Our diplomats are being murdered, and our embassies are being stormed. We take out dictators in Egypt and Libya and the power vacuum becomes filled with radical U.S. hating Muslims... Do Obama and Hilary Clinton know what they are doing in the Middle East?

CNN.COM reports:
William Bennett says the administration insists it was an inane anti-Islam film that provoked violent protests, but the story is more complex.

    Clueless with his never ending ass kissing apologies from day one, which I believe led to the current problems .. they laughed at this first year junior senator who handed over our freedoms, our country and the lives most recently of 4 of our citizens .... they know Obama is weak.. they know he is complicit in what they do... they knew full well, even on 911 of all days, that they could most likely get away with another attack, and they did.... and why? Because as with everything else, Obama has turned his back on our allies and opened his arms to our enemies... and they took full advantage of his weak leadership... they spit on us and laugh at him... and he deserves it... what a F'ng clown!
    Since he has been president everything has collapsed .. from our economy to foreign affairs ... I often wonder who is more dangerous to our country... them (the terrorists) or the enemy from within (Obama) ....

    Being the smartest man in the world prevents you from seeking advice for those outside your chain of cronies to get real information and intelligence data. After all real data might not align with your agenda....or previous pontification concerning the issue....such as "it was all about that horrible movie" NOT!!

    Mr. Romney, as an experienced CEO, knows he needs smart people in the room, their called Subject Matter Experts (SME), for advice and to recommend the way forward...and then he uses his analytical skills to choose between the expert opinions...and by the way, if all your SME's agree on a path - it's probably recommended that you choose that way, but if one or more of them has a different idea – listen very closely, because the majority isn’t always right – oopppssss, sort of like the last election 

    No we can watch at a safer distance. We will just send over all the drones Obama is manufacturing overseas to watch loyal Americans to the middle east.

    Is that all? I have not looked it up for myself to know. If so , my apologies. I assume since he outsources so many American tax dollars and jobs elsewhere, including the use of socialist Spain to count American votes this November , then the drones were a repeat .

    And truthfully, I do not want to watch moslems murdering each other or any one else or view their violent overthrows of other nations anyway.

    They don't have to be anything else, the only concern to them is how it will get them votes, maybe Obama himself cares because I think he is at least somewhat empathetic, but overall his administration doesn't care what happens to those people.

    The asker of this question seems clueless to the Middle East, like it was and was always supposed to like us, like we've really done so much for the people there; I'm certain on one hand he would say the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq should have never happened, or that smaller actions taken over the past 2 years were Imperialism at its best and at odds with the American people. In our involvement we've only supported those who would play our game, and that's the game of the political elite, who are of course those with lots of money to be made off the middle east. We've allowed corrupt regimes to maintain power who have no problem doing the same thing in their own country, regimes that would allow radical groups to hate the waste and spread that hatred in anyway as long as it deferred blame from their own regime. Now it's finally come back to bite them in the ass, all the crime, warlords, and extremists, combined with the poverty and social decay, is overwhelming them.

    Anyone who thinks that there is anything they can really do about the anger of those people are just as clueless "oh we let them think they can do whatever they want" they don't care about us or facts of truth, they are poor, ignorant, and angry, you could bomb 90 out of 100 of them, the 10 will just hate you more (I wonder why)

    Not in the least. He understands it completely, it is just that he has no problem with it.

    He has first hand experience in this type of behavior. In 2006 or 2007, Obama joined his cousin (Odinga) in Kenya and campaigned for him. This is a violation of the rules of decency for a sitting US Senator. The president of Kenya sent a complaint to President Bush.

    When the Chosen One's cousin did not win, there were riots in typical liberal fashion and at least 15 people were killed. I am not saying that Obama did any killing, but he had a close look at this kind of violence.

They have thrown in with him believing his goal is to eradicate Conservatism, but Obama goal is to DESTROY AMERICA..White, Black, Latino and Asian.

    Amen, Maddog. The cretin is far from clueless as he is making significant progress into making us into a communist, Muslim, and racist nation. We must get him and his fellow Jack-boot thugs in the Senate and House out in November. Amazing, the killings in Libya were an outright act of war and the mendacious one is offering apologies...go figure.

    Both Hillary and Her Boss need to get busy and apologize to the Egyptians for what they have done. They have the $money$ in the U S Treasury (if they don't then Barnakey can iust go ahead and print some more) but a lot of good it's doing there, with Egypt so pissed-off as they are. Hillary needs to learn that she's no Cleopatra. Plus, Hillary doesn't know it but those Egyptians will jump all over her like a hungry Cobra on a Fat Blond Rat; and her Boss needs to also join in on another Worldwide Apology . . . Just like the one that they just did, yesterday, in fact. After all, Hillary's Boss did get awarded the Nobel Peace Prize . . .
