>> First, I am glad you mentioned the state department and not the WH...but let's assume that your allegation is correct....THAT'S A SCANDAL? Really? So, you think it is okay for the president to lie to the public about matters of national security in order to win an election? REALLY? >> Sure, but it was bush and his cabinet that sold the war with determination and fear mongering.. Obama didn't support the Iraq War because he was naive. Given the intelligence, right or wrong, the correct decision was to go to war. One can argue that it didn't work out well, but the correct decision based on the information available was to remove Saddam.

Al, First, I am glad you mentioned the state department and not the WH...but let's assume that your allegation is correct....THAT'S A SCANDAL? Really? I personally don't think there's enough evidence to call this a "scandal," but it's clear beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama really doesn't want to own up to fixing this. And I think that in itself is unacceptable, especially if this stuff led him and Hillary to make stupid statements for a full week and a half after the attack. Not only that, but you can be sure that this is giving encouragement to the terrorists. They will not hesitate to attack again, knowing that we have a President who seems to be rather aloof at the helm. Tenchusatsu
