I have my thoughts on why that is so but it would mean more to all of us if you could say a few words about it. So that we can all understand the immense gravity of that situation, in your opinion, why would it be viewed as “Crisis Level Infinity?”
Okay, short of “Iran and Israel just launched 1,000 rockets at each other,” or “Europe’s stock market just wiped out to 1% and the NYSE is not opening,” in normal diplomatic life, a missing ambassador in Al Queda territory is one of the very biggest imaginable.
Obama went to bed with a missing ambassador, who might have been on youtube in a few hours pleading for his life, or admitting to shipping SA-22 manpads to the Syrian AQ groups. Or he could have gotten the Danny Pearl/Nick Berg intro to jihad 101.
Never mind the 3 dead pawns. The king and queen on this board, in this context, is the ambassador. A missing ambassador, in the hands of AQ, is 1,000 times worse than an ambassador who is a known KIA.
And this POTUS of ours went to bed, and left a “no border crossing rescue” set of standing orders.
Some good men are dead,
because Obama went to bed.
