More evidence that the man child in charge cherry picks his live feed football spikes. The Abbatobad raid was conceived, planned and conducted by men he isn't worthy to cast a shadow across, yet he makes the most of it for personal gain and no risk to him. Yet, when threat indicators and real time feed clearly show a terrorist attack unfolding, Obama can't be found - too much risk involved and not optimal for him to take appropriate action.

What a #*%+ing weasel.

Class, can you say dereliction of duty?

Yes, I can. For weeks now I have thought that the denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. I consider the lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack to be fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. I don't consider the inaction during the attack to be any of those.

IMO the failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion.

ONE MAN had the authority to act that night.

ONE MAN deserted his post!

Hey, it's a good thing when one person doesn't say JUST THE RIGHT THING, or EVERYTHING , in the second post.

That leaves it for the rest of us to work on.

It seems like the only purpose of drones is to kill innocent civilians.
