Two marines had to die b/c Obama is an idiot

[Synthaholic]

We have a consulate in Libya. It's among Islam extremists so by definition it is a dangerous place to be. And Obama had just two marines guarding the place? They were killed trying to defend the place Rambo style. Thanks for looking out for our brave men Odumba.

Are you ******* serious? please tell me you are joking.

He's serious, even though everything he posts is a joke.

Speaking of UBL, the crowds were chanting his name in the protest.

So let's see, they are pissed off about UBL dying and Obamination loves bragging about killing UBL himself.

Then the next day Obamination tells us not to piss off the muslims....

What Obama policies promote this kind of attack?

The fact that everyone knows he is a spineless liberal. They all know he is just like Carter.

I guess Osama bin Laden never got that GOP talking points memo.

 

[Bfgrn]

This is what happens when we elect a shitbag spineless liberal as President.

Same shit happened in Saudi with the Khobar towers. The commander was demanding more security and wanted to put in big concrete barriers along the street, but the B.J. Clinton administration denied him over and over, citing that such large barries would alienate the locals. So then terrorists parked a tanker next to the chain link fense and blew it up. 19 airmen died, many more would had if the security forces didn't spot them and start evacuating.

There is no excuse for not having our embassies well protected on 9/11. Anyone with half a brain would know that the barbarian Muslims are going to protest and riot on that day.

Reagan? And the barracks bombing in Lebanon for which Reagan took no action?

Yea, Obama should stand up to terrorists, like Ronbo Reagan!!!

1983 Beirut barracks bombing (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon)

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 Navy personnel and three Army 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.

Response

U.S. President Ronald Reagan called the attack a "despicable act" and pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon.

There was no serious retaliation for the Beirut bombing from the Americans, besides a few shellings. In December 1983, U.S. aircraft from the USS John F. Kennedy and USS Independence battle groups attacked Syrian targets in Lebanon, but this was ostensibly in response to Syrian missile attacks on American warplanes.

Multi-service ground-support units were withdrawn from Beirut after the attack on the Marine barracks due to retaliatory threats.

In the meantime, the attack boosted the prestige and growth of the Shi'ite organization Hezbollah.

Oh, now I understand. Clinton is to blame because he didn't kill bin Laden, and Obama is to blame because he did.

Thanks for that...

 

[GoneBezerk]

It figures your pea-sized brain can't figure it out.

Obamination goes around telling us to quit offending muslims to stop the violence, but then he spikes the football over killing UBL. "Bin Laden is dead, GM is alive" I'm sure is seen over in islamofascist land.

Don't act like some film pisses them off and bragging about killing UBL doesn't.

So dumbfuck, why were those crowds chanting UBL's name????

I don't know if I'd quite thought of it like that. Yea, we, the great unwashed weren't allowed to see the picture of the dead Osama that was paid for with our sons and daughters blood. The reason given__ it could incite the Muslim world. Yet, Obama can't stop bragging about how he killed him.

******* Despicable.

What marines are you talking about?

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

I'm guessing you have little familiarity with the story. Two marines were killed while trying to defend the Libyan Consulate.

Nevermind. What a shameful piece of shit you are.

A former Navy SEAL with specialist sniper and medical training has been named as one of the two U.S. security officials who died in a deadly attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya on Tuesday night.

Glen Doherty, from Winchester, Massachusetts, was killed while seeking cover from gunfire in Benghazi in an attack that claimed the lives of three other Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

Doherty, 42, who was active in a group that fights against religious proselytising in the U.S. army, was working for a private company providing security when he died, his sister, Kate Quigley, said.

'He was on security detail and he was protecting the ambassador and also helping the wounded' when he was killed, she told the Boston Globe.

[GoneBezerk]

Let's draw a diagram about how Obamination has fucked all this up....

First, he goes around telling the muslim world we haven't been nice to them, our foreign policy has created these terrorists that have been killing people going back to the 1960s-70s.

He tells us to quit pissing off muslims with these crazy films that most Americans have nothing to do with, then he stands on the podium bragging about how HE KILLED UBL HIMSELF.

He supports the Arab Spring in Egypt and Libya by throwing our ally Mubarak under the bus for the terrorists and by letting the Europeans take too long killing Qaddafi creating a vaccum the terrorists rushed into to fill.

Then he sends DoS people to Libya, even having "2" Embassies in such a dangerous country. The security is mostly done by local Libyans that could have terrorist ties.

Wallah.....terrorists overrun the Embassy and kill the staff. It must be Bush's fault.

Then you should be all over Bush, he created more terrorists with his policies and rhetoric than Obama. By FAR.

I'm Still Tortured by What I Saw in Iraq

I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq. The large majority of suicide bombings in Iraq are still carried out by these foreigners. They are also involved in most of the attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq. It's no exaggeration to say that at least half of our losses and casualties in that country have come at the hands of foreigners who joined the fray because of our program of detainee abuse. The number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. How anyone can say that torture keeps Americans safe is beyond me -- unless you don't count American soldiers as Americans.

Matthew Alexander has spent eighteen years in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserves. An “investigator turned interrogator,” he deployed to Iraq in 2006, where he led the interrogations team that located Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaida in Iraq, who was killed by Coalition Forces. Alexander was awarded the Bronze Star for his achievements.

 

[SillyWabbit]

Well, Libya is a shit hole, rife with folks wishing to rip our spine from our still living body, and it was September 11, so maybe someone shoulda, kinda, well, maybe put out an order for just a few more guns on watch? Maybe? Ya think?

But, what do you think would've happened if, let's say, these scumbags rushed an embassy and got their brains blown out? It's already a shit storm--and it's our people dead and still in harm's way. On the one hand, better dead scumbags than dead marines and ambassador, on the other hand?

What a piece of shit you are. I haven't refuted any facts that you listed idiot. How about you know my claims__ oh wait, you don't need to b/c you're hellbent on inciting anyhow. Idiot; at least learn how to mask your bull shit a little better or you'll be down on Del's trolling level

 

[jknowgood]

.

Yeah, this is the first time we've had problems in the Middle East. The first time we've been attacked. It must be Obama's fault.

God damn. Maybe if we didn't have our military in every ******* nook and cranny of their sand they wouldn't be quite so ******* cranky. Maybe if we stopped meddling in the affairs of other countries they wouldn't ******* hate us quite so much.

We occupy their countries, shove our ******* guns in their nose, apologize blankly when their innocents are killed, all in the name of "American Exceptionalism" and we wonder why they get a little angry.

This is madness. Get the **** out of there. They can blow each other up just fine, if that's what they want.

typical liberal mindset, it's america's fault. Always.

 

[auditor0007]

I want to be fair to you here, so I have a question for you. Do you blame Reagan for gross negligence in the deaths of 220 Marines and 21 other service members in Lebanon in 1983? That was gross negligence that led to the deaths of 241 American citizens. Do you think Reagan should have been re-elected after such a miserable failure?

So, should I be surprised that you had no response? I guess I'll wait until tomorrow to give you a bit more time.

Honestly, I zoned you out as soon as I saw Reagan in regards to a 2012 current affairs matter. Go spin somewhere else is my response. I'm weighing Obama's fatal negligence as it is of the utmost importance and I have little to no interest in devolving this thread into the typical conservative vs. liberal nonsense. If that's what this was about, I wouldn't have spent three ******* pages cussing Gramps (a hardcore conservative) out.

I knew you wouldn't answer the question, because it is evident your rant has nothing to do with who should be held accountable and everything to do with your hatred of Obama. Based on your rant, you should crucify Reagan for his allowing 241 American citizens to be slaughtered in Lebanon. He knew how dangerous the situation was and he didn't see to it that they were adequately protected. The argument is the same you are using against Obama, yet you take a pass because you are a hypocrite.

No__ first off I don't feel totally qualified to comment on 1983 Lebanon w/o re-educating myself. Second off, it is shameless spin as I noted. And lastly, none of this changes how I feel about Obama leaving govt workers so helpless against the heathen. Nor does it change the fact that he didn't have agreed upon adequate protection from the Libyan government or other international entitities. It is gross negligence. How about you regard the present instead of searching the past fore diversions? Can you do that? Will you do that?

 

[Listening]

This is a cluster.

Obama's tactical mistakes in the mideast set the stage for these killings.

Sorry folks...that's the way it is.

Now the left can go screw themselves.

Romney should ram this right up Joe Bidens ass.
