We've had people in Libya since the beginning working to keep these manpads safe and out of the hands of the wrong people.

You brought up what the two ex-SEALS were doing there, as though that was all they were doing.

Yes.

That was their job. If they were doing something else, it doesn't really have anything to do that changes the fact the obama regime sat and watched. I know you'd like to funnel the story into all of these channels of minutiae, but that isn't going to happen.

Were you in the room with Obama watching the attack and can you tell us exactly what he said and did and who else was in the room with him? No? Didn't think so. When people willing to use their names start making such claims, then I'll listen very eagerly.

Your efforts to make the tragedy a political issue to help Romney or because you hate Obama is not working.

While all of you arm chair commandos and experts on the Middle East and protection of our embassy personnel are busy believing un-attributed reports on Fox I don't suppose any of you have considered the possibility that there were other American citizens in the area who could have been killed by the use of force you think the President should have called in? Or do you know exactly where all of our people were while this was happening? Getting intelligence briefings every morning? Y'all pass your FBI security clearance checks to know everything? Let us know. Or, better yet, call Mitt and let him know!! He's probably anxious to give you a GS8 and a desk in the West Wing so you can help him out.

We could wait and get the REAL truth. Real old-fashioned free-press, full-court investigation of what happened. Find out the actual truth, get a real accounting and let the chips fall where they may.

Nah. Why let the deaths of four Americans go to waste when they can be used to get a Republican in the White House.
Yes the old fashioned last few reporters that are left have been digging up the story on what happened and have revealed enough. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it all out. You act like this is some grand puzzle that will take years to piece together. People can investigate and blow hard for 2 years about it, but we know who did it and we should have been more proactive while the whole deal was raging for 7 hours.

The AC130 does have pinpoint accuracy, which is why it is used in close air support.

When it comes to arm chair commandos, I'm sure many are, but maybe some are not. This debacle is going to be studied for years as an example as to how not to do things and I believe more in a wider scope beyond benghazi, details will come out and none of it will be good for obama and clinton. You can rant and rave all you want, but the die has been cast.

What all of this displays is a great example of the indecision and poor leadership obama has and it's why it's time for him to be fired, regardless of what party he belongs to.

No I wasn't in the room with obama, but results matter not intentions and he did nothing worthwhile to intervene or even follow up once it was all over. It took 2 weeks for an American to set foot back in the consulate and it wasn't even secured until well after that date, everything of value by then having been stripped.

Your efforts to sweep it under the carpet and act as though this isn't relevant because an election is coming isn't working. The fact is that we have an incompetent, mediocre, not all that bright, military loathing, narcissistic, utopian statist for POTUS and like Eastwood said when they don't do the job, it's time to let them go. obama is our employee and this attack just highlights how poor of a President he is, so it's time to fire him. He answers to us, we don't answer to him. He is not an untouchable lord that can never be challenged.

You're letting your hate for the President overcome you. I never said he is an untouchable lord that can never be challenged.

As for the "he answers to us" part, I'm a part of that "us," and I totally disagree with you. There are many of "us" who do not think the way you do and we will vote to keep him in office.

But give them 30 seconds, and then they will make 0bama out to be a the, smartest, bestest president ever, and the mostest, sophisticatedest consumer of intelligence on the planet again.


Odd how that works isn't it?

Jennifer Griffin is an experienced investigative reporter. It's telling that you would dismiss the report as a propaganda piece. She does excellent work, and has years of experience in the middle east. She wouldn't put her reputation on the line as you suggest. Jennifer Griffin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's really the problem. It is being reported by members of Congress that Obama won't tell us where
he was at the time. He may not even have been in the situation room.
