Obamacare
It wasn't a 'failure' - the deaths of these brave men - outnumber 10 to 1 was a choice. A choice remade repeatedly over a period of almost seven hours. Every few minutes someone turned to the person beside them and asked...
Is someone at the White House ‘in’ to snuff films?
No help was sent because our muslim -in -chief didn’t want to offend the muslims that were killing our ambassador OR those muslims who were responsible for protecting that embassy.
How convenient for Obama that all those gay people who knew him are so dead.
This was an act of war.
The US military should be in full possession of Libyan oil assets and the Libyan infrastructure, such as it is, should be smoldering.
This is treason, plain and simple.
The Kenyan anti-Christ has committed [another] act of treason.
Losing an election should be the smallest and first punishment meted out to this minion of Satan.
It should end with criminal prosecution resulting in the normal punishment for high treason.
Why am I skeptical that justice will not be served against this vile monster?
I love criticizing Obama wherever plausible, but I think he and Hillary blew it long before the Benghazi attack began.
Once the attack started, we had no reasonable military options. We faced a very confused, nighttime situation, with uncertain intel, against a foe of unknown strength that habitually uses one incident to bait ambushes. The status and exact whereabouts of Americans and staff were unknown. Whether the consulate “guards” were conducting the assault, resisting it, or just trying to survive was unknown.
Shelling and strafing from an AC-130, or launching Hellfire missiles from a drone are great options for killing everyone in the area. That includes the U.S. Ambassador and all friendlies. Sending U.S. troops into this situation would likely end up with downed helicopters, dead soldiers, and executed diplomats. I do not blame any commander for eschewing some desperate, ad hoc adventure, even if brave men were ready to try. The odds of this ending well were almost nil.
Obama, Hillary, et al., failed long before the attack, when they ignored warnings and intel, when they did not either approve adequate security, or keep personnel out of unprotectable areas (perhaps they considered these folks “expendable”). They failed when they forgot what 9/11 means to the Islamists, that we are in a war against Islamic extremists that we cannot win by unilateral happy thoughts on one hand while we hunt down and kill Al Qaeda leaders on the other. Who’d a thunk they would try to reciprocate, or disrupt U.S. influence in Libya?
