Republicans Hammer Obama Over Libya Attacks


(Reuters) - Republicans on Sunday kept the heat on President Barack Obama over the September 11 killing of four Americans in Libya, with a senior senator saying the attack supported the Romney campaign's claim that Obama's foreign policy is "unraveling."
Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney has seized on the Obama administration's handling of the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, to try to dent Obama's foreign policy credibility ahead of the November 6 election.
Questions about what happened at the Benghazi mission surfaced in Thursday's vice presidential debate, where Romney's running mate Paul Ryan decried the "unraveling of the Obama foreign policy." They look set to intensify at the next presidential debate, on Tuesday in New York.
"Either they are misleading the American people, or they are incredibly incompetent," Lindsey Graham, a senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CBS' "Face the Nation."

"obama's foreign policy is unraveling"

Yeah, because apparently his strategy should be based on the 24 hour news cycle. I'll tell you whats funny. These are the same clown conservatives that preached patience when our men and Iraqi civilians were dying by the dozens on the daily for years during insurgent attacks on Iraq. Yet now, any bad event is a sign of doom and gloom.

Want to hear something else funny? Where is Romney and the ultimate poster boy for war McCain at now that we know alot of weapons are flowing into the hands of terrorists in Syria? According to Romney/McCain, Obama was weak for not personally dropping off a few M1 Abrams tanks, B52's, and a few tactical nukes to the rebels.

7:12 your argument will not go over well here because it's full of facts.

And so it goes with you liberals. Turn the argument back over to conservatives who are "clowns" you say? Yes, well, consider this FACT 7:57. When Bush went into both Afghanistan and Iraq he had gotten the required APPROVAL from Congress.

As for NObama and Libya - he went in WITHOUT that required approval and now we have an outright mess.

It is NOT ok for the POTUS to assassinate foreign leaders at will. Chaos and confusion is what you get.

7:12~Don't compare apples to onions.
The facts are the Islamic militants (terrorists) saw in Obama what alot of already us had seen-stupidity. It didn't take much effort to convince the Empty Chair amature that they were Freedom Fighters seeking democracy. Obama fell for it hook line and sinker. Then when he realized he had been taken he refused to admit it, hence the lack of security. Now 4 Americans are dead, one we know was dragged though the street and brutally sodomized. Obama built this. He built the conditions which lead to these murders. He owns it. He's a sick SOB that he would attempt to hide his failures in front of Americans safety. Anyone is quite vulgar and sick for not calling a spade a spade concerning Liyba and for continuing to spin and make excuses for Obama. Says volumes about your character or lack of.

829, Seems to me if Obama was fooled, then so was the entire western world. Along with the guys you'll probably be voting for in Nov. Only thing is, the guys you'll vote for want to give even more support to those fake "freedom fighters".

9:08 The entire western world was not fooled-quite the contrary. Over and over obama was warned by not only the GOP but TV/radio pundits and Middle Eastern experts, some left leaning. Louis Farakhan even warned Obama. GOP had issues about the contitutionality among other things. It was all about the terrorists getting weapons from us and also raiding Qadaffi stockpile.
If you were fooled then sorry about you bad luck. You need to read up on Libya's history.
It was nothing more than obama ignoring expert advice because he a know it all legend in his own mind. Then he goes to Egypt and shows off bragging on how it's a new beginning...Now it's a disaster, Sharia is the law of the land and he built it.
There is not ONE thing obama can lay claim to as being a success. Nothing.
