Yep. I don't understand the righties who are so upset with Obama's foreign policy, other than Israel, it is pretty close to "W"'s.
BTW, sounds like the head of security for the US embassy in Yemen was just killed.
Maybe time to step up drone attacks on the terrorist kingpins in both Yemen and Libya? Or a couple quiet nightly visits from Seal Team 6? I am sure they wouldn't mind putting a couple more notches on their barrels.

It wasn't about money it was all about "political capitol"
No the lack of security is the Republicans fault? Where was the outrage then anytime before this attack? Is the State Dept. so inept that if they don't have funding for ambassador securiy, they just leave these people swing in the wind on their own? Why not pull them out if they knew it was dangerous? I don't remember the woman's name or her position, but she said there was the right amount of security on 9/11... so which is it? And why did they use the video as an excuse if the State Dept knew it was a terrorist attack on day one? These moronns keep digging a bigger hole and are hoping it fills in without burying them. And so many of you are concerned about Romney lying when this administration is lying RIGHT NOW to your faces and you just look the other way. Pretty sad.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Still waiting to hear what intel lead Susan Rice to say "in fact the attack was spawned by a Youtube video".
Who can show me where she got that "fact". This administration is either highly incompitent, or they've been caught in a snowball of lies... there is no third option.

Copied from Kevin Wale. Except for spelling Libya wrong, he makes a very strong case.
This has been a scary couple of days for our nation. We are in a midst of a scandal that makes Watergate look like a family squabble, and the media is not "Desperate to get to the bottom of this!!!"? Yesterday the State Department called a phone conference with ALL the major media news sources EXCEPT Fox News. This NEVER happens. They told the media in this call that the State Department NEVER had any evidence that a video had ANYTHING to do with the events in Egypt, Libia, Tunisia, etc. etc. etc. Their intel ALWAYS showed that it was a preconceived terrorist attack to coincide with the 911 anniversary. This was shown to be true as the President of Libia responded to all the talk of the video by saying it was ludicrous to say that it was that video when it was obviously not the video, and obviously a coordinated attack. Yet, President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and UN Ambassador Susan Rice kept insisting that it was the video. By the time they finally admitted that it was never the video, their excuse became that it was "bad intel." Yet, the State Department said that it never released any such intel that the video had anything to do with it. They said from the beginning to the President, Sec. of State, and UN Ambassador that it was a coordinated attack. In fact, while President went to bed that night (of which he referred to hearing how bad it was after he woke up,) he already had been told it was a coordinated attack, and had been warned days ahead already.
The Ambassador to Libia (you know, the poor dead guy who the Obama administration is using to cover up its horrible foreign policy decisions) asked for protection. He was not only denied that request, he was sent into the very hotbed he wanted to avoid. And our government knew it was going to happen. That is right, at this moment, based on State department testimony, he was essentially sent in to die. The Navy Seals that heard about it and went in to help, oh well... as long as it looks like an accident.
Now get this, as the day goes on, the State Department, after having thrown the President, Sec. of State, and UN Ambassador under the bus, began to try and cover for them again by saying things like "Oh, they wouldn't have known... its the natural thing they would have come out and said." WHAT!!!!!!????? No intel speaking of a video at all, previous warning of a planned attack, and they couldn't have known they were lying about a video that wasn't on any radar anywhere that had anything to do with attacking the US?
So, this administration has covered up Solyndra, Fast and Furious (which resulted in dozens of innocent Mexican civilian deaths and a Government Agent's death,) and now an international terrorist attack that our government sent a helpless Government employee and US Citizen straight into. The election is irrelevant. The President should be impeached, and his entire staff fired and all tried for treason. And people are worried about flipping Big Bird????!!!! This is absolue insanity... even the most liberal biased and fiction spewing CNBC is getting fed up with this Big Bird crap. CNBC asked the Obama campaign chief if babbling on about Big Bird didn't show a lack of any real substance to talk about such as how they'll create jobs, etc. and the guy said he feels the Big Bird angle is perfectly valid. The CNBC reporter was livid and couldn't believe that was his answer. He CURSED on the air at how ridiculous it is to be focussing on Big Bird when the American people are worried about Terrorist attacks and finding jobs.
This isn't new... Nightline ABC News was started because NO ONE else would report the truth on the Iran Hostage Crisis. If this was a Republican Administration, this would be interrupting all your favorite tv shows with breaking news on the horrible awful events and nasty coverup of the administration. The hearings are not on the CNN home page, CNBC home page, or ABC news... I had to go through all of those and finally saw news on it at CBS News. Yeah, it's that scary. You see, the Muslim Brotherhood is not the friendly Mom n Pop organization that James Clapper said it was (Largely secular [my foot], nonviolent [my foot]). Funny that Clapper is also the guy receiving all this intel being discussed ins't
If by "being more like Bush's" you mean looking the other way while they continue to build more settlements in territories that supposedly have been ceded to the Palestinians, ...Yeah.. that will help...

Off-topic, I don't really understand why Israel is having to expand settlements. They are losing population to emigration. Only explanation I can find is that people are living longer there like in the US.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
It is NOT "off-topic", since you drug the topic into "Support for Israel"... Mittens hasn't got a clue... And the only way he knows what to think is to put together a focus group and see what "tests well", and then go with that. Works great in a boardroom... In foreign policy?...Not so much..
