GOP pounces after news of CIA cable on Libya raid

Romney would definitely know how to handle this. You know he 'served' in a mission during the Vietnam era? He doesn't like to boost.

Unlike this guy, who spent five or six years pulling every string except an ESCAPE to Canada...

I read this in a forum. That Romney could possibly be the only American Family with 5 generations of no military service ( of families that have been in America for 5 gens). I guess it's true if counted this way: Mitts Granpa - no, Mitt's father - no, Mitt - no, his five sons - no. That's 4 generations. The Mitts great grandfather didn't serve either.

Mitt finally returned to his homeland and promptly received another student deferment for 2 more years by enrolling at BYU. Romney's (non) military record faces new scrutiny | The Columbus Dispatch. Interestingly enough, avoiding military service seems to be a Romney family trait. Mitt’s grandfather avoided serving in WWI by going to Mexico to fight for his right to marry as many women as he wanted. Then, during the Mexican Revolution, the Romneys avoided that conflict by moving back to the U.S.

Mitt’s father George, served the country during WWII by being a lobbyist for the auto making industry. George W. Romney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. And, during the Iraq war, which Mitt supported, none of Mitt’s 5 fightin’-age sons served. Quite a record.

Well Mitt can break the tradition when he becomes Commander In Chief.

This is Obama's fault, but 9/11/01 wasn't Bush's fault.

Check.

Good...I'm happy you are able to follow along.

GOP pounces after news of CIA cable on Libya raid | General Headlines | Comcast

Sensing a moment of political vulnerability on national security, Republicans pounced Friday on disclosures that President Barack Obama's administration could have known early on that militants, not angry protesters, launched the attack on U.S. diplomats in Libya.

Within 24 hours of the deadly attack, the CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington that there were eyewitness reports that the attack was carried out by militants, officials told The Associated Press. But for days, the Obama administration blamed it on an out-of-control demonstration over an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee, led Friday's charge.

"Look around the world, turn on your TV," Ryan said in an interview with WTAQ radio in the election battleground state of Wisconsin. "And what we see in front of us is the absolute unraveling of the Obama administration's foreign policy."

Americans want to give this loser four more years, sad, very sad indeed....

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton ought to make a few heads roll over at State.

next

That inept bitch should have her head rolled.

Is threating the Secretary of State's life as serious as threating the President's life. I would hope so.

It's not so much the negligence that caused the death of two Veteran Seals and a US Ambassador although it is grounds for criminal prosecution, the problem is the insulting way the administration apologized for the 1st Amendment. The worst part of the whole scandal is the awkward way the administration tried to cover it's ass after president unleashed NATO bombers to pave the way for the muslem brotherhood to take over the God forsaken country. Wasn't Hill or Hussein aware that the jihad doesn't like us?

It is not so much that a chickenshit, er, I mean chickenhawk, presidential candidate is playing politics with a tragedy in which Americans died, oh wait, yes it is.

If he's taking responsibility why hasn't he stepped down? He's a disgrace.

He has to play nice because his puppeteers have all his documents being sequestered from public view so they can make him do as they say.

Did someone sequester your brain?

No, that would be Obama...he told us he was on hand to receive the caskets of the ambassador and the diplomatic personnel killed in Benghazi. The four Americans he let die rather than beef up their security after repeated requests...all the way back to June.

But Obama told all of us how he received the caskets off the plane before he told host Jon Stewart ON THE COMEDY CHANNEL that the killing of our Libyan ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans was "not optimal." Which seemed to piss-off the mother of one of the victims when she said..."My son is not very optimal - he is also very dead."

Nobody lied, dupes- just following what the CIA said, Pfffft.

Nobody lied, dupes- just following what the CIA said, Pfffft.

" The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S."

Obama...he told us he was on hand to receive the caskets of the ambassador and the diplomatic personnel killed in Benghazi. ...

yep, it comes with the job description...too bad Reagan didn't meet teh caskets of those he sent into harms way without sufficient instructions to protect themselves
---

Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs. In the attack on the American Marines barracks, the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, along with sixty Americans injured, representing the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.[

There was no serious retaliation for the Beirut bombing from the Americans...In retaliation for the attacks, France launched an airstrike in the Bekaa Valley against alleged Islamic Revolutionary Guards positions.

When do protestors become militants? Many times they can be one in the same, turning on a dime into attackers. Weapons are easy to come by over there and it wouldn't be that unusual to see "protestors" with weapons. It is a fine line without much of a distinction. Give it up because the distinction doesn't matter. Obama referred to acts of terror in his Benghazi speech regarless of the reason and who did it and we don't know with 100% certainty that the militants weren't also ticked off by the video which emboldened them even more.

Just that big hearted gesture of meeting the plane carrying the NOT OPTIMAL bodies of the dead diplomatic crew. I don't guess there's EVER BEEN a thoughtful gesture like that from a president. It must be a first. WOW...meeting the plane carrying his dead ambassador and the OPTIMALLY DEAD STAFF...

I just don't know how that sumbitch Obama found the time to do that. Wow!

Why is it that weapons are so easy to come by over there? Do you have a clue?
