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.

“Remember the media frenzy over Abugraib?”

Remember the media fury over Valerie Plame?

That was totally NOTHING, and one of our guys, Scooter Libby, went to jail. A republican administration should never again appoint a special prosecutor for anything.

Let the media whine and cry until some hurricane or tornado comes along to distract their little brains. No more self-anal prosecutors just because the stasi stenographers are having a hissy fit. You can never appease them anyway.

The correct question is not “Who let them die”. Obama has been asked that a few times and he easily dodges it by saying “We’re doing an investigation to find out what happened”.

The correct question is “Mr. President, did you prevent the military or CIA from responding to the calls from help from Benghazi during the 7-hour battle?” This question requires no “investigation” because Obama know exactly what he did - or didn’t do.

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

Based on that comment, you have zero need to wear a hat in the summertime.

Does the command, "Stand down" have no meaning to you?

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

Help was ready to go and, (based on the "laser designator" story) was already on the scene.

Instead of ordering help in for our citizens, the order was, "Stand down!". Only POTUS can issue those orders. Øbozo has blood on his hands.

Why, pray tell is Øbozo NOT to blame?

Sunburn? No worry...

...and he has survived here since 1999/01?

Something needs to be done about that!

Let me get this straight. You believe that Obama was watching the ambassador being murdered and did nothing.

There was total chaos at the embassy and you believe that a ship could have found the exact perps and vaporized them before they could bleed into the masses.

And yes, I am charming.

Anyone who does not believe that the press is most concerned with their own survival (which won’t happen) is the one with the foolish opinion.

Everything in business is about money. By the time one reaches adulthood they should be pretty clear on this topic.

If you are referring to the broadcast media, yes there is a left bias. Newspapers are divided and are mostly concerned with revenue.

For example, The NY Times gains nothing for being pro-left except for their perception of that it will sell papers. Same goes for the NY Post, in reverse.

It has meaning to me, but does not apply to the point I made.

All of this is meaningless to me. All presidents are the same. The only difference is who gets appointed to the Supreme Court, the only reason to support Romney.

Bush acted. I lived thousands of miles away but within an hour of the second plane hitting the second tower, planes were scrambled over all San Diego military bases and snipers were watching from the top of the FBI building. Flights were cancelled and grounded shortly thereafter. There were police everywhere.

Obama watched it happen. And he did nothing as Americans died. He did nothing while they begged for help. And he lied about it.

Can’t speak for Twinkie, but I, for one, don’t believe Obama was watching the ambassador being murdered. I believe he had someone else watching for him. I believe this because a)he’s outsourced his job all year to campaign full-time and b)it gives him someone else to blame. (Note his “didn’t know personally” remarks regarding Beghazi security issues.)

As for shortselling our capabilities...reacquaint yourself with the hijacking of the Achille Lauro and the killing of Leon Klinghoffer. Compare President Reagan’s response back in ‘85 (without benefit of drones, real-time video, emails, or the hundreds of technological and military advancements since) to the response to Benghazi.

The real difference between the Achille Lauro and Libya? Reagan took the title Commander in Chief seriously, as opposed to pResident Boxholder, who uses it as male enhancement when wooing clueless voters.

And, yes. I do believe we could’ve found the exact perps and vaporized them, and wouldn’t give a damn if they bled into the masses, so long as they bled out. Stay charming.

Provide extra security WHEN it was asked for. Send in sufficient ARMED military to DEAL WITH THE SITUATION as it was happening (and NOT armed with rubber bullets!) - Obama HAD to pretend all was well in the Middle East that he had guided so carefully through the blessed “Arab Spring”.

Another thing; open microphone and Obama assures Medvedev that he’ll have “more flexibility” (to disarm us) AFTER he’s re-elected. . . AND THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU?! You are naive if you think Iran and Russia are going to concede ANYTHING to Obama’s WEAKNESS; and he IS a WEAK SISTER!!

Worse, it sounds like there was a Spectre overhead that was told to “Stand Down”.
