This is a correct statement. What we need are punitive and retaliatory measures, that exact a degree of pain on the WHOLE REGION.
What we should do is cut off all aid to Egypt and Lybia today. We then produce a list of all other Islamic countries receiving American aid, and announce that any aid to those countries will be cut off as well, by Friday, if a public statement condemning attacks on American interests is not proffered by said country's leadership.
This means Jordan, this means Saudi Arabia, this means Iraq, also the Palestinians.
Since we are not currently sending aid to Iran, more sanctions should be announced as a result of this, if they don't publicly condemn the violence perpetrated upon us on Sept 11 in Libya and Egypt.
Begin moving ships toward the region. Today.
But then our leader is not on our side, he's on the side of the Islamists. So he won't do any these things.
There are reports Libyan security forces aided the flash mob in locating the diplomats. We should insist those security personnel be turned over to the US for trial. Never happen, but we hear that about American personnel all the time. We should turn their own crap back on them.
Next, we should look at where Libyan security forces are housed. Perhaps a strike against that installation in retaliation for their complicity would deliver a message.
