Liar's Club |
I don't know how Charlene Lamb, a security official for our embassies, got it wrong too when she failed to provide sufficient security for Ambassador Stevens. Even Susan Rice gets more security than the Libyan Consulate had, and being a native New Yorker, I don't believe New York is all that dangerous compared to most Islamic countries. I suspect if Ms. Lamb was stationed in Libya and was in charge of providing her own security and that of her family, there would have been far more boots on the ground gunned to the teeth. The walls would have been higher, more impenetrable, meeting those security specifications that were allowed to be overlooked when Stevens was alive.
There's an irony about an administration that calls Mitt Romney a liar and goes about lying to the American public. In psychology that's called projection. One thing you can count on is that whatever the Obama folks say, the opposite is likely true.
My latest novel, Jihad
Joe, is about Islamic
terrorism and suspense. In it I challenge the precepts of the religion
through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who
is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three
Gitmo prisoners. Of course, American policy demands we never give in to
terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
