F'ing hypocrites. If you want to look up the definition of a hypocrite, look up Democrats, Noonan, et. al.
Noonan a Democrat???

She was a primary speech writer and Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan and in her political writings is considered a Republican.

Peggy Noonan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually, it was opportunistic and stupid of Romney to speak out so quickly before he knew what was going o.

Dang, I have to spread more reputation around. Why is that? Why can't I "like" the posters I "like" as often as I "like"?

Except one minor disagreement. I don't think Obama thinks the Muslim Brotherhood taking control of Egypt is his idea of "going sour". I think he helped orchestrate it from the get go and that it was preordained.

The people killed in Libya were killed because of the lack of concern and stupidity of the people who made that film and put it up on YouTube.......

Your hatred for Obama is having a negative effect on your thinking.

Romney made a fool of himself, looked like an opportunist, and demonstrated his total lack of capacity for dealing with such a situation. the idea that he would be in control of foreign policy is terrifying.
Right, because as we all know, there are no Muslims in America.

When he found out that the terrorists were taking flying lessons in FL and didn't need to know how to take off or land the plane. He decided instead to go to the ranch for a month long vacation and didn't want to hear briefings.

Apparently none that would kill for their religion, right.

There were several who were caught and convicted before they could carry out their plans. Doesn't mean they got them all. Ever hear of sleeper cells?

You didnt answer the question, why was this warning, any different than the ones that were going off for years, even through the Clinton administration?

Speaking of defuses... I never thought Mitt Romney, given his years in France, would ever turn out to be another Sarah Palin when it came to foreign affairs. That he is so much like her troubles me down to the bone!

I've taken flying lessons, (albeit it a few of them) have you? Maybe you dont know that taking off and landing is one of the last things you learn. The warnings were received in July 2001 from flight schools, but those warnings went through the FBI, and according to reports, it never made it to high levels.
