The people I have heard talking about this thing say that a successful operation could have proved that the US, is indeed, pretty weak when they can't even protect ambassadors. A successful operation could even have proved that we can't protect our own people in that there was talk of as many as 150 people being killed if they bombed the favorite restaurant of the ambassador. Must be a big place and could have been full of Americans at the explosion.

Oh hell, either accept what the head man at DOJ and the Director of the FBI concurred with or just keep trying to make light of this.

Whoooow, hold your horses..! Mr Cain isn't president yet.
The loser currently in office is a weak kneed, corrupt, socialist, POS who couldn't make a decision if his life depended on it.This jerk has, at most, a little over a year left before he is kicked to the curb. More than likely he will be in jail before the election.
The scandals are growing larger by the day, and the walls are closing in...

Those numbers are funny but this thing is not funny at all. when you get a chance to see the presser or any part of it take it because this is serious and even involves Mexico since that is where the deal was finalized.

If you would watch FOX news, you would already have the answer to that, and any other question you might have...

What would you suggest as proper in the mentioned event that won't be happening because of our investigative abilities? Talk to the topic when you get a chance and don't talk about things that haven't happened yet. Has The Won got all our troops out of Iraq in 3 years as he promised? Has he managed to end the Afghanistan thing? Maybe we best talk about what he does when his Iranian "friends" are involved, as they are in this one.

It was obvious to those paying attention.

Clinton used a war in Bosnia to destract from his cigar affair in which he "did not have sex with that woman". Holder covered for his previous boss a number of times.

Is this another re-run of the Clinton Machine tactics?

Saudi Arabia and Iran are mortal enemies. It's a Shia-Sunni thing. Same reason the Bahrain revolt failed when Saudi security came in and cleaned up the protesters. Bahrain is ruled by a Sunni and the protesters were mostly Shia.

Surely CNN and MSNBC covered that press conference. THEY could have known about it but when at work sneaking in some posts don't allow that to happen.

Do you know a lot about the Quds force in Iran? Do you know that they are the enforces for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard? How about the fact that this man is guilty as hell and was to be paid by that Guard? Well now he was, in fact, given a $100,000 down payment on the $1.5 million he was to get for carrying out the plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador to the US and bombing the Israeli embassy in DC. Our people in charge of keeping us protected from things like this the DOJ and all its parts, the FBI and so on and on all were involved. They know that he was involved in talks with someone in Mexico about all this and they know when and where he got the $100,000.

Catch up on the facts about this case and then come running back to do all your little game playing about saving the Glorious Leader. Let me tell you that Obama has known about this whole thing since June so he is pretty good at keeping a secret, especially about his "friends" in Iran. Seriously I am supporting what Obama and Holder have done up to now and if war has to come I will support Obama on that.

Learn about the subject of the thread and come on back.
Are you happy because Obama is keeping us safe? I remember you saying #1 reason you supported Bush was the fact that he kept us safe.
