Romney is clearly the wrong man for the job of POTUS. I don't think he can stand the stress. I can see it in his eyes. He is not running because he loves this country. He is running because he wants to do what his father couldn't do, win a national election.

Romney only cares about Romney. He is now using one of the dead Navy SEALS killed in Behngazi as a campaign sympathy stunt. He met the young man at a Christmas party in California and now he acts as if he has lost an asshole buddy. Apparently he had to be reminded that he actually met the young man.

It looks like Romney is not beyond politicizing anything for his personal gain.

One of the consulate's private Libyan guards said masked militants grabbed him and beat him, one of them calling him "an infidel protecting infidels who insulted the prophet."

The witness accounts gathered by The Associated Press give a from-the-ground perspective for the sharply partisan debate in the U.S. over the attack that left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. They corroborate the conclusion largely reached by American officials that it was a planned militant assault. But they also suggest the militants may have used the film controversy as a cover for the attack.

The ambiguity has helped fuel the election-time bickering in the United States ever since.

So the militants "may have" used the film controversy as a cover for the attack.
And then they claimed responsibility for the attack on the internet just after it began, but didn't mention the video in their internet claim.
So, what was their motivation for blaming the video if they were going to turn around and claim the attack in the name of their radical group?
Why have we not heard repeated claims from these groups since the attack that it was the video?

And the witness is a lawyer? What, they couldn't find a blind guy?

If you don't know the answer to that you're even dumber than that neighbor of yours.

Back to the subject, here's what Ty's father has to say, for those of you who don't watch Fox. I know, you think they just tell lies, but this is a direct quote from the father of one of the guys that got killed, so maybe you can give Fox the benefit of the doubt, since no other news outlet seems to want to talk to this man.

"This news that he disobeyed his orders does not surprise me. My son was an American hero. And he had the moral strength to do what was right, even if that would professionally cost him his job, even if it would potentially cost him his life. He was a hero who was willing to do whatever was necessary, to respond to their cries for help. If, in fact, those people from the White House were as courageous and had the moral strength that my son, Ty, had, immediately, within minutes of when they found there was the first attack, they would have sent, they would have given permission, not denied permission for those C130s to have gone up there {…] I don’t know much about weapons, but it’s coming out right now that they actually had laser targets focused on the mortars that were being sent to kill my son and they refused to pull the trigger, they refused to send those C130s."

All Fox is doing here is exploiting a father's grief. The fact of the matter is that he's in no better position to know the exact details of what happened than are you or I.

He never claimed to know details, he's just saying the Obama administration is cowardly and pathetic, which we already knew, so I guess you're right, nothing here.
I just thought he deserved to be heard, since his son was just sacrificed for political reasons.
