Al Qaeda Behind Libyan Consulate Attack

[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"]

Mexico, one of the most corrupt and dangerous countries in the entire world..I can't blame him.

Regardless, nice to see you dodge the issue. Obama has not done a good job defending America from terrorism. Simple as that. I find it hilarious how voters tend forgot about happened in Christmas 09.

People don't, thankfully. Any September 01 was the first major terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Things were a lot different before it, terrorism was on the back of people's minds. in 2009 (and today) terrorism was in everybody's mind. By then, all Americans clearly knew that it was a very real threat.

Yeah there's none of that in Libya, that's for sure.

What does it mean that "Obama has not done a good job defending America from terrorism"? What metric are you using to measure his preformance?

He has the power of the most advanced and powerful military in the world. It's quite a lot easier to protect your embassies in a country right after a revolution, where it's basically anarchy.

There have been several acts of terror while Obama was in office, that's my metric.

I think it's quite clear Obama could have done more.

True but we can blame him for not having proper security in the middle east on 9/11 for an ambassador. -Sun_Tzu-

Do you think a country that just overthrew its dictator is going to defend an embassy well?...Obama should know better.

It is true that in hindsight that there certainly should've been more security. But until we actually know why there wasn't the proper amount of security at the consulate, it is way too premature to start trying to figure out who should be blamed for the lack of security.

I know it's easy to criticize Obama but the one area he did well on is foreign policy. Of course he could do much better (fvck drone strikes) but it's hard to knock the man for that.

That is certainly a fair point.

I think it was pretty clear early on that this wasn't just mob violence. The attack was done in multiple phases and seemed well coordinated by people who knew what they were doing, no matter if it was planned or not.

I remember them saying day one that the attack wasn't the protestors. It was organized far before the protestors, they just used the protests as a good mask.

Yeah, I personally liked when ordered the assassination of a United States citizen without due process. That was great.
