Posted on 11/01/2012 7:14:21 AM PDT by Nevadan

Due to restrictions on posting articles from the Las Vegas newspaper, I can't post the link, so you will have to go there on your own, but it is a well written editorial. The title is: Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief

Here's a snippet:

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in a well-planned military assault on their diplomatic mission in Benghazi seven weeks ago, the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. So why are details surfacing, piecemeal, only now?

I think the source was one of the main litigants in the notorious Righthaven debacle, so I can understand the OP’s sensitivity about posting from it.

If somebody knows how to get the Benghazi story out there without the help of the Obama media, count me in. I will contribute money. Actually, I feel like it’s my duty. Any ideas? And, by the way, thanks to the Las Vegas editor!

WOW! Romney endorsement.

This snippet says it all:

“While the removal of tyrants can be laudable, the results show a disturbing pattern of merely installing new tyrannies - theocracies of medieval mullahs who immediately start savaging the rights of women (including the basic right to education) and who are openly hostile to American interests.”

OUCH! That's gonna leave a mark.

I especially like the ending. At this point in the campaign, we ALL need to be saying this OVER and OVER!

Candidate Obama said if he couldn't fix the economy in four years, his would be a one-term presidency.

Mitt Romney is moral, capable and responsible man. Just this once, it's time to hold Barack Obama to his word. Maybe we can all do something about that, come Tuesday.

Very thorough and scathing in its indictment of the Obama regime. Whatever the US does to extract revenge on the perpetrators of the consulate attack will never compensate for the lack of action when these men were still under attack. It was only the bravery and initiative of those on the ground who prevented this from becoming a bigger tragedy. Americans were left to swing in the wind by those who have sworn to protect them. Inexcusable and unforgivable.

No media coverup on Obama’s treason !?

Why are Republicans , Romney-Ryan team so silents ?

Time to unload on economy , socialism , Benghazi , arab “spring” , immigration....while CNN hopes that Sandy will soften a campaign becoming bipartisan like Cristie and Obblama hand in hand....

I caught some of O’Reilly’s show last night and there was a Q and A segment with a reporter and pedestrians in an area of New York. I am pretty sure one person said she didn’t think this story was important enough to change the election/her vote as an Obama supporter. The Obama supporters cited gay rights and womens’ issues as their primary reasons for supporting him.

Liked this one even better:

These behaviors go far beyond "spin." They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation's economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie "Dr. Strangelove," would be disastrous.

Well worth reading the entire article.

After the Achille Laurel and the death of Leon Klinghoffer. Reagan had Gaddafi's compound bombed killing one of his sons and narrowly missing him. Libya was silent for 25 years.

Obozo apologizes and we have an American ambassador and three other Americans dead. Can anyone explain to me exactly what is wrong with "Cowboy diplomacy"?

The lvrj doesn't even allow links? Or is it FR who doesn't allow them? Nice to know.

It stems from a copyright lawsuit filed against FR and many other sites a while back.

OTOH, mods haven't pulled the links yet, maybe policy has changed?

Ironic, considering that the Obama regime has been taking Ghadaffi’s weapons and giving them (via Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia) to the AQ-affiliated Islamists in Syria rather than to the secularists who are in it to establish freedom. IOW, Obama is sending weapons to ensure that Syria will end up with an Islamist regime that suppresses the right of women to even drive a car and that hangs homosexuals.

But people in America are either too stupid or too uninformed to absorb exactly what their support of Obama means in the world or in this country. Even on their “pet” issues.

Just a quick hint to everybody.

When you see the title of an article all you need to do is google the title and you will be taken to the paper and the article. So, to see the article, just google “Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief” and you will be there in a flash. That is the reason the poster included the name of the article.

Hopefully the folks at Nellis AFB will also be making their voices heard in Nevada...

Obama just threw out the foundational principle of our military, which is what keeps our guys together and in the fight: Never leave a man behind. The guys in the foxholes know they are toast if they can’t depend on that foundational principle.

I think the rules are that you can include up to four lines and a link. I note that the papers themselves always have a “Like us on Facebook” option. So they want their word spread, I guess it’s just a matter of how (and where?)
