>> Kadaffi wouldn’t have allowed this to happen despite being a piece of crap.
If I’m not mistaken, Gaddafi (taking advantage of the many spellings) was receiving approximately $8 billion to help control emigration to Italy.
I don’t get why he was dethroned given the apparent cooperation with the West.
Benghazi is only a day’s full speed steaming from Tripoli. There is an appropriate response to this act of war:
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev’ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job—
The United States Marines.
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Intentional.
Not even a small doubt.

8 US Marines were the rescue force? I am sure they sent plenty of muzzies to their virgins but this is an outrage.
This is a cluster and why the MSM wants to talk about Romney. This is going to get real bad for the kenyan as more details come out.
Yes. He will use this to look presidential. (Lower case ‘p’ intentionally.)
There was no aspirin factory to take out so what are four Americans?
This bad. POTUS literally asleep while the consulate personnel were under attack.
Will we get a photo of barry wearing his jammies in the situation room last night? How about a press conference? What did barry know and when did he know it, etc.
How many other consulates in the Muslim world have marine’s assigned?
A Marine Expeditionary Unit has about 2200 men, and I’d consider that a mild response to an attack on our people. Only eight Marines? Granted, they were Marines, and they were only going up against lightly trained thugs, but that’s way too little force to deal with a mob. A real leader would not worry so much about looking provocative, he would make the other side worry about looking provocative. Sadly, we’re stuck with Obama for another 130 terrible, dangerous, and destructive days.
“IMO, no foreign nationals can be trusted.”
Yup, and that includes the one resident at 1600 PA Ave...
What kind of schmuck would be out and about
on September 11 in a Muslim country ?
“I don’t get why he was dethroned given the apparent cooperation with the West.”
Ya gotta ask the islamofacist in the White Hut that question...he engaged in an unconstitutional war to out Gaddafi...
“Will we get a photo of barry wearing his jammies in the situation room last night?”
You just know his pjs have ‘President’ all over them and a big CiC decal on the back.
And a drop seat.
The protest was a cover for the hit team.
And now its a cover for a State Department and a White House that don't want to admit that it was a hit designed to commemorate 911.
A stupid you tube is just the cover story that suits the White House.
He wasn’t Muslim Brotherhood. Our current government is riddled with them.
Going in with such a light force reeks of Foggy Bottom involvement and/or a political calculation at the embassy to let the Libyans take the lead. Also reminiscent of Clinton not allowing tanks in Somalia. What a FUBAR!
