Mark Steyn seems to feel that the Libya situation is not just the Islamic equivalent of a "two thumbs down" movie review...
How uppity of that infidel!
Here's his latest: Act of War, Not A Movie Protest
"The men who organized this attack knew the ambassador would be at the
consulate in Benghazi rather than at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. How
did that happen? They knew when he had been moved from the consulate to a
"safe house," and switched their attentions accordingly. How did that
happen? The United States government lost track of its ambassador for 10
hours. How did that happen? Perhaps, when they've investigated Mitt
Romney's press release for another three or four weeks, the court
eunuchs of the American media might like to look into some of these
fascinating questions, instead of leaving the only interesting reporting
on an American story to the foreign press."
Moreover:
"In the real America, the president is too busy to attend the security
briefing on the morning after a national debacle, but he does have time
to do Letterman and appear on a hip-hop radio show hosted by "The Pimp
With A Limp."
"In the real State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo is
guarded by Marines with no ammunition, but they do enjoy the soft-power
muscle of a Foreign Service officer, one Lloyd Schwartz, tweeting
frenziedly into cyberspace (including a whole chain directed at my own
Twitter handle, for some reason) about how America deplores insensitive
people who are so insensitively insensitive that they don't respectfully
respect all religions equally respectfully and sensitively, even as the
raging mob is pouring through the gates."
Seriously, could the idiotic POTUS who went to Vegas not just have stayed in Vegas?
Here is Steyn audio.
A really amazing interview-he is so very pissed, and so rightly so. From the transcript. Hey Obama:
"Why can’t you, you’re spending $4 trillion dollars a year, and you’ve
got these 12 year old speechwriters you’re so proud of, why couldn’t…and
you’re the king of the prompter, why couldn’t you on Air Force One,
you’re the only head of state in any major country who has a plane to
fly him around his own country in a 40 car motorcade."
"Why you’re on the
stupid plane, why can’t you actually take the trouble to learn some
words that would mean something and are appropriate to the occasion. If
you think of Reagan after the Space Shuttle thing, if you think of what
Mrs. Thatcher said after the Brighton bombing that killed cabinet
colleagues of hers, it’s horrible, it’s disgraceful. Nobody, no novelist
would attempt to do anything so crass after this man is dragged through
the streets, he’s killed dragged through the streets of Libya. God
knows what’s happened to him, if you believe some of the worst stories
out there."
"And then the guy goes to Vegas."
Regular Americans are probably ashamed, but Obama has no shame!
Remember: For more classic Steyn, buy the paperback version of America Alone.
