Two white boys, Navy Seals might die unless we send in aerial gunships and rescue forces? Screw ‘em! I’m not risking my re-election on a possible fiasco and escalation with the Muslim world. The Ambassador and the others? Tough! Them’s the breaks, they were born to kiss my Kenyan arse and serve me

It is worse than the 2 SEALS sacrificed. If they had obeyed the order to stand down, there would be 30 dead in the 'consulate' rather than the 4 who died. But make no mistake. Obama, for political purposes, told the SEALS to stay away and offer no help. Leave the people in the consulate to die. That is what Obama and Panetta were willing to accept. That was the cost of doing buisness by dear leader.

....feeling of despair and hopelessness can be overwhelming sometimes...

Yes, you are right that we saw those early gains of the leftists as just a phase. But, piece by piece, they have successfully deconstructed so much of our cultural and moral underpinning. And it happened right in front of our eyes.

On election night, I just cried myself to sleep, and I am, by no means, a woman who cries easily. I don’t describe my feelings as hopelessness; it is more like profound sorrow, a sorrow that feels just like the death of a family member.

I like she also asked the question of John Bolton....but both he and Dana know that is a linemine to give an answer that we all seem to know already,.

I still think that Broadwell’s message to Jill Kelley, if Broadwell was in fact the one who sent it, had nothing to do with sex but was a warning about something Kelley had done that affected either Petraeus or the other general and related to Benghazi. This goes a lot deeper than anybody thinks, which was exactly what Broadwell’s father said.

NEEDS TO BE REPEATED IMO

The Communist will now go for bore. Damage control in full swing.

I made a similar comment recently. I am 100% the email, if indeed sent by Broadwell, was about the sinister Islamist crapola going on.

Thanks! I know about the other thirty Americans Obama cut loose to die. Who would have died if not for the two patriotic, skilful Navy Seals who kept the heavily armed Jihadist mobs at bay and killed many of them (Thank God)
Same Seals who lost their lives doing so. The death toll would have been 34 instead of 4

I think Petraeus told the truth in response to the key question - that Obama prevented the US military from doing the rescue that they were ready, willing, and able to do.

Peter King tipped his hand to that answer.

That is why Ham, Petraeus and the Admiral in the Med were all reassigned - they wanted to or attempted to save our people in Benghazi.

The question is, ‘will the republicans grow a pair and act on the information.’

“Barack Obama was no more responsible for what happened in Benghazi than George Bush was for Sept. 11th”

Responsible, correct.

But Bush proceeded to knock over two whole countries in retaliation.
The Obama perp-walked a movie director for a parole violation.
