No, you're wrong. You're confusing your own individual attempt at an inference versus the originally intended meaning of what was said -- those are not the same thing.

You're assuming that your experience is universal, which is another mistake.

Too little, too late. Sadly we needed to watch four Americans perish before Obama, the most super, freaky smart, intelligence analyst on the planet, decided that four, poorly trained Libyan Security force personnel, with only AK-47s strapped to their backs, was not enough security for a US ambassador.

Did you actually read your own link?

Quote:
Richard Clarke, for the first time, levels explosive allegations against three former top CIA officials – George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee – accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the Bush and Clinton White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments about two of the 9/11 hijackers who had entered the United States more than a year before the attacks.
and here's the kicker:

Clarke acknowledges that he does not have any evidence to back up his claims about the former CIA officials

So....where are Ms. Clinton's statements when South Park bashes Christians, Jews and Mormans every couple of weeks? When talk show hosts (rightly) tell jokes concerning child abusing priests? When Hollywood makes movie after movie slandering Christ?

I guess it's OK to mock Christians, since they aren't violent, murderous wackjobs (on the whole anyway). Apparently the same can not be said about many Muslims.

I'm an athesit, but think all religions are due some degree of respect, simply as a courtsey to the various believers. But to single out radical Islam for special protections...when they are the ones deserving of ridicule, is assinine...and cowardly.

They took the statement from the ambassador of Egypt and assumed it met with the approval of Obama and his admin. Since Obama himself gave no statement, everyone assumed that the people in his administration were speaking for him, and he was satisfied with their statements.

Obama was impotent, he sat there in total and complete silence as our embassy was sacked, our flag burned and as his own ambassador, who is is charged with protecting, and three other Americans were murdered. We were not asking him to set his hair on fire, just asking for him to act like he gives a ****.

He showed us exactly how unpresidential he is. His response to a crisis is Fire! Ready! Aim! Oh, and make sure I'm scoring as many political points as possible while shooting from the hip.
Check my posts, I've been asking you Obama suck-ups for two days now, to explain or justify, or defy my assertions that Obama went to bed without making any statement. Whose talking about a 2:00 AM call??? This one was at 2:00 PM on Sept 11th - in the middle of the freaking day!!!

Silly liberals....the apology was the statement made by the US embassy in Cairo that stated regret for "hurting the feelings of Muslims."

Can you guys EVER get anything right?

An entire thread based of an inaccurate understanding of current events!!!!!!

Ask me if i'm surprised!

I posted the apology in this thread, so you don't know what you are talking about.

Since when has a POTUS come out and made any statement on events that were still unfolding and they didn't have all the facts about yet? Wouldn't that be much more foolish than waiting until he could give us the whole picture about what was going on and what the US was doing in response?

And, how do you know how much sleep he got that night?

Perhaps you might want to inform your man, Mitt Romney.
