Obama does have his
priorities. And campaigning for
the re-election of His Glorious Self is more important than, say, an
intelligence briefing yesterday . . . the day after the attacks on our embassies in
Libya and Cairo . . . or on just about any other day for that matter:
How long had it been since President
Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting in the lead-up to the Sept. 11
attacks on U.S.
diplomatic facilities in Egypt and Libya? After all, our adversaries are
known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States.
According to the public schedule of
the president, the last time the Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting
was Sept. 5 — a week before Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and
terrorists killed our ambassador to Tripoli. The president was scheduled to
hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the
attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the
State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the
intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama
apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser
for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.
In all seriousness, Obama’s
negligence is inexcusable. And, as if
that isn’t bad enough, there are reports that the embassy in Benghazi, Libya
was close to defenseless and may have had no Marine protection. In the Middle East?? On 9-11?? Really??
