“There was a laser pointed at them by our Seals who were still alive.”
That’s what I’m hearing. They had the muslim mortar position painted.
Thank you! So, that certainly excludes appeasement of Islamist terrorists as an excuse to blame the video and ignore the attack. You’re obviously much more informed than I....curious what you think might be the explanation?
Sadly, I don’t see any way to push this story out to the general public prior to the election without the cooperation of the media, especially since DC and NY are about to take a major weather blow.
The principal of our military has always been that we do not leave men behind, period. Our fallen men were left without backup to defend themselves when there were resources available.
This is completely unacceptable.
Yeah, he used to do primarily local topics. He stood with the Philadelphia Police against Mumia so that was good. But I would say I noticed around 2006 that he was leaning more and more liberal and then when Obama ran and Smerconish started showing up on CNN, I knew he was a lost cause.
Actually, Smerconish’s show is nationally syndicated, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why. He has a terrible voice, an unpleasant Philadelphia accent, and he’s had his kneepads on for Obama ever since 2008.
Because of the nature of the requests, and who was involved, the requests, their nature, and the reason for their refusal would not have been confined to the State Department. Internal safeguards would have required that the security situation would have been the topic of (probably several) meetings of the National Security Council. They would almost certainly have gone into the President's daily national security briefings on more than one occasion.
The President, as a rule, has ignored most of these briefings for most of his presidency. [In recent months, it has been documented that he has skipped roughly 3/4 of his daily briefings.]
Because the claim that an al Qaeda (or multiple, al Qeada related) organizations were gaining a foothold in Libya (as they now have in several other countries throughout North Africa) would have been embarrassing to the President -- especially after his repeatedly claiming that al Qaeda was defeated -- the administration chose to cover-up the security incidents. In order to deep-six the attack on our embassy at least until after the election they made references to a youtube video which was the cause of a minor demonstration in Egypt on the same day.
In the weeks that have followed they have done everything in their power to blame first the video (for ~2 weeks) then the intelligence community (~2 days) then the State Department (~1 week) and they are now back to blaming "bad intelligence."
All of these claims have been proven to be false. Now the President is simply refusing to answer Benghazi related questions at all.
In summary: Four Americans who didn't need to die are dead, and we are still being lied to about why.
The great thing is that they replay Rush's show in the evening (9 PM). A lot of working people can't listen in the afternoon. WPHT's ratings must have really tanked when they dumped Rush, Beck, and Hannity.
But with 32 stations nationwide, his reach outside Philly is probably about the same as Tom Daschle's Tribal Network.
I voted today.
Hopefully our National nightmare will soon be over.
Excellent question&answer, Fred! Wish I had thought of it! ............................................... FRegards
Thank you very much!! You’ve explained so that my weary, sleepless mind can understand!
I have been, for a while. And I've noticed a big swing from the left to the right, at least in comments that get up-rated so they are at the top.
I don't know if the leftists have given up, or if they are being overwhelmed by the conservatives. But, I've seen a huge upswing in comments critical of Obama and promoting Romney.
