Are you sure they were not marines today? The proof came from your own source. You are too stupid to keep any of it stratight.
It's not even up for debate that Smith was dead within the first hour. Stevens went missing in the first hour and was never seen alive again. Any rational person would conclude he was likely dead.
I AGREE that sending the military in would not have helped Smith and Stevens.
We dont have the power to enforce the lesson.
All is not as it seems.
You make the best decision you can make at every step in life.
Very few of those choices involve a perfect choice
there are reasons Ike warned of a military industrial complex.
The spec ops forces were 480 miles away. They could have been spun up and there within 2-3 hours.
As far as I can tell, Ike would be written off as a "mass murderer" by bac. Maybe, the fuzzy bits of time would have absolved Ike. But that is bac's take on Powell, who is certainly worthy of some blame, especially for his lies to the UN, but otherwise has supported a judicious of military force throughout his career.
In bac's warped mind you are either Jesus Christ or you are the Devil. There is no grey area or any room for talk of being only one person struggling to make a difference within a bigger system and against competing forces. This is why he tends to prefer those who concentrate power in their own hands and dictators like Chavez, Quaddafi, the Castros, Hussein and probably even the leaders of North Korea.
Many on the right, Obama supporters and even libertarians do the same thing. All this dark conspiracy stuff is just bullshit and only compelling to nutjobs who are looking for the Devil. There is nothing to establish that the choices made after the initial attack were wrong. Shit happens. I don't need to criticize the administrations motives or go in and second guess how they handled the mess after the fact. I am satisifed that Obama is not some villainous murderer and that he was doing the best he could based on the information he had.
Obama SHOULD be criticized for going into Libya without consulting Congress. But Metoo Romney and the supporters of the imperial Presidency on the right are not going to do it. I understand why he went around McCain and the nutjobs in Congress. He should not have done it. Sorry, for the freedom fighters in Libya but we should not be turning our democracy into a dictatorship based on some outside hope that they might establish a democracy. I don't need to lie about how great Quaddafi and Hussein were either. They were assholes.
I support cumbersome and slow to act democracy, especially when it comes to whether we engage in military action in the first place. Once you are in it, it's stupid for us or Congress to second guess the professionals. We have turned war into an entertainment industry where dumbfucks imagine how they would have aligned all their military pieces to pull off these perfect engagements without any mistakes. It's rather sickening and has nothing to do with anything of substance.
AGAIN MORON... as I stated, I AGREE that sending the military in would not have helped Smith and Stevens. But it WOULD have helped Woods and Doherty. The spec ops teams could have been there prior to the mortar attacks.
AGAIN MORON... WHY can't you address THAT fact?
AGAIN MORON... pretending that because there was a lull in the fighting meant that there was no need to send in additional support is nothing short of ludicrous.
Yes, until they received an all clear, they should indeed have had fighter cover until it was over. No matter how much you want to pretend that 'everything appeared under control' (which is a complete fabrication on your part)
No moron, my 'claim' is based on FACT. The spec ops forces were 480 miles away. They could have been spun up and there within 2-3 hours. That is a FACT. Not opinion. What is bullshit is your saying that if they had made it, it 'may have only increased our casualties'... talk about bullshit spin based on nothing.
What a pussy you are.
Can't address me directly .. run like a sissy to talk about me with someone else.
What a pussy.
Says the anonymous poster that bases most of his arguments on an avatar and the persona he has crafted.
You want me to address you personally bac. You are nothing but a hater who tears down people that are far better than you becasue they have tried and came up somewhere short of perfection. You are a loser.
I already attacked the information, what little you offered that could be sourced. The rest you pulled off of some whacko left wing site and it is not of any value.

You don't have to say shit bitch.
I'm doing just fine calling out your ignorant ass all by myself .. and you doing a really good job of proving yourself to be a bitch all by yourself.
Got a brain .. attempt to challenge the information rather than proving yourself to be a bitch.
Oh really?
Explain the videos I posted.
I did. Rice did not make any definitive statements.
Your other claims are just a bunch of hot air that you cannot support with anything more than name calling.
You love dictators and imagine that if you were made one the world could be perfect. But nobody is ever going let you do that, so you can either get in line and try to help or you can get in the way.

AND THIS :
coming from Rocketman is epically ludicrous.....
He does exactly what he accuses others of....its the typical MO of the left on this board....lol
What is there to explain? Quadaffi had supporters. No shit! Really? Both Obama and Romney do too. Even the guys that lost in the primaries can draw a crowd. Jon Stewart, Glenn Beck. That does not mean that every one loves any of them or they don't face real opposition.
