The Buck Stops In The Oval Office

It is disgusting that the Republicans are making political hay out of this horrible incident.

The fact is that no reasonable amount of security would have stopped this attack. NO embassy or consulate in the world arms their security staff with the types of weapons that could have stopped this coordinated assault by militias armed with battle field level weapons.

If security had been increased, the only result would have been more dead Americans.

The true way that embassies and consulates are secured is by guaranteed severe retaliation against the attackers - not only by the country whose facility was attacked, but by every country in the world that participates in diplomacy.

Right now, there has been increased sentiment towards military intervention in Northern Mali. This is where the attackers most likely have taken refuge.

Once again, it is truly disgusting that Republicans have politicized this horrible incident.

When Team Obama decided to pretend it was not a terrorist attack and invented the video story, were they doing that for political reasons?
 
question

who was president when we trained and suppled osama bin laden
Who was president when Iran took hostages
who was president for beirut?
who was president for mogo?
who was president for 911

the ANSWER is BOTH parties have been in office when BAD THINGS happen.

If in fact this attack was so large and well planned that it cannot be defended against, the option is to accede to the Ambassador's request and get them OUT of there. In June, the Benghazi consulate was attacked and there was an assassination attempt on the British Ambassador. That was his last day in country. The British got their Ambassador and the entire Embassy staff out. Ambassador Stevens asked for a DC 3 to evacuate everyone. Nothing was done. His request was ignored. His request was ignored to the point where Eric Nordstrom, as the Regional Security Officer told the investigating committee that the Taliban was INSIDE the building.

once again, swift boating does not work for educated people. Please list the last 30 years of attacks against the united states, then list who was in office.

Don't be fooled by Hillary's statement. It's an attempt to put the emphasis on who knew about security, denied requests for additional, etc. and get the focus off the lie about the video and a protest to it escalating to the attack and deaths of our ambassador and three others.

Prior, she and others had blamed the video because that's what they claim early intelligence had reported. But they know there are no such reports and that magnifies the fact that Barry & Co. made up the bullshit about it in the first place because they knew the truth would put a huge spotlight on his failed Middle East policy.

If they had an intelligence report about the video and protest, we'd have seen it by now. They're still lying and obfuscating and hoping their story will change the facts. Ah, hope and change. It's a beautiful thing.

This is big news.. we all know how the media treated it. Now comes the typical blame game.

LMAO!

Well, the anointed one claimed he was different and blamed those before him as the cause of anti-American attacks.

There's no "swift boating" going on here. This administration badly mishandled the situation and got four of our people killed. And then, for political purposes, attempted to cover up their bungling. The fact that they've trotted out their operatives with this new talking point doesn't make it credible.

The cover up hasn't worked so expect an aspirin factory or it's facsimile to be toasted in the Middle East before the election.

Nothing they do it going to work. They've got a Watergate-sized scandal on their hands and even if they could somehow manage to get the guy reelected, he'd be impeached a month after inauguration day.... with removal. I hope these libs understand they're voting for Laughin' Joe. This one isn't going away.
 
Face it, the President's record on foreign policy has been excellent, so the repugs are desperately trying to make a major issue out of this horrible incident. They got NOTHING!

There was no way that any reasonable amount of security could have stopped this attack.

Secondly, there was no cover up. There was a slow accumulation of intelligence info about the attack. There was no benefit for the President to 'cover up' the fact that this had been a planned terrorist attack. The fact is that most of the U.S. personnel in the area had been killed - you can't get intelligence info from dead people. It took some time for investigation to determine exactly what happened.

I know that repugs will shamelessly try to take advantage of this politically as much as is possible - 'cause otherwise they have NOTHING to say about foreign policy.

Excellent?

That's full-out delusional.
