Interesting point about the 30+ people who were there. Where are they? I read somewhere that some of them were in the hospital, but that was weeks ago. Isn’t there some way to find out who they are and where they are? I am amazed that we have heard not a word from any of them. Nothing to support finding out about the killings of the men who saved their lives. WHERE ARE THEY?

If they were CIA, I’m guessing they can’t come forward because a) it might endanger other work going on in the area (the exposure of their ties to the Agency might endanger locals working with them, etc.), b) they aren’t allowed to talk openly about anything like that anyway, and c) since such a small group has firsthand knowledge of what went down, it would be pretty easy for the powers-that-be to identify who leaked the info and mete out punishment accordingly. Also, I doubt members of the press are pushing for any of those people to come forward–and given the rabid pro-Obama stance of most journalists these days, I don’t think most of them could be trusted not to “out” any members of the group who might try to comment anonymously on what happened. (Most of this probably applies to any who weren’t CIA, too.)

But…I would think it would be awfully hard for those inside their circle who know the truth to think about how readily their friends/colleagues were abandoned by the administration. Maybe we’ll eventually see secondhand leaks of info or other kinds of helpful leaks that might ensure something like this never happens again. Or maybe someone will go straight to certain members of Congress–and we won’t know that they’ve been talking until someone from some congressman’s office leaks a few details.

11/67

Eleven out of sixty seven counties in Pennsylvania went for President Obama but he won the state.

Just curious-what are you Leftist Kids going to do in 2017 when O’bamna leaves office?

If the GOP keep bringing impeachment votes, they have to win one eventually.

R U sure our leader has that long a shelf life?

Everyone

When the media was racist they kept the best people out of some jobs.

Now with their political correctness they are…wait a minute..

The addition of victim politics is just another facet of the phony nature of the “leader’s image” in a democracy with a mass media.

Do you think the media and pop culture fed that idea and reinforced it?

Mrs. Clinton didn’t push this misleading narrative in public as enthusiastically as Ms. Rice.

Excuse me? She blamed the video in the little “eulogy” she delivered over the four coffins of our dead compatriots at Andrews AFB. She also made a video apology blaming the video for broadcast to the Muslim world, to the tune of $70,000 of our dollars.

Despicable.

They really aren’t bright people, are they?

Dear Leader, who won a record (at the time) 70% of the high school dropout vote in 2008, got even more of them this year. 82% in PA to be exact, 80% in Florida, and 73% of them in NV (CNN).

Yup! That is how democracy works my friend. You write off a majority of Americans as moochers, they will write you off by not voting for you. Sucks to be a Romney supporter doesn’t?

Reminds me of the Churchill anecdote when a lady accused him of being drunk in public. Well us Romney supporters will be sober in the morning, but you Liberals will always be ugly, mooching, free stuffers, sexually perveted, lonely unhappy people who deny the American spirit for a communist ideal.

Something like that, but you get the point.
Permanent decline.

The fact that Hillary still looks like a viable presidential candidate and Rice a potential top diplomat is rather stunning, in context.

.
Well duh ?
Have you not learned how the this game is played?
What did you not learn from fast n furious?
Are you really that naive to think there is any way this will be allowed to touch Ozero or Clinton 4?
You waiting for Holder to investigate or something……..?

There is no decency. There is only power.
And they have all of it, and a media who will cover it all up.

…and no apparent regard for the consequences of leaving a power vacuum in a region where terrorist networks already had a toehold. Not only did Obama initiate the decapitation strategy against the Qaddafi regime, Obama bailed out of it early, was late to recognize a government in Triploi, and then refused to use American resources to help secure the country against the militias.

Look, it isn’t that hard to understand. Egypt and Libya were run by despots who were cooperating with us and advancing our interests. Obama wanted to END our influence in the region. He DOESN’T CARE who replaces those despots, because ALL of them are anti-American.

Mission accomplished. All it cost him was four American lives, and the media is covering for him on that issue.

The big Oaf didn’t look like a viable candidate either, but a little more than 50 million Americans voted for him. That tells me Hillary is a shoe in for the nominee and Rice will be rewarded with the SOS post. Expect other nations to take full advantage of our lack of leadership and utter incompetence over the next 4 years.

Good times…Good times. :)

Did you see the weak “response” the pro-bin Laden troll left you in the other thread? Pathetic!

Methinks there’s going to be some massive OWS (O’bamna Withdrawal Syndrome). Probably see folks jumping off bridges and out of windows…

Del Dolemonte on November 17, 2012 at 4:45 PM

You just have to get used to whining for another 4 years.

Or the 59 million that did not???Because the 59 million who voted for Romney – don’t count in dear leaders eyes……redguy on November 17, 2012 at 2:46 PM

You leftists really don’t do math very well, do you?

47% is not a majority…even when votes from the dead are counted.

You’re president. You’re facing an election battle. You get news that the consulate in Benghazi is under attack, and you know the people there (30+ ?) have almost no security force to repel the attack. You have no way of knowing that only 4 members of the total group will die (and, indeed, you go to sleep before you hear the outcome of the attack…but that’s a rant for another day…).

What could make potentially having to explain the brutal massacre of 30 or so Americans in Libya–including an ambassador–a more acceptable outcome than having to explain that a rescue attempt to save the 30 or so failed? Why would you risk–with an election right around the corner–doing absolutely nothing to save those people? (Assuming the absolute worst about Obama’s character and competence, a hard-hearted and/or negligent commander-in-chief would still, I think, be sufficiently motivated by public perception to do something and not just rely on a cover-up.)

The cover-up mess is fantastically bizarre and unsettling–and that’s even before a Clinton has tried to explain the lies. But given that nothing was done to help the people and that requests for additional security before the attack were basically ignored, the motivation behind the cover-up is understandable–unless the reasons for doing nothing were incredibly strong (but I’m guessing they weren’t or else there would have been no reason for such a ridiculous and politically damaging cover-up)…or…unless those incredibly strong reasons–reasons that outweighed the value of 30 or so American lives–mostly involved hiding something which, if it was found out, would lead to something worse than losing an election.

I saw that earlier. I love it, the guy has guts! Me thinks he will get lots of backlash on that? The gun owners won’t it will be the ones who want to ban guns?

As a nation we are becoming a sarcasm, a burlesque, nothing but a joke.

Haha.

I say we go for the trifecta. I know in my heart that Scooter was watching it go down in real time in the Situation Room.
