Media reports at a minimum. Shameful. Must have been caused by a homemade video.

the Defense Media Network, has published a detailed account of the attack on Camp Bastion, in which two Marines were killed, six U.S. Marine Corps jet fighters were destroyed, and two more "significantly" damaged. Those facts were all carried in most reports, but if that just sounds like a typical damage report from a decade-long war, you're wrong. Gresham explains the devastating damage done to VMA-211, the name of the Marine Corps attack squadron that was most affected last week, noting that it is "arguably the worst day in [U.S. Marine Corps] aviation history since the Tet Offensive of 1968." Or you could go back even further. "The last time VMA-211 was combat ineffective was in December 1941, when the squadron was wiped out during the 13-day defense of Wake Island against the Japanese."

and so far.. we have lost 51 soldiers, murdered by those they were training.. this year.

I heard the military has called off training of Afganistan troops indefiniately as they can't guarantee those they are training will not turn their guns on US/NATO soldiers anymore. So if they are not training them why bother staying there at all to be blown up by suicide bombers? Pull everyone out and if Obama likes drone attacking so much let him have at it and drone attack anything the moves until they realize the US means business when it comes to the safety of their troops. No more providing guns to those that will turn around and kill you with that gun. STUPID

No wait this is President Obama's war so the US will cut the troops back to levels that can't defend themselves and stay there to be picked out one by one while Obama goes on Foreign TV apologizing for the actions of the West, thinking that somehow his voice with calm the hatred of the Muslim extremists that want nothing more than to wipe the US off the globe. While he is lieing to voters at home about what caused the death of a US Ambassador :roll: :mad:

The riots weren't about Obama and his Administrations FAILED Foreign Policies, NO the rioters were just burning the flag and Obama in effigy and chanting Obama Obama we are all Osamas because they were mad about a poorly made 13 minute youtube video. The fact that these attackes on US Embassies happening on 911 had no great meaning it was just spontanious protestors out making trouble. :roll:

I would still like to know where the SECURITY for the Ambassador was and why he was in one of the most dangerous cities in the world when it comes to terrorist activities on the Anniversary of 911 with NO SECURITY.
