Panetta decries “Monday morning quarter-backing”. We had NO Tuesday (9/11) afternoon quarter-backing.
Why didn't Clinton respond to Blackhawk Down?
Answer one you answer both.
Clinton's non response made UBL the big dog on the block in the terrorist world for defeating the Great Satan and driving them out of Somalia.
Zippo’s non response has just made the clown responsible for this attack the big dog on the block in the terrorist world.
Why all of this hand-wringing over concern of what the Libyans would think? Don’t we use Predator drones all over the world to ‘assassinate’ suspected terrorists who pose no immediate threat to Americans, even using said force in other Islamic countries? Why the hesitation to use such force during this incident? And no ‘real time info’ during a ‘war crisis situation’ is a pathetic excuse for a supposed world power with a first-class military. So we’re paralyzed without ‘pictures’?? During a self-defense situation??
The Democrats are afraid of this because it is their “Iran Contra”. They held televised hearings and talked about impeaching Reagan. And here we are, a Democrat administration caught red handed handing out weapons to real terrorists and messing around in other country’s affairs. Ollie North has to be laughing himself silly over this.
This still doesn’t explain why those at the annex were held back
from rescuing Stevens and the others at the consulate.
BULLSHIT!! Decisions are evaluated on their results, not process.
Obama, the Coward-In-Chief, made a non-decision knowing full well that sovereign U.S. territory was being attacked and Americans killed. Then he hid under his bed-covers.
Since then, Obama the Coward has sent out his mommy-surrogates to explain why it just "wasn't his fault" and that he is really a good boy who we should keep in the White House.
America really needs to flush the national toilet bowl and be rid of this piece of filth!
Carnak The Magnificent Says:
- Someone in the Obama administration will be taking a trip UNDER the Obama bus in the next few days.
- Some innocent teenage goatherder in Libya will be blown into atoms by a $100,000 drone missle in the next few days.
The administration will label him as the key figure in the Libya embassy attack.
Obama will spike that football until the polls close on election night.
This doesn't make sense. The CIA congingent from Tripoli was ordered to stand down. They launched that rescue mission against orders.
How about he lied to American people for two weeks and had an American jailed - scapegoated - supposedly for the amateur video that - supposedly, again - agitated the whole Muslim world to rioting.
The guy arrested is still in jail - and is, reportedly, scheduled to be released three days after the election. Again, supposedly he was arrested for parole violation.
I didn't know parole violations involved arrest in the middle of the night and warranted 3 months or so of immediate jail time.
Especially, when it is known that the video was not the reason things went south in Egypt, Libya and then - other countries in Middle East (once they were made aware by this administration of the videotape. In other words they became agitated after they were told about something they didn't even know about in the first place.
While too kind to Obama (IMHO) this is a great article to share with undecided voters or your Facebook libtard friends.
They have to be eased into the reality of whats going on, you can’t hit them with cries of “Obama is a TRAITOR” right off because it will only turn them off and they’ll stop listening.
Last night on Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News she had military guests on there and I think I heard one of them say something about a “request” to send support would be presented to the president and then he would “sign” it to make it happen. Did he simple IGNORE the request? I believe this is the question that needs to be asked....Mr. President, were “you presented” with a request for support during the terrorist attack in Benghazi??? Mr. President, did you dither???
” In hindsight, Obama made the wrong decision. The extent to which he should be criticized for the decision is difficult to assess because we don’t know all of the information he had at the time the decision had to be made. Perhaps the decision was a reasonable one to make at that time. But let’s keep in mind that our inability to assess this is due mainly to the administration’s unwillingness to speak about the decision and the surrounding events.”
From a military perspective this paragraph is completely wrong. The failure to make a timely decision - even one that eventually proves to be in error - is more dangerous than the consequenses of that decision. War is about aggression and the more aggressive you can be the more “the Fog of War” becomes your ally. Sit there like a deer-in-the-headlights and you are nothing but a sitting target for even the dumbest or weakest opponent.
This is why the military often seeks to brief the president and involve e them in exercises. Gets them used to the most critical aspect of leadership - the willingness to make rapid decisions with only a few verifiable facts.
He didn’t want to leave any witnesses alive.
That is the reason.
Occam’s razor.
So if this is true, wouldn't it be wise to err on the side of caution and have the rescue ready to go? Or, better still, when the consulate was requesting additional security , give it to them. If it turns out it wasn't needed fine, but if it was needed it would be there. The next point, why the song and dance about the youtube video? Why the apology film given to the afghans? Why is some guy still sitting in jail for "insulting the prophet of islam"?
Sorry, too many questions remain not only unanswered but unasked by the media. We all know that if this had happened on Bush's watch in '08 it would have been a huge campaign issue.
More BS. If not, then why was the Ambassador still there? The British and the Canadians were smart enough to pull out there people when confronted with intelligence stating a threat.
The call was placed. No one answered.
He left them to die.
I don't remember where I heard it, but not long after the attack I heard that there were 65 Marines on a US naval vessel just off the Libyan coast who could have been flown into Benghazi (sp?) by helicopters in time to save the men in our embassy. 65 US Marine fighting men vs a gang of poorly trained muzzies would have been similar to a turkey shoot with live turkeys.
Obama should be impeached for his actions, no, make that his INaction, during that span of time when those 4 far better men than him could very likely have been rescued. IMHO mere impeachment would be too little punishment for him in this situation, conviction and possibly even imprisonment would be more appropriate.
I know that would never ever happen, but I can dream can't I? Lord, how I despise that excuse for a man!
Recall what Clinton said of Obama on the decision to kill OBL
....Look, he knew what would happen. Suppose the Navy SEALs had gone in there and it hadn’t been bin Laden. Suppose they had been captured or killed, the downside would have been horrible for him.
Horrible for Obama, so close to an election!!!
Are you kidding me!!!
