From all accounts Al Queda as we knew it has been decimated. Instead of an organized terrorist group with clear leaders and structure, we now have every American hating idiot calling themselves Al Queda and blowing things us.
I'm not sure what's worse.
That doesn't change the point I was making even if it's true.
Obama had forcefully taken a position that the wot was all but near over. To have this on the eve of the election could have been devastating.
First, he went overboard in declaring any victory over terrorism. He wanted to look tough and give people a false sense of security. Also, al Qaeda wasn't running scared if they knew Obama was backing off, claiming the job was done.
Even still, we know that if there were only a handful of al Qaeda terrorist left, they would still plot and plan. Obama could have acknowledged that and called the attack what it was. It would have helped him even more had he taken a firm stand against terrorists. Sad that he didn't want to do that and instead find a scapegoat to blame. He was apologetic to Muslims and could only bash the filmmaker instead of the cold-blooded assholes who murdered the ambassador and 3 others. That alone is hard to forgive.
While refusing to admit it was a terrorist attack, he went and gave a speech where he sounded sorry that we have freedom of speech. He explained to Muslims that it was that freedom that allowed that disgusting filmmaker to create a video that greatly insulted them. The filmmaker having an anti-Muslim view was the real crime according to Obama and Hillary. I say that because they didn't have a bad word to say about anyone else, including the fictitious protesters.
We always get reminded to be careful not to insult Muslims, though Christians can get dragged through the mud and bashed mercilessly. Of course, people know the Christians won't react in the same ugly and inhumane manner as the Muslims do. I just get sick of all the apologizing to them by those taking an anti-American stance. Their reaction to insults is not justified and few are brave enough to come out and say that. Even if the attack really was caused by protesters, they should be condemned long before someone creating a video.
Murder is worse than insulting someone. Obama and Hillary need to write that 100 times on the chalkboard.
I think Obama was pandering to the Muslim world by blaming the filmmaker and bashing him while showing sympathy and understanding to the Islam religion. I don't think Obama is capable of uttering the words, "Muslim terrorist."
I think the reasons he lied go far beyond the claim of a weakened al Qaeda. He demonstrated a loyalty to Muslims by not wanting to blame them and instead blame someone who was clearly anti-Muslim.
Then there was the lack of attention to the safety of the people in Benghazi. They left the embassy to go to a safe house and yet terrorists still knew where to find them. Reeks of an inside job. At first, we heard some lefties claim that security was all up to Libya and that was later changed to them blaming Repubs when they realized that we are obligated to protect our own. Now they claim that the Libyan government is the reason we couldn't go in and rescue them. My, how the story changes as more evidence comes out. It ain't easy coming up with new stories to explain away the facts, but they are trying. They are failing at it, but trying.
The reasons for this and the real plan behind the attack have yet to be revealed and I think there is a lot to this story. We've heard some pretty damning testimony from witnesses on the ground who have no reason to lie. Was there really a plot to stage a kidnapping of the ambassador so he could be exchanged for the Blind Shiek terrorist? Was security removed in the days prior to the attack done so it would be easier for the terrorists to move in and capture the ambassador? Having security removed was sure convenient and it was the exact opposite of what Steven's was requesting. Then there was no interference during the lengthy attack and many excuses as to why they didn't. If the kidnapping was going to be staged, they obviously would not want to stop them. If true that the Marines disobeying stand down orders caused the terrorists to think they were double crossed, that would fit in with the whole story the general claimed. Those Marines were the only ones who helped and others were stopped. One general was arrested because he wanted to help, thinking it had to be a mistake being told to stand down when they could have helped. Obama replaced the general with the same guy who arrested the general. How convenient and I would guess the new guy will be quite loyal and perhaps not share what he knows about the events that day.
And where are the other survivors and why didn't anyone in the media seek them out for interviews like they would do in virtually every other case????
How many lies and coincidences does one accept before becoming suspicious?
