This will be a short diary because other, more eloquent, diarists have and will write much on Rmoney's blatant opportunism with his President Obama attacks even before the President actually said anything.
However, I was reading a synopsis of governmental responses to the murder of Ambassador Stevens and the stark contrast between the diplomatic and considered responses of world leaders and Rmoney is stark
President of Libya's national assembly Mohammed Magarief said:
We apologise to the United States of America and to the American people and to the whole world for what happened, and at the same time we expect the rest of the world to help us face these cowardly criminal acts.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said:
I am deeply shocked by the despicable attack. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms. I call on Libya to take all necessary measures without delay to protect the lives of all diplomats and foreign staff.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said:
The UK condemns the brutal and senseless attack. We send our condolences to the people and government of the United States and stand with them in this. These diplomats were serving not only their own country but the people of Libya and were working for the peace and stability of Libya in the future
French President Francois Hollande said
France demands that the Libyan authorities shed all possible light on these odious and unacceptable crimes, identify the culprits and bring them to justice
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti said:
We will continue to support the government of the new democratic Libya, which we are sure will spare no effort in preventing Libya's new course from being hijacked. We condemn with maximum firmness this brutal act.
German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said:
The federal government condemns in the strongest terms the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt. Such violence against diplomatic facilities can, and may, never be a means of political debate, of political action
A spokeman for the Russian foreign ministry said:
We strongly condemn any attacks on foreign diplomatic posts and their staff as terrorist acts which can have no justification
but Rmoney said:
It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathise with those who waged the attacks
even before the President said anything.
The difference between diplomacy and naked, unfettered ambition couldn't be more stark.
I do not want this despicable, greedy and mendacious man to represent me or my family abroad - ever!
