DAYTON, Ohio
On deadline for The American Spectator now, and just enough time to give a bit of news and some photos. First, here’s an account of Paul Ryan’s speech by Daniel Strauss of The Hill:
Paul Ryan delivered a blistering speech against President Obama on foreign policy Monday, saying because of the president’s policies, the Middle East looks like Tehran during the mob protests on the U.S. embassy in 1979.
Ryan, speaking in Lima, Ohio, was referencing Nov. 4, 1979, when Islamic revolutionaries in Iran attacked the U.S. embassy and took more than 50 Americans hostage. Ryan said that Obama has failed to fulfill promises to bring peace to the Middle East.
“I mean, turn on the TV and it reminds you of 1979 Tehran but they’re burning our flags in capitals all around the world. They’re storming our embassies,” Ryan said. . . .
“We’ve lost four of our diplomats. And what is the signal that our government is sending the rest of the world? We’re being equivocal on our values, we’re being slow to speak up for individual rights, for human rights, for democracy. We’re seeing countries stifle freedom in Iran, in Russia, and all these other areas. And we’re saying we’re going to gut our military — that projects weakness.”
