Benghazi (nonsensical conspiracy theories aside)--four Americans die, with little US response? An outrage! Obama's so weak! His foreign policy's failing!
Beirut--250 American soldiers killed by truck bombs set by extremist jihadis under Reagan's term? Our response? A full withdrawal of US and international forces. Reagan remain a conservative deity.
Pretty sure I at least did not mention anything about any specific circumstances, I was speaking about him in far more general terms. He is someone that needs to be liked, adulation is what he lives for, but as the leader of the free world, not everyone is going to love you, that is the reality of the circumstance, there is a certain percentage of the world population that wants to see this country and its ideals eradicated from the earth. You do not protect except by projecting strength. But he does not project strength because he is too worried about being liked.

Personally I do not want to see us involved in Ukraine, that is, troops on the ground, but I do think that we should be helping the Ukrainians to help themselves, intel, weapons, training. Personally I think a squadron of F-117's and one of F-22's forward deployed to Poland for 'training' would send a pretty clear message. Putin will not be content with just Ukraine, he wants to put the whole band back together again, so are you saying we should let the USSR be reborn?

As for Benghazi, well that is as much about what happened before as what happened after, but Hillary does not want to talk about it and she has all her peeps on a pretty tight leash.
