Former Navy Seal says murder of our Ambassador and other Americans in Libya is a global catastrophe for Americans who are now seen as weak and vulnerable

Current "American weakness" was even mentioned on a recent Al Qaeda tape:

 9/26/12, "O’s missing word: ‘terror’," NY Post, Goodwin

"The head of al Qaeda released a videotape urging that murder and others during what he called a time of “American weakness.”"

9/25/12, "Former Navy SEALs to Obama: 'We Are Not Bumps in the Road'," Breitbart, Joel B. Pollak

"Former SEAL and current Montana State Senator Ryan Zinke issued the following statement:

The President refuses to admit that his policy of appeasement and apology has failed.  The murder of our Ambassador and two former Navy SEALs is more than a "bump in the road," it is a global catastrophe where America is seen as being weak and vulnerable by our enemies. This President has failed to establish a red line for Iran's nuclear ambitions and has failed to recognize the scale and implications of the attacks against us. Reagan had it right: don't negotiate with terrorists and recognize the clear and present danger of not being willing to act or lead from the front.

Zinke has been a frequent critic of President Obama's foreign policy, and started a super PAC, Special Operations for America, that has released ads to that effect, including an ad highlighting Obama's bows to foreign monarchs.

Beyond the political debate, however, Navy SEALs are also a close-knit brotherhood, and do not take kindly to disrespect when lives are lost. President Obama's "bumps in the road" comment is particularly chafing because of the credit he has taken for the success of the SEALs in the raid against Osama bin Laden. 

They are heroes when they return, and heroes when they fall--not just when it is politically convenient for those in power."
