US Ambassador to Libya killed - live - Telegraph


US Ambassador to Libya killed - live - Telegraph

In this article there is a timeline for the attack and the subsequent failure of both the administration and the Romney detail to adequately respond to a situation that is no longer smoldering. It has been smoldering far too long. It is now fully ablaze.

As the days stretch forward during an election that is heated and as close as it can get - it remains to be seen what the current administration can do to stop another debacle, such as that seen during the Carter administration.

Carter had only one country to deal with - Iran - and he did so poorly, leading to fall of the Shah, the rise of Khomeini, the exodus of Iranian Jews, the rise of Islamic extremism and the deaths of thousands. To this day Iran lives under the religious control of Islamists, leading the rest of the Middle East to the same.

What has happened in Libya, Egypt Tunisia, Yemen and countries across the Middle East is no less than terrifying. As an American, a Catholic, a woman, and a person of Jewish extraction, I am fearful.

It should be noted that this is from a UK journal, that the reporting is decidedly Pro-Obama; the most common position of the British press.

I wait to see what will happen with baited breath. I fear not strength, but weakness.
