That's not making it any better
Last week the Obama Administration turned its back on France and the rest of the world. Sure, it was just a photo op; a phony display of unity and resolve in response to Islamist terror. The US should have been represented. But we weren't. Even though the French haven't always been strong supporters in our war against Islamist terror organizations, we should have made some gesture of support. Any gesture.
Well, any gesture except a creepy, transparent attempt at damage control. A week late and several million dollars short. If this is the attempt to apologize then the Administration shouldn't have bothered. More detached ineptitude would have been preferable to this goat rope.
If we appeared to turn our back on our allies before, this was turning our back, taking a squat and dropping a deuce on them. This was embarrassing for the United States and insulting to France and the rest of Europe. Good luck getting any cooperation from them for the next two years.
