Obama held no presidential intelligence briefings, ignored warnings before attacks

Obama held no presidential intelligence breifings, ignored warnings before attacks. Emabassy staff knew something was up: staffer saw a man casing the building, taking pictures. Evidence attacks were coordinated. Warnings ignored. Obama was too busy with more important things (being interviewed by a radio guy named “Pimp with a Limp”) to be bothered. Must be Bush’s fault.

  • "Dear Leader" hasn't met with his Jobs Council in more then 6 months, why bother with intelligence briefs? All the useless ass kissers that he has on his staff tells him how brilliant he is, he must think he's telepathic.

  • I am SO angry! Our soil was breached and FOUR Americans were assassinated, three more injured, and nothing is being done!

    Even getting the news was ridiculous! I heard about the breach last night, and then I heard it was one state dept worker killed. This morning it finally started to unfold - it seems only grudgingly by the media! It is barely even mentioned on any of the top media headlines. This is a BIG DEAL!! And then to have the WH come out and LIE about it! Clinton saying that "our friends" in Libya were taking him to the hospital - despite PICTURES of his CORPSE being carried down the street as a testament to the fact that the white "devil" was destroyed! It's beyond sickening! This is a BIG FREAKING DEAL!

    So, Obama is flying out to Vegas for a fundraidser? He and his media posse have pointed the finger at Romney (who looked and sounded PRESIDENTIAL as opposed to President Weenie) and are trying to just brush this off as maybe some partiers went too far in their revelry - they bad! or something. NO! THIS IS TERRORISM!

    Our stupid country is checking Granny's colostomy bag before she gets on the plane, Obama is skipping his weekly terrorism updates for his fund-raising gigs, and SEVEN Americans are attacked - and no one even cares! But we at least all know about a Kardashian's boob job.

    I am really ticked off about this! (Sorry for all the caps)

    • GO have a cup of tea. Camomile maybe. It will help lower your blood pressure before your head explodes! I agree with you, but I refuse to be one of the statistics.

    • A little more then nothing will be done. I assume this is Al Qaeda, and we've gotten quite good at killing them.. Just days ago a drone turned Abu Yahya al-Libi into roadkill in Yemen. Poor them guys

      Elite Marines have already been dispatched to protect our resources. Yes, Marines are generally elite, but these are FAST* and built for this sort of thing.. This Signal Corps guy tips his hat..

      We have allies: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/does-not-represent-us-moving-photos-pro-american-rallies-libya/56803/ Look at that kid.

      And remember, asshats like Terry Jones make life even harder for Coptic Christians in Egypt.. They've figured out how to hunker down for centuries, much like Jews in Europe so long ago

      *FAST = Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team

      • I am pleased to hear Marines are on the way. Why were they not already stationed at the embassies? Somebody's got some 'splainin' to do!

  • Lack of leadership or flat out complacency is all that can be said. Damnit history has repeated itself and certain elected officials are responsible for what happened yesterday in Cario and Benghazi.

  • Mister Zero possibly thinks the lesson here is that movie makers should think twice before insulting the religion of peace.

  • Unbelievable, two embassies attacked, our ambassador (and three others)murdered and we apoligize to the attackers. Does anyone doubt these attacks were coordinated?

    But the slavish MSM choses to attacks Romney rather than the terrorists.

    Obama has to be defeated in November, this nation will not survive four more years of his mean-spirited incompetence. Meanwhile, take your "Arab Spring" Barry and shove it up you *ss.

    • I'm not sure it is incompetence. He'll come out with a few mealy mouthed words that sort of, kind of, sounds like it might maybe condemn these acts but certainly won't offend any of the nutjobs. And of course, the media will slobber all over themselves oooohing and ahhhing over what great leadership this spineless limp dick is showing.

      • I believe Obama is incompetent but he is also lazy, thin skinned, narcissistic and carries a grudge against both Israel and the United States.

        He's also a socialist, perhaps a communist.
