All the past politicians in the White House, the Senate and the Congress decided that all our offshore security needs would go to the lowest bidder. Until they saw what happened in Benghazi. Just like shippers, the security companies bid the job, won, then hired foreigners at the minimum wage in their country of origin. Will you risk your life protecting people you don't know or care about for less than 10$ and hour?

The military declined due to distance. Everybody would be dead by the time they got there.

If this had been his response in Benghazi, it would have arrived about 24 hours after the people died. Benghazi was not an embassy, but a consulate which was about the size of a 4 bedroom house, where a handful of US personnel came under armed attack. Baghdad embassy is a 104 acre massive complex which can house 16 000 people and is well fortified and defended by a large number of armed Marines. The Marines held back since the embassy was never under armed attack. Tear gar was sufficient to keep the protesters out. Trying to compare the two is inane, but the "response" to send the additional Marines 24 hours after the attack was symbolic, and would have been way too late if the embassy was under armed attack. There was a reason why they attacked the vulnerable consulate, and not the embassy in Tripoli with Marines guarding it. A US person was killed in Iraq last week, and he too was outside the protection of the embassy.

They didn't even have the guts to do that themselves. Oh wait, Hillary did lie about it. She had the guts to LIE more.
She lied about it to the parents of the murdered, right over their caskets! How can Democrats accuse Trump of being a liar when they were so willing to vote for the likes of Hillary?

A US person was killed, so yea, it was another Benhgazi in that sense.

You are making guarantees you can't keep. You also said Trump won't allow US people get killed, but he already allowed it. What are you talking about?

A person with 13 000 proven lies in 3 years is a liar. What else could you possibly call him? The funnel of truth?

That was a HUGE insult to the men that died, and their families. They were horrified when her only comment was that they'd get the person that made that VIDEO! Thank God Hillary LOST. We dodged a huge bullet, and it is consoling to those families that she lost is eating her alive, daily.

You hailed Trump when he laid down and surrendered in Syria, and now you seem to suggest it's not the right thing to do.

But of course we already know you'll hail whatever he does or says.

Pick a view and stick with it, because talking out of both sides of your mouth makes you look disingenuous, just like your leader.

Ironically the Iranian backed militias which we bombed are the same folks who Trump and his supporters said will help Assad / Putin 'fix' Syria.

You rail about a personal attack in a thread you started but have no problem making a personal attack in this one I started !!! You have no creditability and have lost any objectivity to criticize others for the very thing you do !!!
All anyone really has to do to show how hypocritical the left is, is keep them running their mouth !!! They sure don't know how to run a country !!!

By the way !!!
It was during the Obama admin that the US embassy in Syria was closed (2012) so effectively he surrendered !!!
