#2 If we knew where the AQ affiliates and militias were located in Benghazi - then why didn't the USA call in an air strike on those buildings??? Our PUBLIC response to a dead ambassador ... has been absolutely nothing. Bad - really bad.

#3 "We had two kinds of intelligence on one guy," this official said. "We believe we had enough to target him."

And the undoubtedly recommended the target be actioned. Due to the bravado on the Bin Laden termination, we know all too well who has the final say on targeting.

#4 Gosh, Champ and his administration are caught lying.

Well, their attack on the Second Amendment via Fast & Furious floundered in lies and they figure the First Amendment had something to do with it. Same game plan different players to take that out, along with any other annoying Constitutional obstructions to the Party's ultimate control.

#5 Standing by the narrative even after it was debunked was not only stupid, but dangerous. The Whore O' Crat party at it's best.

#6 Our Champ had a targeting window, he let it slip away in favour of the now infamous Susan Rice narrative. The Rice narrative failed miserably, the bad guys vanished; twin failures. The MSM and locals trashed the compounds. The FBI "crime scene investigators" and DoD FAST team continue to sit on their hands in Tripoli. More from the Lybian president at the link below:

#7 Now wait, Champ said it was not a terrorist attack. He was correct, from his position. He does not believe AQ are terrorists. He believes we are the terrorists and we, America, are evil. He was just being honest with the American people....

#8 Well in Champ's defense. It wasn't a Gregorian Chant. If you listen to the drums and tribal liturgy long enough....well. And yes, twenty years is long enough.

"No, not GOD BLESS America, GOD **** America."

#9 No, no you people. If there was a credibility gap we'd hear it from the MSM. Wouldn't we?

#11 Meanwhile the Hillary-Obama apology video is being shown in Pakiland which assures our ~~ally~~ enemy that it was not our government who made the anti-islamic film but some nut in California (one of our democratic satellites). "We will be sure to quiet him (send him off to the gulag) when we have er, er, er more flexibility."

#12 Shouldn't Al Queda did it be the default theory when we are attacked. At least until some evidence proves it wrong.

I mean if we were attacked by planes in the Pacific back in 1943 it would be natural to assume the Japanese were involved, right? We are at war.
