Benghazi - emails expose Obama's "it was the video" lie
#14
swampy, I'm afraid this issue really doesn't have much traction, despite attemps to make it 'Libyagate'. Here are the basic facts:

Libya was a country in revolution. It's NOT stable. Weapons are everywhere. Anti-American Al Quaeda activity is very high. It's a 'moral equivalant of combat' posting for State Dept staff.

Everyone knew that. But you can't protect an embassy against a military-class mass attack like it saw. You just can't.

Nobody was surprised when the embassies were hit, and people died. Well, except the media, who seems to be surprised by everything. Ooh ! Squirrel !

No reasonable person should be surprised at a reasonably confused public reaction to the unfolding crisis. This ain't a Tom Clancy novel. It's real life.

I *will* point out to the assembled Democratic Party Faithful that when Romney utters something that is not perfectly true, you guys run around screaming "Liar Liar, Pants on Fire !". But when YOUR guy muffs it, the person who points out "Hey.. that wasn't true" gets attacked.
