The Bhengazi thing

Americans died. Should we know why? Yes.

Should President Obama immediately get blamed because Americans died in an assault on a US consulate?

Only if you hate and/or oppose Obama. Here's a history on assaults on US embassy's in the past few years. I don't remember the outrage from our right-wing friends.

June 14, 2002, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide bomber kills 12 and injures 51.


February 20, 2003, international diplomatic compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Truck bomb kills 17.

February 28, 2003, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Gunmen on motorcycles killed two consulate guards.

July 30, 2004, U.S. embassy in Taskkent, Uzbekistan
Suicide bomber kills two.

December 6, 2004, U.S. consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Militants stormed and occupied perimeter wall. Five killed, 10 wounded.

March 2, 2006, U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan
Suicide car bomber killed four, including a U.S. diplomate directly targeted by the assailants.

September 12, 2006, U.S. embassy in Damascus, Syria

Armed men attacked consulate with pistols and shotguns. Three policemen killed.

March 18, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
Mortar attack misses embassy, hits nearby girls' school instead.

September 17, 2008, U.S. embassy in Sana'a, Yemen
Militants dressed as policemen attacked the embassy with RPGs, rifles, grenades and car bombs. Six Yemeni soldiers and seven civilians were killed. Sixteen more were injured

Where was the "Watergate" investigation on these attacks? Oh, wait....It was Bush. We can't bring that up.

Fucking idiots.

Its been over two months since the assault on a US consulate, and our President ...President Obama.....can not tell the American public where he was while the attack was taking place. Or for that matter any other information about 9-11-12. Im open minded and do not blame President Obama for the total safety of every American, everywhere on the planet.....but after two months and still no information....Give Me A Fucking Break!

MCCAIN, GRAHAM, AYOTTE AND JOHNSON: Five unanswered questions about Benghazi attack

President Obama owes explanation to American people

Nearly two months after the murder of four American citizens in Benghazi, Libya, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, there remain many more questions surrounding this tragedy than credible answers provided by the Obama administration. The American people want to know what happened on Sept. 11, 2012, and they deserve to hear an explanation directly from the president. Among the many questions that still need to be answered about the Benghazi attack, here are five of the most important ones.
Why was security at the consulate so inadequate despite two previous attacks this year and the repeated pleas over many months from security agents on the ground and our ambassador for greater assistance?
On the anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and after multiple attacks this year on our consulate and other Western interests in Benghazi, why were our forces in the region not ready and positioned to respond rapidly to this foreseeable emergency?
Why did President Obama and his administration spend nearly two weeks insisting that the Benghazi attack had been the result of a spontaneous protest to a hateful video, when all evidence clearly concluded that it was a planned terrorist attack by an al Qaeda affiliate?
At any point during the attack in Benghazi, did any member of the U.S. government, including senior administration officials, reject requests for greater military and intelligence assistance for our personnel on the ground in Benghazi? Did anyone order U.S. military and intelligence personnel in Benghazi or nearby in the region who offered help to stand down?
How can the president insist that “the tide of war is receding” when al Qaeda affiliates have grown stronger on his watch across the region, including Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Mali, Iraq and Syria — and when one of these al Qaeda-affiliated groups has killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans and driven us out of Benghazi?
Rather than providing straightforward answers to the American people on these and other questions, the administration has been playing a blame game ever since the attack occurred. First, officials sought to blame the attack on a spontaneous demonstration caused by a hateful video. When it was reported that no such demonstration had occurred and the attack clearly had been committed by terrorists affiliated with al Qaeda, the administration next sought to shift blame to the intelligence community. Now the administration is citing a lack of situational awareness in Benghazi as why no U.S. military personnel or assets were called in to respond to the attack, which lasted nearly seven hours.
Emails sent from our personnel on the ground in Benghazi within hours after the attack began clearly identified it as a sophisticated militant attack. There never should have been any debate over this point. The administration knew within hours after the assault on our consulate began that it was a terrorist attack. Though the attack occurred on the anniversary of the worst terrorist atrocity in our history, and though it was preceded by two earlier attacks on our consulate in Benghazi this year, the administration did not have adequate forces ready and in position in the region to respond to this foreseeable attack.
Regardless of what the president said in the Rose Garden on Sept. 12, the fact is that he and members of his administration refused to characterize the attack in Benghazi as an act of terrorism for as long as two weeks after the attack. The president himself spoke about the events in Benghazi at length in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 25 and never once characterized the attack as an act of terrorism. In press interviews around the same time, the president instead sought to blame the attack on a demonstration against the video.
Ultimately, the reason it is so important to learn all of the facts surrounding the attack in Benghazi is because there are larger national security issues at stake. The administration wants us to believe it has diminished the threats posed by terrorism — that “the tide of war is receding,” as Mr. Obama has said — and now we can focus on “nation-building at home.” The tragic events in Benghazi show how false and misleading the administration’s narrative is. The fact that it continues to act under this misguided assumption is only increasing the dangers we face around the world.
We do not need an administration-led investigation to answer the question of what the president knew, what he was told and what action he chose to take before, during and after the Benghazi attack. The American people deserve to know the facts about the attack in Benghazi, and the facts that have come to light thus far paint a disturbing picture the president needs to step forward and explain

Yeah, you mean like the fairy tale version that the attacks were a spontaneous reaction over a mostly unseen silly video on the internet. Right? And they were still spewing this load of gargage weeks after the attack. Oh but wait a minute, Obama told us in the second debate that he did indeed call this attack "an act of terror" in the Rose Garden the morning after the debate before he flew off to Las Vegas for a fun raiser. Bullshit!

And when he is asked about this story (which is not very often by the MSM), all Obama can say is that it is under investigation. In other words, they are still developing their cover up story. The Obama administration investigating themselves is like the fox guarding the hen house.

Y'all need to shit the fuck up already. or we're going to take away your free cellphones.

Hey, Assup and his friends are just upset because they have to defend our dishonest, corrupt and incompetent President for four more years. That's a tough job. No wonder they are going batshit.

And your still the DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR Award Winner. Stand up and take another bow, DIPSHIT.

This is pretty selfish of ya Tim. You're going to post incidents that happened anywhere from four to ten Years ago, and accuse people of not careing because of who was in office at the time. But the Bengahzi Libya incident which was the most horrific incident on an Embassy is getting all the attention just because Obama is in office. Thats a bit weak.

Historical data bubba. Only stuff that happened in the last year counts in this witch hunt?

and the fact is, we lost so many thousands of Americans both at him and abroad under Bush that you probably need to justify the caterwauling you're doing now.

I never chime in on these political arguments but I do have one observation: it never ceases to amaze me how bravery, rudeness and utter arrogance is afforded to some of the posters by the anonymity of the Internet. I would actually pay good money to see some of the people who are particularly "brave" conduct these debates in person. My guess is that the worst offenders would have a hell of a lot less to say, and that is if they even showed up.

There is a lot of veiled racism going on here which is the hallmark of truly ignorant and inarticulate lumps.

Nuff said......

actually acp, The acts of terrorism listed by OP are acts of terrorism that just might have been prevented with adequate security.

I am sticking with the subject of the thread. You howlers can't seem to put shit in perspective.

The shit that's been leveled by "patriots" like you against the President of the USA is shameful and demeaning to us all. You are blind to the facts. Blind to history. and probably ugly too.
