Mr. President, who let them die?
Union Leader ^

Posted on 10/27/2012 9:51:28 AM PDT by Perdogg

(Note: With the President due to campaign in Nashua today, his answer to our Editorial Page Director Andrew Cline's question, if he has one, would no doubt be of great interest to New Hampshire voters.)

Every time President Obama is asked why the U.S. embassy in Libya was denied its multiple requests for extra security at the Benghazi consulate before Sept. 11, he changes the subject. No wonder, as yesterday it was reported that not only were previous requests for extra security denied, but three additional requests on the night of the attack also were denied.

Who forgot that the embassy is sovereign US turf that he swore an oath to protect and defend?

Remember the media frenzy over Abugraib? All over the news 24/7. No one died at Abugraib.

The conclusion is obvious. The American news media are the direct arm of the current administration. The media are as responsible for the deaths as the current administration.

When you criticize one of the Rat Party nutcase Administrations -- even in the most solemn matters like this -- you can expect to catch hell from a Rat Party government and many of their MSM employees..

"[An idiom meaning you screwed up], and those boys died!" President Clinton had Couple Arrested for Insulting Him!

Glenn and Patricia Mendoza were reacting to the 19 airmen killed in a Saudi Arabia suicide bombing (1996) and confronted President Clinton. The Chicago police and the Secret Service got back to the Mendozas immediately -- they were arrested -- and IIRC the IRS and DoJ kept getting back the them for years after that.

We must all be prepared to help defend the families and America against the Rat Party and MSM employees attacks on the families.

I hadn't read your post when I posted mine.

I think between us we covered almost the full extent of what used to be called the MSM.

There are two scandals emerging here. The one in the WH, and the one involving the press’ efforts to assist the WH in its cover-up. As I heard Rush say yesterday, it's as though Woodward and Bernstein were helping the Nixon WH keep Watergate quiet in the midst of an election.

As an institution, the media is hopelessly and terminally corrupt and beyond redemption.

I was pointing out that the Libs attacked Bush, saying he could have prevented 9/11. The government had warnings about it.

It’s stupid, I know, but blaming Obama for the deaths in Libya is just as stupid, in my opinion.

To be clear, I hate all politicians, because not a one has shown me that they can be trusted.

At one time, the press cared about getting stories for their papers to print.

Now the press only cares about promoting a left-wing ideological agenda.

Wrong.

The press now only cares about its own survival and this is caused by the people of America caring more about the Kardashians than the country’s survival.

Stupidity is king and the press is following suit.

If the post handled watergate like this, Nixon would have finished his second term.

Oh. You are AMAZED?! How charming. Obama and Madame Bill Clinton ARE going to ‘splain WHY they watched like spectators in real time for SEVEN hours while our people in the Benghazi embassy (who had asked for extra security) were being murdered. . . while an aircraft carrier off the coast of Italy, about two and a half hours away were waiting for orders from our BRAVE POTUS to send fighters; an order that never came, because POTUS couldn’t let his dear “Arab Spring” and “Al Quaeda is on the run” fairy tale disintegrate into VIOLENCE - now could he? After all, he MUST be re-elected - for our own good. The a$$.

WTF? Obama was watching it happen in real time and had the ability to take action to stop it.

You're quite the contrarian today, aren't you?

First, the rather remarkable statement that holding the Zero WH responsible for what happened in Benghazi is like the left blaming Bush for 9/11?

And then telling me that the press doesn't have a left-wing agenda?

I guess everyone’s entitled to an opinion, even a foolish one.

By quickly ordering all planes in the US grounded, Bush may have prevented additional hijackings on 9/11. There were reports in 2001 of other plots which did not succeed.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. I don’t recall Pres. Bush watching 9/11 on TV and refusing to help. Bamster may have not been able to stop it from starting, although from all reports, additional security was requested and denied, but he sure could have done something about it when it was occurring.

He refused to help, therefore, he is responsible for the deaths of four Americans.

The press cares about the survival of the rat party and their hero.

Accusing Obama of being responsible for these deaths is as stupid as Libs who blamed 9/11 on Bush.

You are full of it. We had F-18s 23 minutes away sitting on go. Obama would not give the order.

The entire AFRICOM was biting at the bit to go help. Obama would not let them.

This is how it works in the real world, Grasshopper.

"It's not a scandal if we don't report it."
