The only thing up in smoke is our embassy in Benghazi.

It wasn't an embassy .. but the bigger question that NOBODY wants to touch is why were we even in Benghazi where many who attacked an killed American soldiers in Iraq make their home.

How did AL Queda become our friend and why was Stevens working with them?

Americans are dumb as a rock.

Because Obama "has alQaeda on the run!" Haven't you been keeping up?

Yes... he has them "on the run" alright... instead of being in 4 countries, they are now in 30!
 
When people fight for freedom from a dictator I think being with those people is what America should be doing.

This thread is NOT about Benghazi. It is about hatred of people like you for an administration that your man could not better BECAUSE HE CAME WITH NO POLICIES. It is about the racist hatred that drives people of limited intelligence to try to destroy and not construct.
BENGHAZI is a FEEBLE EXCUSE.
You KNOW it is. I KNOW it is. The WORLD knows it is.
Romney has already been labelled a prat by Londoners. He is already being lampooned because he doesn't know where Iran is. He is a fraud. The man whose faith he has followed was a fraud and YOU are a fraud for saying that Benghazi is a reason to attack Obama.Fraud, Dixie. You are a fraud.

FACTS IN YOUR FACE THAT YOU KEEP RUNNING FROM.



Democrats aren't slightly interested in what happened in Libya .. only in how to protect Obama from it.

And you have 900 military bases in 130 countries and you KILL millions more than Al Quaeda ever did.

The emails stated that Ansar al Sharia claimed responsibility. You guys were claiming it was absolute proof that Obama knew the attack had nothing to do with the video. But there was not even good proof that Ansar al Sharia claimed responsibility.

You liars have been making a mockery out of the deaths of these 4 people for a month and a half.

1) The Obama admin continued pretending it was the 'video' despite claiming they were 'waiting for the investigation to determine what provoked it'
2) The Obama admin failed to aide the embassy staff... again... the military in Sicily could have had fighters within the hour and spec ops within 3 on site. But no... nothing.

3) Now we hear that the CIA requested to go help and were denied.

Yet you pretend there isn't a cover up. It is you that mocks the deaths of the four by pretending the Obama admin is being above board with what happened.

This is the exact same foreign policy of George Bush .. and if a republican had been in office, he would have done the exact same thing.

So we're left with brain-dead Americans trying to argue the same side of the coin.

The vast majority of the conversation in this thread and on this issue is entirely brain-dead.

Benghazi Attack: Libyan Witnesses Recount Organized Assault

TRIPOLI, Libya -- It began around nightfall on Sept. 11 with around 150 bearded gunmen, some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants, sealing off the streets leading to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. They set up roadblocks with pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, according to witnesses.

The trucks bore the logo of Ansar al-Shariah, a powerful local group of Islamist militants who worked with the municipal government to manage security in Benghazi, the main city in eastern Libya and birthplace of the uprising last year that ousted Moammar Gadhafi after a 42-year dictatorship.

Stop right there .. It is well known that the so-called 'rebels' came from Benghazi .. as it has also been known for many years that Benghazi is the home of Al Queda and the world's hotbed of terrorism. It is also well-known that many of the fighters who fought against US troops in Iraq came from Benghazi. It is also known that Stevens and the CIA set-up shop in Benghazi among known terrorists and Al Queda and directed and assisted their activities in the overthrow of Gaddafi who was assisting the west in the war onm terror and jailing Al Queda terrorists from the very place the US set-up shop.

As soon as Gaddafi was overthrown, the terrorists were let out of jail.

Mu question is .. just how dumb does one have to be to not see the connections and the truth of our involvement in this nightmare? You'd have to be pretty fucking dumb.

Artilcle continued ..

There was no sign of a spontaneous protest against an American-made movie denigrating Islam's Prophet Muhammad. But a lawyer passing by the scene said he saw the militants gathering around 20 youths from nearby to chant against the film. Within an hour or so, the assault began, guns blazing as the militants blasted into the compound.

---

The witness accounts gathered by The Associated Press give a from-the-ground perspective for the sharply partisan debate in the U.S. over the attack that left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. They corroborate the conclusion largely reached by American officials that it was a planned militant assault. But they also suggest the militants may have used the film controversy as a cover for the attack.

---

Within 24 hours of the attack, both the embassy in Tripoli and the CIA station chief sent word to Washington that it was a planned militant attack. Still, days later, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, said the attack began as a spontaneous protest over the film.

---

U.S. officials say they are still investigating whether there is an al-Qaida connection. They say members of Ansar al-Shariah called members of al-Qaida's branch in North Africa outside of Libya and boasted of the attack. The administration has even said it is prepared to carry out drone strikes against the branch, known as al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, if a link is proven. But the officials also acknowledge the calls alone do not yet prove AQIM was involved.

So far, the attackers' motives can only be speculated at.

---

The past week, the AP has gathered accounts from five witnesses, including one of the embassy guards and several people living next door to the consulate compound who were present when the militants first moved in. Most spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals for talking about the attack.

The neighbors all described the militants setting up checkpoints around the compound at about 8 p.m. The State Department's timeline says the attack itself began at around 9:40 p.m.

---

"I am certain they had planned to do something like this, I don't know if it was hours or days, but it was definitely planned," said al-Haddar. "From the way they set up the checkpoints and gathered people, it was very professional."

The guard said he saw no protesters. He heard a few shouts of "God is great," then a barrage of automatic weapons fire and rocket-propelled grenades began, along with barrages from heavy machine guns mounted on trucks.

The attackers set fire to the main consulate building. Stevens and another staffer, caught inside amid the confusion, died of smoke inhalation.

The attack came from the front and the side. A neighbor whose house is on side of the consulate compound said militants with their faces wrapped in scarves attacking.

Because of the checkpoints, "it felt like our neighborhood was occupied, no one could get out or in," he said.

The effectiveness of the roadblocks was later revealed in the State Department's account of the evacuation. It described how the rescue force came under heavy fire and grenade attacks as they tried to leave the consulate area.

They evacuated staffers to a security compound across town, where they continued to come under fire. A precision mortar hit the compound's building at 4 a.m., killing two other Americans.

Then lets compare what we KNOW...and ask the questions.....
These are no idle claims, these are facts.

Drones (2) covered the attack in real time, with a LIVE feed to Washington DC....everyone
there that had the code to assess the live feed could watch it as it happened.....
Do you think Obama and the Joint Chiefs, CIA and others had that code and were watching
the attack as it happened ?

Obama said on TV that he gave orders to protect the Ambassador and his staff.....
Who got those orders and why didn't they carry them out.....?
Or is Obama full of shit in the first place......?
Someone must take responsibility, don't you think.

Were the drones armed ?.....No one will reveal that....don't you wonder why ?
If they were, why weren't they used ?

The attack lasted about 8 hours I think.....why wasn't a C130 gunship flown in to give
cover to those at the Annex......

There was a carrier in the Med. with dozens of attack planes....why weren't they used....
if only to try to scare the attackers away if nothing else.....

Don't you have any fuckin' questions about the way this was handled ?
Click to expand...

When did Obama say that? What was the context? If you think I am going to rush to judgment based on your foggy memory think again.

The attacks did not truly last 8 hours. That's an attempt to mislead and you know it. The initial attacsk lasted less than an hour. The mortar strikes cames many hours later after a long period of quiet.

There was no cover up or conspiracy. You have abandoned your lies on that and are now left with second guessing the tactics and orders. But, I am not a military expert and neither are you. You are an extremely dishonest person who makes a habit of rushing to ignorantly and inaccurately rant about the injustice of reverse discrimination. You clearly have an axe to grind against Obama.

brava, you are full of shit. About the only thing you agee with bac on is the stop right there. And bac's dishonest attempt to stop independent thought is key to maintaining his fantasy world of bullshit, where he is somehow not a part of the Americans he claims are so stupid. He uses the stop to parse in bullshit and lies that have already been discussed and dismissed. He is as stupid and dishonest as dixie and doing nothing but engaging in a fevered attempt to spin to twist the words of his source.

LMAO... so bottom line is that you are going to call anyone who dares question Obama and his admin 'stupid and dishonest'???

The person spinning the most here is you String. You are desperate to exonerate the Obama admin.... WHY?

Rice made the rounds of the Sunday morning talk shows on Sept. 16, five days after the attack in the Libyan city, and in each one she said the fatal assault appeared to have stemmed from a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video.

This is undeniable fact.

In an interview Monday (10/15) with The Washington Post, Rice said she relied on daily updates from intelligence agencies in the days before her television appearances and on a set of talking points prepared for senior members of the administration by intelligence officials. She said there was no attempt to pick and choose among possible explanations for the attack.

Intelligence agencies deny they ever blamed any foolish video......that leaves the set of talking points prepared for senior members of the administration by who ?
No one has come forward as yet to claim they made the connection between the video and the attack....ergo, it was bullshit from the get go.....
As a matter of fact the "spontaneous protest" crap was denied from the people on the ground being attacked.....yet that what Rice repeated over and over.....
she got that crap from somewhere....
What did Hillary claim the next day, 9/12/2012 ? the same thing ? spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video. ?

And them Obama 6 times at the UN weeks later.....and on TV after that.....

Susan Rice, on the September 16th, the president on the 18th and the 25th, kept talking about an attack inspired by a video.”........lies....

You are lying. We have already been over their words and all you had was a few quotes out of context. Here you are just misrepresenting through paraphrasing. Your little lizard brain has heard what it wants to hear and you reject any information that conflicts with that.
 
Now stop and think about who is defending a brutal dictator and who is backing the people seeking freedom?


think people think
 
Bush went into Iraq with shock and awe becuase the Iraqi people were trying to revolt against a dictator?


REALLY?

I dont think even Bush tried to use that reason even though he used many excuses.... um I mean reasons
