I do to but I want it done before the election which is not going to happen. There are 2 separate issues here. If the admission comes before the election, then it is not going to shut down the affairs of State during the recession. If it comes after the election, then the GOP will be so thirsty for blood they are not going to address the affairs of state during the second dip of the double dip until they have exacted their vengeance. We will effectively have no functioning government at a time of great economic peril. People died. The left simply cannot get this because they do not value the lives of Americans who are not poor or non-white or who do not put their lives on the line for something they believe in. They cannot fathom what is coming down the tracks because they believe that Obama rhetoric and "truth" will save the day--not this time, not when there are bodies in the ground. The President should have thrown every asset at his disposal into the situation and chose instead to do nothing and then jerk the families of the fallen around. Eric Holder's safe isn't big enough to contain this one. The military and intelligence communities are starting to let things be known outside of official WH channels, and well they should, so every rock will be overturned.

"A president who had hoped to make foreign policy a central point in his re-election case instead is confronted with a stream of evidence that the raid might have been foiled with adequate security and that the story Obama and his team told the public about the attack being a spontaneous event was at odds with lots of evidence to the contrary."

Re: Military caller who knows his stuff says Obi ordered no response to Benghazi atta

This is laughable seeing the dumb ass right wing do all they can to make this into a real story. Of course this might be their last chance at defeating Obama and they are holding on for dear life.

I know it is tragic when our military and such are not protected abroad. Reminds me of Reagan and the 241 Marines killed in Lebanon.

the bomb in Lebanon took 1 second, there was no warning. the libya attack went on for 7 hours and there were security requests denied for weeks before it happened. The two are not comparable.

Take a look at the front page of one of the two "fishwraps of record," Adam, and then tell me where you can find an article on Benghazi: The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia

Could it be possible that there are so many threads because there are so few facts being shared by the Admin and because some of the information disseminated has been deceitful?

And is it just possible that not everybody has a partisan interest in this story but, rather, have an American interest in the deaths of Ambassador Stevens, his computer expert Sean Smith, and of the two former SEALS who died as heroes with no help coming?

Now Now Brown Cow. We wouldn't want the 13 Benghazi threads to bump the daily "The GOP Are Racists" threads because you know, that is more important than people DYING.

Look American...

I understand you're not the biggest Obama fan.

But I'm just trying to be consistent here.

In the same way in this thread:

http://www.debatepolitics.com/2012-...omney-some-gays-actually-having-children.html

There's random hearsay about what Romney said about gays.

Not going with that.

So in the same way some random guy who calls into Rush Limbaugh is not credible in this situation.

There are still many legitimate questions on what happened, who knew what at which time but taking this phone call at face value is just rediculous.
 
Re: Military caller who knows his stuff says Obi ordered no response to Benghazi atta

Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty earned their Tridents and their families deserve to know the truth. As the left likes to say, justice delayed is justice denied.

Is that right? How will they be helped if they receive incomplete and inaccurate information before the investigation is concluded?

True.

The caller described emergency protocol when he was in service.

So the logical question is: What was the protocol on September 11, 2012?

Was there a panic button?

What type of radioes were being used during the two firefights?

Where there phone calls made to Tripoli? By whom and when?

Did Embassy Tripoli contact Washington? Who,how, and when?

Were there 'Flash Cables' sent? To whom?


If GW was POTUS, those questions would be asked...'investigation' or not.

There isn't any comparison at all between what happened in Benghazi and what happened in Lebanon. How bizarre.

But that's okay. You've characterized your fellow citizens on the right as dishonest dumbasses who are trying to create a story where none exists. The story does exist, TexMex, and the details are unraveling the official accounts.

Not everybody is as partisan as you are. Some of us want the truth irrespective of where it ends up, and this is because American lives, including an ambassador's, were lost and because the Admin's initial response was obviously to dissemble. That should make any thinking person wonder just a bit.

"isn't much of a story" ? are you fricken crazy? 4 americans dead because the whitehouse did not want to acknowledge a terrorist attack 2 weeks before the election? Lying and incompetence is not much of a story?

This is a huge story and you blind obamabots and the state controlled media are trying to cover it up. Sorry, with the internet, thats no longer possible.]

Obama is done, face it.

Wait a minute. You think calling an attack a terrorist attack would have prevented the terrorist attack in question!? Clarify. You're saying those four people are dead because of phraseology and not because of the people who killed them?

It's sickening when a US president is responsible for Americans dying on foreign soil.

I have heard chatter that the 2 SEALS took 60 of them out on their own, so I am increasingly inclined to believe that a rescue could have been made successfully, so yeah Obama gets no more benefit of the doubt from me on this travesty.

Where have you heard this? I don't even know beyond reading that there were at least two others who left the CIA annex with the two former SEALS who died to try to save the folks under fire. Link?

I've heard an Agent David Uben mentioned. I believe he may have also come from the CIA annex. He was wounded.

You know what I mean. A president needs to think twice before putting Americans in a foreign country in a risky situation where their life could be in jeopardy.

I guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I said that obama did not want to acknowledge a terrorist attack on his watch just before the election, so he decided to tell the military to stand down from assisting the consulate and ignore its call for help, and then for two weeks called it a random act of street violence brought on by a video.

political considerations took precedence over his number one job as president, protecting american lives.
