It's not just a slogan Mr. Obama. Not something you say just to score political points. Men of honor live and die by that creed. You have no honor sir, none at all. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3668091

The attack could have been stopped before it started. The ball was dropped several times. Obama bears the final burden of what did and did not happen in those 24 hours. Maybe if he had attended his security briefings things could have ended differently. ...Fox News has learned that U.S. military intelligence was informing senior commanders as early as 7 p.m. ET -- less than four hours after the attack began -- that Ansar al-Sharia carried out the attack. The intelligence was relayed to the military with no caveats, according to a source familiar with the intelligence. Further, Fox News has been shown two independent State Department cables, which have now been published by Foreign Policy magazine, that show that on the day of the attack Stevens' team sent cables expressing concern that the consulate was under surveillance. At least one of the cables says the Libyan police themselves -- the security force provided to the U.S. consulate by the Minister of Foreign Affairs -- was photographing the Consulate at 6:43 a.m. on the morning of the attack. U.S. intelligence officials tell Fox News there were reports from eyewitnesses in Benghazi on Sept. 11 that an armed militia was gathering three hours before the attack on the consulate began at 9:47 p.m. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...in-obama-administration-during/#ixzz2B5UhDFaR
That has been very underreported. See the article below; from September 13: Gianturco wrote that Smith had been under fire before, while posted to Baghdad. When that occurred, he usually broke off his messaging. "We'd freak out and he'd come back OK after a bit," Gianturco wrote. But Tuesday night, after reporting "GUNFIRE," Smith "disconnected and never returned," he added. A few hours earlier, Smith had posted, "assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures," he recounted. http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/us/benghazi-victims/index.html
Romney still silent on Benghazi cover up. Big mistake IMO, and his unwillingness to open this issue will probably cost him the election. Bad news for Obama though, because this isn't going away just because he wins. If anything it will intensify, as will all the other problems both domestic and foreign. Bro O is in for a tough ride, and so are the rest of us. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...als-on-ground-in-libya-challenge-cia-account/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ility-did-benghazi-team-have/?intcmp=trending
Whether elected or not, Obama should be haunted by the Benghazi tragedy for some time. This image was reportedly captured in Stevens' Benghazi quarters nearly 60 days after 9/11/12. Who knows what sensitive documents and items were lost in the looting that followed in the absence of an immediate arrival by U.S. forces to secure a classified crime scene.
