Obama's Iran-Contra

[PoliticalChic]

Didn't Romney say he'd be doing the same, only more?

1. “Islamist extremists are able to attack the Red Cross with relative impunity,” Stevens cabled. “What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity, but rather targeted and discriminate attacks.” His final comment on the two-page document was: “Attackers are unlikely to be deterred until authorities are at least as capable.”
• By September 4, Stevens’s aides were reporting back to Washington on the “strong revolutionary and Islamist sentiment” in the city.

So....what the heck was so very important that in the face risks that included "attempted assassination of the British ambassador....".he stayed...?http://www.news-leader.com/article/...n-Parker?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|opinions|p


His relationships were with the rebels...the radicals.....does this shed any light on his role? On Obama's plans for the Middle East?

a. How about this:
"Around 8:30 p.m.
Stevens finishes his final meeting of the day and escorts a Turkish diplomat outside the main entrance of the consulate. The situation is calm. There are no protests."

What was his role???
What did the Obama administration have him doing that involved Turkish officials and jihadi radicals???



2. After returning to Washington to work for a time, Stevens went back to Libya to help try to rebuild U.S. relations with Moammar Gadhafi's regime. Then, in 2011, as Libyans began to take up arms against the dictator, Clinton tapped him for another role.
"In the early days of the Libyan revolution, I asked Chris to be our envoy to the rebel opposition," Clinton said. "He arrived on a cargo ship in the port of Benghazi and began building our relationships with Libya's revolutionaries."

And...if his role was so important....why couldn't be spotllighted....with enough marines to protect the mission?

Was it some secret mission, which couldn't be allowed to come to light??

....some less than scrupulous endeavor, about which Obama could be more 'flexible' after the election?



3. No doubt that was one reason he made a point, as ambassador, of continuing to visit Benghazi, the East’s largest city, despite the clear risks; there had been attacks on other high-level diplomats there in the previous months. It is a mystery at this point why the consulate compound was so lightly fortified, but I would not be surprised if Mr. Stevens had decided to stay overnight in Benghazi simply because his list of planned meetings with Libyans there was too long to be accomplished in one afternoon.

More than just the timeline and refusal to provide security....Obama officials need to say what was going on at that out-of-the-way nondescript "mission."

Did you read the OP, konny?

If so......would you mind providing a link to the Romney promise to "support the insurgencies in the Middle East," and to arm "Islamic fighters from North Africa and Libya and jihadists."

Is it your opinion that it would be wise, as a matter of foreign policy, to arm " al-Qaida jihadists"?

Certainly, President Obama doesn't....he has run a re-election campaign based on decimating the same people......or has he?

That's why the OP is timely, and why thinking people should pay attention to what has been going on.

Did you listen to Romney? What does "more" mean? He certainly wasn't specific. If we're to replace Obama, we should know what we're in for. Of course there's no link to what Romney intends to do, because he never says. Obama certainly doesn't intend to support jihadist, but we don't have a clue as to what Romney would do. He's likely to pull a Reagan and arm them the hilt, like in Afghanistan, and then leave them to their own devices. Is THAT what you really want? You should really think this through before posting .

"Obama certainly doesn't intend to support jihadist,..."

That's exactly what Steven's mission was doing in Benghazi.

Are you implying, or saying outright for that matter, that Chris Stevens was nothing more than an accomplice to anti-American terrorism,

and, at some level, probably deserved to die? And we should consider ourselves better off with him gone?

So that I may address you correctly....are you certifiable or merely malevolent?


Truly, it is long since your IQ attained the level of room temperature....but...

....possibly, I should allow you the benefit of the doubt, and you didn't read the post just above yours.


Read it.

The 'annexe' to the U.S. consulate in Benghazi which was attacked by militants last month was a CIA building, it has been revealed.
The intelligence base, which has previously been described only as a 'safe house', was the building which two Navy SEALs were defending when they died in the terrorist raid.

what does any of this have to do with kon asking what Romney would do?
I also notice you used an Opinion piece to try to back up your opinion.
You really have nothing

Mitt Romney: arm the Syrian rebels

Republican presidential candidate is to call for an escalation of the conflict in Syria in a major foreign policy address


Mitt Romney will call for an escalation of the conflict in Syria by arming rebels with the heavy weapons needed to confront president Bashar al-Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.

Romney is to make the proposal on Monday in what his campaign team has billed as a major foreign policy speech in Lexington, Virginia.

In extracts published in advance, he opened up the prospect, if he becomes president, of a US-Iranian proxy war being fought in Syria.

"Iran is sending arms to Assad because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them. We should be working no less vigorously with our international partners to support the many Syrians who would deliver that defeat to Iran – rather than sitting on the sidelines," he said.

Case closed...

...well, except for the part of the case where Old Grandmother comes back into the thread and rattles off a few smart remarks -

or what apparently pass for smart remarks in the vast intellectually starved wasteland that is her habitat -

and tries to make us believe they represent a rebuttal.

I know you can't comprehend this, but conservatives can think for themselves. We can disagree with Romney on this...and I do, assuming the Guardian is telling us the whole story lmao.

You, however, are incapable of disagreeing with Obama.

But tell us again how intelligent you are. It's amusing.
