And how would we react if it happened here? A couple of crazies guys killed 3,000 people and we invaded two countries, killed thousands and spent trillions in retribution. Good lord.

What should we have done?

You down play the significance. We have a Right to protect ourselves and the gov't has a duty to protect it's citizens. We asked for Osama to be turned over. We warned them we were coming. They did not comply. For you to look past the value of those 3000 lives, the value of the feeling of safety in the US and to minimize them is what I expect from you. I am so sad you teach our kids.

Your viewpoint does help explain how the LIbs are giving the potus a pass on Benghazi. I stand by my statement that had this been Bush in office, he would have been crucified for allowing to happen, much less the fact that there was 0 response or retribution. In addition, the fact that no support was sent during the 5 hour firefight when we had people nearby is unforgiveable. Again, this was an attack on America and a foreign diplomat was killed. Yet the "adminstration" of vactioner in chief was too scared to do anything. Sad.
