Security was increased worldwide AND embassy personnel were kept away, both of which were the right thing to do.

If anyone questions whether USA is serious about kicking some terrorist ass, see the hundreds of AQ leaders who have been killed by relentless drone/assassination / surveillance campaign pushed by this president (also at the complaint of conservatives, ironically).

You're just being your usual trollish self, looking to whine when there is nothing there. Get a new hobby.

I believe the "cry wolf" scenario perpetrated last week by our Government was less about Benghazi and more about hoping that the Leftist Propaganda Media Arm of the Government (ie. the media) would rush to declare that collecting and intercepting the digital footsteps of American's and people all across the world is a noble cause with a "See, there's a good reason to spy on you!" kind of moment.

It appears that overall, that plan backfired. Not many, if any, media folks have rushed to declare the NSA heroes, as Obama and Company had hoped they would.

If so much "arse" is being kicked then why the heightened security and unprecedented closing of embassies? According to Obama AQ has been decimated and on the run. Actions are not equating to what is being spoken by the grand leader. Not to mention the thousands of AQ fighters freed from prisons the last month. Yeah they are on the run...........from their prison cells to kill more.

He is a lot younger than Hillary.

Where did you get "racial undertones" from that appellation?

Blame the Bush Administration for starting this whole fear-filled word of "terrorists" and "terrorism".

The current administration hasn't done us any favors by continuing the tradition.

You want terrorists? Look at the people in charge.

On Benghazi; Mother Jones and others have reported, the most important thing to know about Benghazi is that there was no Libyan embassy or consulate. In fact, the entire thing was a CIA operation to round-up shoulder-launched missiles in Libya. Of the 30 members of the CIA Operations HQ, only 7 were State Department employees. The remaining 23 were CIA operatives, many with special ops training. The public “document dump” by that fool Darrel Issa for his investigation outed a CIA operation in Libya, and it also outed the identities of the Libyans who were working with the CIA, which could lead to their deaths.

Broken record responses are merely responses to your ridiculous broken record threads on the same topics, Obama and those evil Muslims, over and over and over. Obviously you can't find any other topics of interest.

You hold a pretty good record yourself on ridiculous broken record responses about all those bad Muslims and your constant reference to Islam being "the religion of peace" (you even reference Islam in the title of the thread).

Let it go.

Now go ahead and give me your ridiculous broken record response telling me how I defend Muslims.
