[quote=SD Realtor]Feel free to answer the question directly. This subject is a rescue mission of American citizens.
While my personal opinion is that I would have like to seen an attempt at a military rescue operation or even a diversion during the attack, it is only that, an opinion. If the call was made by the White House, or a given general of Central Command to do or not do something, it would be nice to know who made that final call.
I think I am more troubled by the way things are coming out after the fact.
it is quite easy to look back and find huge mistakes, corruption and blunders with any administration. That does not excuse the current one. Also I am not referencing any other foreign policy decisions by this administration. I may not agree with them and whether they were blunders or not would also only be my opinion.
Please try not to confuse wanting to understand what happened as well as the subsequent lack of clarification with war mongering if you can.[/quote]
There should be an investigation and I assume there will be in the coming days. If not, I am sure Fox News will make sure it happens.
The difference between me and Fox News is that I do not speculate that there was a mistake, blunders or cover-up until the facts of the case are clear. I give benefit of doubt to administration, just as others gave benefit of doubt to Bush administration in the previous case that I brought up even till today. If one doesn’t do that then I must conclude that they are not objective.
Is Fox News is kidding that this is just about what happened in Libya? No, it always was about the election that will happen next week. As long as it is about the election, everything about foreign policy of Mitt Romney and his advisers (who were basically Bushies) is a fair game in this discussion.
Now SDR you answer directly if (1) are you only interested in getting facts of Libya out or (2) You are trying to say that Romney should be elected because somehow Obama was a failure as illustrated by Libya
If your direct answer (if you choose to give it) is (1) then you can certainly wait some more time and truth will be out anyway. You are entitled to your opinion till then but that will be just an opinion – not reality. I will respectfully disagree because I can not form opinion on this matter in advance of facts.
If your answer is (2) then my bringing up any issue related to foreign policy is fair game in this discussion.
P.S: The only reason Bush even came in this discussion is because you said that media was harsh on Bush and I pointed out how friendly media was to Bush in such cases (at least in the immediate aftermath).
