Could these warnings be the reason why Canada pulled their diplomats out a week ago?
Perhaps the Canadian leadership is a little smarter.

Well.. yeah? I mean.. what proof is there that this was a planned and executed attack?
If this was a planned and executed attack, for what means?
To me this is just political backdoor stabbing..
No matter how incompitent some people WANT Obama to be, if you had 48hrs notice your embassy was going to be attacked and over-run you'd atleast have your men armed and prepared.
People are really looking to hard for every and any excuse to blame Obama.

Because in your post that he quoted or referenced, you made a statement to the effect that, may be this is why the Canadians pulled their people out of their embassy. This was the Iranian embassy, very far away from Egypt and Libya, and where Sufi terrorists are not. From the context of your post, it would seem you thought the Canadians pulled their people from embassies where these attacks took place. Thus your comment concerning Canada appears very ignorant, and that was the point frazzle was making. Whether or not you know it, your brought Iran into the discussion.
My question to you is: did you even know from which embassy Canada was pulling Its staff, or were you just talking out of your hat?

Is it realistic to immediately blame the currently elected politician for every single problem. It's not as though Obama is the sole control master for the U.S., sitting alone in his spiffy world domination chair, pressing buttons and drinking tea. Doesn't he spend time meeting with members of his administration, advisors, consultants, heads of departments, etc., regarding various matters? Not to mention those behind the curtains, pulling the metaphorical strings, as it were.
MR. CARNEY: He gets it every day, okay? The President of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. There is a document that he reads every day when he is not - well, he always reads it every day because he’s a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials. And when he is physically here, most days he has a meeting in his office, the Oval one - (laughter) - with participants in - his national security team, including obviously Tom Donilon and others. He also has regular meetings with –
Question: Do you believe this report was misleading?
MR. CARNEY: I believe the article written about it was amusing.

Exclusive: America 'was warned of embassy attack but did nothing'
According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.
I don't understand. If you had credible information why not warn the diplomats and lockdown the embassy.
It makes no sense unless to further solidify that Obama is clueless and has no understanding of reality. Perhaps Obama is just inept or deep down he agrees with & has sympathy for the criminals.

You had better stop deluding yourself or you might hurt your brain.
The only way to have a conversation with you obama juggernauts is to give you a sense that perhaps obama did nothing wrong. Otherwise, instead of having a conversation about the topic at hand, all you get is deny this, deny that and your type of posts.

Yet another disgraceful act of an incompetent POTUS and Administration.
I feel Hilary is more at fault but that's just me.
Besides, Obama won't get a lick of blame in any way shape or form anyway.
Dark Clouds are over America now-a-days, again.
Edit to add... Of course Obama didn't do anything. He hasn't done squat since he has been in office.
Now, if the MUSLIM EXTREMIST ISLAMIC TERRORIST attack a golf course around D.C. They better be ready to take on Obama. Can't mess with his tee times, now can they>edit on 9/13/2012 by anon72 because: (no reason given)

Am I to believe that Obama is directly in control of all the embassies around the world? That seems... far fetched. Look, I'm no fan but I don't think we can blame the man for something that was probably completely out of his control.
