1) Take notice of an announced protest on August 30th
2) Take notice of warnings 48 hours earlier that violence was brewing
3) Don't bar the Marines from having live ammo
4) Be ready on the Anniversary of 911 of attacks on ALL US INTERESTS and beef-up the security
5) Actually ATTEND your Intelligence Briefings
You're fixated on a specific act and totally ignoring the larger issue of policy failure in regards to the Arab Spring movement, failure you fault Obama for, yet you won't even talk about it. And, you're still regurgitating the lie that the Marine guards did not have live ammunition, completely ignoring the fact that the Corps itself said that is not true.
I notice, though, that since my last post, you've dropped the apology bullet point.
Romney was QUICK to condemn the apologies issued by the Cairo Embassy.
Romney DOUBLED-DOWN on that the next day.
The Obama Administration is STILL stuck on stupid saying that this was all about a film when the FACTS show that it was all about the Blind Shiek being held by the USA.

Perhaps you've missed me talking about it in many posts in this thread.
Perhaps you should start from the OP?
Why would I repeat myself simply because you haven't read the entire thread?

This is clearly ALL Obama's fault, you tell the world jt800! All you need is this one incident as proof.
To Obama's credit, he inherited a LOT of failed policies over the years, but Obama has made things worse, and what we see today is a result of what he did. As I've just typed, you would not have to sit there and deliberate on how to fix a problem if you didn't inflame the problem in the first place.
We shouldn't be trying to fix a problem we don't understand, and may actually not be able to be fixed.

Ok, I get it. When Hillary or Obama say the same thing Romney said, it's an apology. But, when Romney says it, it's NOT an apology because he said something else first.
Geez. Following your logic and shifting posts is like tracking a single piece of pasta through 500 lbs of spaghetti.
"US President Barack Obama's Middle East policy is in ruins. Like no president before him, he tried to win over the Arab world. After some initial hesitation, he came out clearly on the side of the democratic revolutions. … In this context, he must accept the fact that he has snubbed old close allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian military. And now parts of the freed societies are turning against the country which helped bring them into being. Anti-Americanism in the Arab world has even increased to levels greater than in the Bush era. It's a bitter outcome for Obama."
"Obama was naive to believe that one only needed to adopt a new tone and show more respect in order to dispel deep-seated reservations about the free world. In practice, the policies of the Obama administration in the region were not as naive as they may have seemed at times, and the Americans have always been much more involved in the Middle East than the passive Europeans. But Washington has provided the image of a distracted superpower in the process of decline to the societies there. This image of weakness is being exploited by Salafists and al-Qaida, who are active in North Africa from Somalia to Mali."
"One thing is clear: If jihadists believe they can attack American installations and kill an ambassador on the anniversary of Sept. 11, then America's deterrent power has declined considerably. For a superpower, it is not enough just to want to be loved. You have to scare the bad guys to keep them in check."
It's a shame one must go to the foreign press for a critique on Obama.
