'Tree' pid='11081' datel Wrote:Fine, Real job loss #s, economic growth reports, domestic policy, social issues, which tax level is appropriate, how much regulation is necessary, how much $ should one keep.....all that is debatable. What is not debatable, is an American Embassy and that is American soil, was attacked on 9/11, 4 Americans murdered, requests for beefed security were denied and there has been no appropriate American response to exact justice. In fact, Obama and his Administration to a man and woman, lied for the cause and blamed it on a stupid video and covered it up. How stupid does he think the US electorate is? This President has shown no class at best. You lefties should boot his ass out of the Oval Office. Watch this from your trusted guy Anderson Cooper. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/elec...istration/
I would argue it is also debatable just how much security is enough. Certainly there has been a debate in Congress as to how much money should be given the State Department for security. State's requests have seen the budget axe the past two years. After all, you can't protect every Federal employee and facility from every potential threat.
Tree, you and Petrovale undoubtably get your information from a very narrow cross section of the media. How any reasoned person can write "In fact, Obama and his Administration to a man and woman, lied for the cause and blamed it on a stupid video and covered it up" is beyond me. In fact? You have to be kidding. That is a statement of such gross ignorance I just couldn't let it go unchallenged. Let the investigations proceed as to who was responsible for the Libyan deaths, and the environment in which they made their attack. Calling everyone in the State Department and Administration a liar makes you look and sound like a real jerk.
Here's a link to a Christian Science Monitor piece on the State Department budget issue and a couple of people who voted down the Department's requests. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Backchannels/2012/1005/Libya-attack-Congressmen-casting-blame-voted-to-cut-diplomatic-security-budget . Sure there are lots of blogs out there saying different things, but I trust you can summon the critical thinking skills I know you have to ferret out a better opinion than the one you provided above.
