I'm hoping Woodward runs with it like he ran with Watergate.

This was an attack on American soil. It has happened precious few times in our 236 year history. The War of 1812. Mexican-American war (1846). Feeble efforts by Germany during WWII. And 9/11 of course.

To characterize concern over an attack on American soil as a "bizarre obsesion" takes the cake. It's almost impossible to respond without breaking Godwn's law, Three-wolves law, Murphy's law, and the law of diminishing returns.

We're not pretending. We are outraged and we want the truth, just as we still want the truth about Fast & Furious. I seem to recall that Holder put the brakes on that investigation by refusing to turn over documents. Must be that there's something to hide there, too.

No, I, for one, am not pretending. I'm mad as heck that our government would try a cover up its part in the death of 4 Americans when everyone knows that there was a serious failure to provide security.

People screwed up Clinton and Obama took responsibility. I heard Obama say as much at the second debate. Done.

Why would it matter if it was a crowd or Al Queda? It was a screw up and a failure in any case. No one is denying that.



You really don't see the difference?

Amazing, isn't it?

I cringe to think that the votes of these people are worth as much as an intelligent person's vote.

It looks like CBS Atkins and ABC Tapper are also becoming 'obsessed'.

It could be the tipping point. The MSM see's Obama's poll numbers tanking so they are going to toss him under the bus to save their liberal ideology. You see he just didn't do it right. The next guy of course will in their twisted brainwashed minds.

Saying I take responsibility and actually taking responsibility are 2 different things.
Taking responsibility would be admitting to misleading the public about the nature of the attack.
It would be taking ownership of the failures and coming clean. Not hiding behind underlings.
He has yet to come clean in anyway.
That is what fuels the conspiracy stories.

A cover up, is a cover up, is a cover up for one's motives, Obama's! That's the truth in the matter and a poor excuse of being politically correct for one's delusional gain for power! Oh how sad for our society!
