Count the number of strategic answers Gibbs tries to present
to Chris Wallace. If you believe with
Gibbs and Obama, that an effective
diplomacy can be advanced via phones, tweets and whatever, we are all in trouble.
<<<< Update: I count 5 different strategic answers ignored by Chris Wallace, and a sixth argument that asserted Obama's task of demanding action from other countries was fully satisfied vIa phone conversations. No reason was given why Obama had not planned a single high level meeting for this week, when most world leaders will be "in town." Incredible.

We have turned the White House over to a group of immature
and very old group of children. This is
a week when the UN is in session. Obama
should be as busy as possible trying to
reel in Iran, deal with the divide in
Egypt and Libya, talk some sense into
the leaders of Syria, confer with
Chinese leaders as to our trade differential,
and advance the investigation into the murders of American in BOTH Egypt
and Libya.
Understand that face to face diplomacy gives the
participants the value of interpreting body language, an essential aspect of verbal
communication:
“Non –verbal communication is behavior other than
spoken or written communication that creates or represents meaning. In other
words, it includes facial expression, body movements, and gestures. Non verbal
communication is talking without speaking a word. It is very effective, may be
even more so than speech.” (Link)
