Two attacks on our embassies in the
past 5 months. Embassies are national assets. No different than an
attack upon one of our warships (or fleets) or military aircraft. No
response from the Obama administration that I am aware of.
Actually, I favor
our enemy attacking our military. Our soldiers are paid to risk their
lives in engagements with our enemies. And they are well armed and
trained. Now that the war in Iraq is “over” and our involvement
in Afghanistan is winding down, our enemies have recovered from the
black eye we gave them. Attacking an embassy is far better for them
than attacking one of our armored formations.
The biggest advantage that our enemy
has is the ability to 'hide' in civilian affairs. The embassies are a
great target because of the interaction they must inherently have
with the civilians in the country they are located. Attacking a
military installation where civilians are excluded removes one of the
largest advantages our enemy has. This is one of the reasons why we were winning in Iraq
and Afghanistan. And this is why we are losing today. And our
leadership seems to think that it is just going away.
