Who Lied About the Attack on 9/11/12?

2013 Deficit To Shrink To $642 Billion: Congressional Budget Office

nothing on fox or the blaze about this. why is that?

At least Obama KNOWS Pakistan is NOT our friend. Bush rarely if ever went into Pakistan.

I would tend to agree with Tired, all Al Qaeda has done is relocate, which is what we should do, out of the Middle East. If Jesus couldn't bring peace there, what makes an American President think he can.

I'm sorry but what was said about operation Iraqi Freedom not too long after it had been started?

Mission Accomplished? When it clearly wasn't.

Lol!!!!!

Maybe so Harry but they haven't went away, just relocated. Perhaps they are weaker and I think Bush had a lot to do with that. I do give Obama credit for continuing some of the pressure but I don't think he did us any favors by being so PC and apologizing for the US. Killing with kindness has been a failure, the still hate us

I'd say al Queada has been "on the run" since Sept. 12, 2001.

I don't know that it would meant less votes for Obama or more conservatives coming out (that's ther real reason Romney lost but that's another conversation) but the fact is, the American voter should have known. And even at that, I don't know if it would have made a difference but still...

As while Obama never specifically stated terrorism had been defeated (can you defeat a slogan) he certainly implied that it had on numerous occasions, including the Foreign Affairs debate. He did specifically state numerous times that he had Al Qaeda on the run and that he was responsible for OBL’s death.

He’s an arrogant one, willing to take credit on anything good but everything bad is always someone else’s fault. At least Nixon had the stones to stand up and take responsibility. I guess this guy is no Dick Nixon.

What will be interesting to watch is the attitude of the press corps now. I think they have treated obama with kid gloves mostly up to now. With the AP scandal, I wonder if there may be a little less fawning and a few more tough questions. Time will tell( no pun intended).

And I agree “that sooner or later more will come out despite what Obama apologist say.”

Aaron, I think I see what you mean. Are you speculating that fewer voters might have chosen Obama if Gen. Petraeus had, before the election, “countered the Presidents line policy win, the killing if OBL and the subsequent defeat of terrorism”?

Like many speculations, that can cut both ways. More voters might have chosen Obama if Gen. Patraeus had, before the election, countered the narrative that the talking points had a political motive.

Unprovable speculations aside, I’d like to address another part of your statement by asking when Obama said that bin Laden’s death led to “the subsequent defeat of terrorism.”

I don’t recall Obama saying terrorism had been defeated. I do recall him saying that Al Qaeda’s “core” had been “degraded.”

Benghazi was home to rebel forces in 2010, many of which fought against Americans for years in both Iraq and Afghanistan that sought to overthrow Gaddafi and end his 40 year reign of power. Despite their background, our CIA aided those rebels in their overthrow of Gaddafi from the American Consulate in Benghazi.

According to one Senator on the Sunday Morning talk shows, the SD felt like Benghazi was a CIA outpost thus they were responsible for protection and security. After the attack, when the CIA started blaming State, saying they had given numerous warnings and requested increased security, State essentially said, it’s your baby, you deal with it.

Given the fact that CIA used the Consulate to aid the Libyan Civil War and the number of attacks leading up to 9/11/12, there is much more to this story. The more I read about this situation, the more I’m convinced that sooner or later more will come out despite what Obama apologist say.

In light of these abuses of power, still think we who don't trust Govt are the nuts? Does my argument that the mental health components of the Manchin Toomey bill will open up a can of govt intrusion, abuse and mishandled personal information to be used against political opponents?

And now we have the AP being put under DOJ scrutiny by having their phone communications monitored.

Not much of a surprise really considering the surveillance apparatus that has taken hold since 9-11.

Al Qaeda cant be defeated. Its a snake with many many heads and the mere act of trying to defeat them just makes more terrorists.

That does not mean that we should stop going after them though. Its just going to be a threat we will have to constantly defend ourselves from.

He testified a week AFTER the election and his testimony essentially countered the Presidents line policy win, the killing if OBL and the subsequent defeat of terrorism.

What happens if the General testifies in September and essentially shows that the White House is not only lying about the reason behind the attack but that Al Qaeda has not been defeated and the Presidents win really isn't a win?

Aaron, you wrote, "Time will tell."

I couldn't agree more. I'm still open-minded about this.

I'm not sure what you mean about the timing of Patraeus' testimony, etc., but I will consider it with an open mind.

How hard is it to copy and past for ya tired/ithink.aaron? let's see it.

You can lead a human to knowledge but you can't make them think!!!

I don't use XLS richard.
