You just made me cry. That is what is at the core of this. Our BELIEF that help would always come. That belief has been DESTROYED!!! How can a mom ever allow her child to sign up now? HOW?
I, like most of us probably, have been thinking about Benghazi practically non-stop. I cannot wrap my arms around it. Everything I have ever trusted and believed about my country seems to be crumbling at my feet:( I am not military, nor is anyone in my family, but still or perhaps because of that, I have always had profound respect and admiration for those who serve and are willing to give so much. I have always believed our leaders, even if I did not agree with their policies, were honorable men and women. Oh sure we have had ones that were involved in various “sins” but they didn’t touch the places this has touched. What other President would have ever left a man behind? Even Carter TRIED to rescue our people and what other President thought we the people were so feeble minded we would buy that video tape saga?
We all know Obama is all about Obama and right now Obama is all about being re-elected. With the Embassy under attack, wouldn’t it have been a great benefit to Obama to be able to tout how he had thwarted the terrorists and saved American and Lybia lives by giving the order for our military to “go get em”? But he didn’t.
WHY? What is he hiding and how are his actions helping him? He wouldn’t have done it unless he believed it would help him. WHAT IS IT?
I think the answer lies in "Dreams From My Father", something to the effect of "I will stand with the Muslims".
At first, I thought Obama's damage to our country would come by way of his narcissism and his afro-centrism. As time went by, I began to feel that these very harmful outcomes would be exceeded by his anti-capitalist beliefs.
Since Libya, Egypt, and now Benghazi, it is clear to me that the most harm will come from his islamo-centrism.
Just the week before, he had loudly "spiked the football" again on killing Osama bin Laden. He had contended Al Qaeda was no longer operative as a result. This led to Egyptian protestors chanting "Obama! Obama! There are a thousand Osamas!" - but the MSM really didn't want you to hear about that. When Benghazi happened and it immediately became clear it was an organized terrorist action, Obama felt immediately he could not act to stop it without losing face. And "face" is everything to people with his type of background. They decided to try to use the minor protests going on in Egypt over the YouTube video being show on Egyptian TV as a cover story for what happened in Benghazi.
The takeaway is - Obama (or Valerie Jarrett) thought using military force to stop an Al Qaeda attack would be more politically damaging to his campaign than doing nothing and trying to pretend the attack was something else entirely.
