— DrewM You had to know it was coming, didn't you?
Here's some reading on Libya that might be interesting:
Cherry picking intelligence?
The changing threat environment.
We went with the cheap private protection package in Libya. That worked out well. (via a good Twitter follow....Jeff Emanuel)
And related enough: US Marines training for embassy contingencies might be in danger of a damaging cut in funding because of sequestration. (via another good Twitter follow, Robert Caruso)
Mitt Romney has an Op-ed on President Foreign Policy's foreign policy failures.
Hysterically enough, longtime Romney shill Jen Rubin isn't happy with it. She wants Mitt to say he'll ask Congress for a de facto declaration of war on Iran. Related, Jen Rubin is bat-shit crazy.
Unrelated: You can still buy my Electoral College map app. Make your state by state predictions and share them via facebook and Twitter. You can make as many predictions as you want and post them often as events (such as SCOAMF lies and the debates) warrant.

And yet our media betters tell us daily what a bad few weeks Romney has had. Don't they know that when Romney wins in a landslide that what shred of any credibility they had will go along with JEF.
Between an imploding middle east, F&F, economy, etc. how any rational person can justify and vote for SCOAMF is beyond me.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration should delete some climate sensors from its next-generation polar-orbiting weather satellite program and streamline its management to save money, an independent report said.
The report, released Sept. 21, said the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) should not be responsible for flying two climate-change instruments: the Clouds and EarthÂ’s Radiant Energy System sensor and the Total Solar Irradiance Sensor.
AlGore hardest hit.

For suggesting a credible military threat against Iran? "Authorization" does not mean "Send 400,000 US soldiers to Iran". You could argue no authorization is necessary and cite dozens of acts of war against the US through the years.

Did you read the Op-Ed? That didn't have much (if any) place in it. His foreign policy is very Americo-centric. Strengthen our ties with our allies (both nations and individuals) to support and protect them. Strengthen our Economy to provide more "oomph" for our "Soft Power" (embargoes, sanctions, etc.). Strengthen our Military to provide the physical back up in case the Soft Power doesn't work.

But 10 percent of likely voters say they could still change their minds. Of that group, more than half are independent voters.
“The 10 percent persuadable could change the race,” Democratic strategist Celinda Lake said."

That said, this is the key passage from Rubin:
> What is missing from the op-ed is a clear set of policy differences he has with the president and an indictment of the president’s ”engage the Muslim World” strategy that failed so horrifically.
Right. If Romney *is* going to opine on the Middle East and thus dilute the "all economy, all the time" message, then he needs to make it count.
Don't throw a half-hearted punch--especially since it gives the media a chance to fire at Romney and thus avoid the current jackasses in the room (F&F and the Middle East). If you want to take a swing, put some oomph into it.
And it's intellectual dishonesty, Drew, to equate Congressional authorization for a use of force as "de facto declaration of war."

Thought for the Day:
The Egyptian Embassy attack was a terrorist attack too.
"Connecting the dots", what happened was that as the 9/11 anniversary came up, somebody surfed the web for videos that insult Mohammed and aired what they found on Egyptian TV on 9/10 (or was it the day before?) - in order to get an angry mob riled up for a "demonstration" at the embassy. Egyptian TV is probably controlled by the govt there, and that same govt did not provide security for the US Embassy. IIRC, the same group demonstrating are the guys in power.
The Embassy was aware of what was going on, which is why they put out that desperate statement beforehand (the one that Mitt Romney criticized).
The whole thing was orchestrated - inciting a mob to attack the US Embassy in Egypt on 9/11 - and apparently with the blessing of the govt (if they didn't organize it themselves).
This, from the govt that Obama said he was "relieved" to see take power.

I think dragging out “racism” as the reason people don’t support Obama is only 20% about trying to motivate the most low-information of black voters to turnout on election day “to stop the racists from preventing Obama’s second term”; 80% of the reason the Washington Post is trotting out this old canard is because they are laying the groundwork to excuse away an Obama loss. This is not something they’d be doing if they really expected him to win. What would be the point?

Des Moines Register poll of likely voters has Obama with a 49%-45% lead. yep with a TRAGICALLY FLAWED Poll

Maybe so. Unfortunately for America, Rasmussen and Gallup still have Barky ahead by 3 and 5 points respectively.

She also found groups that claimed to be motivated only by politics but whose sites still led to racist rhetoric.
The mission statement for one such group stated: “No! I don’t hate blacks! I just think Barack Obama is a terrible president.” Its page posed the question: “Don’t you just hate it when people call you racist because you hate Barack Obama? Do they ever consider that Barack Obama may just be a [expletive] president?”

There are no "quims" on The View.
Quim is pink. Twat's purple.

Yes, in a perfect world the two would always be the same, be it from the Dem or GOP candidate. Also, we'd all have Skittle-shitting unicorns for pets and a funny blog comment would get one laid immediately.

Response rates? Yea, 9%.
Tell me what the OTHER 91% of the nation thinks and we can talk.

I just checked my Depends - still dry and clean. But I am tending towards the realization that it's not exactly time to uncork the champagne.

Pretty sure we're already covertly aiding fighting Iran in Syria to some extent based on extrapolation from news articles. And they publically announced something as well.
This is the simplest form of basic diplomacy: carrot and stick. Not that a president needs authorization to attack Iran, he doesn't. Which nobody has even disputed since I pointed it out.
The idea is to credibly threaten Iran with a credible threat, like a piece of paper in the form of an 'authorization,' in order to gain compliance with the tatters of the NP regime. If anyone thinks an Iranian war with Israel will not immediately entangle the US, look at the deployment of western navies in and around the Persian Gulf.
We're talking about a piece of paper man. Not the actual war. Paper.

Bush was told - bin Laden wants to strike the continental US. From that Bush was supposed to know exactly what, where, when and how 9/11 would happen
Obama was told two day before the Libyan attack - terrorists will strike the Bengazi consulate on 9/11. That information is much too vague according to the MSM.

Well, in my mind I did.

I know you mean well, but I was around back then. Technologically, you might as well be talking about horse and buggy polling. Modern trend analysis is a lot more involved than it was then. I figure Romney has a shot at Florida and Wisconsin. But without Pennsylvania and Ohio, it's another long session with the jug-eared goat-boy.

Saddam made himself as easy as possible to invade. The Iranians aren't that dumb. And that's not speculation. Saddam chose to invade multiple neighbors, and having lost, to violate his terms of truce as comprehensively as possible. The Iranians have not done that.
More to the point, if you think what the voting public wants to hear about is another war in the Middle East, I disagree with you and Jennifer Rubin.
And that is what she was advocating - not just a policy, but a bold public stance for an election, as a way to differentiate the two candidates.
It's not going to sell. No way, no how. Not on any level.
