If it wasn't an election year, Obama and his administration probably wouldn't have blamed it on a video and riot, either. Why did they, when they knew in the first hours that wasn't true what-so-ever?You do realize one of the two buildings where these former navy SEALS died was a CIA base? Did it ever cross your mind that these "lies" were for a reason so as not to disclose classified information?IMO, the decision to send in troops or not is not the real issue here. Lots of Monday morning QB decisions could've been made. Lots of Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda's here.Nobody answered the question I posed last night. You're all highly critical that Obama didn't immediately put troops on the ground to save these four Americans despite the murky details of what was actually happening. Had he made the snap judgement and gave the order and things went sour and spiraled into a Battle of Mogadishu/Blackhawk Down type situation would you guys stand behind the president and tell us that he made the right decision despite the outcome? Squidley? Surfdog? 23rdstMB? Anyone?
My bet is you'd be frothing at the mouth with an even bigger scandal to use against the president in an election year.
2. I love how you guys are suddenly looking to the CIA as a forthcoming source of public information. CIA Director Petreaus is an honorable man who I respect, but as Director of the CIA don't you think he has secrets to protect? Historically how forthcoming has the CIA been with public? Isn't the vast majority of their work done in secret? Suddenly you take everything they say as gospel when it's convenient to your political stance? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
We do know however that the attack was on a CIA installation thanks to Darrell Issa and fellow republican Congressman Chaffetz who outed classified info about it live on CSPAN during their witch hunt. Which makes you wonder, what are the odds that Petraeus and the CIA who we know for a fact were operating at the site of the attack had something to hide? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
It's the now known FACT that Americans died, Obama and Admin lied, MSM Press complied, and now Dems are hogtied.
the committee members left little doubt that one of the two compounds at which the Americans were killed, described by the administration as a “consulate” and a nearby “annex,” was a CIA base. They did this, helpfully, in a televised public hearing.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was the first to unmask the spooks. “Point of order! Point of order!” he called out as a State Department security official, seated in front of an aerial photo of the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, described the chaotic night of the attack. “We’re getting into classified issues that deal with sources and methods that would be totally inappropriate in an open forum such as this.”
A State Department official assured him that the material was “entirely unclassified” and that the photo was from a commercial satellite. “I totally object to the use of that photo,” Chaffetz continued. He went on to say that “I was told specifically while I was in Libya I could not and should not ever talk about what you’re showing here today.”
Oh and Pat Tillman says hi!
Where was your outrage when his death was lied about by our govt? I didn't hear you calling for Bush's head.

If this wasn't an election year this would not be an issue for you. You know it and I know it.

Obama Administration Replaces Top Generals Following Benghazi Disaster
October 27, 2012, 3:45 PM
General Carter Ham
The latest rumor making the rounds is that Barack Obama replaced General Carter Ham at
AFRICOM after the general made a move to help the US security officials at the Benghazi
consulate and annex. Ham was replaced by Gen. David Rodriquez on October 18.
Tiger Droppings reported:
The information I heard today was that General [Carter] Ham as head of Africom received
the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking
place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the
Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was
going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his
second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his
command.
The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham's place as the head
of Africom.
Sure enough Obama nominated Gen. David Rodriguez to replace Gen. Carter Ham as
commander of U.S. Africa Command.
The Stars and Stripes reported:
President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter
Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen.
Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
announced Thursday.
Both appointments must be confirmed by the Senate.....
Two decades-long unfunded wars going on and you're complaining about the deaths of three people
just because you can try and put blame on Obama?
Three people die every second. Three people is 0.00000001% of our population
The same a$$holes that were critical of Obama giving tactical and air support to NATO
when Qaddafi got taken down during the Arab spring are now the ones upset that Obama didn't put
boots on the ground to save 4 people that enlisted to take a job in a hostile country. Go figure.
Obama is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Is it worth risking hundreds of lives and millions of dollars for the lives of two men who VOLUNTEERED to do a job?
No
Ifall 3.0 or whatever you call me now feels the same wayifall 1.0 strikes again.
