So it's just everyday Islamic Jihad then?
Not to worry Obama, Bob Schieffer will handle everything. He's done it for you in the past.
News item dated Tuesday 23 Oct. 2012 - Asked why he did not have any questions about Benghazi for President Obama at Monday's debate Schieffer exclaimed, "Benghazi? I Just Didn't Know About It. If I had known about it I would not have stopped Gov. Romney from asking about it. I've been on vacation and I just missed it."
The Sunday talk shows should be interesting.
“Get the transcript Candy!!!”
Kaddaffi had always kept them in control.
WE unloosed the devils.
Must have been
Bob Schieffer now getting debriefed by Axelrod.
[Now it looks like the White House might be trying to rejigger that narrative yet again. . .]
“Rejigger” is not the best choice of words in the same sentence as White House.
Maybe they could try this narrative:
A group gathered at the Benghazi Consulate because they heard about a movie. They heard rumors that many in Egypt were already rallying around the US Embassy in Cairo and the Embassy issued an apology that they didn’t have tickets for the movie.
So, the group of youngsters in Benghazi rallied at the Consulate and wanted tickets for the movie. The mean ole Ambassador refused. Tempers flaired. A few found some ole AK-47s and grenade launchers laying around. Someone ‘accidentally’ fired a weapon, then another, and a couple spilled some diesel fuel around the compound and it caught on fire, unintentionally trapping the Ambassador inside.
etc
etc

As time passes, the wisdom of the “Bush doctrine” of taking the fight to the terrorists is becoming clearer and clearer.
The invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq depleted a lot of Al Qaeda resources. These invasions also put rulers of other Muslim countries on notice — offering safe haven to Islamist terror organizations would not be tolerated.
Now, all they see is weakness, prevarication, and geo-political-correctness.
I won’t be shocked if there is some token strike in Libya shortly before the debates simply to knock Mitt off balance. The initial reports of success will be exaggerated of course.
Aspirin factories and warehouses in the area are on high alert.
LOL! HOW do you find these wonderful graphics!!!???
(Rhetorical!)
Khaddafi may have been a better ally than we knew.
Scared straight twice (one by Reagan’s raid on his palace complex after the Lockerbie incident, and again into giving up his nuclear weapon program after the fall of Saddam Hussein), he proceeded to keep the militants in his own country under an iron rule.
But Europe wanted his oil production, and he was holding out for a more favorable deal for himself, which led to the confrontation with the Europeans over the delivery of Libyan crude oil. The British and French were all for organizing a coup to oust Khaddafi, but apparently they had not thought the consequences out completely. Now, there is a weak, ineffectual regime in place in Tripoli, that cannot even exert command over much of the rest of the country, let alone assure adequate flow of petroleum to Europe now.
The rest of the country, especially Benghazi, are under some sort of tribal leadership that is of somewhat more than merely recalcitrant. Rhey operate under the same sort of “honor” the Afghan Taliban extended to the al-Qaeda, providing a home for the intellectual heirs of Osama bin Ladin.
I have a sinking feeling that you two are more right than you could possibly know.
"Ben Gazzara? Never heard of him."
Romney should say to obama “Four men were killed in Libya. And you won’t say the word terrorist. Thirteen men were killed at Ft. Hood and you call it workplace violence. Just how many people have to die before you’ll call it what it is? And the American people don’t want to hear a political speech. Just tell us exactly how many people have to die. Will it take another tower being knocked to the ground? If another 3,000 Americans are killed when someone yells Alah Ak Bar, will you then use the word terrorist?”
yeah right, the al Qaeda flags shown all around the area were just wind chimes
