Not remotely. What has yet to be dealt with in any serious way is what the president knew and when he knew it. During the election, on Oct. 26, Obama told an interviewer “ the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.” Yet we now know that there was no effort to deploy forces to stop the attack on the consulate and, indeed, Special Forces were ordered to stand down.

So the questions are: What order, exactly, did the President give and when and to whom? What did they then do or not do to implement the order? and What did the President do after giving that order?

As far as we can tell, the answer to question three is that he went to sleep, wasn’t kept informed and the next day flew off to a fundraiser. Which is a shocking response indeed, if true, and a scandalous lie if false. It hasn’t yet become a major issue because the question hasn’t yet been forcefully asked. But it will be.

And then, of course, we’re going to work back to questions two and one. It’s not over. Not by a long shot.

Political pundit and author Martyn Brown joins David Akin with his take on the movement followed by political strategist Alise Mills.

Now it’s a bit troubling that a reporter would seem puzzled why communism might be regarded as bad; possibly she never heard of Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. But what’s amazing is that Toews would say “No” and then accuse his opponents of it anyway, almost as though he buys the hard left view that communism is harmless but pinning the label on people is an effective partisan smear by right-wing hacks.

Both of you, smarten up. Of course communism is bad. It claimed far more victims than Naziism and launched far more wars.

Political Commentator John Moonen joins David Akin to chat about the ground game and grassroots action in B.C.

The problem according to the Ottawa Sun is that while no one wants his carcass in their cemetery, “Under Islamic law, the body cannot be cremated, a procedure used for criminals including Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.” But surely this is multiculturalism gone mad when even if someone were, say, to set off bombs that slaughter and maim innocents then die in a gun and bomb battle with authorities, all in flagrant and deliberate defiance of our statute and our moral law, we still can’t do anything that might offend his sensibilities if he’s a non-Western “Other” type of marginalized minority person. Whereas McVeigh can just go crackle crackle whoosh and no one (including me) cares if his feelings are hurt.

Oh, and isn’t there supposed to be some question whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev was really a Muslim in good standing given what he apparently did? Or did I just hear wrong on that one?

Anyway, if someone wants to burn the body I’ve got a match.

Vancouver 24 Hours Columnist Bill Tieleman joins David Akin to discuss the issues emerging in the final stretch.
