Libya and Egypt Attacks (Page 8)

I did say and stand by what I said and I will be happy to go over why I think what I stated above.

Before I go to the effort and spend the time to do so for you, I'd like your answer to a question.

Do you think President Obama either himself or via his spokesperson('s) lied to the American people in the first week of the attack?

It isn't a conspiracy against the embassy... it is the conspiracy to cover his political rear and not call it what it actually is.. a terrorist attack... because he will then be taken to task on the only thing that so far has not been a problem for him.

I actually find this quite funny.... Obama ran to end two wars so he could take care of everyone here at home. Yet he has not taken care of anyone here at home except his contributors... and the only thing he can claim success on he didn't actually do.

If I have to hear the lie said one more time that Obama ended the war in Iraq I think my head will explode. Bush ended the war in Iraq and Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan. Yet now.... he ended both wars, secured peace, and killed OBL and Al Qaida.

And now, he can't admit it was a terrorist attack which is plainly was, because that would actually mean the world isn't as safe as he says... and then of course he would actually have to deal with it instead of campaign.... which apparently was his problem with the debate...he was busy running the country and didn't have time to prepare.

But ya, Romney lied and Big Bird died. At least we are on the important stuff.

Wait......Big Bird is dead?  

I can't have nothing.

Bill is out campaining for Mr. Obama, while Hillary is taking the heat over Libya. Of course, we all know when it comes to this president...it's always somebody elses fault.

eta: to update link

The quotes may be messed-up, sorry.

Embassy Security is one thing.  Yes, the president doesn't get a daily update on the number of Marine Security Guards or 3rd country nationals at every embassy in his daily intelligence briefing. 

But on 9/11, with one embassy having an angry mob scaling the wall and tearing the US Flag down and flying a black islamist flag, and other riots in Tripoli.  Then, it's time for him to pay attention and say "What are my options."  Maybe he did say that and chose option 3 "Do nothing, apologize to the muslim world for a film and hope it all goes away."

I've said it before, Bill Clinton ordered the evacuation/securing of several embassies while he was president before any of them were overrun and before any ambassadors were killed. The MEU is sitting in Djibouti waiting for something like this to happen so they can get into the mix.  The FAST Teams are sitting in ROTA eating Paella, waiting for this type of order. 

When the Ambassador and RSO are begging for security and they're told no and they're later killed because they lack sufficient security; that is a clear indication that the President didn't appoint competent people to run his administration.  The extent to which he wants this to just go away and the extent to which the Media is allowing it to slip to page 83 (NYT) is wrong.  This is a "big f-in deal" to paraphrase Biden.

So let’s sum things up since the story and the thread has expanded.

Day one thru day many official position is it was a protest that got out of hand and turned violent over a movie trashing the prophet Mohamed.

Now some weeks later we know the following.

There was no movie just a youtube trailer of a movie some guy wanted to make.

The protest never happened it was an all out attack from the start.

The ambassador or his staff asked for and was refused additional security.

The building serving as the consulate did not meet minimum standards for protection and a request for upgrades was denied.

Several attacks had been made on American interests in Benghazi over the past several months but security was weakened anyway.
Now we learn today that a drone was sending a live feed to xxxxxx Department of State? During the attack.

This administration has been lying about what happened from day one and the lying has distracted us from asking
the real question, Why was the Ambassador there to begin with?

Do any of you think the Ambassador woke up on the morning of September 11^th 2012 and decided the place to be was in Benghazi, where he knew elements of terror groups wanted to kill him, where he knew he would have no armed escort, be housed in a substandard location, with guards armed only with night sticks?  Who told him to go and for what reason?  That is the big question.

Breitbart did a pretty comprehensive timeline of everything and the concerns with each stage.  Granted it's a right wing website, but I haven't found any other descriptions laying out the timeline and concerns as well as they do.  I'm not sure why the press hasn't done that?  lol

BENGHAZI-GATE: A TIMELINE OF GOVERNMENT DECEIT, DECEPTION, AND OUTRIGHT LIES

So, when Obama resigns after the debate tonight will Biden automatically be the nominee on Nov 6? 

Never, let me repeat, Never throw the intelligence community under the bus.  

Your comments are (nearly) always very astute. The WH surely p*ssed someone off that they shouldn't have.

That being said, I'm not sure it's such a big deal, unless they had independent verification from somewhere other than Facebook and Twitter. All the email says is that they were under attack, and that a group claimed responsibility on FB and Twitter. Which this group later recanted.
