Can’t wait for the foreign policy debate…if you think Obama had nothing to talk about domestically, this should be a hoot!

Obama has proven the ability to “talk first, shoot later”, and is being attacked because the world remains a dangerous place. Our State Dept. folks understand this. Issa, and others on “the right” don’t, even in spite of the “W” administration’s screwups on 9/11 among other cases, with far higher casualties. Wake up folks! Get rid of folks like Issa who SHOULD know better, but party politics for them are far more important than truth, safety or recognition of international law, or recognizing the problems THEY CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

Simple fact, even a full platoon of Marines couldn’t have defended adequately that building in Bengazii, against RPG’s mortars, and heavy fire. Libya IS still a “combat zone” with heavily armed folks around.
Jon Stewart paid tribute to our folks at State, and doing their jobs around the world. Issa and his “committee” concealed documents presented to them, and fabricated a political circus that insults them all, past and present. Issa has become disgusting, and the sad part he’s NOT “stupid”, just dangerous, and NOT “loyal opposition”. In fact this isn’t the first time Issa has cause thinking folks to question just what his “loyalty” IS to, it isn’t his country.

—so said dtroutma….
ignoring the fact that Mohammad and the Koran created most of the world’s problems of today…global Jihad…that Bush 2 tried to challenge after losing 3000 innocent victims on 9/11/01.
-
apparently the Obama defenders/worshippers are offended by Congress doing the duty to investigate a scandal worse than Watergate…no one died under Nixon….and the top level coverup by the Prez and the Sec’y State and the UN Ambass.
-
The Obama administration left at least 41 Americans in Benghazi (a “war zone”) with Al Qaeda growing and expanding and putting the US Ambassador on a HIT LIST,
UNPROTECTED from either a few Jihadists or the reported 400 Jihadists that carried out a PLANNED ATTACK on 9/11/12.
-
Someone must be made to be accountable….the ones who messed up bigtime….Obama and Clinton.

@dtroutma
What about Obama’s screw up in his failure to send more Security Detail to our Libyan Consulate when first asked?
Explain Obama backing Al-Qaeda backed Rebels in Libya and Egypt to help them over through their Dictators?
Explain why Obama failed to keep his promise of closing Gitmo if he was elected?
Explain why Obama is turning his back on our border with Mexico and his failure to halt the flow of illegal drugs from Mexico to our Country?
Why is Obama itching to go to War (his own words) with Iran to keep Iran from building Nukes?
Why is Obama itching to put ‘Boots on the Ground’ (his own words) to get those who killed our fellow citizens in Libya?

@dtroutma
Hello! Obama sent American Troops to help the Al-Qaeda backed Libyan Rebels over through their dictator. Are you saying Obama is loyal to Al-Qaeda because he aided them in over through The Libyan Dictator?

I keep reading that the ambassador was sodomized before being killed. I would like to know if that is true – and if true, why it is not more widely reported. It is almost as if the press wants to mislead us.

@What-D-Hey
And why in the world would you want to know that?
What-D-Hey said, 7 months ago
I want to know if the press is withholding information. Is it their job to act as babysitters and filters? – Their job is to report the whole truth – for better or for worse.
