A Repeat Of The Carter Years Looks More and More Like Wishful Thinking

9/11/2012: American Killed, Consulate Burned, Embassy Overrun; U.S. Apologizes.

Hinderaker:  A low-water mark in the history of American diplomacy.

But the Obama administration is already starting to backpedal.

Byron York:  "Direct attack by mobs on an American embassy, involving death, the destruction of a U.S. flag and the invoking of al Qaeda -- on September 11, of all days -- will certainly stir outrage among many Americans. And the Obama administration's weak, apologizing response will likely prompt a strong Republican response in days to come."  As it should.

He does, however, have time for a Letterman appearance.

Bow To Nobody

Via Breibart.com:  Ryan Zinke, the former Navy SEAL who started the super PAC, spoke exclusively with Breitbart News today. “The ad itself accurately portrays where this President is,” said Zinke. “It accurately portrays his core belief that America should not lead. This president is shaping America to be one of the followers, to relinquish our role as a world leader. I didn’t fight 23 years as a Navy SEAL to watch America bow to anybody.”

Biden Puts Blame on America For Iranian Nuke Crisis: "We Were the Problem."

Yes, you read that correctly.  Here is the quote, via the Gateway Pundit:

“When we took office, let me remind you, there was virtually no international pressure on Iran. We were the problem. We were diplomatically isolated in the world, in the region, in Europe.”

As with everything else, this Administration is now trying to shift the blame it deserves for losing the Middle East.
