Re: Benghazi

Ok guys. Obviously you missed the fucking point of my post. But its interesting to see your responses, but mostly disturbing. You want a fight, well here goes.

My response was that i would rather have a president that gains ALL of the facts that are going on, before going to war. At the time it was happening, we knew essentially NOTHING about the situation. The event was emerging, we did not know if it was an accident, whether they were even dead or not, we werent sure if it was a protest, or a terrorist attack. Think of it as if you were to sit there and watch only fox news coverage of any event. Would you rather act on that event based on the information you recieved from fox, or gain the rest of the facts from other sources and draw a conclusion from all of the facts of the event.
Now, to my comment. "Because bombing another country is always the first resort". Think about this, Starting a war with a country that is highly unstable (and just overthrew its government), in a very unstable area (where multiple wars are going on). How many soldiers and innocent civilians would die if war broke out? Or even a retaliation from us bombing their country? How many soldiers and citizens died after Bush said we were going after OBL but went to Iraq?
The best question of all "What if the intel was wrong on it being a terrorist attack?" this is where my statement becomes painfully clear. What if it was simply an accident? I know you will say "Well it wasnt" But what if. What if it was a bunch of protestors expressing their disgust of the video when things got out of control and we dropped a bomb on a bunch of citizens? How would we look in the eyes of the world? We need a president that can keep a cool head in the presence of great stress like Obama has not a quick trigger finger. Gather all of the information needed and determine the best course of action that will get the best result.

Finally, Kracka, i suggest you edit or delete your own comment as you like to pick on others in these threads for things they say and your comment was Off Topic, Off Base and Idiotic.
