Apparently the consulate in Benghazi is not safe enough for the FBI to enter, although there are hundreds of reporters milling around it. It's strange that during the days preceeding 9/11 it was deemed so safe that there was no effective security staff present. I guess the administration is afraid of the truth, something that will expose the naivete' and incompetence of the obama administration. Another thing, our UN ambassador Susan Rice is either lying about what happened there or is totally incompetent. Either way she should be terminated!! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS COVER UP!!! |

Should have Bush been impeached after getting thousands killed in Iraq with no weapons of destruction were found. Security and intelligence was a little faulty there also wasn't it Labrat? And you are jumping up and down with one death, what about the thousands not counting the maimed in Iraq. But that is alright isn't it?

Iraq was a crime and we should have a trial for everyone involved - instead we obediently agreed to it by paying for it in lives and money. but we protested and the Iraq war happened anyway because American people's voice doesn't matter-what matters is their money and young people to die for greedy few. |

And now the Right is hollering for war again. Without knowing who the enemy is or a clear goal in sight. All they know the enemy is Islam and that is bigger than their little minds can comprehend. More than they can even imagine. They will be fighting a long and costly war that in the end will ruin a great country. While China and Russia sit back and laugh. And when the end comes it will be of our own doing not Islam. In Response to Re: The Benghazi Situation: In Response to Re: The Benghazi Situation : no death is alright.

Requests by those responsible for consulate security for greater security were denied by the State Department. They knew withinn 24 hours that it was a terrorist attack, but kept denying it because it would make obama look like the incomnpetent that he is.

( I've seen the photos --the place is bombed out----DESTROYED__DEMOLISHED.) The FBI team has conducted interviews of State Department and U.S. government personnel who were in Libya at the time of the attack, National Security Analyst Fran Townsend (CNN) said, but the FBI's request to directly question individuals who Libyan authorities have in custody was denied. Libyan officials have said they have brought in dozens of people for questioning since the September 11 attack, which officials said occurred amid a large protest about a U.S.-made film that mocked the Muslim Prophet Mohammed .

Pray tell, why did we get involved in Libya, a country that siurrendered its chemical weapons and was causing us no harm?? There is always a vacuum and in the case of isalamic countries it is usually filled by isalmaists-those that hate us!!! You keep harping back to Bush and Iraq. I agree, that is something we should not have gotten involved in. We upset the balance of power. We should have let Iran and Iraq continue their war of anhilation, something good muslims do when there are no infidels (such as Jews or Coptic Christians around to kill).

Quadaffi was a terrorist before anyone else was. Reagan tried to liquidate him. He was a threat long before anyone else bringing down commercial airlines. As for Bush made more terrorist by his failed policies in the Middle East than anyone of them did. And we are still feeling his legacy. What you won't admit is Lybia was a terrorist state before the Govt. was over thrown and the people now support the U.S. but people like you and your way of thinking will turn them against us with your hate for anything different than yourself.

Was he a threat to the US when we spent $2B to bomb his positions?? Did the administration do a study on who would repalce Khaddafi?
