    Then why are the email saying they were refused help? Why did the CIA tell them to stand down and the two that were killed refused to do so? Why would he march Rice out to 5 talk shows to spread the bull(*)(*)(*)(*) when they knew it wasn't a demonstration. Obama is an inept pathetic leader of this nation, and it is showing the American people just how bad he is. At least they have time to fire him next week

    I heard it on the news. I don't care enough to research it. The Obama administration botched the Response to the attack big time. That much I'm certain of.

    You may not, but the Obama admin was clearly motivated to place blame on a video and not an AQ-affiliate operating in Libya. Keep in mind that the ambassador and others (Hillary) asked for added security and were denied by the WH.

    I disagree that it was a non answer. I told you already. He answered it clear. His number one priority was making sure people were safe.

    That's as good of an answer as any to me. You may see it otherwise and that's your right.

    You honestly think they had motivation to go after some meaningless Youtube no body? You honestly think they would risk their political careers for a no body? Wouldn't they have more motivation to pin the attacks on Republicans? If you're going to lie and blame the attacks on someone then wouldn't your political opponents be your best bet?

    When did he say safe? What point of the video? He said secure. You can secure a dead body from the enemy.

    He also said they were trying to get all the information. What information is needed to say yes or no?

    Look at my posts from that time. First thing I responded with was cynicism. I didn't believe Reid was telling the truth. And when Romney released his tax forms I posted disappointment and disownment. I no longer want Reid in office and I hope he is challenged in a primary and defeated.

    Wow. You're seriously irrational if you think the cover up was to nail the video guy. Try thinking.

    That's strange, in four years we are back to where we started and that's somehow good? You progressives are really something else...

    Yes, at the time, blaming a video was better than admitting that AQ had killed a US ambassador after he had asked for help. I think they thought this would all go away. The mainstream national media has certainly tried to make it go away.

    It's a math thing for them. They all love professing how smart they are, and yet they fail in remedial math.

    Leave it to a liberal to try and make chicken soup out of chicken poop.

    That's it? "So he got his information wrong"? Oh well an ambassador a diplomat and two navy seals dead our consul overrun, and in his explanation of what happened he got his information wrong. He was at the White House the entire time, they had real time video from two drones, they have real time communications with the people on the ground pleading for help, where was he when it was occurring? He said he knew about it from the start and gave three instructions the first being do everything necessary to insure the safety of our personnel. So who did he give that order to, and who did they give it to and who said no don't send help in violation of that order. The chain of command is quite narrow, why does HE KNOW ALREADY??

    You really think they thought an embassy attack would go away? You are really underestimating your opponents. I think that's your problem.

    wow. Yea, who needs to actually think for yourself when you have a corporate conglomerate with its own ideals basically filtering the 'news' so as to push its own narrative around to tell you only what it thinks you need to know.

    Most of the people here will at least back up their arguments with citations and studies (right or wrong), and disagreements and mudslinging is there, but at least their is some outside of the box thinking. Yours is the worst kind of 'political poster'.

    Couldn't pigs fly?

    What is the premise of your assertion that McCain could be lying about something? Else admitted you are desperate fishing.

    Like that simple answer that Watergate was just about a cut rate burglary?

    Not really a simple answer when the evidence was looked at. Given the evidence we have now I'm not sure how any of these accusations hold ground. But then again they aren't really holding ground are they? Romney's national lead is slowly widdling away. Obama gains more and more in the states that matter.

    You haven't heard? We have it, the cables, the surveillance, the emails, the testimony. They knew from the get go it was not a spontaneous demonstration about anything, it was a coordinated planned attack to kill our embassy people and take it over.

    They lied about it and Obama is trying to lie his way out of it. Why won't they answer the question as to whether he attended the intelligence briefing the next day, or why he didn't call for one? Why hasn't he fired the person who disobeyed his order to provide all the necessary assistance to save those people during that 7 hour battle? Where is his OUTRAGE???? Or was he the one, the only one responsibly for the decisions made?

    Candy did walk back her fact-checking interruption. Here's a short article on the topic by The post's Glenn Kessler:

    What did Obama say in the Rose Garden a day after the attack in Libya? ”No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this nation,” he said.

    But he did not say “terrorism”—and it took the administration 17 days to concede that that it an “act of terrorism” that appears unrelated to initial reports of anger at a video that defamed the prophet Muhammad.

    Simplistic at best, he was at the White House where they had real time surveillance, they had the real time cables, there is not a shred of evidence anyone believed it was a demonstration.

    And are you claiming he wasn't of the two previous attacks including blowing hole in the wall? He wasn't told our embassies and consuls were under attack? Has he fired the people who hid that from him?

    Given the evidence we have now we know they lied, we know they sent Rice out to lie on the Sunday Shows and we know his press secretary lied.

    And we know nothing was done to protect our people and our interest after the first two attacks and let those people get killed that day inspite of the brave attempts by the SEALS who had to DISOBEY their orders to try and save them.

    And Obama is outraged....................that is the behavior of a guilty man.

    Is that a joke? I didnt think it was in dispute that requests for security were made prior to the attack.
