Aloha, I agree for the most part. It was a cluster fuck. But I think the way the GOP is handling this is more for personal political gain than for doing the right thing.

That's a load of BS. Overall funding to the State Department was cut for a variety of reasons but they had TONS of funding to address security problems at the worst spots. The State Department were the ones who decided it was more important to spend that funding on fluff rather than providing security for a consulate in one of the worst spots in the world. That's sheer incompetence -- or conniving to make political points (like how Clinton chose to shut down National Parks during the budget standoff with Gingrich rather than shut down useless unnoticeable activities like the Dept of Education, EPA, etc. for a few weeks) in which case it should be regarded as a High Crime or Misdemeanor.
Do you really think people fall for the dishonest comments you make? You attacked the idea of using armed drones to aid the defenders of the consulate with the claim that it would start a war. That was you being the "arm chair quaterback". When I point out the silliness of the statement, you pretend you were talking about "boots on the ground". An equally silly statement since we had CIA "boots on the ground" already but an intentionally dishonest silly statement on your part.

Agreed except the Bush part. To me sunshine is the best disinfectant. But part of that sunshine is we need to have an opposition that wants to do the right thing rather than only what is best for their party. You can't make it work unless both sides are trying to do the right thing.
I personally think that if we used armed drones that, that action would have been used by our enemies to do more damage to the nation. It would be playing into their hands. As to the CIA asset, I don't expect one or even a few guys lightly armed to save the day. I think that Obama was afraid to escalate, which in hind sight to many was wrong (arm chair quarterbacking)
nynco, you don't even admit that your comment was dishonest.
That's why people here can't stand you. Not your opinions, your dishonest rhetoric.
