The right wing media bosses are attempting to deflect from the real issues of Romney having zilch foreign policy and security experience, that the GOP (Ryan included) voted to underfund the security funds that Obama requested, that Obama has kept us safer on American soil than Bush did and that Obama successfully eliminated bin Laden. As tragic as this embassy incident was and it certainly was, the are shamelessly using it as fodder. The same patriots that hailed firefighters as heroes on 911 and now demonize them by blaming them as part of the reason why the economy went blooey and put forth a candidate that does not even pay homage to the soldiers at the RNC. What sack of "malarkey" they dump. Garbage in...garbage out.

So no proof at all. O.K. that is all you had to say.

So let me guess you had an hour long show with no proof that Obama ever knew about a request for any security and no proof that he ever denied that request. See how easily it is to boil down these shows. You wasted an hour of your life. I would ask Fox for your money back.

This is swift boating plane and simple. These people just lap it up. They are giving them a reason to hate Obama. It does not have to make sense and certainly does not have to factually correct. They just need something to hang their hate on.

A pretty damning report. But then hindsight is always 20/20. Could haves and should haves will abound.
Do I think the Obama admin dropped the ball? Of course they did. Just as some can say GWB did on his own 911.
I don't damn Obama and company for what happened. When dealing with radicals it is nearly impossible to predict their actions. That said some pretty good guesses that error on the side of saftey could have been made.
What I damn the Obama admin for is the follow up to the attack.
The repeated attempts to blame a bad video.
The vaque reference in the rose garden to not tolerating any acts of terror. Yes he said terror. In context he was also discussing the original 911 as well as other known attacks.
What I honestly fault the Obama admin for is the weak follow up and the distortions.

It is against TOS for me to tell you what i would like to tell you !

But the punishment for a Capitol Offence is death by hanging...... I hope this happens to Obama, all nice and legal. That will be "Unprecedented" (only big word that fool knows)
Go ahead...make my day.

And how republican of you to hope the President of the United States gets hanged to death.

Sorry. IMO your source is very biased. I've been keeping track of this issue for many weeks now and have read lots of background. You need to do yourself a favor and read some objective material about this attack and what happened and not rely on Fox as your ONLY SOURCE. They are playing with your emotions to try to gain support for Romney by using this incident to attack Obama.

The families are not attacking Obama over this incident. Only one woman is anger over not being given information, the mother of one of the deceased, however, her son was married and had a family of his own, and the son's wife/widow is the contact person for info from the State Department. The woman should talk to her daughter-in-law.

No of the report was accurate? They laid the facts down had chronological order. What part of the report was false or misleading?
Did you even watch it or are you simply making an assumption because you don't like fox?

I am sure it will be repearted over the weekend. FOX does that with important programs. You won't need to wait long---if you watch it of course.

Reasonable post. Having said all of that and if everything you said was true, which I disagree with, but assuming that it is all true, should it actually get this much attention. This is all they are talking about on Fox. Surely you can see this for what it is...nothing more than swift boating.
