Did the president who ignored the warnings about hijackers using a plane in a terrorist attack have to resign? More than 4 were killed if you`ll recall. That`s right. Bush did it.

We ALL read it and it's OBAMA'S State Department just as it was George Bush's Pentagon when prisoners at Abu Grhaib were allegedly abused.

Yes, I read it. I had edited to add this right after I posted too early - my bad.

But this explains my reasoning and frustration. If something that costs lives occurs on a military commander's watch that was a result of a subordinate's actions, the military commander will still be held accountable. We have had many a friend over the years be relieved of command for a subordinate's actions or lack there of, on things much less grievous than this.

Looks like that the requests were sent to the State Department and some members of Congress didn't respond quickly enough to requests.

Fail on your part.

Oy vey, another clueless wonder that doesn't know how our government is structured.

clue: Obama has nothing to do with the State Department. That is wholly headed by the Secretary of State.

It would help if you posted a few key quotes from these articles in addition to just a link with a generic name.

I'm sure all the leaks coming out of the white house are not the fault of Obama either.

the US State Department is run by many individuals of VARIOUS political beliefs. They are headed by the Secretary of State, who is the sole person responsible for dealing with affairs internally in the US and in foreign countries.

No, you did not read it. And you show yet again, that you don't know how government works.

Debunked LONG ago. The Congressional Report on 911 proved that untrue.

But IN THIS CASE we have the Embassy in Libya DIRECTLY requesting (not just a possible noise in the intelligence community) increased security and it being denied.

To make your lame attempt at an analogy work, you'd have to show that Bush was TOLD directly that airports needed higher security due to people having actual knowledge that planes were going to be hijacked and Bush denied that increase.

If you listen to these swooners its almost as if Obama hasn't been president the last four years somebody else has and Obama is running against that person. They are that blinded by their efforts to defend his actions.
