You mean the terrorist who was behind the Benghazi attack? The one that the US knew his name and location? That one? The terrorist group AAS that the US knew was behind the Benghazi attack?

Why would they fear reprisals when they have a friend in the WH??? The weekend, next weekend, next month. So you close the embassies and consulates for how long? They will just sit back and wait for the all clear and there will be an attack. As usual, the US has to announce they know what they enemy is going to do. Nothing like giving the enemy a heads up.

I'd think that his accountability and job performance is clearly
enough to prove that he has absolutely no idea what he's doing
or the ramification's he now has to deal with

He' so much more then just an idiot, and this just proves it

Barack Hussein Obama's dog & pony show is about to end

How is this possible? Al Qaida has been decimated and was on the run
:::sigh:::
If you shrink Al Qaida by one tenth, there's still a lot of them left. Maybe your struggles with the metric system is causing your confusion with the word "decimated".

Because it is a bull**** story to take the attention off the real story. The real story is the Prism Xkeyscore scandal. So they do what any good magician does misdirect. It's a common trick in the spy world misdirect. Create diversion and keep it coming until American ADD brains forget and Monday night football is on. They are hoping we forget that we now know we live in a police state it's been confirmed.

Now that Obama is doing something beforehand ... Republicans are looking for a way to hate Obama for it again.

There is no way to please an Obama hater!
They also seem to be forgetting who gave nuclear technology to Iran. Why, it was Bush's BFF - Cheney.
You know, the nuclear technology that everyone's afraid of now, because they'll use it against us?

Aren't we smart enough to get past the party bickering please? Can't we see they are the same thing. Dems give more crumbs to poor Repub more kickbacks to their former frat buddies. Neither of them gives a damn about you. You just perceive that they do.

Corporations and Lobbyist run this country not you and I. We can't afford the 10k dinners where decisions that affect our lives are made. We have been priced out of a democratic process in a republic.

If we allow them to continue to divide ourselves they have us beat I hope some of you get that.
