Sep 2012

from a paper that is convinced that the US must be lead by a Republican. If this is true, that means that our leaders are straight up traitors - I don't believe it.

What I believe is that Republicans, in a time when our country was attacked, are fomenting discord in an attempt to make our leaders look bad. That makes THEM traitors.

Disgusting as it gets. Fuck Republicans for this.

A Story Like That Doesn't Concern You?? liberallibral Sep 2012 #15

I agree. Cause for much concern. In fact, it's so concerning that my concern is feeling concerned. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #30

This story made you laugh out loud? You have a unique sense of humor. (nt) Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #19

No Aerows Sep 2012 #69

Terrible if true, I agree. And "The Independent" is a reputable newspaper. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #16

I'm sorry Aerows Sep 2012 #21

My guess is that if someone in the State Department had the information, Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #26

There's no doubt it was planned in advance, and not a spontaneous street mob TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #17

You have to be kidding Aerows Sep 2012 #27

Where did I say it was planned by the State Dept.? I think you're overreacting TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #32

No Aerows Sep 2012 #47

Be as disdainful as you want, I don't think members of this "spontaneous" mob knew how TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #52

Yeah, and in the end, THAT would be scarier than if it were planned. renie408 Sep 2012 #57

I'm sure the State Department arranged that Aerows Sep 2012 #61

Somebody leaked info, somebody the diplomats relied upon was not TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #66

I thought Aerows Sep 2012 #71

You know, you seem to be freaking out. renie408 Sep 2012 #74

Actually Aerows Sep 2012 #76

Well, since freaking out in this case... renie408 Sep 2012 #137

That does seem to be highly plausible, unfortunately. AverageJoe90 Sep 2012 #119

I disagree--unless the State Dept. or Obama himself was given TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #120

It doesn't have to be a security leak at all. What about the LOCAL guards who were guarding the Th1onein Sep 2012 #87

They would have you believe Aerows Sep 2012 #93

Slow down...they meant planned by the people who did it. Jeez...n/t renie408 Sep 2012 #48

"he died from smoke inhalation" ...that's right ...he was not murdered. L0oniX Sep 2012 #22

If some people attack you, start fires, causing you to die of smoke inhalation, it's still murder. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #31

If it was planned then why would they leave it to chance? L0oniX Sep 2012 #36

Maybe the fire was set so as to drive them out into the open where they could be shot? cherokeeprogressive Sep 2012 #115

I thought they set his car on fire. If it were just the smoke in the area, why would he renie408 Sep 2012 #59

Obama didn't want to attack Iran because he didn't want the Middle East to erupt in violence.... Junkdrawer Sep 2012 #24

No offense, but youre not helping darkangel218 Sep 2012 #28
