what is the difference between a threat and a warning, if you do nothing?

Yeah? And the subversive left was proclaiming Benghazi as a “nothing burger” and “nothing to see here”. F ‘em and prosecute treason.

The response before, during, and after the attack was shameful.

At this point, what difference does it make?

ML/NJ

Not to mention that Bengazi was another Obama/Clinton F’d up scams with treacherous nonsense going on behind the scenes.

I guess the Iraqi Shia were triggered by Trump’s tweets instead of a YouTube video this time ...

Obama response to Benghazi: It's just a reasonable reaction to an obscure youtube video so we arrested the guy who made the video. Problem solved.

Trump response to US embassy in Iraq incident: We hold you responsible and if you so much as lift a finger again we'll destroy you utterly.

Yeah, same thing.

Democrats do not comprehend the need to defend our embassies.

Actually a lot of people do not get it

Sean Hannity for instance in his spiel states Americans were killed in Benghazi.

Well not exactly. Literally, yes.

They were Americans working for the US in-country. they were there because they were working for us. They therefore require security. The ambassador is the US government representative in his/her assigned foreign country. For the locals to kill him is extremely significant some say an act of war.

This is kinda funny. I’m making the comparison myself. In one case, our people were tortured and killed. In the other, they were protected. Looks like the comparison is that one leadership utterly failed and the other utterly succeeded.

I think this should be used in the campaign by Trump supporters.

I thought the Democrats were okay with the Benghazi response?

Benghazi was a 9-11 anniversary attack and Clinton and Obama lied about that.

And unrelated filmmaker was sent to prison because of it.

So remember that you were told about the State Department Annex? Their sister agency has the Annexes, and the landlord in contry has missions abroad like an embassy or consulate. The previous ambassador was gone less than two months when the new homosexual was shoved down Lybia’s throat. I knew the former Amb and had spoken with the IMS who died there. Every body wants the danger pay at State. I loved Israel but would never bid on Arab or Muslim countries. I was always reminded to not say anything anti pali or pro Israeli when heading to assist at the AmCons J-rue.

Never trust the agency... they lie for a living. I knew that in the military before state.

That was the whole deep state point for colluding with Iraqi leaders and Iran to stage the attack.

Take the Benghazi talking point away from Trump.

Except Trump's response was perfect.

With no loss of life, deep state sad.

If it had been Benghazi, there would have been no reinforcements sent and the President would be tryin to blame it on a 2 year old You Tube Video....

Like Trump or Don’t like him... its good to have a an Alpha and not a Beta boy sitting in the chair.

In Benghazi bammy and hillary deliberately allowed their bosom buddies to kill the ambassador and 3 other Americans, and then got away with their treason.

The democrats keep trying to say the Iraq embassy attack is just like Benghazi and that is because democratic regimes are inane. If the Iraq attack occurred while Obama and Clinton were in control, it would have been just like Benghazi.

I like the action of firing flares from 3 or 4 Apache helicopters. It is like they were saying, “read between the lines assholes”...LOL. these persians realized that the next projectiles would not be flares, and they would get to see their virgins shortly. So I guess they weren’t really ready for the girls and bugged out. Had hillary been in charge, they would have attempted to overrun the Embassy.

The Obama administration did not react to the Benghazi attack because it did not want to draw attention to what it was doing there. Exporting arms to Syria. What is frightening is that their thinking and planning did not extend beyond doing nothing.
