When diplomacy trumps national security


After 23 years, the US State Department publicly admits that there is more to the murder of Ambassador Cleo A. Noel, Jr.

One of the "open secrets" has been confirmed by a declassified State Department document.

Yassar Arafat ordered the death of a United States Ambassador, the US Government knew it and chose to do nothing about it.

Just like I told you here. Under ANY other circumstances and with ANY President prior to Nixon, this would have been an act of war and treated as such. Instead, Nixon laid the groundwork for decades of looking the other way when it came to radical Islamic groups and leaders.

That is the diplomacy of appeasement.

It also practically invites abuse if all sides do not play by the rules. And if one side doesn't play by the rules but is rewarded as if it did, it just invites more abuse.

Anyone else see a pattern here?

Remember this when there is pressure for the US to be more trusting.
