First, on September 11, being aware that Americans, including our Ambassador, were under attack, President Obama did nothing to send nearby forces to their aid.
Second, on the following morning, notwithstanding the mounting evidence of what had happened and knowing that Ambassador Chris Stevens had been killed, he directed his press spokesman to withhold the facts and willfully deliver a portrayal of events that he knew to be false - as he left on a campaign trip to Las Vegas.
Third, this tragic loss of Chris Stevens and others serving our country in Libya,
might well have been avoided had the president responded to the Ambassadors earlier requests for better security in the run-up to 9-11, and threats from known terrorists groups to attack Americans.
Finally, and more broadly, this terrible loss demonstrates that the President has yet to come to grips with the nature of the radical Islamist threat we must face and overcome. Surely one can acknowledge the benign attitude and religious tolerance that characterizes most Muslims while concurrently naming and developing a strategy to eliminate the well-armed, well-financed, intolerant Al Qaeda affiliates that have spread to more than 30 countries during his administration.
On September 11th, of this year President Obama's incompetent performance - faced with an urgent need, and the opportunity to send help and perhaps to save lives of Americans under fire-- represents the most egregious dereliction of duty by an American official I've ever heard of. I cannot imagine a more serious abrogation of his responsibility as president."
