Sorry WE did not let them die - obama and posse LET THEM DIE and watched it happen.

WE had nothing to do with it - what an ignorant headline.

Obama let them die! Someone gave the order to stand down. I suggest we all call our congress critters today and demand answers and impeachment proceedings should Obama win or steal this election.

The sad part is that there are dozens of people who know the facts, yet not ONE (other than the leaker of the recent emails) has the decency to blow the whistle and start naming names.

Moreover, there needs to be some heads rolling over this debacle to include that clueless beatch (Lamb) who whether acting on orders or her own misguided and delusional PC assessment, REFUSED repeated request(s) to augment or even retain what security there was in Libya, as well as the Sec Def and the bottom-feeding, scumbag, Chairman of the JCS, Dempsey who has become an Obama sycophant and a political animal, while sacrificing the lives of our Military Warriors in AfGan with the ROE's he has accepted as well as refusing to order Military response to the attack in Bengazi.

SHAMEFUL!

KILLED

THEM.


---<>---<>---<>---<>---<>---

Thank you, Cowgirl, for expressing what I have held in for the last couple weeks! I refuse to take responsibility for the acts of this administration.

THEY and those who voted and apologized for this administration built this.

I wonder if BO and Jarrett just sat there in the WH and watched this killing as if it was a put-on "reality show" just for them. That is increasingly what it appears, to me.

This president refused to take action to help these men.

There were options, many options and time to execute them.

We're going to hear stories from the military in a few months that Obama refused to help. He refused to authorize the attack on Bin Laden 2, 3 or 4 times, some claim he did not authorize it at all! Did Pinetta do it on his own making Obama free from a failed mission but ready to take credit for a successful one?

This guy took an oath and has thumbed his nose at it dozens of times. Dereliction of duty! Treason!!!

The fight, we have learned in the last two days, lasted not two or six hours, but eight. For eight hours our men and women were under fire. At the end of those eight hours, apparently from some sort of explosive, the last two Americans – former Navy SEALs – lost their lives. While we did nothing.

I listened to one lady on one of the Fox shows yesterday who had worked in the past for Nixon, Ford, and Bush. I forget her name, but her words were chilling.

She pointed out that the 2 seals fought to the death on the rooftop with only a machine gun. She says they fought for hours, that the machine gun was covered in their blood, indicating they continued to fight even while wounded.

What kept them fighting? She said it was because they KNEW that reports had been sent, that there were cameras, eyes in the sky, real time understanding of their plight.

Why did they keep fighting? She said it was because they just KNEW that help was coming. They just KNEW that they wouldn't be abandoned, left behind. That was not the US way. We don't desert our guys in the field.

What they didn't count on was the cowardice and/or complicity of our president and his team.

Some General or Field grade officers some place should be ashamed of themselves for not risking those stars/birds to save those men. At a time like that to hell with it. Chuck it all, because those Seals were right: we do NOT abandon our people. We just don't.

This is far more sinister, far dirtier than Blackhawk Down. This is a national disgrace...no, it's a national betrayal.

As a retiree with 24+ years, this is why I can no longer tolerate the thought of Obama bin Laden, to quote Bob Shieffer, remaining as my president.

you are absolutely correct...

Romney, if you or your staff are monitoring this site, here is what you can do on day 1..

Fire every single flag rank officer that could have but did not...

You know, as I’ve gotten older and (I hope) wiser, I’ve come to despise a lot of what Teddy Roosevelt did - he was the first progressive President, and started us on the path that led to Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Clinton and this schmuck.

However, TR DID have a strong dislike of foreigners victimizing Americans. PERDICARIS ALIVE, OR RAISULI DEAD! He sent a squadron of warships to Morocco to ensure that Perdicaris and his step-son were released. Bathhouse Barry wouldn’t even consider doing such a thing, much less have the cajones to actually do it.

They just KNEW that they wouldn't be abandoned, left behind. That was not the US way. We don't desert our guys in the field.

Unfortunately, with *this* Pres__ent, we do.

Which is why it's so important to get it together and rally around Romney, as much as we may not like him.

Thomas Jefferson was right there is only one way to deal with people who want to kill you - you kill them first.

As someone I respect once said- the way to end these attacks is to kill the perps, then their wives, offspring, inlaws, siblings and salt the earth where they live.

Until Western/Christian nations take this war seriously (ie where everyone has skin in the game) we will continue to experience these attacks.
If we are not willing to carry the battle to our opponents we surely will perish.

In nutshell you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.

Last night on FOX KT McFarland added a detail I hadn’t heard

The bodies of the 2 former SEALS were found on the roof of the safe house a mile from the consulate, with one bloody machine gun

They died fighting, hard, with a single weapon, against hundreds of jihadists, thinking help was on the way, up until some last unimagineable realization the drone and recce aircraft overhead was simply recording their deaths

It absolutely pains me to write that we abandoned those who believed in us, believed they would not be deserted.

There is no excuse for allowing that to continue. It, too, is an issue of life, in the same way as “keeping and bear arms” is an issue of life.

We don’t betray our people in the field. We just don’t.

I prayed with, and led in Easter services with, some of our Seals on the deck of the Hercules and the Winbrown(sp) many years ago in what we called “Denver”. (Those who know know.) I led them in worship on a tarmac on Christmas eve.

None of those special operators, Army/Navy/AF/Marines, would have dreamed of leaving anyone behind. NOR would their eagles and stars.
