personally....I believe the president let 4 Americans die to protect is re-election campaign. He got Bin laden.....nothing to see here.
Just my opinion but i am in good company.
What this administration did equates to a bear minimum of involuntary manslaughter of 4 Americans.
Character Assassination on war heroes and anyone who merely wants the truth is par for the course.
You may want all of us to just shut up and make it going away but it is just not going to happen.
Stop talking...? Oh perish the thought... I want you guys to keep regurgitating your silly-assed Breitbart/FauxNews-&-Friends garbage... (Sort of reminds me of that delicious moment in the Second Debate when Obama looked at Mitt-Flop and said, "Please proceed, Governor...")
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
This is a monstrous scandal. The biggest since Watergate. Brave Americans murdered this fall in the Middle-East and our so-called president has no answers about why it happened!
Of course the fact that it happened as the president was obviously focused on running for a second term couldn't have had anything to do with it. And the White House has admitted that the news of the deadly attack also caused the president to break off from his golfing schedule. Boo-hoo!
It's a disgusting cover-up and we need to find out exactly how and why it happened!
• What did the president know and when did he know it?
• What was the Secretary of State doing?
• How come there wasn't proper security at an American compound in such a hotbed of Middle-Eastern terrorism?
• How come multiple warnings about the vulnerability of the facility were ignored? Especially after the attacks in that same area earlier this year.
• How come a CIA warning just three days before the attack was ignored?
• What role, if any, was played by the head of the CIA -- a man with plenty of war-time experience that should have helped the U.S. avoid this catastrophe?
The president has offered up platitudes: ''There are no words to properly express our outrage and, I think, the outrage of all Americans at the despicable act.'" Yeah big deal...
And the best that the vice president has said was that the U.S. "would not be cowed by terrorists."
None of that explains why security was so lax.
None of that explains why the president didn't act to prevent this.
And why he hasn't explained it all and sacked everyone whose negligence led to such a tragedy.
We need Watergate-style hearings immediately! And then this president should be impeached!
Yes... the murder of 241 U.S. Marines in their Beirut compound this October is a massive disaster. And we demand that President Reagan be held accountable and impeached!
Oh, wait... That was written in November, 1983.....
Martin Lewis, 11/15/12
FACT: 241 U.S. marines were killed in the Beirut barracks bombing on October 23rd 1983 -- as Ronald Reagan was gearing up to run for re-election in 1984. (The attack caused Reagan to cut short one of his many golfing vacations.)
FACT: The Reagan administration had been warned that the Beirut barracks was vulnerable following the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut just 6 months earlier on April 18, 1983. But nothing was done to beef up the Beirut barracks security.
FACT: The CIA under Director Bill Casey -- who got his first experience serving during World War II -- showed no leadership. And he was unable to explain why the intelligence service he headed failed the USA
FACT: The Long Commission (report published in December 1983) investigated the bombing attack and found that senior military officials were responsible for security lapses and blamed the military chain of command for the disaster. The Commander-In-Chief was not held accountable.
Neither did Obama... " You guys are going to need a bigger boat..."
On the other hand, we KNOW Bush & Condoleeza Rice LIED about the "nuclear weapons"/WMD's in Iraq that directly led to the deaths of 4,780 service men and women.
You have proof that he lied...Has Breitbart told you that yet?
Let me know when you have it.
On the other hand, we KNOW Bush & Condoleeza Rice LIED about the "nuclear weapons"/WMD's in Iraq that directly led to the deaths of 4,780 service men and women.
I think most administrations are hesitant to scream"terrorists" until they are sure that is what happened. If Obama had called this a terrorist attack before all the intelligence was in I am sure the righties would have been whining that he was using the word terrorist in the final weeks of the campaign just to get himself reelected. It's quite obvious from those on the right here that whatever Obama does will be complained about for no other reason than it came from Obama.
Based on the General's testimony today it sounds like the CIA knew it was terrorism from the outset. Tired of your President lying to you yet? Especially with that goofy you-tube crap?
Then again this is the same administration that called the Fort Hood shooting workplace violence instead of terrorism despite the shooter having contact with Yemen radicals.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
But not the same administration (Bush & Condoleeza Rice) that we KNOW LIED about the "nuclear weapons"/WMD's in Iraq that directly led to the deaths of 4,780 service men and women.
Here's my guess on all this "youtube crap": There were clearly documented demonstrations in the Arab world at U.S. Embassies as a result of the youtube video. You say it it got 400 views, but fail to document that. I show there were 320 of the videos posted youtube and views were in the millions by Sept. 11.
I'm guessing the CIA's best intel was ALL of the demonstrations were the result of the youtube video, since all but Benghazi were.. and they initially lumped Benghazi in with the rest. That's what was given to the White House. It was only later that they learned Benghazi was separate from the rest of the demonstration.
Rather than reaching a foregone conclusion without facts as the usual suspects here have done, I'll wait for the result of the hearings. It's called due process. To reach a conclusion without all the facts is just blowing smoke.
