Quote of the Day

Mark Steyn, from his SteynOnline website, speaking of the failure to send military aid to the beleaguered consular outpost in Benghazi, quoting from his dialog on the Hugh Hewitt radio show:

In those first few moments, when the President is informed what's going on, does somebody, does somebody take the decision that because this whole thing is unhelpful to their view of the world, they are not going to send force? Because that, to me, does render whoever made that decision ...unfit for office.

COTTonLINE concurs. The decision was purely political.
