I personally think they are emboldened enough that we are going to get hit at home again .... and hard. I have no faith in Obama to protect Americans or America itself. People can say what they will about 'W', but when 9-11 happened, one of the things that kept me calm (& for about 5 minutes after I heard the Pentagon was hit, I was anything but calm) was that I KNEW he would be a leader & as CIC, handle it. I certainly don't feel the same way today .... and I don't have confidence in the military leadership I had then either, based on statements like those just made that we are commenting on.
Every American overseas had better factor this in. We cannot, and will not (based on POTUS not being willing to grant CBA while it mattered) come to the rescue of a besieged outpost.
This is just a shocking revelation.
Think about it: The U.S. ambassador is MISSING and must be presumed to be in Al-Qaeda hands, perhaps he will show up on a Nick Berg/Dan Pearl beheading video. That must be the working assumption while he is missing. This is "crisis-level infinity" for a president.
And Obama refused to grant cross-border authority in the time window when rescue forces could have gotten to Behghazi! (Either from Spain or Croatia.)
The entire time until every American was out of Benghazi, (including the ambassador---dead or alive), the president should have been sending every military asset from armed jets on down to Benghazi on frigging afterburners.
And he didn't. He dithered. Even with a missing ambassador in AQtown.
It still comes down to Obama NOT GRANTING CROSS-BORDER AUTHORITY while it mattered. To me, if this is not treason, what is it?
Our enemies must be in shock and awe at this revelation. Simply stunning.
