOB but we should know by now that whatever follows will almost certainly be worse.

    As long as the tyrants leave us alone, leave them alone.

  15. Remember Huma Abedin? Michele Bachman questioned her association to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and was soundly slapped down for the inferences.

    Huma Abedin: Close aide to Hillary Clinton; her mother, Saleha, is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, which is the female division of the Muslim Brotherhood; her mother heads The International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child, which is part of the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief; Both of these organizations are arms of the Union of Good which supports Hamas and is formally designated a terrorist organization under U.S. law.

    Sheikh Yusaf al-Qaradawi: the Muslim Brotherhood’s top shari’a jurist; promoter of jihadist terror; has issued fatwas calling for terrorist attacks (including suicide bombing) against American personnel in Iraq; runs the Union of Good organization

    Coincidence: the State Department awarded a Fulbright Scholarship who is the daughter of Sheikh Qaradawi. The sheik is independently quite wealthy.

    Hillary Clinton: established formal contacts with Muslim Brotherhood; funds Eqypt under the Muslim Brotherhood control; dropped investigations concerning the Brotherhood and the Holy Land Foundation as co-conspirators in funding Hamas; hosted Brotherhood delegations to the White House, State Department and elsewhere in the U.S.; Issued a visa to a member of a designated terrorist organization (Islamic Group) to visit the U.S.; announced that Israel should resume its 1967 borders; excluded Israel from a counterterrorism forum; partnered with with Islamic governments who believe attacks on Israel are not terrorism.

    Anthony Weiner: married to Huma Abedin.

    From the New York Post:

    Anthony Weiner’s wife not only took him back, she took him back in style — moving with the shamed pol into a luxurious, $3.3 million Manhattan pad owned by a deep-pocketed Democratic donor, The Post has learned.
    After quitting his Queens House seat amid a notorious sexting scandal, Weiner and beautiful, brainy spouse Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, landed in the sprawling, 12th-floor Park Avenue trophy residence owned by Rosen Partners LLC, which is headed by close Clinton pal Jack Rosen, records show.

    Rosen — who oversees the American Jewish Congress — is an influential international political force. He’s been a guest at the White House, flies the Clintons in his private plane, and has poured money into both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s election campaigns over the years, according to campaign-finance records.

    The market-rate rent on Weiner and Abedin’s 2,120-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment — where the disgraced pol has said he spends his days doing laundry and changing baby son Jordan’s diapers — is at least $12,000 to $14,000 a month, real-estate sources said.
    A much smaller 1,476-square-foot, two-bedroom unit on a lower floor recently rented for $10,000, records show.

    Some Weiner-watchers are stunned that the pol, who gave up his $174,000 salary when he resigned, and Huma, who makes around $155,000 annually, can afford the posh pad at 254 Park Ave. South at East 20th Street.

    “Everyone assumes they live there for free, thanks to a donor, a friend of Bill and Hillary, or even just someone with an empty place who is connected,” the source said.

    But Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines insisted that Weiner and Abedin pay “market rate’’ for the pad.

    Nothing to see here, just move along.

    There must be a perfectly sound reason why a girl with a high placed Muslim mom involved in the inner workings of the Muslim Brotherhood is not to be questioned. After all, she is married to a Jew who had to quit Congress, but they have landed in a nice apartment owned by a powerful Jewish Democrat Party influence peddler and they are certainly paying the going rate for the place.

    Any questions?

    (Is it furnished or did someone loan them a card table and four chairs?)
