I think Romney is pulling this stuff out of his butt.

Am I right? Do I win a prize?
Who's is fault is it? Isn't he the one who help get rid of Gaddafi? Didn't they say helping the "rebels" was a good thing. That they would be our allies?

Still. The militants KNEW where the safehouse was.

And that's because somebody on the inside gave them that information.

Libyan nationals were doing the protection. We outsourced our embassy protection to our enemy ..good Lord.
Ehhh....the embassy is in Tripoli, and it's guarded by US Marines.

Dream on in your la la land, as usual.

Don't see too much back up here:

Romney rips Obama over US response to Libya attacks - Politics - The Boston Globe

Romney calls Obama administration response to Libya attacks ‘disgraceful’

Romney ratchets up criticism of Obama on initial response to embassy attacks - NBC Politics

Yep, just straight forward reporting on what actually happened.....which is Romney showed leadership and Obama once again showed his pandering to radicals and his foreign policy weakness.

So the capital of the rebels we supported is a mere outpost?

Benghazi is a consulate.

Quote:
An evacuation plane with U.S. commandos units then arrived from Tripoli to evacuate them from the house.

"It was supposed to be a secret place and we were surprised the armed groups knew about it. There was shooting," Sharif said. Two U.S. personnel were killed there, he said. Two other people were killed at the main consular building and between 12 and 17 wounded.

I cannot believe, well actually I can, that Romney bots think making a statement over something that was issued by the Embassy towards the citizens of Egypt before the Ambassador got killed could actually be from the WH. Romeny is an idiot and has clue. he doesn't deserve to be President if he gonna jump to conclusions like this. He owes Obama and all of America an apology.

Romney's bringing foreign affairs to forefront only reminds voters how he wants to take us to war with Iran. A replay of the Bush years with Iraq.
ROFL!!!! The economy and foreign affairs are two of Obamas many weak points....probably the weakest.

Obama had ZERO foreign affairs experience coming into his presidency (community organizer and all) and will leave soon with very little experience.

Lefties sure are good for a laugh - or several.

As more and more facts are revealed (this appears to be an organized attack by a known group) Romney is looking more and more like the fool he is.
