Reactions to Terrorist Attacks: A Tale of Differences.

[Sallow]

Is this a serious thread ?

none of his threads are ever serious.

Well you could

A. Argue the points..

B. Not post.

C. Call the thread not serious.

Guess you went with C.

 

[Sallow]

The real tale is that conservatives want answers, while swallow wants to give blow jobs

Projecting again? Gay boy?

First post in the thread..and you fixated on homosexuality.

Keep it in your pants.

State Dept. Email to White House at 6:07 PM on 9/11/12: 'Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack'


The LYING LIARS and their LYING Zombie herd.

They lied and framed a poor filmmaker and blasted our freedom of speech.

Then apologized to all the middle east.

 

[Vel]

CIA Funded assets cause wars for a Republican then a Democrat President?

Where are the "differences"?

Oh yeah, only only in the false Left/Right arguments.

For the first time in history..an American Presidential Candidate uses a foreign crisis to score political points, while it's on-going.

That sets a very dangerous precedent.

Nonsense. Romney did what Obama can't seem to do until pushed. You seem to forget that Obama disavowed the embassy apology tweets after he figured out that they were going to make for bad press. And the bad precedent here is that Obama and company lying to the American public about what happened in order to make it look as if this was unpreventable.

Well..not really.

What they did was to explain that we have a different set of rules in this country. The government doesn't generate the news or films.

Which goes over many of your heads.

So Obama spent $70 million to go on Libya tv to tell them our government doesn't generate news or films?

The conservative reaction from day one to this was "How can we use this against the president?". Contrast that with 9/11 when democrats looked to Bush and said "How can we help?" the partisan bickering all but ceased and he got everything he asked for with full bipartisan support. Republicans are fucking scum when it comes to how terribly conditional their support for the CIC is in times of emergency and the really shitty thing if Romney happens to win is that he too knows he can count on democrats under the same kind of situation.

Absolutely 100% wrong. Had Obama come out immediately after the attack and said the following......

"My fellow Americans,

Today the world was witness to a crime of terror against the United States and her citizens with the unforgivable and unprovoked attack upon our consulate in Libya and the murder of American nationals and military personnel, by terrorist groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Though our immediate deployment of helicopters and special forces units were unable to arrive in time to prevent the senseless slaughter, the United States has and always will stand against the forces of evil and fight until our last breath to bring to justice those who mean to do us harm.

To the perpretrators of this act I say to you, 'it is time for you to make peace with your God as we intend to deliver you unto Him and we will not rest until that goal has been accomplished.'

Today I alerted our allies to stand ready to assist our efforts and they have pledged their support. The United States will never tolerate the murder of our citizens or attacks upon our soil.

To the families of those who have lost loved ones in this massacre, you have the sympathy and prayers of a grateful and determined nation. We will avenge your loss.

God bless the fallen and God bless the United States of America"

....then Obama would have four more years in the Oval Office secured on this very day.

Yeah, right, Democrats never used Iraq to score political points against Bush!

You are kidding us with this shit, right?

 

[bripat9643]

Well the major difference becomes:

Conservatives use such events to focus anger at foreign enemies when a President they approve of is in power, and focus anger at the President, when they don't like who's in power.

Liberals rally around the American President, no matter who is in power to get the enemy.

ROFL! Are you trying to become a comedian or something?

Yeah, liberals rallied around Johnson during the Vietnam war, didn't they? Are you seriously trying to tell us that liberals supported Bush during the Iraq war? I mean, besides for one week after 9/11.

 

[bripat9643]

Lose what?

It's not "moral superiority"..it's about government.

You guys hate government when you aren't the guys in charge. So much so, you are doing things that make it impossible to govern.

When Bush advocated for attacking Iraq, he got a good many Democratic votes. When it was shown that the intelligence that Bush was basing his cause to attack on was not only incorrect..but cherry picked..did Bush or conservatives own up to their mistake? Nope. Quite the opposite..they shared the blame.

This is making it impossible to govern this country. Because if power is not shared..it will be taken. Simple as that.

What you mean is that liberals supported Bush for a few weeks after 9/11. Then, the minute Bush suffered any reverses, they were on him like white on rice.

Selective amnesia is not a substitute for a moral code.

Flashback: Obama Doublespeak? Iraq 'Dumb War,' Libya Justified

On Oct. 2, 2002, Illinois state Sen. Obama spoke at an anti-war rally in Chicago and expressed his opposition to President George W. Bush’s planned invasion of Iraq.

Obama acknowledged that Iraq’s Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant who “butchers his own people.” But referring to the planned invasion, he declared: “I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war.

“What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.”

He also said Saddam posed “no imminent threat to the United States, or to his neighbors.”

Basically..you don't understand the difference between realtime..and past events.

Obama in 2008 Criticized Bush Foreign Policy after Afghan Attack Killed 9 Soldiers
They’re ganging up on Mitt Romney for speaking up about the attacks in Libya and Cairo today, but in 2008 Obama criticized then President Bush’s Iraq policy just after an Afghan attack left 9 Marines dead.

“….As the New York Times reported, then-Candidate Obama criticized the Bush administration on July 13, 2008, arguing “a new round of violence on Sunday, in which nine American soldiers died in fierce fighting with the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan, underscored the military challenges ahead for the United States.”
According to the transcript of an interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” Mr. Obama reiterated his talking point the next day:
You know, was it a wise thing to go in there (Iraq) and what are the costs and benefits of staying there indefinitely? We’re spending $10 billion a month there. We’ve spent $200 billion since the surge began. Meanwhile, the situation where—you know, where the central front against terrorism should be taking place, in Afghanistan, the situation has deteriorated. And we had this brazen attack on a U.S. base where nine servicemen were killed.”
Back then the media applauded Obama for his bravado.

* Obama in 2008 Criticized Bush Foreign Policy after Afghan Attack Killed 9 Soldiers*by*Macsmind – Politics, Culture and Breaking News and the 2012 Presidential Election!

Seriously? You are holding this up as some kind of equivalence? Because it's absolutely not.

Obama was criticizing a gigantic tanglefuck called the Afghan war..in which soldiers were losing their lives weekly.

Romney was criticizing a brand new terrorist attack, while it was ongoing..which was part of an effort to help a fledgling government get established, after the successful ouster of another anti-american terrorist, Mommar Gaddafi.
