    Ok, so what did Obama do that night? Timeline please-and from an offical source. See, you're convinced he did nothing so I guess the onus is on you to provide that evidence.

    Maybe he was smoking dope.

    We don't know.

    But we know the half Kenyan was not in the Situation Room trying to save American lives in Benghazi.

    You know nothing of the kind and, as usual, your racist retort is pure conjecture. You 'know' but you don't know? How does that work?

    The Kenyan is a lying, non-transparent scumbucket! He and The Hildebeast both should be at Gitmo, as prisoners!

    Those who voted for Obama owe the country an apology! His non-constitutional incompetence is totally appalling!

    We know he as nowhere near the action in the Situation Room.

    Leon Panetta said that he didn't hear from the half Kenyan all night.

    Dont be ridicules.

    Our Ambassador was in Al Queda controlled territory on the anniversary of sept 11th, after threats and attacks had been carried out against the british embassy and the Red Cross.

    Youd have to be a retard not to expect an attack.

    isn't it funny how armchair quarterbacks have all the answers long after the game is over?


    maybe what he did prevented lots of first-responders from getting killed, too


    don't you think he was probably sleeping, is that a crime now?

    you guys remind me of the birthers, one questions leads to another and you're never satisfied

    With all the early warnings, why weren't prepared in advance?

    You men smoking dope or watching a stupid escapist reality show on TV prevented Obama from sending the military to save our people in Libya.

    But real patriots would have gladly irked their lives in that crisis.

    Reagan may have learned too late that Arabs are far to backward to ever be civilized.

    That's a lesion we forgot in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    The Marine barracks was blown up in the blink of an eye.

    But if the Marines has been under attack for hours as the onus late in Libya was Reagan would not have gone to bed while they were being slaughtered.

    He would have sent help.

    you don't seem to know much about the history of civilization

    casper weinberger warned reagan not to move american servicemen into lebanon

    reagan didn't listen


    He said one of his greatest regrets was in failing to overcome the arguments that '"Marines don't cut and run,' and 'We can't leave because we're there'" before the devastating suicide attack on the lightly armed force.

    "They had no mission but to sit at the airport, which is just like sitting in a bull's-eye," Weinberger said. "I begged the president at least to pull them back and put them back on their transports as a more defensible position."

    See what I mean?

    If our illustrious Secretary of State at the time Hillary Clinton couldn't see an attack coming after all of the above incidents, then I think she couldn't find her own ass with both hands, a GPS, a road map and a tour by Huma. How can anyone trust her to do better as President is beyond me.

    especially since reagan was given plenty of warning

    You're comparing apples to oranges. An armed military peace keeping force to a Consulate staff and Ambassador. To compare the two is just ridiculous.

    Again, it was a bad idea to send the Marines to Lebanon.

    But if an Arab army were attacking our guys after hey were there Reagan would not have run away and hid like Obama did.

    No for the reason previously given. A U.S. Military peacekeeping force is the same as a Consulate staff and Ambassador HOW?

    Comical oversimplification. So I'll try to help you out.

    The Military are Army men and they carry guns and other weapons to attack and defend.

    The Army Men have guns to attack or defend an area. The Ambassador is there as diplomatic official heading his or her country's permanent mission within another country. What they do is very different from each other. If I need to explain it further feel free to ask.

    my characterization is correct

    you'd do better trying to help yourself out instead of denying reality
