How many other words can you use to describe the Obama Regime? The failures are massive. But it is not just the failures that we look at. If we look behind the failures, to the not so obvious questions, the Obama Regime only gets worse.

What is the cost of these failures? Is it simply a wrecked economy and a diminished nation or is it even worse?

It is worse.

The greatest failure of the Obama Regime is the way they have killed those who are working to protect America.

Obama’s policies have been so far beyond wrong, they are criminal. To start with, the rules of engagement in Afghanistan do nothing but make American military personnel there targets. With no clear plan for victory, all Obama is doing is asking young Americans to go and die for him so he will not get blamed for losing Afghanistan (at least before the election).

And now there is Benghazi.

According to retired military officers who appeared on Fox News, their sources told them that Obama watched the attacks live in the White House. Not only did Obama not give orders to help those men under attack, someone in the White House gave an order for troops only a mile a way, who could have helped, to stand down. Given the way Obama acted towards our troops in peril, I have to wonder if he stood up and cheered when the compound was overrun!

The death of our Americans in Benghazi is criminal.

The story gets worse the more we hear about it. Obama knew immediately this was a terrorist attack. For two weeks, he and his regime instead went out and not only groveled before radical Islamists but attacked our First Amendment. He gave aid and comfort to the radical Islamists worldwide who want to deny freedom of speech and criminalize “Insulting Islam.”

Then the details slowly leaked out that this was not a short firefight. The former Navy Seals, who may have disobeyed orders to stand down and instead went to the aid of their fellow Americans, fought for seven hours before being killed. There was easily enough time to bring in reinforcements.

This story may even be worse.

There may have been reinforcements on scene that were denied permission to intervene. According to published reports, there were CIA personnel who had spotted the mortar crew that was attack the compound. This group was “painting” the mortar with a laser designator.

Why do you do that?

The answer is simple. You are identifying a target so it can be struck immediately by airpower.

Why were these guys designating a target if there was no air support available? The answer is simple. There was something there and someone denied it permission to fire and help our guys on the ground. According to a former Delta Force Operator on the blog site BlackFive, there are only two people who could have ordered a plane or an armed drone overhead not to fire. One was the Africom Commander, who has been mysteriously relieved of his command, and the other is the President.

Here is another failure to ask about. After the incident was over, and Ambassador Stevens had been drug through the streets, tortured and murdered, why wasn’t the compound secured?

This compound has been referred to as a Consulate. It is nothing of the kind. It was a CIA operations hub in Libya. In theory it was being used by the CIA to try and track down weapons that had been lost during the revolution against Muammar Qaddafi. According to other published reports it was a hub for the recruitment of jihadist fighters to go to Syria and to facilitate the transfer of weapons to the Syrian rebels.

Why wasn’t this compound immediately secured? For days it was left open. CNN employees came in to the site and found Chris Stevens’ diary. Other media members went to the site and found sensitive and possibly classified documents at the burned out compound.

The Obama Regime has failed completely. The whole Benghazi affair stinks to high heaven. One of the first things President Romney should do is direct the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation of this matter, present it to a grand jury and let American citizens decide what should be done with those who willingly let Americans die.

Did they not let the FBI go there for almost three weeks because they wanted any evidence to be gone?
