Yes, let's...
Oh come on now Sharon...Really? When the Iraq war started much criticism, some deserved, and some laughable. Everything from ballistic armor, to bullet proof vests were directly blamed on Bush, and why? because soldiers were dying, or getting injured because of the lack of such equipment needed in that theatre of war...Now, fast forward to this, and Obama has been in office for 4 years now, and pleads to the American people for re election for another 4 years, and the answer about the glass, or the protection of our diplomats that Obama stationed in these areas, is 'oh well, you can't expect him to micromanage this stuff"?
Are you serious? The man went to sleep during the attack, then went to Nevada, and Colorado for campaign fund raisers in the middle of this crap....Leader? Hell NO!
Myself, I think it would be common sense. Especially right after we just took out the Ruler of the Country and gave it to somebody else to run.
Yeah and I am talking about directly after an attack in June. How is your question relevant? What would it matter if it wasnt damaged at the end of the war. The Structure to the Building was damaged when they blew the gates down.
Or after you get attacked do you not assess the situation you are in?
Nice try tho.....Still falls on Hillary's azz and there is no getting round it. She is the SOS. Her Dept......Her hit!
You lost me.. Are you blaming Bush for the lack of bullet proof windows???:shock:
You do assess the situation, and they did, the only problem they saw was the gate being blown up, no other pieces were broken, so they weren't going to fix it.
Which looks like it led to 4 dead and the loss of safehouse, and still having people unaccounted for? Again thanks for validating the point on who's fault it was.
At first I thought you asked, "It's still an act of war when you kill a Democrat, yes?"It's still an act of war when you kill a Diplomat, yes?
You fix things you see no problem with?
And how would they know it would get 4 people killed? Their crystal ball?
OK.. You want to impose "freedom of speech" on every culture? I find that hysterically funny. Do you also want to impose that on Canada and Germany?
Saddle up, kiddo.
Do you fix things and tighten things up when your people's lives are at stake?
Really? So the two days warning the State Department had was nothing? Why didn't the State Department warn the Ambassadors?Ignorance for far right wingers will prevail in this conversation, in the sense it will not win the argument, but will remain the loudest rhetoric...
This is not a rebuttal, nor an invitation to conversation.
This is simply a statement of mockery of your position.
There's very little the President can do about this situation, be him (D) or (R)
Apologists apologize. And learn nothing.or Bush or Obama or Romney or Reagan, unless of course you're suggesting he order the US military to march through Middle Eastern capitals mowing down protesters by machine gun fire as they go...
Those who are reasonable among us realize this.
Those of you who are not, will not.
This is the way of things.
Nothing I, nor anyone else, with our words may convince you otherwise, that this is not the sole fault of the President of the United States, a position that requires ignorance beyond comprehension...
You should, but those who repaired it were most likely (I could be wrong) following the design of the consulate and rebuilt what needed to be the way it was leased, nothing more, nothing less.
Really? So the two days warning the State Department had was nothing? Why didn't the State Department warn the Ambassadors?
Apologists apologize. And learn nothing.

From your link.....
U.S. sources are giving conflicting accounts about whether the attack was planned before the protest and whether the attackers used the protest as a diversion.
"According to our sources, the attack was the work of roughly 20 militants, prepared for a military assault; it is rare that an RPG7 is present at a peaceful protest," Benotman said.
However, one U.S. official told CNN on Thursday that intelligence information indicated that the attack wasn’t premeditated.
U.S. intelligence officials believe that it is very unlikely that the core of al Qaeda was behind the attack, one such official said Thursday. The official did not rule out a group sympathizing with al Qaeda.
"One of the things that we've noticed over the last six or seven months is that al Qaeda in the Maghreb, northern Africa, have said they're really eager to strike northeastern targets. We've seen cells in Libya and Egypt starting to develop," U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, told CNN's "Starting Point.".....snip~
Plus we have the libyans now reporting 300 hard corp Islamist fighters. Thats 20 with RPG's!
finally watched parts of the "movie" that has caused these events and I would like to withdraw my statements yesterday when I said the American gov should do more to stop hate speech as it endangers the troops. I withdraw that statement because the video is so bad that im honestly shocked Arab Muslims are taking it seriously!
I know.. I don't think we know everything.. and may not.
Notably, the Brigades said the June 5 attack was also timed to coincide with preparations for the arrival of a senior U.S. State Department official.
“The time frame of attacks shows that the group has been following and actively involved in gathering information about the activities of diplomatic missions in the country,” Benotman wrote in a June briefing paper on the group.
He adds that it appears the Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades was also responsible for a rocket attack against the convoy of the British ambassador in Benghazi on June 11 and an attack against the Red Cross in Misrata on June 12.
Another Libyan official told CNN at the same time that five radical Islamist militant commanders were operating in the Derna area, with 200 to 300 men under their command in camps in the area. Ironically, Christopher Stephens — the U.S. ambassador killed in Tuesday’s attack — had written extensively about the rise of Salafist factions in and around Derna in a 2008 diplomatic cable.
As CNN has previously reported, one of militant commanders, according to several sources, is Abdulbasit Azuz, a long-time associate of al-Zawahiri. Azuz was dispatched by al-Zawahiri to Libya from Pakistan’s tribal areas in the spring of 2011 to create a foothold for al Qaeda in Libya, the sources say.
Azuz is a veteran jihadist who fought the Soviet-backed government in Afghanistan in the early 1990s, according to several sources. He later to moved to the United Kingdom, where he increasingly came on the radar screen of British security services for his radical recruitment efforts in Manchester.
According to one source, Azuz has dispatched men as far west as Ajdabiya and Brega in his attempt to build up al Qaeda operations in eastern Libya.
According to Libyan security sources, within the militant ranks in Derna there are 20 to 30 hardcore jihadist fighters who are cause for most concern. One source said a number of Egyptian jihadists are also present in the Derna area, as well as fighters belonging to al Qaeda’s North African affiliate, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.....snip~
Report: Attack on US embassy in Libya was planned | MyFOX8.com
And your Obama/Dem worship doesn't blind you at all. Lol.
I do think the comments immediately following the attack by both Obama and Romney were an extremely good and clear example of the differences between the two presidential candidates. In fact, I think they're a very good illustration of the difference between the parties.
I think most wouldn't.. Some might picket.. but there is always an element that gets ramped up.
Its complicated and messy.. and still dangerous. When think tanks and experts disagree, I would be most likely to believe the Ambassador..Its a real shame.
I remember visiting Marsa Brega with my father.. Sounds like its a AQ stronghold now. Pretty beaches.. There used to be a British school there. God, I hate Al Qaeda.
