If the name Lara Logan sounds familiar, it might be because she's a CBS reporter ("chief foreign affairs correspondent") who specializes in Middle East coverage. She's appeared often on the CBS lineup of news shows, including the CBS Evening News, The Early Show, 60 Minutes, and Face The Nation.

She's also the woman who was sexually assaulted by a crowd of Egyptian men in February 2011 while she was covering the Arab Spring revolution in that country.

She had the courage to overcome that ordeal. She also has the courage to speak out against the obama regime, in contrast to so many others in the media.

What makes this even more remarkable is that she did so in the president's home town of Chicago.

Lara Logan, a correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes,” delivered a provocative speech to about 1,100 influentials from government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas...

Her ominous and frightening message was gleaned from years of covering our wars in the Middle East. She arrived in Chicago on the heels of her Sept. 30 report (on 60 Minutes, no less), “The Longest War.” It examined the Afghanistan conflict and exposed the perils that still confront America, 11 years after 9/11.

Eleven years later, “they” still hate us, now more than ever, Logan told the crowd. The Taliban and al-Qaida have not been vanquished, she added. They’re coming back.

“I chose this subject because, one, I can’t stand, that there is a major lie being propagated . . .”

Propagated by none other than barack and his merry band of sycophants. 

The lie is that America’s military might has tamed the Taliban.

“There is this narrative coming out of Washington for the last two years,” Logan said. It is driven in part by “Taliban apologists,” who claim “they are just the poor moderate, gentler, kinder Taliban,” she added sarcastically. “It’s such nonsense!”

She made a passionate case that our government is downplaying the strength of our enemies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as a rationale of getting us out of the longest war. We have been lulled into believing that the perils are in the past: “You’re not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight. In your arrogance, you think you write the script.”

Our enemies are writing the story, she suggests, and there’s no happy ending for us.

Logan even called for retribution for the recent terrorist killings of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other officials. The event is a harbinger of our vulnerability, she said. Logan hopes that America will “exact revenge and let the world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil. That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States will not stand by and do nothing about it.”

It's a sad day indeed when a journalist -- especially one who was born and grew up in South Africa, not this country -- has a clearer grasp on reality and more cojones than the prevaricating weasel currently befouling the White House.

On a related note, the next presidential debate, which focuses on foreign affairs, will be moderated by Bob Schieffer, longtime CBS reporter. It'll be interesting to see how he handles Logan's accusation that:

... the Obama administration (is) soft-pedaling the dangers (in the Middle East). On the heels of her “60 Minutes” report a week ago Sunday, her remarks amounted to nothing less than a frontal assault on some basic assumptions of Obama’s foreign policy...

It is almost unimaginable that Bob Schieffer, moderator of the Oct. 22 foreign policy debate, will ignore the blistering words of his colleague, or that he will not raise his network’s report that security in Libya was reduced just before the attacks there that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
