RE: "Where is the president? What does the free nation leader have to say about this murder? In the vein of a true leader, what does he do?"

These questions are answered by President Obama in his remarks at the White House today. Click on the link to watch the video: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/12/president-obama-discusses-attack-benghazi-libya

Here's the link to the video showing Secretary Clinton making her remarks (currently on the home page of the state department's site): http://www.state.gov/

Also, contrary to what is written above, Obama did not go an apology tour: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/08/30/factchecker-obama-did-not-go-on-apology-tour/

Nor did he snub Netanyahu: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/11/obama-binyamin-netanyahu-us-visit?newsfeed=true

Seriously, the level of vitriol and misinformation in this piece is off the charts. Couldn't we mourn together as Americans for just one day before kicking the political attacks over these deaths into high gear?

I remember Presidents of old would put everything down to honor an ally of another country that came to our country. Sorry CJ, "too busy" is not an excuse. Israel took it as a snub. They will go unilateral and they do have NUKES. This is IMPORTANT.
He's got better things to do like campaign and go on David Letterman. He wasn't at the last intel briefing on Iran and nukes and word around the world is that Iran has said that if Israel strikes them, they will strike Israel and the US. Sounds important enough to me. But then, when has bho ever put his country first?

Here's a quote from one of the links you provided CJ:

"It was very, very clear that the Israelis had lost their patience with the administration," Rogers told a Detroit radio station. "We've had sharp exchanges with other heads of state and other things, in intelligence services and other things, but nothing at that level that I've seen in all my time where people were clearly that agitated, clearly that worked up about a particular issue, where there was a very sharp exchange. Rogers said Israel will probably bomb Iran if the White House does not lay down firm limits for Iran."

But campaigning is more important. Nooooo, he need to do his #@%& job!

@C.J.
You said "Romney has made it clear that he would outsource American's foreign policy to Israel".
Will you please explain what is meant by this and/or perhaps give sources to these facts? Thank you.

Like the article Cynthia...this attack burns me.

And as the only Democrat speaking up, notice how he has not come to the table and he does not even speak about Booing God and disrespecting the American flag. Like I said, I have never thought I would live to see this day in our country. Check those dates about how Clinton let things go on and on and on without any recourse until some another President had to clean up his lack of leadership while standing upon the rubble of the twin towers early in his presidency. It is a problem that so many still see their leader as able. He was in Vegas instead of putting our country on high alert. He has the nerve to come out and "list" his places where he had been as if to say,"Hey everybody I did the least required and then I got back to the important job- raising money to keep this job! He is just so sad, so so sad. The word God was taken out of the Democratic platform, he is the leader of the democratic party, he knew it was removed. When others complained, his party comes up with the "always easy to use" that it was an "oversight!" He is an oversight. Taking God out of this country is what the Muslin want to see happen. Keep you eyes wide open Democrats because the roosters are coming home to roost.

Cynthia here they are:
First of all- here's the link with all the sources from the state dept. to CNN reports.

http://www.historycommons.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_911_timeline&complete_911_timeline_counterterrorism_before_9_11=huntForBinLaden

Let's see...In 1991, US realizes Bin laden is a threat and begin putting taps on him
In 93 US realized that bin laden was a significant backer of Islamic terrorists/Bin Laden put on US watch list
Between 94 and 97 US actually supports Taliban rise to power
June of 95, US considers bombing Bin laden for sponsoring assassination attempt on Egyptian president
95 FBI begin a file on Bin laden, CIA already monitoring him
96 it become clear that Bin Laden will attempt to get WMD's
96-99 CIA and FBI have problems communicating
96 Sudan squabbles over Bin laden fate
96 Us asks Sudan asks Sudan for their files on BL then refuses to take them

An American involved in the secret negotiations later will says, “I’ve never seen a brick wall like that before. Somebody let this slip up.… We could have dismantled his operations and put a cage on top. It was not a matter of arresting bin Laden but of access to information. That’s the story, and that’s what could have prevented September 11. I knew it would come back to haunt us.”
Sudan expels BL, US fails to top his flight to Afghanistan, shortly after, BL aligns himself with the Taliban
96- 2001 Ariana airlines trains AlQaida as pilots
Feb. 96 – CIA determines BL is a serious threat – still not communicating with FBI
Mar. – May 96 – Sudan squabbles over BL fate
Jul. 96 – State Dept. says Afghanistan ideal haven for BL and that BL one of the most significant sponsors of terrorism in the world
Late 96- US confirms that Bl is more than just a fancier but fails to act
May 98 – US makes plans to capture BL but scraps it

QUOTE: Scheuer is furious. After 9/11 he will complain, “We had more intelligence against this man and organization than we ever had on any other group we ever called a terrorist group, and definitive and widely varied [intelligence] across all the ends, and I could not understand why they didn’t take the chance.”
Feb. 98 –US refuses intelligence that could have prevented embassy bombings
98-99 – 10 opportunities to strike Bl and Us doesn’t move on it
Aug. 98 –Clinton criticized for missile strike – accused of trying to distract from sex scandal
Dec. 98 – US locates BL but declines to strike
Dec. – Jan. 98 – Another proposal but not strike
98-99 – CIA and FBI - still no communication. Clinton actually authorizes the assassination of BL but language unclear in memos and agencies not communicating
Feb. 99- weapons deal influences US decision not to strike BL

May 99- US intelligence locates BL but CIA fails to strike
2000- Putin fears that US is acting helpless about BL problem
Mar. 2000 – US team makes plans to capture Bl in Afghanistan, but mission is scrapped
Director George Tenet and his assistant Jim Pavitt cancel the mission on March 25. Upon returning to the US, Berntsen, Gaston, Black, and Crumpton formally call for Lawrence’s dismissal, but to no effect. Berntsen will later comment that Black and Crumpton “had shown a willingness to plan and execute risky missions. But neither CIA Director George Tenet nor President Bill Clinton had the will to wage a real fight against terrorists who were killing US citizens.” [CNN, 12/15/2001; BERNTSEN AND PEZZULLO, 2005, PP. 43-64]

I hope this answers Brians comment (from another post) about whether Al Gore would have dealt differently with Bin Laden had he been prez on 911.

Hey Cynthia- I think you hit a nerve. Our resident liberals don't have any answers. Hey, I'd get tired of defending him too after a while.

Tammy you need to seek help with all your blaming issues, none of you people have know idea how the line of terrorism action works in our military. Cynthia the military line of command is very sensitive and every word that comes from the White House is well plan. My husband is retired military 30 years to our country, I trust our military these actions will not go unanswered, but our government and military plan attacks.

Wow....you Republicans really show your true feelings.

Mitt Romney's actions and statements have been condemned by both Dems and Repubs as wrong. His statements are lies and fabrications and twisting of facts...which is Par for the Course for you folks as usual.

You show your disdain...because you know Mittsy Flipsy Flopney has put his big foot in his mouth yet again.

Two things from this issue is certain: The guy who mad the film is a nut job. He believes a 3rd Jihad will happen agains the US. The second is that nutjobs on the right believe in non facts and lies and hope that us level headed analytical types will do the same.

Newsflash: It's not going to happen!

Btw...As incredible as this may sound....

Fox News (Your Republican News Source) has Obama up 5 points this morning in its latest poll.

CJ, you're so busy trying to defend your precious President, you're missing the fact that Israel is kind of all by itself over there. Surrounded by countries that want nothing more than to wipe it off the map. The only reason it's still there is because it's been our ally. Now we have a President that seems to show more concern for our enemies than our allies. They're not happy, nor should they be. Iran is building nukes, and Israel is asking for help. He comes over here and wants to meet with our 'leader.' Who should already be making time for him, but some TV appearance or stomping to keep his job is more important. And you call Netanyahu's reaction "petty"? Really? Seriously, have you lost your mind? Israel is going to go to war, because they don't see a lot of other alternatives, and it will pretty much rest in the lap of this President. I'm sure he and you guys will find some way to blame Bush on this one, though.....

I'm curious about one unrelated thing, though - when Romney wins in November and our economy is up and running better by the first part of next year, will that be Romney's or Obama's doing? Will the first four years of Romney's term be blamed on Obama - good or bad?

Libya and Egypt Embassy attack was religious nuts responding to a religious nut. That is what is wrong with religion.

Blaming? Look. No president is responsible for any one thing alone. Each president makes decisions and the subsequent ones build on them. The info I provided were from a very good source and factual, and the question was asked what led up to 911. The decision that Clinton had to make were hard. No one wants to make hard decisions. Bush may not have made the ones he did had we not gotten attacked. Although, the intelligence gathered thus far was passed onto him. I would hope that he would have said that if taking saadam out needs to get done, that he would have done it. Too many of those decisions were made based on politics. The best president is one who listens to our military and respects them, but the final word comes from the top.
I posted those because, speaking of blame, so many are quick to blame Bush when they need to see that we can pick up or drop the ball along the way and those actions have consequences. It would be wonderful if our commanders in chief were former military. GWB was the only one who had any military service in the past few presidents, and he was extremely respectful of our military, went to all of the intelligence briefings (unlike bho who gets his on paper and then goes to talk to David Letterman). I just want us to elect someone who knows the importance of his position. I come from a long line of military family's as well, who have served in the past three major events. I work with a man who was military intelligence for 30 years also.

Well done C.J. Thanks for representing the facts. President Obama has shown his usual calm but firm leadership in this situation and I'm confident he will pursue those who perpetrated the murder of Chris Stevens and other U. S. citizens with the same vigor he did Bin Laden. Stevens was a true friend of the Libyan people and a real American hero. He exemplified the best of American values and will be missed by all.

Booing God! Bin Ladin is Dead & GM is alive! Sorry your religious views are not being heard? One Nation Under God, Stevens is Dead and unemployment is alive! Human life is not up for exchange for any religious views! If you give him credit for killing Bin Ladin & he is also responsible for the lack of security around the world, & for three days of attacks. "Say Sorry & Cower" He did not speak. The vacuum was loud. A true leader spoke up & the only thing the Democrats could say was, "Romney spoke out of turn-he is a hot head!' No, the hot heads were those killing our own citizens in Lybia. He was a day late and 4 deaths short! How many times did we hear from Bush's strong administration,"Code Orange or Traveler's Alert or that our embassy were on high alert? Always & the democrats said Bush was being an alarmist for political reasons. Where is obama? Fundraising. Weak should never be mistaken for calm. I am glad people are finally seeing the democratic party for what it is; God hating, country weakening, money selfish, double talkers, hand stretched out takers. I once had a conservation with a democratic 68 year old man about $$. I heard all about how the rich need to be giving their fair share and how the poor needed more. "Ok, I give up!" I stated. Then I asked him how much more money was he willing to give each week out of his paycheck? He quickly replied, "NOT MY PAYCHECK, the rich man's paycheck!" Everyone see the one above him as rich! Cut Spending Stupid!

Evelyn, Mine is a military family. Father, grandfathers, uncles, & cousins proudly served and are serving! They are not n favor of Obama, his lack of leadership or his policies! Everyone knows there is a chain of command but when the man at the top cares little for his own country's safety and send out a woman to take his hear, well that said volumes about that sissy man. Now he will have to over react to show the 20% he can be trusted. We have been safe since 911! Obama has been so weak that to our embassy we are now a target and the enemy is hitting the bulls eye. Weak men make for weak countries. Ask any military man and they will say we are now weaker than when Bush left office and we are getting weaker without a solid foreign policy. We need a strong, forward thinking, business man in the White House , not a weak, socialist thinking, community organizer in the highest office in the land. When Obama said I AM THE PRESIDENT, choose me again I just LAUGHED! The best way to determine a man's future success it to look at his past accomplishments. I've lived through Obams's "accomplishments" and an ready to turn the page to reveal a new leader for our now weak financial laughed at, attacked country! Won't you join me? You get to vote in privacy. DO the right thing in November vote for a change and not the same old " Well it could have been worse" mentality!

Gee BC, thanks for the post announcing that your president reacted to the death of a great leader to bad he did not do it when the past few presidents would have done it BEFIRE not AFTER! The horse is already out of the barn. you should be happy that this did not turn into another HOSTAGE situation like it did when the last WEAK democratic president was trying to play nice with the thugs of the world! All the newspaper articles in the world will never be enough to change the day of death and destruction that was September 11 2012. Obama has blood on his hands and he sends out a woman to clean up for him. Yet, did we expect any less of him? God Bless America and God Bless those who are not trying to take God out of our country at any level.

Along with the latest movie star promoting his latest movie and the latest band trying to get some albums sold is another guest appearing on the boob tube tonight, that's right the weakest man in America, your very own President Sorry! Hey everybody, I am your everyday kinda, hang out with you, president! Why else would I be here when our citizens are being killed around the world. Yep, that right, He is on Leno or maybe Lettermen, when he ought to be cleaning up this nasty little international mess. Yep, that was a perfect example of the mindset of this president. We all know Jay will not ask any hard questions like the press core. How about leave the Leno show and Las Vegas out of your schedule, for a bit, as you deal with our nation's problems and issues. No, that is what a strong leader would be doing but a weak president heads to Las Vegas and spends time with Jay Leno! For the life of me I can not see why anyone would place their life in this fool's hands. Can any demo out there please tell me WHY and WHAT this weak link has done for this country to make you want to vote for four more years. Please tell me how you justify your party taking God out of your platform and then booing when it was put back in? This country was developed because of religious freedom and as One Nation Under God. Just help me understand how you can watch your party booing on national TV and still stand with the party.

Well, Cynthia, At 2:20 PM, as flag draped coffins that carried the bodies of U.S. Embassy attack victims were being carried by Marines, President Obama's twitter feed was hawking campaign sweatshirts.
Plus, evidence is emerging that we were warnd about this 48 hours before it happened. Might have been a good time to get the Marines covering our people on sovereign soil, and maybe getting those vital documents out before they were seized? Oh wait...got to get David Letterman taped before he goes on the air. Don't mean to be facetious, but I just disrespect him so much. Just when I don't think it can get much worse, it does.
I 'm thinking about starting a blog called, "Peace through strength" and discuss what is the best ways to approach foreign policy. Be thinking....

Tammy, It is great to see women paying attention to the failed presidency of Obama. As a women we have always watched demeanor, body language and have looked for people that just don't measure up or seem a little off, so we have safeguard our children. Obama fits the bill. He is a smooth talker and certain personalities just follow blindly behind his type with no review of his true actions. The demos will never go see 2016, or see the booing of God, or the lack of leadership because they have their identity attached to obama and if they allow themselves to see reality then they also have to admit their first voting for him 4 years ago and then by not voting for him again they would again have to admit they have made a mistake. So we continue to hear the He's Our Man! battle cry because they are not mature enough to admit they have voted for a man that lied to them. Sad. I have met former supporters that have said, "man he had me and I voted for him but I just can't follow his crap anymore." I have to say, I admire them for admitting their mistake and trying to make amends. One couple lost their jobs and house and they are just in anger that he did not deliver the goods" that he promised and that he just keep saying, "Forward!" Forward to the poor house, higher gas prices, and more unemployment! He is the president of 'Well, it could have been worse!" Man, what a line to feed people! The lowest mindset of all, "It could have been worse!" 4 more years and it will be!

"He miss spoke with out all the facts, nice try."

In that case, President Obama needs a fact–checker almost as badly as Ms. Montgomery needs a copy editor!

Cynthia nust have hit a nerve. No facts or two way conversation, just personal insults.Whiiiiich proves what she jut said. lol On with some facts. On Egypt. Mubarak was no one's idea of a great guy, but he was in our corner. He kept the peace with Israel. He suppressed the terrorists. So, naturally, our country under this administration stabbed him in the back. Now, we have worked to create an "Arab Spring" that has given us a fantastically more anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-al Qaeda Middle East. Way to go!

So, in essense, Obama owns this one.

So you guys blame Obama for getting involved with the Egypt revolt and you blame Obama for not getting involved with the Iran revolt. You blame Obama for not meeting Benjamin Netanyahu at this one request and you blame Obama for bowing to the Saudi King. You criticize Obama for using a teleprompter and you criticize Obama for an error when he doesn't use a teleprompter. You criticize Obama for not proving his citizenship and you criticize Obama after he shows his birth certificate. You criticize Obama for using I and me yet there are over 23 Is and MEs in this story.
WTH?

CJ - If you listen to the Democratic National Convention it clearly makes a motion whether to amend their platform for the convention. The one subject was whether to bring Jerusalem as capital of Israel and God in their messages. The vote was split yet needed a majority to enact the amendment. When the moderator said it passed there more many boo's in the crowd.

I am so amazed that our country can go from #1 to #7 in the past 24 months in Global Competitiveness and we have so many people that are blind to this.

"If I don't decrease the debt I should be a one term president". Obama. He knew what he was up against coming in. (I'll leave space here for "Bush's problems were far greater than expected) Yet he takes us to over $5trillion debt and says i need another 4 to make it right. No other business would allow a leader to stick around for a second.

It is not blame. IT IS FACT! It is not hate! It is attempting to protect a great country against bad leaders. If you were working in a company and the leader was not leading you in the right direction (ie. losing money and risking you losing your job) it would make you very uncomfortable and you would want either a new leader or a new job. Same here. I want a new leader.

Well, Global warming, let me guess. Iraq was all bush's fault I assume?
That's what we hear from your side. I provided the facts on how long it was put off to deal with Sadaam Hussein and then, wham - 911. My personal opinion is that the neemy can be put off with warnings and appeasments, but once someone gets into office that they KNOW will not tolerate their terrorizing innocent people they hit us. I have a feeling that if Romney gets the presidency, he may be facing something similar. Our enemies know the difference between weakness and strength.
Stan, gooe try, but why bother? I remember long ago reading about bible prophecy and in thessalonians, it talks about the last days and that people will "willingly" follow a lie. Why? Because they are deceived. Well, that's what liberal thought is like - willingness to believe a lie for whatever reason. OK - I mentioned the bible- conservatives, prepare for mocking and changing the subject for about 100 posts - lolol

Harry Truman said "Nuke Them" and it didn't get their attention. Then he said nuke them again. He got their attention. That's the difference between a strong President and what we have now. One that has time to go on Letterman but not time to meet with the leaders of our allies.

Not saying nuke them. That was just a figure of speech but am saying to not let them disrespect us.

WOW if you don't agree with the demos they; cry bad writing, HATE( a favorite of theirs!), NO PROOF (after you have given site after site) & finally, out right calling you a liar, stupid, insane, spineless coward, and of course the one that is supposed to make me cower in a bed with the covers over my head, "YOU NEED AN EIDTOR!" Waaaa Waaa Waaa! Liberals cry Boo Hoo instead of realizing they are following a looser into the pits. They don't even see the reality of their own writings " Any objective observer watching that vote could tell that people were booing because of the Chair's decision to pass the amendment, despite the fact that it didn't have the votes. In other words, they were booing how the vote was handled, not the contents of the amendment." They were booing before the end of the event they were booing after the first vote and lets face it 50% of the attending liberal democrats did not want the capital to be Jerusalem, as if Americans should decide which city another country should have for their capitol. Let's see how that looks backwards. Russians meeting today decided to vote out that Washington is the capitol of America! What? Yep, the demos are too busy with renaming the worlds capitals to deal with our; historical unemployment, history high gas prices, attacks on our world wide embassies, record debt, downgrading our our credit rating, largest number of US citizens on welfare, nay I go on???? And what are they busy with-Jerusalem! RIGHT!

Yep Cynthia. They can't carry on a two way conversation. Imagine talking to a person face to face and answering them that way. They'd be fired for talking to a customer like that. And I have a lot of trouble with my eyes and it isn't always easy to catch those typos, especially when I don't live on this thing and reply quickly as I run out the door to have a life outside of this computer- lolol
Anyway, Mike, let's see if we can 'splain this to CJ. Iran has said that if israel attacks them, they will attack US. Clear enough for oyu? Israel is sick and tired of wondering if we are standing with them anymore. Yes, that is more important than David Letterman. And CJ isn't even aware of what the booing was about? Read the newspaper before responding. Keeping up with current events gives you a bit more of an edge. lol

We need a President with a backbone and not one sucking up to the Muslims.

Kristin, You are correct in saying my comments are all over the place as I am replying to many comments that have been written in response to my first blog & to the continued comments that come to me via the computer mail. Of course it will look like I am "all over the place" as I am responding to many replies. That said, I have been at this blogging for quite some time & have noticed that when a liberal comments, they do the same thing. First things is they don't address the issue. Second, they will name call & call attention to spelling/grammar errors ( I always make sure there is SOMETHING for them to gripe about in my writing), I suggest all do the same because if you don't the demo will have NOTHING to comment on. Third, demos will always ask for facts & then will not accept them using comments like,"well that is from a right winged TV or newspaper of commentator as if the facts can come from their side! LOL Fourth, when two persons see the same thing both parties will take from a speech or movie an entirely different view as they are seeing it from their own perspective. I write for many reasons but one is to see just how off base the left is when they are seeing the same things as the rest of the country. They will say, "NO THEY WEREN'T BOOING GOD! In a country that was founded on the freedom of religion NOT FROM religion to leave God out our your platform and Boo when the chair tries to put it back in is "Twisted"

Kristin, I am friends with many Demos and have some in my family, sadly. If you do not like my opinions I suggest you turn off your computer. THis is still America and I am still entitled to my opinions as are you. If you do not like my opinion try as you will to show me where I am wrong. I do not have to have a BALANCED opinion, that is for weak minds that can not take a stand. I agree with you that BOTH parties are flawed by I find that the demos are harming our country more at this time and feel a need to comment in an effort to change minds, open minds and cause minds to look for the facts themselves by becoming more involved in the governmental process. I am not here to be positive about the demos. I do not feel positive about the demos. To write or act like I am a demo would be a lie, so Kristin sorry but I am not lowering myself to that level, I will leave that to obama. Glad I educated you to the words demos is is much nicer than DUMBOS would you not agree! Educate yourself and vote. Obama has had 4 years and if he had to turn in his numbers to a boss he would have been fired years ago. You just keeping in his FORWARD motto and watch as we go backward faster and faster and faster. I have friends that believe in him, I keep my thoughts to myself is I can but if they open the conservation then they are saying I am ready to defend my choice. Even the black ministers are telling their followers to NOT vote due to Obama's record and words. I'll take that!

Kristin, Once again you make my point quite nicely about liberals. Don't like another's opinion, no problem, simply name call!! EXAMPLE @ Kristin "l choose to avoid your poisonous, noxious vitriol going forward. I have a feeling I'm better educated than you are, based on your comments." Kristin, poor, poor, Kristin, you are falling into my very stated example of a liberal. I thought you would have something better, but alas you are a demo. While I have never had a liberal challenge my education there is always a first for everything. Since I refuse to go quietly into the night, you may spend your time guessing my educational background. May I give you a head start and say that my education came from the fine school that also carries the name of one of Georgia's finest journalist. While I enjoy all the rights of my degree, the best part of my education is to be able to engage in an exchange of ideas with others that bring ideas to the table, However, I do tire of those who mire themselves in name calling, and you my dear Kristin fall into that category. My mind is open to new thoughts, yet, I tire of liberal thoughts that are killing our economy and country. I write with the purpose of hearing from both sides of the topic. I comment to both demos & republicans so, in your own very description, I must be "Strong" & since you can only be rude with your name calling, well...that means...you must be...dare I print it.......... w e a k. Turn off your computer & relax :)

CJ, Please check out another view of the Booing of God. See how it looks like to 50% of Americans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eYF7j10dzY&feature=related

You have your side, please be open to what others saw that night. I was watching the demos convention all week, (keep your friends close and your enemy closer) and I saw the event unfold. I saw the audience of demos yelling and screaming NO NO NO! to leaving GOD in the demo platform. I wrote about this issue to open the minds of both demo & republicans. The path the demo party is going down is a scary path. To say it did not happen or that we took it the wrong way may plicate some but not this God fearing American. To challenge the capitol and delete God speaks volumes to the direction of the democratic party. It is not the democratic party of your parents. It has been high jacked by over 50% of demos that want to take it to a place it has never been before. Many blacks and Jews are leaving the party due to the party turning away from God in a very open way. Blacks have historically been strong Bible voters and they are leaving the party. Their pastors are telling them to stay away from the polls due to the change in the platform language. Open you eyes to the reality of your party. If you have not been at one of your parties conventions lately, it is time to go and learn where the party is heading. God Bless you & your party. Please be open to the site I have posted for you to view.

Bobby, precisely where the problem lies. We need a president who understands the nature of our enemy. Muslim extremists see bowing and acquiescing and apoligizing to their leaders as WEAKNESS and act accordingly. We actually enbolden them when we do that. They are insane either way and will attack over nothing, so we might as well stand up to them and show our strength. Reagan did. He made it clear inthe Iran hostage crisis that that kind of behavior would not be tolerated. What did they do? They let our people go. The last man like that was named Moses. LOL

Cynthia, for all those who don't unnderstand why deleting reference to God is important, basically, if you don't say "God given rights" then it implies that your rights are vto you by government. Which means, that government wants to own you. They can give or take whatever they want - in essense- you become the slave to the state. Now, democrats, I ask you, is that what you want?

I would also ask if they can now understand why we fight so much for this? Sounds like we are for America, not against it.

@Brian Crawford,
How about informing the unwashed why you guys accuse G.W. Bush of lying while you defend Obama on the apology accusations. Please be very clear how it is that Bush lied. Facts!

Cj, I am at odds when a person/demo continues to support a mindset that has friends of mine loose their homes, jobs, ability to feed their children, maintain healthcare & in some cases their families fracture due to the stress. I have watched college graduations knowing that these graduates have very little chance to become independent adults. I see needy friends that can not get the care they need because too many, whom should NOT be on the government rolls, continue to cheat the system & now want this way of life to be their way of life. Many things are wrong with our country. I know it can be changed. I've seen a president make it happen before. I thank obama for his years in the White House yet, I know we can do better. Today if you have a job, you are rich in obama's mind. Those that think living off the labor of others is a lifestyle, are wrong. I have issues with obama growing the government with his healthcare program. We can't fund SS now so why add another entitlement program? It is time for all good men to come to the aid of their country & vote for a new direction. I thank him for his efforts but we can't make this same mistake again. Every party is flawed. Each man & woman is flawed. Everyone who post here is flawed yet, it is time to change directions for the good of our country. The world now sees us as weak. We are being attacked & murdered at will, due to our leader's weakness. You have to understand your enemy to overcome him & our enemy get's obama. Sad!

Chris, my son was there. They did find the underground missiles. They did find yellow cake - a lot of it. Sadaam had already killed thousands of Kurds, scudded missiles into Israeli territory, and slaughtered his own people. Nuclear weapons, like any other weapons, are only dangerous in the hands of outlaws of which Sadaam was. Iraq's government is no longer hostile to America. It is grateful to us for freeing them from Saddam, who would rather spend money on palaces and yellowcake than on feeding the Iraqi people. Ask my son he was there. Oh, and he also was a part of a mission uncovering propaganda. Guess which newspapers they found? Liberal ones -lolol (This is where George will come on here once again to tell me my son doesn't know what he's talking about- even though George has never been there).
