(Flashback) Obama compares murdered American officials in Libya to his Las Vegas campaign volunteers
Daily Mail ^ | 9/13/12 | Toby Harnden

President Barack Obama compared his campaign volunteers to the American officials killed in Libya, saying that 'like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing'.

Obama's remarks came during a meeting with volunteer leaders in Las Vegas. 'And obviously [our] hearts are broken for the families but I wanted to encourage those folks at the State Department that they were making a difference,' he said, according to a pool report.

'The sacrifices that our troops and our diplomats make are obviously very different from the challenges that we face here domestically but, like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing….I’m just really proud of you.'

That night at the gym, I watched his appearance at the Vegas event, hoping that for once, he would say something that was encouraging and perhaps made sense. I wanted to know what we were going to do next. I was disgusted and appalled when he said yeah, we had a rough day today. Like someone ran over his dog, or he got a bad report from his proctologist. Why are people not turning their backs on him in droves? The polls should be murdering him right now.

Maybe after Obama heard about the fire fight he was told that the only way to respond would be to bomb the blocks around the compound — killing about 400 men.

Or maybe ordering Special Forces into a battle would have little chance of saving our guys and result in high causalities. Dead bodies produced by his order with nothing to show for it would not look good on the evening news.

Also ordering military action in the newly liberated Libya would tarnish the narrative that “Al Qadea is on the run”. Obama probably felt that a US military response would be seen as “cowboyish”.

Why risk offending the Muslim world by violating Libyan sovereignty on a mission that probably wouldn’t help?

Better to quickly come up with the video cover story and kiss the SEALS and the Ambassador goodbye. It is only four lives. The higher purpose of ensuring a second term is at stake.

“As CIC sometimes I have to ask the troops to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Do they think they’re going to live forever? Hey, maybe I can get some rounds after the fund raiser in Vegas?”
