Former Iranian Hostage Don Cooke Compares Obama’s Foreign Policy to Jimmy Carter … Using the Same Ambivalence as Carter in the 1970′s
Here is a ringing endorsement against Barack Obama and his foreign policy failures.
Don Cooke, former Iranian hostage who was taken hostage by Islamist students and militants at the U.S. Embassy on November 4, 1979 in Tehran at age 23 and held for 444 days, was interviewed by FOX News over the weekend and stated that Barack Obama is showing the same ambivalent foreign policy as Jimmy Carter. There is something to be proud of, having the same ambivalent foreign policy as another failed Democrat president.
From the FOX News Insider:
Cooke said the crisis started during a period – under President Jimmy Carter – of “ambivalent” foreign policy toward the Middle East. He said only after the election of Ronald Reagan did the Iranian government realize the U.S. was serious and release the hostages.
“At this point, (Iran) sees ambivalence in the U.S. foreign policy and they don’t see any particular reason to stop (their nuclear program). … The sanctions are starting to bite, but I wish we had gone to these very punishing sanctions a bit earlier. Maybe we might see results by now,” Cooke said.

LVRJ Rips Obama over Benghazi Terrorist Blunder, Lies and Cover Up … Obama unworthy commander-in-chief
No truer words have ever been spoken … the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that President Barack Obama is unworthy of being Commander in Chief.
The LVRJ blast Barack Obama for his handling of the Benghazi attacks that gave rise to the death of four Americans including US Ambassador Stevens. The Obama administration botched Benghazi before, during and after the attacks. We are always very critical of the MSM; however, we give kudos when it is deserved. It certainly is here.
The Obama administration sat by doing nothing for seven hours that night, ignoring calls to dispatch help from our bases in Italy, less than two hours away. It has spent the past seven weeks stretching the story out, engaging in misdirection and deception involving supposed indigenous outrage over an obscure anti-Muslim video, confident that with the aid of a docile press corps this infamous climax to four years of misguided foreign policy can be swept under the rug, at least until after Tuesday’s election.
I have to admit I am impressed by the LVRJ and their extremely truthful accounts of this story and Obama’s failure as Commander in Chief. However, the MSM has all but avoided it, namely the TV media. Instead of providing answers to things that he knows first hand, Obama has dodged the questions so the the outcome is done after the election. Is that what we need as a Commander in Chief, a president that would hold off on the truth of the death of 4 Americans for his own political gain?
Not only did the White House do nothing, there are now reports that a counterterrorism team ready to launch a rescue mission was ordered to stand down.
Read the full story HERE, it is an eye opener, especially coming from the MSM. Could this have an affect in Nevada voting? The end result is that Obama has lost the right yo be president.
FOX News Catherine Herridge: State Department Culpable in Death of Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty & Sean Smith
Is this the “SMOKING GUN” … Just imagine America if the rest of the MSM did their jobs and covered the Benghazi murders and Obama White House cover up like they did “Watergate”?
Last night FOX News foreign policy analyst Catherine Herridge went ‘On the record’ with Greta van Susteren and made a damning but factually correct statement … “From what I see the State Department has culpability in the death of the US Ambassador and three Americans.”
This followed the release of the “classified” cable from Ambassador Stevens on August 15 to the State Department that stated the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack.”
VIDEO Hat Tip – The Gateway Pundit
Catherine Herridge:
“What I see is a growing body of evidence that the State Department has culpability in the death of the ambassador and those three Americans. The warnings were specific. They were direct. They named the enemy and they said that this consulate needed more support. And it also indicated in the cable that the consulate should probably move long term into the annex. We now know that’s the CIA facility in Benghazi… I think it’s important that the people who died have themselves honored with the facts and I think we’re starting to get the facts.”
However, instead we are presented with no answers and stonewalling from President Barack Obama and his Administration. Obama claims we must wait for the investigation, yet he refuses to tell America what he knew and when he knew it. Sound familiar America? Barack Obama, the Democrat Obamamessiah is nothing more than Richard Nixon with a “D”.
In the below video, former Bush AG Michael Mukasey is questioning why Barack Obama needs an investigation before he reveals what he personally knew and when he knew it about the Benghazi attack and whether he took any action to stop it. Heck, how about help once the attack began! The reason why not … his reelection.
Classified August Cable Signed By Ambassador Stevens Warned Benghazi Consulate Couldn’t Withstand ‘Coordinated Attack’ and Obama Administration Did Nothing
The Obama Administration knew and did absolutely nothing …
A little less than a month before the Benghazi, Libya consulate attack, Ambassidor Stevens sent an cable to the State Department that the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack”. As reported by FOX News and ignored by the rest of the in the tank for Obama MSM. The classified cable was sent on August 15 and addressed to Hillary Clinton and the State Department stating that terror groups were on the rise such as Islamist militias, Al-Qaeda, QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.
The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.
Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.
“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.
According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.
As we are reminded by Hot Air, this was not the first of such warnings, it was at least the third. There is no way that the State Department can claim that they were not aware of the dangerous situation on the ground in Benghazi as the consulate had been attacked on multiple occasions. It is also impossible to believe, as stated at NRO, that this escalation of violence and danger had not been passed on to the White House and President Obama.
However, Obama continues to stonewall and refuse to answer questions as to why Ambassidor Steven’s pleas for security went unanswered and why Steven’s cries for help on 9-11 were denied. The result, Stevens and three others were murdered by terrorists as the Obama WH blamed a video tape knowing full well what the truth was.
How can anyone justify not only not securing the facility, but abandoning them and leaving them to die? This is why Obama refuses to answer questions. Benghazigate is worse than Watergate as people died, yet the MSM refuses to cover the story because it would harm their candidate. Shameful, simply shameful.

Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi Recounts Meeting President, Sec. of State: Shaking Hands With Obama ‘Like Shaking Hands With Dead Fish’…. Hillary Clinton “Did Not Appear To Be One Bit Sincere At All”
Charles Woods, Father Tyrone Woods calls into the Lars Larson Radio Program
CHARLES WOODS: “I could tell…He kinda mumbled, I’m sorry. His face was looking at me but his eye were looking over my shoulder like he couldn’t look me in the eye”
How could you blame a father from being so critical of the Obama Administration who refuses to provide a family answers to the death of his son and is covering up what really happened? Obama and his minions have stonewalled those he want the truth in a political four-corners offense to make this “not optimal” reelection story of the death of four Americans do away. They pretend like they care, but from the mouth of a parent of a deceased son, that is hardly the case.
