No, that was an active war that was causing ongoing casualties. Political change could very well change the number of people who died.

Did it?

This is a 2 year old incident, and the issues that people are focusing on have nothing to do with keeping people safe or preventing future incidents.

"What difference does it make!"

Way to go Hillary!

You're using her talking points.

Odd how the administration is accusing the GOP for making this a political issue and the Administrations lies and cover up was based on politics and the upcoming Pres. Election.


Estimates of civilian casualties in the Iraq War are as high as 120,000 civilians.

And this has what to do with Benghazi?

Where was all this right wing outrage over the 4500 people who died in Iraq?

It is incredibly disrespectful to use people's lives as pawns in a political game. It makes me really sick watching all of these idiots go on and on about this pretending that they give two ****s about the people who died when really they are just trying to stick it to Obama. If Romney or McCain were in the white house when this happened Fox news wouldn't be giving 5 minutes of airtime to it.

Ah......

Obama NEEDS to have it "stuck to him".

The idiot was so busy primping for a political debate that he was not even present in the situation room.....that is bad enough.

Then they lied and lied, and had a man tossed in jail to support their lies.

While military aid was denied those fighting for their lives.

Obama is scum. The worst president in 150 years

Sure, but the reaction should be proportional to the crime. The consequences of the lies about Iraq are literally billions of times more costly, yet the right tolerated all sorts of lies to cover up the original lies and subsequent failures in order to get Bush reelected.

Moral relativism is a funny thing. Using Bush to defend Obama is ground that cannot be defended.

Lies were used to reelect Bush.

Similarly, lies were used to reelect Obama. I assume you remember the video produced by the Coptic Christian in Southern California that Obama still insists was the cause of the "demonstration" in Benghazi.

Bush's lies are in the past. Obama's lies are going on as I type.

Bush was destroyed by his lies. Obama will be destroyed by his lies and the harm the US has yet to experience. Moreover, Hillary will pay for her lies on the al Qaeda attack in Benghazi.

If Obama had not changed American foreign policy in Libya the al Qaeda terrorists would have been dead instead of in a position to kill the four Americans.

Oh btw, while Bush was responsible for the American deaths in Iraq, Obama is responsible for most of the American deaths in Afghanistan.

And the Expansion of the Drone Strikes all over.

That's right. I mentioned that above as well. He just went in and did it. No good reason... he just did it.

The idea that military aid was denied is just as false as the accusation that they were told to "stand down".

The CIA actually rushed security operatives to the site.

The lies have been kept alive by people who want to stick it to Obama more than they care about the truth.

Obama didn't end the war in Iraq as you are well aware. The war in Iraq had been won militarily during the Surge of 2007. The war was lost politically when Obama snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Today the US has no influence in Iraq. Iraq is an ally of Iran.

Obama is the first US president to violate the War Powers Act in his grand adventure in Libya. In doing so he set a precedent that will be used by future presidents.

Under the War Powers Resolution, a president can initiate military action but must receive approval from Congress to continue the operation within 60 days. If approval is not granted and the president deems it an emergency, then an additional 30 days are granted for ending operations.

But Obama didn't seek or receive approval from Congress. In fact, individual members of Congress warned Obama that he couldn't continue military action unilaterally.

And Obama is the first to have done so? (See my edit above)
