TheTruth1313 2012/09/15 01:36:06+6Obama's sad weak failure of a foreign policy IS the reason why these attacks are happening.





















As of July 31, almost half of all U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan have happened on President Barack Obama’s watch. Since Obama took office in January 2009, 558 U.S. troops have died in Afghanistan, out of 1,127 since the war began nine years ago, according to CNSNews.com’s tally.
And the violence is escalating. July 2010 was the deadliest month for U.S forces in Afghanistan, with 66 combat and non-combat fatalities.
Counting for both combat and non-combat deaths, the top three bloodiest months for U.S. forces all happened during Obama’s term: July 2010 (66 dead), June 2010 (60 dead), and October 2009 (58 dead).
For the 558 U.S. soldiers who have died so far on Obama’s watch, 513 (about 92 percent) were killed in combat. Those 513 combat-related deaths on Obama’s watch account for more than half of the 963 combat deaths that have taken place since the war began in October 2001.

Yes, Obama's foreign policy record is clearly a failure...
Let's get some things straight. Conservatives opposed the closing of Guantanamo Bay, so by all accounts you should be glad he relented to the Military and allowed it to stay open. The Iraq Withdrawal was NOT set in stone, many Congressional Republicans were pushing for an extension to US troops on the ground which was vetoed by the Pentagon and the White House. Libya is an emerging democracy like any, and as John McCain has so forcefully stated, the Libyan people are on our side, denounce attacks like the one in Benghazi have elected relative Moderates to their assembly and have overthrown a leader that supported the MURDER OF US CITIZENS.
It was Barack Obama's decision to send in a Navy Seal team as opposed to a Drone Strike to ensure bin Laden's demise over the objections of the military. Do I completely support and respect our Seals, our CIA Operatives in the field and our analysts? Yes. But the Commander and Chief decides.
BUT OF COURSE SINCE YOU DIDN'T READ ANY OF THIS AND ARE ALREADY EITHER BLOCKING AND/OR TYPING A RESPONSE, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
On top of that, his cabinet is composed of liars and cheats and thieves.
Americas friends are abused, insulted and betrayed while Obama reaches out in friendship to those who hate America...and receives the middle finger in return. How many millions of $ do we give Libya, Egypt, Yemen and other enemy states?
This country needs a strong leader, one who leads from the front and who's goal is to support and strengthen America, not subvert it as Obama has. We need someone who will defend our country, not give it away through weakness and appeasement. We need someone who understands how capitalism and a free market economy works. Not just for America, but for the entire planet, for where the US economy goes, the rest of the world soon follows.
We need...
