So, if we had a strong president, our embassies wouldn't have been attacked?
Yes that's right...
Didn't we have a strong president on 9/11/01?
Yes that's right, who inherited a weak nation that had been weakned under Bill Clinton and his antics over time, and also his weakness in dealing with the terrorist threat at that time. I mean just look at how well Desert Storm went for us and the world, and how unified we were as a nation back then under Bush Sr. during that period of war and troubles. Yes he had to deal with Sadam and his invasion of Kuwait, and they did it absolutely flawlessly. We had representation for all Americans concerning wars and the threat of wars during that time in the world, then came Bill to capitalize on what was left to him as a stronger nation, but then failed on his ability to deal with the continued terrorist threats in the world. This failure was cast onto Bush on 9-11, who spent years digging us out from under that one. Now comes Obama.
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassies in Lebanon and Kuwait were attacked in 1983?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Indonesia was attacked in 1986?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Italy was attacked in 1987?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Israel was attacked in 1990?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Pakistan was attacked in 2002?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Uzbekistan was attacked in 2004?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassies in Saudi Arabia and Syria were attacked in 2005?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Greece was attacked in 2007?
Didn't we have a strong president when our embassy in Austria was attacked in 2007?
The President alone ? Or was it also by our military that is depended upon by the President to do it's job in the world as well, along with the state department who is also depended upon to do their jobs in the world as well also, and this if a President is a bit weaker or less undestanding of the things that are deadly unto Americans ? So yes there is a difference in leadeship styles at any given time in America, and yet where their is a lacking of or weakness shown, then it is expected that the branches will make up for the weakness as is shown, by doing the right things in which they have been tasked with and are trained also to do, and this in order to project strength & resolve at all times regardless of who is President within the nation, and is viewed throughout the world.
Apparently, you have zero knowledge of history. There have been a LOT of embassy attacks under the auspices of strong Republican leadership. I wonder why you're pretending that this attack is somehow different.
It all depends on the outcomes and the long term results aftewards, in which speaks multitudes upon who was the best representitive for the job at any given time, and how the world reacted to the leadership at any given time while on the job.
[QUestion: Were Germany and Japan's embassies attacked this week because their leadership is pandering to Islam?
What part of Islam were they pandering to ? Makes a huge difference doesn't it ?
[Do you know when our embassies started being attacked by Islamic radicals? It all started when we began meddling in the internal affairs of Middle Eastern countries back in the 1970s. Before that, all of the attacks on our embassies were related to the Vietnam war. The attacks on our embassies escalated rapidly following our invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
And they did nothing at all to warrant any such actions by America upon them now did they ?
Do you think that's a coincidence?
No it was in response to us responding to them declaring war on us on 9-11, so yes they went into full battle mode afterwards, because that was their plan all along.
So, here's another suggestion. Maybe we should get the fuck out of the middle east, stop mucking about in the affairs of other countries, stop propping up corrupt dictators in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and see what happens.
Hmmm, along with that thought, it is that we also need to stop bringing the middle east into this nation, where as they can work on us from within and also from without, then lets see what happens after that.
