Seriously Charles Hatch? This is how you see this? What is wrong with you? So because the story comes out that the consulate was denied help, it's a Republican political ploy? Wow! How sad a comment is that? What is so hard about admitting that the administration made a mistake? Or do you think this is Bush's fault too?

Were the denied help Terry?

Three facts remain unchallenged truths:
1) We had planes an hour away.
2 The attack went on for 7 hours.
3) No planes took part in the attack.
Therefore it is obvious that Obama's claim that the government "work[ed] to mobilize all available assets and move them into the region as quickly as possible" is a falsehood.

Jan, Shame on YOU. I included the link with the obvious intention that anyone would be able to read the entire story. What you fail to include is that the claims from the CIA spox are in response to the claims made by the sources on which the story is based. These sources were described on tonight's news as being "impeccable." Jennifer Griffin is respected across the spectrum of journalists for her long career at the Pentagon and reporting on exactly this type of story - she is considered one of the best.

This story is not now and has not ever been about an election. This keeps me awake at night. Can you imagine being under attack and calling for help from resources that you know to be accessible and be told repeatedly, "no"? What if this was one of your brothers or sons?

No matter what happened or who is ultimately responsible, we have a right to the truth. We all need to step back from the elections and evaluate this story through an impartial lens. Here is the email sent to the WH just two hours after the attacks began, while they were still underway, telling the administration that an al-qaeda linked terrorist group had claimed responsibility for the attacks (http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/24/us/libya-benghazi-e-mails/index.html). And still we were subject to the stupid youtbube video lie for three weeks.

You don't have to respond - I will not engage in a back and forth. I just hope that everyone, regardless of party, will try to bring some objectivity to this.

Hi Jennifer.

If only you cared about Americans at home dying of curable illnesses, past present and future, hoping for healthcare. That motivates me every day and keeps me up at night, fighting the good fight against folks like you.

And I don't think anyone really believes you care about the folks in Libya. It appears to be just a way for you to criticize the president at their expense. You are a professional right wing personality.

Nobody's surprised at your behavior.

You pull from one source half of the story, an unfinished story, and with posting a link to the half that denies the rest, clear your conscience?

I don't want a back and forth,I want the use of this tragedy to stop until the facts, all the facts, are in.

After 911 the country was asked to come together.... Why is this different?

Jan- "Time is precious, but truth is more precious then time" , Benjamin Disraeli.

You may find it an inconveniant truth that this tragedy occured so close to the election but the facts need to come out now. And the facts have been coming out. Just becuase it has not been reported on MSNBC or NYT does not mean it didn't happen.

SV , Jennifer and Glenn Beck, and Fox are hypocrites for attacking this President during a terrorist attack. Wait for the facts, it takes time to sift through everything, and even then remember that they attack us then gloat over your reaction.

Jan, why do you consider reporting the news as attacking the President? And as you say "wait for the facts". Tell us, who will conduct the investigation? Isn't one of the responsibilities of the press, aka the "fourth estate" to root out the facts? Do you think the administration will conduct an un biased investigation? Remember Fast and Furious, this administration hid behind executive privilege.

Jennifer Griffin from Faux News? Respected? as what?

You're projecting.

Turn off Libmaugh. He's not doing you any favors.

JIM:

You don't have the wits to understand what Godwin's Law is so I won't bother mentioning that you just lost.

But you should seriously consider seeking help for your obvious mental problems.

well atlint you dont have the mental capacity to understand that the obama Out House deserted our men in Benghazi and left them to die like dogs, so I wont bother mentioning that because of his lies and inaction 4 men lost their lives

and all my problems will be cured on Nov 7

goodwins law . some marxist professor got sick of people calling him a nazi so he made up a ''rule'' to deflect the criticism ...ya your right atlint I lost

You're projecting.

Turn off Limbaugh. He's not doing you any favors.

do you mean the trillion dollar war every democrat voted for ? what a good little parrobot you are, were talking about the 4 dead Americans that were left like dogs to die at the hands of the murdering muslim scum because your pathetic leader obama denied them assistance three times during the attack and you change the subject ...............sit , play brain dead , good boy !!!

JIM--you are a sick Republicant, check your own records, if you have a high enough IQ to figure out who stands on the moral high ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!

moral high ground ...is that what you brain dead obots call it when your standing on a mile high pile of obam crap

JIM--you better hope Obama gets elected--otherwise you will not be eligible for the free mental illness treatment that you need....................

FREE health care ??? ..........boy you are as dumb as a stump, there ain't NOTHING FREE about obamascare

Of course its about politics. We are about to elect the leader of the free world in less then 2 weeks and it appears the current leader of the free world froze when the 3am phone call came. The President and his party who were proudly proclaiming at the DNC in August that they killed Bin Laden, decimated Al Qeuda and, by doing so, proves they are tough on terrorism and deserve to be re-elected. They claim the Arab Spring would bring new democracies to North Africa and that they have restored US prestige in the world. The President and Secretary of State froze when their leadership was needed most. Then they, the administrtion, politicised the whole event by claiming it was a movie. Shame on them.

@ Salem

"it appears the current leader of the free world froze when the 3am phone call came."

Osama Bin Laden might agree with you. If he weren't dead.

How many years did our last Republican president have to get him?

Make crap up all you want. America has been safe under President Obama.

Obama 2012.

David, it has been widely reported that Bin Laden was under surveillance for many weeks. Thus giving the President a long time to make a decision. As the administration has claimed in the Libya terrorist attack it was a "spontaneous" uprising. Since it was "spontaneous" the President and his administration are expected to make immediate decisions. The reports are the President went to bed while the ambassador was missing for 7 hours and the attack lasted for over 7 hours. A US military base in Irtaly is 2 hours away. The President then jetted off to Las Vegas for a fundraiser without meeting with his security council. So, when a crucial and immediate decision was necessary either he froze, or made the wrong decision to do nothing.

Salem, exploiting one dead American at a time for your political ideology. Aren't you just a prize of a human being?

Breathe slowly into a paper bag...

Fear and loathing, hysterical scare tactics… Smells like a Republican!

Using Obama's middle name for emphasis, subtle racism… sounds like a Republican!

Using the word "research" to describe hastily gathered facts without sources… remarkably Republican!

And now for the facts.
http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/26/panetta-on-benghazi-attack-could-not-put-forces-at-risk/?iref=allsearch

"At a Pentagon news briefing, Panetta said there was no "real-time information" to be able to act on, even though the U.S. military was prepared to do so."
"

The official could not reveal the specific reaction times for the military's Fleet Anti Terrorism Security Teams, which are classified, but said "it would be physically impossible for them to get there in time to intervene in that attack from say, Rota, Spain."
""these situations normally deteriorate over time ... but usually in a few days, not two hours.""

Along with even more information showing that after being notified of the attack, they were not able to get information in time before it was over. Also, no mention of Obama! None.

"CIA operatives- Navy SEALS were denied Urgent Military Back-Up request, (3) times during Libya attract, from the *Situation Room and Oval Office at the White House!!! "
Not according to the CIA. The CIA says that never happened.
But you know that, don't you?

Susan, wake up. your being played by your Faux News master.

So sad to see you right wingers manipulate this poor man's grief for political gain.

"So sad to see you right wingers manipulate this poor man's grief for political gain."

Kinda like the left wingers manipulated Cindy Sheehan's grief--

Yes, The left has a fake news channel dedicated to exploiting Cindy Sheehan like Faux News is exploiting Charles Woods......

Right the MSM and the left news channels never exploited Cindy Sheehan's grief--they were just giving updates of her Texas Camping Trip.

delusional comparison.

"delusional comparison." --- maybe in your fantasy world Mr. Healey

"'So sad to see you right wingers manipulate this poor man's grief for political gain.'

'Kinda like the left wingers manipulated Cindy Sheehan's grief--'"

Sheehan was her own woman. She was driven by outrage over her son's needless death. She wasn't "manipulated" in any way.

Terri Schaivo's situation was ripe for exploitation, however. Remember? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_involvement_in_the_Terri_Schiavo_case

The GOP has no shame.

Obama 2012.

The problem is that Obama was supposed to change the way things were done not repeat Bush's mistakes!

So do you expect Mitt Romney to be better or worse at foreign policy than Bush?

Republican's Donald Trump stunt was a real doozy.....

Said the guy who attacks every effort of the President of the United States 400 times a day.....

If he was like the Republicans we would have started a war in Libya already.
He hasn't lied about the savings we will realize from "ObamaCare"
He hasn't lied about this incident.
Sorry, you haven't a clue about which you speak.

Mike, did you forget that Libya IS Obama's war? The Republican's were against going into Libya, citing that it was still not sure if groups with terrorist ties were among the rebels. As it turns out, they were; and the weapons we supplied were turned against us!!! Obama has stated that he did not have the intelligence that there was a threat to the consulate, yet there is now evidence being uncovered that shows that several requests were made for security both before the attack and for military assistance afterwards. If Obama is not lying, the only other possibility is that he and his administration were incompetent!

You sound like a 9/11 conspiracist Lorna.

Is that all you have Mike? What do you say about the requests for help that are surfacing?

I say they are all turning out to be complete manufactured fantasy.

Did your research show you how President Barack Obama cut your taxes?

Did your research show you how Mitt Romney's "promises" will increase the deficit more than President Barack Obama did?

Did your research turn up Mitt Romney's pledge to ignore foreign policy when elected?

Oh, I see...the answer was yes and there are no dead Americans! Get real!!! The requests for help, both before and after the attack began were ignored.

Which 9/11 are you talking about Lorna, the one in 2001?

I am talking about the same 9/11 everyone else is talking about, Mike. Don't be so facetious! There is a big difference from knowing the exact location of terrorist activity right before the day we need to be on our highest alert, and not having any idea when and where an attack will take place. Also, this far along after the first 9/11 we were already bombing the terrorists in Afghanistan.

You sound an awful lot like those 9/11 conspiracy theorists. So willing to take hearsay as fact, so willing to react before knowing, so wanting to blame without facts.

Well, there was that biggest-storm-on-record. It may have complicated things. Possibly.

Rooting for failure. That's the GOP way. Rock on, patriot.

Obama 2012.

Absolutely sickening that these lives may have been saved had this administration provided the protection long before the six hours they were begging for it. Unfortunately, it would've proved Al Quaida is not on the run. Sad statement for this administration. Nixon resigned for far less.

I remember Nance,
That presidential brief titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.,” and all the others?....
What could have been if Bush had only done something......

Think about the utter nonsense you're spewing for a minute.
Go ahead, we'll wait.
You're saying our military let people die instead of helping them.
Why do you hate our military?

The GOP feeds on the dead. Nothing is off limits. Nothing is too tragic to be exploited.

Remember Mitt's chilling smirk as he walked away from his shameless press conference hours after the attack? http://www.politicususa.com/hell-mitt-romney-smiling-about.html

And they'll get what they need.

Mitt Romney will pile up $5k worth of stuff from WalMart, then let his supporters grab stuff from the pile and hand it back to him on camera - for which Mitt will thank them profusely. http://www.politicususa.com/romneys-pretense-caring-storm-victims-just-grab-something.html

Then it'll be sent to a swing state, maybe.

Rooting for bad news. Exploiting the dead and suffering. That's the GOP way.

Obama 2012.

"Following Hurricane Katrina seven years ago, FEMA became a national punching bag, ridiculed for its slow and cumbersome response to the disaster along the Gulf Coast.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its administrator W. Craig Fugate are garnering more positive reviews from public officials in northeastern states hit by the superstorm, as well as from disaster-management experts. 'The president has been outstanding in this and so have the folks at FEMA,' New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Tuesday on NBC’s 'Today' show."

Obama 2012.

David
Thanks for the links D.V.
As we see real hero's at work helping those in need in this time of national
disaster: firefighters, the National Guard, policemen, the red cross ect. The story
of the nurses carrying infants from the powerless hospital to safety was particularly touching.
It is also important to understand what the federal government is capable of
when it is in the right hands.
After President Obama named Craig Fugate
to lead FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] that agency has been
turned upside down. Under the leadership of Fugate, FEMA has responded
professionally and admirably to disasters from the floods in the south, to the devastating killer tornados, to Hurricane Irene, and now Hurricane Sandy. Fugate came in to the job with a long and proven résumé in disaster preparation. Compare that to the nightmare Michael Brown [who was a horse trainer!] and the results of that FEMA during Katrina! Craig Fugate really is doing "one heck of a job"!!!!!!!!!!! Craig Fugate and the revitalized FEMA is just one more DARNED GOOD REASON TO VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA

So? There was a hurricane of historic proportions. The President is to blame for the damage?
