Yesterday the Editorial Board of the Washington Post said they weren’t partisan, but, hey, those Republicans were failing America. Today, they ask why Obama is playing games with closing monuments and stuff Republicans hate national security
Government shutdown puts U.S. security at risk
IF HOUSE Republicans have had an obsession to rival their hatred of the Affordable Care Act, it has been their determination to find a scandal in the 2012 attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi, Libya, in which Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was killed.
Yet this week those same Republicans are putting U.S. embassies across the world at risk with their shutdown of the U.S. government. More broadly, they are endangering national security at a time when the United States remains under threat from al-Qaeda and affiliated groups.
Wait, I thought Obama said “Osama Bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda is on the run”?
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chair of the intelligence committee, said on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday that 72 percent of the civilian intelligence agency workforce has been furloughed.
“This means that, with the exception of a few intelligence agencies that have a significant number of military personnel, the lights are being turned off and the majority of the people who produce our intelligence, analyze that intelligence and provide warning of terrorist attacks or advise policymakers of major national security events will be prevented from doing their jobs,†she said. “We have ambassadors in threatened capitals . . . [who] rely on their intelligence briefers and the tactical intelligence support to their security teams as much as they rely on the Marines who guard front gates. . . . What we are doing now puts American lives at risk.â€
Ms. Feinstein is hardly a rabid partisan..
It is reckless behavior in a time of war, and it is, above all, Speaker John Boehner and his allies who are at fault.
Well, you knew someone had to play this card at some point. Will they play the racism card tomorrow?
Oh. NOW we are at war?
How convenient of them to notice.
I wonder if they know with whom we are at war? But I thought Obama solved all that pesky war stuff anyway?
And for some reason, I don’t think our Embassies are non-essential.
OMG.. I spewed on that one.
I’m waiting for the dying\starving old people stories…
So maybe Obama/Reid should work with the other side? That has worked before.
Unfortunately, Reid and Obama have said repeatedly and by their actions, refused to meet with and negotiate with GOP. Granted, Obama did call the leaders to the WH the other day, but that was only to berate the GOP and claim once again that he will not negotiate.
Meanwhile, Obama is traveling around the US campaigning again. He loves spending money.
Holy smokes batman. This is so ignorant, as is much of what the demorats are saying, including president Saul Alinsky, and the MSM is happily reporting only what THEY are lying out loud!
I’ve about had it with low info voters and high info partisan hacks. Attacking Fox News, Tea Parties, Conservatives, Talk Radio hosts and just about anyone who simply disagrees with them has to have SOME fallout surely? I can’t believe it won’t. Please say that there will be hell to pay in the long run?
Even as we watch the roll out of Ocare falling on it’s face, they’re trying to make a silk purse out of a swine’s behind! And I believe they’re speaking from the same place!
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning Trish. It will only get worse.
Majority of people still have no idea what ObamaCare is, or that it is even mandatory. And, they believe the sky is falling.
