Apparently
President Obama can’t see Egypt and Libya from his house. On the
anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks ever perpetrated on America,
our embassy in Cairo and our consulate in Benghazi were attacked by
violent Islamic mobs. In Cairo, they scaled the walls of our embassy,
destroyed our flag, and replaced it with a black Islamic banner. In
Benghazi, the armed gunmen set fire to our consulate and killed an
American staff member.
The Islamic radicals claim that these attacks are
in protest to some film criticizing Islam. In response to this, the
U.S. embassy in Cairo issued a statement that was so outrageous many of
us thought it must be a satire. The embassy actually apologized to the
violent mob attacking us, and it even went so far as to chastise those
who use free speech to “hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.” (Funny,
the current administration has no problem hurting the “religious
feelings” of Catholics.)
But where is the president’s
statement about this? These countries represent his much touted “Arab
Spring.” How’s that Arab Spring working out for us now? Have we received
an apology yet from our “friends” in the Muslim Brotherhood for the
assault on our embassy?
It’s about time our president stood
up for America and condemned these Islamic extremists. I realize there
must be a lot on his mind these days – what with our economy’s abysmal
jobless numbers and Moody’s new warning about yet another downgrade to
our nation’s credit rating due to the current administration’s failure
to come up with a credible deficit reduction plan. And, of course, he
has a busy schedule – with all those rounds of golf, softball interviews
with the “Pimp with the Limp,” and fundraising dinners with his
corporate cronies.
But our nation’s security should be of utmost
importance to our Commander-in-chief. America can’t afford any more
“leading from behind” in such a dangerous world. We already know that
President Obama likes to “speak softly” to our enemies. If he doesn’t
have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.
