This is what happens when a country is poorly managed regarding its finances as well as politics, it becomes weak, also in the in the eyes of its opponents and allows them to step in and dictate their terms. Probably some one who had the ability and was willing to back up its threat told us “Don’t go there unless there will be hell to pay” So like an obedient dog with its tail between his legs we turned a one-eighty and let these bastards kill our ambassador.
O. may not be the brightest but I believe he is not down right stupid either and probably after he and Panetta just about chewed off their fingernails concluded that this threat was no bluff and decided to let them have our ambassador. On the other hand, had O. given it a GO his re-election would have been almost guarantied. So for a narcissist like him, something or some one left a lasting impression and made a believer out of him and a fool of our once great nation. These are the results of unbridled socialism coming home to roost and unless some drastic changes are implemented this was just a taste of what is to come.
Well this is just my take
““Don’t go there unless there will be hell to pay” So like an obedient dog with its tail between his legs we turned a one-eighty and let these bastards kill our ambassador.”
OK, so what if this was a black mail.
“Look Mr President. We have MANPADS in position and ready to fire. Either you let us have Kadafi’s weapons and don’t try to stop us or we will start shooting down passenger airliners. We will shoot down fifteen within the day of an counter attack.”
Massive downed passenger jets with 100s of people dead would not make Obama look good right before the election.
