This Administration has done all it can to NEVER call a terrorist attack a Terrorist attack until they are confronted by massive evidence. From the Underwear bomber, to FT Hood to the Times Square bomber to Benghazi it is always 'Random acts" and not terror related then within a week or two the facts get out and it's still downplayed. 2 embassies were attacked on Sept 11th. The one in Cairo had been planed for over one month. The intelligence community KNEW it was going to happen and why. ( Blind Sheik and Political issues in Egypt). We also knew they were working with their Libyan partners as well. The President, his cabinet and the Administration reverted to form and denied it was a planned coordinated attack and feel back to "Tolerant Islam was pissed because we are BAD people" bullshit line. The whole narrative of the BHO admin is that we are NOT AT WAR with radical Islam. And their refusal to accept that reality is causing us to fall behind and will cost more American lifes. |

The problem is the Obama administration views the Middle East through the lens of what they hope it will become, not what it currently is.
The whole "Arab Spring" notion that what is going on in the Middle East is merely the seedlings of a flourishing democracy is completely wrong, IMO. First, when confronting a truly mass movement (as the Arab Spring is), the resulting governments are much more likely to reflect the underlying values of the culture than the previous, undemocratic dictatorships. Second, while everyone seems to exalt "democracy" without qualification, democracies that do not respect individual liberties are just another form of tyranny. Third, while it may (arguably) be true that the human heart longs to be free, there is nothing in the human heart that typically longs to make someone else free — especially if that someone else has substantially different religious beliefs and values from you. Thus, an Arab spring that combines a culture that seethes with anti-Semitism and a population captivated (at least for now) by Islamists cannot possibly be good for America (or Israel) in the short term. It has certainly not been good for religious minorities in the Arab world. Much of the irrational exuberance over the various Arab rebellions rests in naive misunderstandings of modern Middle Eastern culture |

obama's #1 campaign point... "I killed Bin Laden! I defeated al qaeda! I beat the terrorists! Yay me!"
Let's take a look at a couple of his speeches (all after Libya), shall we? Quote:
Quote:
Now... Since it has been brought to light that it was no doubt, a pre-planned, well thought out, coordinated TERRORIST attack: Quote:
The single thing that he was campaigning as a positive just went away. He went from claiming victory to very clearly something still in progress (at best) and you are actually too dense to wonder why it is important? A 5 hour long assault that kills an ambassador and 3 other Americans and you think the appropriate response is to go out fundraising?? The fact that you don't seem to comprehend ANY of the reasons that this is a big deal is just... There's no way you are actually that ignorant. |

...and where exactly did I say they were?
Maybe you can help us explain why he took his go-to line out of all of his speeches over the last few days? Maybe someone forgot to put it on the teleprompter... Quote:

The United States of America has not had an Ambassador killed on foreign soil since Iran in 1979, when Jimmy Carter was President. We don't need to go down this road again.
Oh and... Trying to discuss real issues with Phil is similar to trying to teach a pig to sing. All it does is waste your time and annoy the pig. |

Not in the speech in question he didn't. He made a bland catchall statement designed to make his candyassed apologist administration look tough by saying "we will not tolerate acts of terror" but he never said Benghazi was a terrorist act.
And we seem to have been doing a damn good job of tolerating what even he eventually admitted was a terrorist act for the last 3 weeks. |

He used that line in his speeches as long as possible. Over the last few days... as in after the previous speeches that I highlighted... since all of this blew up in his face, he has suddenly stopped using it, including leaving it out of a speech today. Not sure what part of this is somehow beyond your comprehension. |

Same thing can be said about the Fast and Furious plot. He set that up to steal our second amendment rights. I'll give you one guess which right he wants to take away this time using that video as an excuse.
