I am not surprised at all you see no issue with his comments. bo has repeatedly stated al Qaeda is decimated which they clearly are not.

I would vote for Herman Cane, Dr Ben Carlson or Alan West with no hesitation at all based on their opinions voiced to date and all 3 are not even half white.

My opposition to bo is his socialist politics, his numerious attacks on our rights, his handling or fumbling of his duties as POTUS, his constant lying, and his failure to uphold his oath of office.

We will NOT go quitely into the night!

So your problem is with the word decimate? Which you take to mean completely destroyed?

The Japanese were decimated by the end of 1943, yet they fought on for almost two more years. We can go on with examples of this but it is pointless. By your own words, in the post above, the Obama administration is clearly pursuing Al Qaeda. That we have the knowledge to publish the facts that you posted about Al Qaeda shows this to be the case. Yet, while the president actively pursues AL Qaeda you call him a liar.

Honestly, TH, i don't get it. There is no issue here. Decimate does not mean completely destroyed as tens of thousands of our World War two vets can testify. IMO, obama is doing his job.

And on that note with regard to benghazi - It was a tragedy for the families of those who were killed. But, in a war, if in fact it was Al Qaeda that attacked the embassy, we are not going to win them all. There are going to be loses. There are going to be government eff ups. We are a target. We aren't going to get it right every time. That has been our past and will be our future. Why do you hold this president to a higher standard than those who came before him?

You guys pat each other on the back quite a bit,, but time always seems to make you wrong. Why is that? You hope it will be over soon with a lot of cover ups to save face, but it just gets worse and worse. The CIA witnesses are mad as wet hens about the BO and Clinton's claims that it was a rogue filmaker that started it. The truth is out there, and we all hope that you do not have the pull it takes to stop the truth, no matter how bad you want to.

"Decimate" means to kill every tenth man. It's the old punishment for mutiny. If the general or the captain kills them all he's got nothing left to fight with.

Good luck to all,

It might have something to do with politicians hiding information so that they don't suffer politically. Especially during an election .

It may have something to do with their voters. I know a lot of people who have contacted their congressional reps about Benghazi. I have done so myself more than a few times.

Since nothing was hidden your post is wrong.

Using overseas tragedies to score domestic political points is shameful. Perhaps you never heard of the Vandenburg Doctrine.

Let's look at what President Obama actually said, and not count on versions or interpretations of his words. Here are two examples - with links to the complete texts:

"Since then, we've made progress on some important objectives. High-ranking al Qaeda and Taliban leaders have been killed, and we've stepped up the pressure on al Qaeda worldwide. In Pakistan, that nation's army has gone on its largest offensive in years. In Afghanistan, we and our allies prevented the Taliban from stopping a presidential election, and -- although it was marred by fraud -- that election produced a government that is consistent with Afghanistan's laws and constitution.

"Yet huge challenges remain...."

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-address-nation-way-forward-afghanistan-and-pakistan

"After I took office, we stepped up the war against al Qaeda, but also sought to change its course. We relentlessly targeted al Qaeda’s leadership. We ended the war in Iraq, and brought nearly 150,000 troops home. We pursued a new strategy in Afghanistan, and increased our training of Afghan forces. We unequivocally banned torture, affirmed our commitment to civilian courts, worked to align our policies with the rule of law, and expanded our consultations with Congress.

"Today, Osama bin Laden is dead, and so are most of his top lieutenants. There have been no large-scale attacks on the United States, and our homeland is more secure. Fewer of our troops are in harm’s way, and over the next 19 months they will continue to come home. Our alliances are strong, and so is our standing in the world. In sum, we are safer because of our efforts.

"Now make no mistake: our nation is still threatened by terrorists. From Benghazi to Boston, we have been tragically reminded of that truth. We must recognize, however, that the threat has shifted and evolved from the one that came to our shores on 9/11. With a decade of experience to draw from, now is the time to ask ourselves hard questions – about the nature of today’s threats, and how we should confront them."
...

READ: Text Of Obama's Speech On Counterterrorism Policy As Prepared For Delivery

The whole "War on Terror" concept was misguided and counter-productive. Read David Kilcullen - don't take my word for it. It is obvious the solution to this problem is not a military response alone. However, uniting our enemies is a bone-headed strategy.

Good luck to all,

~The Old Bookaroo

Yep- nothing hidden. Someone must be getting paid.
"An Illinois Republican congressman told constituents at a town hall meeting on Wednesday that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton screamed at a fellow member of Congress two days after a U.S. diplomatic station in Benghazi, Libya was destroyed, merely for saying aloud that the attack was carried out by terrorist groups..

The Obama administration later acknowledged that reality.

But White House officials initially maintained that the deaths of four Americans and the firebomb attack on the State Department mission was the result of a spontaneous protest against a low-budget YouTube film that was critical of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
'Two days after this attack,' said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, 'we were in a briefing with Hillary Clinton and she screamed at a member of Congress who’d dare suggest that this was a terrorist attack.'
'Now we find out that while it was happening, they knew it was a terrorist attack. These are answers that we're going to get to the bottom of.' "


"....
A frustrated Kinzinger, who served in combat in the US Air National Guard, imagined himself as one of the four U.S. casualties in Benghazi.
'If I do happen to die in service to my country,' he said, 'I'd think that my country would not deny me the honor of having died in service in the war on terror, versus service in defense of a YouTube video.'
'And in essence, that's where we were leading at the beginning, until all the evidence stacked up that they knew from the very beginning this was an organized terror attack.'

In January when Clinton testified before a House panel about Benghazi, Kinzinger challenged her on her insistence during that briefing that the YouTube video was to blame.
'When you briefed us, you said unequivocally this was a result of a video,' he said during the January 23 hearing. 'I remember in fact, you got pretty upset when somebody suggested this was a terror attack. This was our briefing that we had. But we find out now it wasn’t a video, it was this terrorist attack.' "

Need a patsy to take the fall? This guy is PERFECT. Get HIM!!!!!!

Producer of anti-Islam film arrested, ordered held without bail - CNN.com
"Los Angeles (CNN)
-- Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man allegedly behind the inflammatory film "Innocence of Muslims," was ordered held without bail Thursday after being arrested in California and accused of violating his probation.

"He engaged in a likely pattern of deception both to his probation officers and the court," Judge Suzanne Segal said in issuing her ruling.
The preliminary bail hearing began with Segal asking the defendant -- dressed in gray slacks and a white and yellow striped T-shirt, with handcuffs and chain around his waist -- what his true name was.
"Mark Basseley Yousseff," he replied.
The judge then asked again, what is your name?

Muslims mad at more than the movie?
"Mark Basseley," he said this time, again without spelling the name out. He has used at least 17 false names, according to court documents, but is mostly referred to as Nakoula.
An attorney for the man then argued for $10,000 bail.
Attorney Steve Seiden said his client had always maintained contact, in person and by telephone, with probation officers who have been monitoring him since his 2010 bank fraud conviction. But the main reason Nakoula shouldn't be jailed, his lawyer argued, was for safety reasons, saying the anti-Islam film would make him a target of fellow inmates."

Whew,, we got him, he was an evil son of a gun, but we got him!! We are all safe again America! Now go back to sleep.
