I don't like Obama and I hope that he'll lose big in 2012 presidential election and beome a black eye [colloquially] for Krugman's economic and social Progressivism.
I say that because what comes next may piss some people off.
There's a lot of accusations, conspiratorial or otherwise flying around about POTUS, SOSOTUS, and the CIA in regards to Benghazi. I can't sort thru the wheat and the chaff and make any judgement other than a terrible thing happened.
In situations like this, I'm not one to run out and Monday morning quarterback and pile on the President for political purposes, yet I realize that if something were truly amiss or egregious we wouldn't know unless somebody did.
With this
I see no problem with certain facts and situations not being put under the public microscope because of security issues and state issues.
I do have a problem when decisions are made under the color of authority when in fact, they are political decisions for political benefits. This to me is Misfeasance.
Now we have this circle jerk of finger pointing from POTUS to SOSOTUS to CIA and then back again.
Things I would like to know:
Where there really requests for additional security above the normal continuous requests for such things that probably happen everywhere? And if so, who acknowledges and then denies those requests?
Who was responsible for operational and situational awareness at or around the Consulate and the Ambassador at the time and what do they have to say?
Was the Ambassador involved in a non state related mission or operation and if so who planned and and who authorized it?
When outside events overtook the situation, who was in command of the U.S team there and what and when were their requests during the situation? We're they achievable and realistic?
What military assets where in country or at call at the time for support, and if not, then why?
Why was there no diplomatic version of "Broken Arrow" called?
Yes, there are SOP for anyone even remotely associated with rapid response or rescue. It is highly organized.
I think it’s code for a lost Nuke.
