The cartoons on this topic continue to fail in what should be the most important issue. How do we force lawmakers back to the table to pass the legislation funding the improved security of USA embassies/consulates without add ons, ear marks, or riders. Less blame, more game.Respectfully,C.
@C Downs….the Dept. of State has been sitting on a security fund of over $2 Billion and could have reinforced the consulate in Benghazi but prefers to spend their money on charging stations for the new Chevy Volts bought for Vienna’s US Embassy staffers….no new legislation or new funding is needed….we need “responsible” officials to do their #1 duty…defense and protection for Americans serving abroad.-I love Bok’s cartoon….Democrats like Obama and Hillary Clinton like to say “I’m responsible” but will not take any blame and they do not hesitate to blame others for things done wrongly such as failing to protect our people and for politicizing a loss of 4 sacrificial diplomatic staffers and trying to coverup an Islamic Jihadist operation by claiming falsely the cause was a 14-minute internet video that offended Muslims…a LIE…to hide the Obama policy of never allowing US government persons to name “terrorist” individuals or admit groups like Al Qaeda are growing in places like Libya….the source of the 9/11/12 attack/murders.Hillary is indeed thrown overboard….
The TWO longest wars in U.S. history, totally based on actually TWO lies and cover-ups now called “WMDs”, and a group WE and Pakistan created power for called “Taliban”.
Hundreds of thousands died, but don’t worry a dangerous mission, that proved more dangerous than anticipated, that cost four American lives, where the media had NO RIGHT to all the actual details, for security reasons, in the rest of the world where our people are still at risk, is the only “failure”???
