When A Hard Core Leftist Agrees With Dick Cheney, What Does That Tell You About Obama’s Performance?


Dick Cheney on Benghazi
“”They ignored repeated warnings from the CIA about the threat. They ignored messages from their own people on the ground that they needed more security. They reduced what was already there. And the administration either had no forces ready to respond to an attack, which should have been anticipated on the anniversary of 9/11, or they refused to deploy them when our people asked for help.”
Maureen Dowd
New York Times
The administration’s behavior before and during the attack in Benghazi, in which four Americans died, was unworthy of the greatest power on earth.
President Obama knew he was sending diplomats and their protectors into a country that was no longer a country, a land rife with fighters affiliated with Al Qaeda.
Yet in this hottest of hot spots, the State Department’s minimum security requirements were not met, requests for more security were rejected, and contingency plans were not drawn up, despite the portentous date of 9/11 and cascading warnings from the C.I.A
The defense secretary at the time, Leon Panetta, insisted, “We quickly responded.” But they responded that they would not respond.http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/12/opinio…
Cheney and Dowd AGREE !
Let that sink in !
