Random Politics & Religion #00
Shiva.Viciousss said: » Asura.Kingnobody said: » I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of your statements, like usual. And as usual, you are failing. There is no hypocrisy. You think that the president shouldn't go to an event in response to an occurrence, an event that most world leaders were invited to attend, including the president. Your reasoning is that the event was planned in less than 48 hours. You fail to realize that another event occurred where the president did attend with planning in less than 120 hours (in reality, the event was planned with less than 72 hour notice). This happened in December 2013. The hypocrisy is that you don't believe that the president should attend an event in such short notice, but you have previously applauded him attending the event that was planned in such short notice. Did that help you at all, or should I write it in crayons next time? Do you get a special tickle comparing two things that are in no way alike?

The problem is, that regardless of if he went or not in an event planned in less than 48 hours notice, there would have been people bitching that he went into an area where known terrorists were still on the loose, or that he wasted taxpayer money in order to go on such short notice (because it costs more to attend with less time to prepare crews/bodyguards/etc.)
So now you're going to pretend the point you're making isn't actually the point you are making.

Did that help you at all, or should I write it in crayons next time? 24 hours = 1 day (assuming no one sleeps). The average time it would take to 1) Create a security detail 2) run through that detail effectively 3) create contingency plans, escape routes, etc. Will take longer than a day, much less two. 120/24= 5 (assuming no one sleeps) which is adequate time assuming the area isnt entirely hostile, etc. Then, theres assuming that the ONLY way to show ones support is to gather all the world leaders into the justice league and walk through the streets. Which its not, many world leaders didnt attend and instead decided to call and give support via condolences and other things we may not be privy to. Which in your mind, is weakness: Which many countries apparently showed weakness by doing so, not just the US. Also, the gunmen are still assumed to be at large broski, meaning (Thats right folks) the area is still under a high risk of threat. The president also then can dos what he wants cause hes the president, and he dont need no country telling him what he gon do. Cause he dos as he pleases.

Additionally, many of the world leaders who were in attendance, were already there on business of some kind already, or had high profile people there to represent them in their place.

I have to agree, that is a pretty huge leap in logic.
WE could argue whether or not he's weak or erring on the side of caution, because who seriously wants Jo Biden as President? But paying homage to the loss of lives in France would in no way be weak (unless doing so specifically for political reasons). Anyone making that kind of assumption should check themselves at the door. Offline
