It's time for a reading comprehension refresher course.

I said that the Congressional committee that sees this stuff must have seen enough to ask questions. They see info that she cannot. Comprende?

The Libyan Prime Minister told us less than 24 hours after the event that it was a terrorist attack, but President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and the Democrats in the House and Senate blamed a video that no one had heard of until that time for this tragedy.

It is time to make this known, and remove the disgrace from before the eyes of the world. We are already perceived as weak, do we really wish to be seen as fools as well?

Romney will NEVER attack Obama on half of the REAL facts about what is going on in the Middle East because he does not have the ideological integrity to do so. He is not truly a conservative and cannot fight from a conservative perspective. Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul as well as a few of the other Republican candidates including Bachmann could have attacked Obama on this front, however, Romney can't.

It is not so much that he can not as it is that he will not. I believe that he wishes to avoid looking desperate (which is a possibility), or he is attempting to avoid being accused of making this situation political. The problem with the second option is that in the race for President, everything is political. It is false to say otherwise.
