Obama has not done ONE thing that is Pro-America - NOT even 4 days before an election. I don’t expect him to in his second term either. If anything he’ll be many times worse. He needs to go.
The Taliban is in the building.
So said former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering
Maybe he should be the next Ambassador to Libya?
There was no surprise about the attack. There was no 'failure of intel.' The attack was predicted in precise detail a month before it occurred. The draw down of security had to be intentional.
CIA Sources: Obama ordered military not to help Ambassador Stevens
The failure to approve a rescue had to be intentional.
Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack
Keeping the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) in the dark about the attack had to be intentional.
Tweeting apologies for the 'anti-Muhammed video' beginning early that morning, repeatedly blaming all the violence at all of our embassies on the 'video' and making an apology video to air in Pakistan had to be intentional.
Stevens presence in Benghazi on 9-11 had to be intentional.
I dont know why but I have a dislike for people trying to kill me or force their un-reformed 11th century religion on me.
Perhaps it was [German theologian and dissident] Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said of the Nazis, when they came for the Jews, I didnt speak up. I was not a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, I didnt speak up, I was not a Catholic. When they came for us, no one spoke up. There was no one left to do so, Pickering said, paraphrasing famous, poignant verses actually spoken by Third Reich-era German pastor Martin Niemoller.
OK so now he is speaking up for people who want to kill Jews, Catholics and everyone else who is not a muslim (or of a certain sect of muslims)
Obama made sure that the “ UNIONS “ got a good deal on hurricane Sandy clean up work in New Jersey putting “ Unions “ above people’s lives who are suffering.... Mega Sarcasm.
Pickering is a sell out and rude, opinionated, old, old man. It’s past time for him to be put out to pasture.
He’s unfit to lead, let alone participate, in any so-called investigation.
There is n tactful or non-expletive response to this so....I just swallow my words and give myself an ulcer.
Well, it is nice that this old fart lived to be 80 yrs old.
First of all, had he been placed in the same position as Stevens at one of his assigned embassies he wouldn’t have seen 80.
Secondly, if he had been in one of the WTC buildings or been a passenger on one of those doomed planes on 9/11, he wouldn’t have made it to 80.
I find his comments in this article disgusting. I think he is disgusting. An old 80 yr old fool that doesn’t have a clue about what he is talking about. It is no wonder Obama and Clinton have this idiot investigating Benghazi. He is a fellow traveler, one of them and they are all traitors.
Fox News' Jennifer Griffin reported on Oct 26, 2012 - back when it was still believed that the February 17th Brigades Libyan militia was there to protect the Americans:
"...............Fox News has also learned that Stevens was in Benghazi that day to be present at the opening of an English-language school being started by the Libyan farmer who helped save an American pilot who had been shot down by pro-Qaddafi forces during the initial war to overthrow the regime. That farmer saved the life of the American pilot and the ambassador wanted to be present to launch the Libyan rescuer's new school." Source
I remember that story. That’s not quite what I meant by his presence there being intentional.
Well, from what I have read, Stevens was not an Islamophobe. Nor was Glen Doherty, according to his mother. They just wanted to free the Libyan people. I am not sure what that means. Are there any free Muslim countries? Did they have a model to go by? Do we kill a dictator, hold an election, and declare all these countries free? Define free.
Would the Muslims in the US be ok with it if we sent them all back to their native lands? Would they be free there? Do Muslims in the US appreciate freedom of speech and freedom of religion for themselves and their wives and daughters? Do they appreciate the freedoms of Christians in the United States? Who is phobic? Do Muslims welcome Christians into their communities and into their countries? Do they welcome Jews? Who is phobic?
How many Muslims were killed in the US this year? How many Americans were killed in Muslim countries?
was there ever any doubt that this investigation would be a total sham?
Hillary assigned the person who’s supposed to investigate her? Hmm that should work out real good for the Traitors...
Fox News, please do not stop investigating! we need to nail these traitors and put them on trial! he future of our country and our freedom is at stake!
If it was, you’d all be dead. It would be better.
I understand. It's just a piece of the puzzle (the story that was advanced as to why Chris Stevens was there).
Understood. There was also the meeting with the Turkish consul general ... for who knows what.
