I write to you at this time of dire trouble for our country and for Israel.
Last week America was under attack. Our ambassador to Libya and three
other Americans were slaughtered by Muslim extremists. This was not a
spontaneous "protest" against an admittedly stupid video. This was an
organized military assault, coordinated expressly for execution on
9/11.
Likewise, the "protests" in Cairo at the American embassy where our flag was shredded, and the black Islamist flag of al-Qaeda was raised in its place. Reliable sources say the US was forewarned of both attacks -- probably by Israel. But America's State Department ignored those warnings. Why?
The Obama administration's reactions to these outrages was sadly typical. The very next day, President Obama incongruously flew off to Las Vegas to raise funds. Lamentably, our government still apologizes for that inane video, made by an Egyptian Coptic.
Where is the leadership here? What has such ongoing appeasement gotten us? President Obama once promised a "reset" of America's relationship with the Muslim world. But the reality has been far different. The Islamic world holds us in greater contempt than ever, seeing Obama's America as weak, and as incapable, or unwilling, to defend our interests and our friends.
