Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your son. Not a good thing to come home to. When you have the time, fill us in with your impressions of Argentina. BTW, now you know why I never leave the islands.

As unhappy as I am about Benghazi, I am really angry with the MSM coverup of it. You watch Bret on FOX every night and it's obvious that he can hardly contain himself.

I think all of us here believe that Obama stood there in the ready room at the WH, watched it go down, and personally gave the orders not to interfere because he did not want an American force in there. He hoped it would go well, and when it broke bad, he and his bunch went into a coverup, with the media helping him.

This is an awful thing to say about an American President. You could tolerate it if he had said, "I made the decision and it turned out bad." But the coverup is past the point of acceptance.

Thank you for your eloquent and insightful comments, all apparently authored by someone who is witnessing this American tragedy through the eyes of a modern patriot.

We're all very glad to hear that your son is out of the woods. God bless the American healthcare system -- the finest in the world. Every time my husband or I make use of that system, I am angered beyond words because of the fact that none other than the American president is purposefully seeking to dismantle it and replace it with an inefficient, power-centered, uncaring bureaucracy. The resulting rationing, inferior medical care, and enslavement to government of the world's finest medical professionals is nothing short of a malignant evil.

Your description of what was done to our four courageous Americans in Libya, and actually to the American military in general, is spot on, and made doubly so by your own honorable twenty-year service in the Navy.

When one steps back from the political fray and realizes that the finest healthcare system in the history of mankind, the finest (and most dedicated to human liberty) military in the history of mankind, and the most prosperous and inventive country in the history of mankind are being premeditatedly dismantled by a man with no better credentials than having been a community organizer (a paid rabble rouser), and a part-time state and federal legislator, it makes a person suspect that we must all be living in some kind of surreal dream world.

The Benghazi massacre, its precursors and aftermath, are indeed the worst scandal in America's history. And yet the mainstream media mention it only in passing. The bone-deep agenda-driven evil that is now rampant in the media is the driving force in this election. And, if the American electorate proves itself to be too lazy to ferret out the truth, resulting in the re-election of a diabolical anti-American, pro-Muslim oppressor, may God help those of us who know the truth, because we and our children will suffer every bit as much as the useful idiots who returned him to office will.

Talk about injustice.
