What is wrong with this picture... [View all]

The Secretary of State flies half across the globe to have a pleasant chat with the folks whose consulate was the site of the butchering of an American journalist. Upon his return, the Secretary is asked about his visit and he declares it a great success because the suspected perpetrators have promised him that they will "conduct an investigation."

Meanwhile, our President tells us that he doesn't want to lose out on the Saudis' blood money.

It couldn't be any clearer, this may not be a constitutional crisis, but it is a moral disaster and a bare faced challenge to every good thing we were, are or hoped we would ever be as a country.

I think that if we let this one by, we've pretty much lost everything.
