(58,283 posts)We are investigating the murder and there are people in custody. The Libyan government is cooperating. This is how we should have responded to 9/11 instead of starting 2 wars. She is suggesting we go to war all over again because the taliban and al quaida have not disappeared. No, that strategy was tried and it failed.
Geez, when did Lara Logan turn into such a war hawk? I'm thinking PTSD from her rape by a rabble in Egypt has taken away her objectivity here. Of all the subjects for her to choose to render an opinion on, this should not have been it.

(272 posts)And I happen to agree with her... The President and his administration have been sugar-coating things in the Middle-East, and this is going to hurt his re-election chances...
The past few weeks have been AWFUL for the administration, and I for one, am not going to be surpised if we wake up to a President Mitt The Shit next month.
And God help us, if that happens........

(3,526 posts)...you need to find better sources besides hysterical journalists and bad polls like Pew.
Sounds like you're blaming ALL Egyptians for what happened to Logan. Is that true, or not?
Tell us all where you think the President has sugar-coated the situation in the Middle East.

(14,400 posts)when quoting an article taken from and jacked beyond recognition of what Logan really said by "The Blaze". That's the shithole populated by Glen Beckkk with his sycophants.
on edit: it looks like "The Blaze" simply stole this from The Sun Times and added it's byline after taking out the last part of the original.

(18,184 posts)"bad news" it makes it look like you're relishing it.
That's not just here, that's on any partisan message board, I've seen the same phenomenon on Free Republic.
As to the article, there is some merit to her analysis but her I disagree with her solution.

(3,526 posts)Quote from the article itself:
"The CBS foreign correspondent, who broke with her traditional journalists role and actually shared her personal opinion with the group, also called for retribution for the slaying of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, two Navy SEALs and one additional U.S. civil servant in Libya.
According to the Sun Times, Logan hopes America will exact revenge and let the world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil. That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States will not stand by and do nothing about it.
"...do nothing about it"?? Really?? Who does that sound like?
