Comment on The Clueless Leading The Clueless by Dr Leo Strauss

The Rosen angle, he of Fox News, and the investigation of his alleged State Department contacts leading to leaks, is particularly interesting because it’s a self contained case with some documents now available to peruse. In going after Rosen’s personal and professional emails and examining his digital footprints in State as well as his alleged contact, the FBI appeared to be approaching the case as one of traditional counter intelligence. Even more interesting were the releases of Rosen’s emails setting up procedures to contact and signal his alleged source.

I agree with you that the Obama Administration’s prosecution of its security clampdown is part and parcel of its pattern, the AP being just the latest. Which sets in motion a recursive pattern of journalists and sources adopting more and more the precautions of traditional espionage to stay in contact, fomenting even more CI reaction, and so on.

At least Rosen wasn’t caught wearing some bad wigs . . .

I will hear Bob Woodward out, but the crime of Benghazi would be a crime of mismanagement. Not doing this or not doing that when so-and-so told you to do so. There can always be more security. The question is whether it was a reasonable level of security given the circumstances. That’s up for debate, but it’s a nuanced debate that most are not really qualified to participate in, right?

The Administration probably screwed up and people died.

Watergate was different. The Watergate was the Dem HQ on friggin’ Virginia Ave, NW, and not halfway around the world in Libya, for goodness sake.

Obama’s Watergate isn’t Benghazi, but probably more along the lines of his AP monitoring scandal. That’s a bigger blip on my radar. And it fits the administration’s pattern.

It’s a great question – does he remember? Probably because it was not authentically him, that moment doesn’t resonate naturally Obama.

You’re right about the noise. Interesting to see who’s adding to it – Woodward is now comparing Benghazi to Watergate. The good news is he has little of his former influence.

I’m not a poli sci or PR strategist expert by any means, but here’s how I would win on the Benghazi messaging. Something like:

It’s a tragedy, but our people, just like military folks, know what they’re signing up for. The only way to provide them total security is to do it Iraq-style: build a “green zone” city-within-a-city, a fortified embassy like the world has never seen. Do we REALLY want* to go down that path again? In the wake of this attack, I have beefed up security at blah blah, etc.

Of course, some hawks do want to go down that path, but they’re in a minority. They must be. Surely reality has asserted itself by now. Most of this Benghazi mess is just noise.

It’s really disgusting to me how Republicans can dare to use this as a political football. I honestly don’t know whether to be frightened at how craven that is, or optimistic that they’re so dense.

Which of course speaks to your point at how lame Barack can be in this context. Does he not remember that his moment of ferocity in the debate with Romney – when he barked back at Romeny for using Benghazi as a political football – does he not remember that being a really solid emotional performance? My opinion, anyway.

Prescient, cogent and timely. So much to chew on. Brilliant and provocative, as always Dr Strauss. Clearly you are head-and-shoulders above the rest, and are one of the only 3 or 4 people on Earth who can not just understand this thorny and complex situation, but explain it with such crystalline purity. Aside from Phil Rockstroh, Glenn Greenwald and Chris Hedges, I honor your contributions to policy analysis higher than anyone else.

I am humbled and awed by your immense brain.

Policy really is the pivot in the see-saw of life’s reality. Without your surgically precise inspection, dissection and analysis, nobody would understand how to get through their lunch hour of web surfing.

Nicely done. Top shelf.

Super!
