Why aren't you angry?

US soil was attacked on September 11, 2012 and four Americans killed. We know the Bush White House KNEW this was a terrorist attack when it occurred. They had live time streaming video and nothing was done. Five days later the UN ambassador went on TV and blamed a video that no one had seen. Nine days later (remember the White House knew the truth) Bush went in front of the UN and blamed the video and expressed misgivings about the right to free speech. Bush goes on the View and lies to the American people saying we have no proof it was a terrorist attack (remermber the White House knew). It took 24 days for an investigation to begin after journalist and locals picked through the rubble. Someone from the State Department or above rejected repeated requests for greater security. We know that the Bush White House was told but we are told by Cheney that they (he and George) didn't know about anything. The intelligence community has said that blaming them to protect your political interests is not the kind of leadership this country needs. Bush is apparently trying to blame everything on Secretary
Rice. Did I get something wrong?

You were all up in arms when you falsely claimed that Bush was cherry picking intelligence, you claimed that Bush lied (and that was refuted), you protested when Bush told you things that you didn't want to hear. You were so angry then, why aren't you angry now?

Shit happens...



...I will be angry if Obama says Iran was responsible for the attack and goes to war with them on faulty intelligence.

Good post. If Bush, or any other Republican president, had done what Odumbo did, regarding the 09/11/12 terrorist attack, the Dimo's would be trying to impeach him.

I don't recall any terrorist attack on U.S. soil this year, fill me in on that.

I can remember one that was ramped up based on a fabricated story ...

...Gulf of Tonkin attack was fabricated to justify cranking things up a notch.

Pearl Harbor was the result of faulty intelligence.

Think there were some intelligence failures in the ramp up to the "Korean War."

911 was apparently the result of faulty intelligence.

Alright I'll go with that, I thought OP meant literally.

Things like this are bound to happen when sovereign countries are invaded and occupied.

I am not angry at the Democrats because it was the Teapublican Fuckheads who refused to vote to pass the added security funding needed to beef up Embassy Security around the world.

That weasel/ferret-faced Eddie Munster Ryan lied his ass off when confronted with the FACT that he voted to stop that needed funding.

And to the dumbasses who think embassy attacks are the same as attacks right here in the U.S., go back and read some history about the way we reacted to those type attacks throughout history INCLUDING when Ronnie Reagan traded weapons to terrorists ILLEGALLY re-enforcing once again the notion that hostage-taking DOES PAY for those zealots!

The blood of the victims of those terrorists is on the hands of those who both made and sold or traded them the weapons. Teapublicans are such dumb fucks!

During the intervening time -- 90 days -- Ambassador Stevens kept a journal wherein he noted that danger was noticeably imminent. Security personnel in Libya pleaded for addition security. The Libyan government notified the State Department that a uncontrollable attack was impending on or about the anniversary date of 9/11.

Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department withdrew U.S. security personnel from Libya to an "artificially low" level to appease the blood-lust of the Islamist terrorists. The only "intelligence failure" in this event occurred in the Odumbo administration which purposefully ignored what was obvious to security advisers and to embassy personnel in Libya. Odumbo, et al, should have taken a different course of action in June. All indicators show they should have increased security personnel -- not reduced them.

Once again, you're lying Little Blind Boy. The Republicans put forth a budget that reduced the State Department's budget. The Dimocratic Senate rejected those cuts and amended the bill. Subsequently, in a moment of bipartisanship, both parties submitted the Senate amended bill to Odumbo who signed it. Furthermore, Lamb stated in sworn testimony that the decision to reduce security personnel in Libya was not a decision made for fiscal concerns. So, Little Blind Boy, take your multiple lies and blow them out your ass!!!!

The Democrat's argument that the House Republicans cut of the embassy security budget was responsible for what happened in Benghazi is nothing more than a smokescreen to cover for the incompetence of the Obama administration.

When you take into account that there was additional funding in FY 2012 from the Overseas Contingency Operations Fund amounting to 236 million dollars for Worldwide Security Protection and 33 million dollars for Embassy Security, Construction and Maintenance, there was actually a slight increase in the net amount of funding available for our embassy security in FY 2012. http://blog.heritage.org/2012/10/11/...t-responsible/

Funding was not the problem here. The incompetence and misguided Middle East policy of the Obama administration was and is the problem here.

Only thing bothers me is there was another better defended safe house why wasn't the ambassador there.with the quick response team...

Ekim, there are a lot of unanswered questions here. And if you are looking for the Obama administration to to give us the real story of what happened here, then I would suggest you don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
