Our response to their attacks about the attack in Libya should be....


...to simply point out that the administration was passing along the information they received from our intelligence agencies. The same people who helped us find and kill Bin Laden. These people are the best in the world at what they do and to attack the information that was presented to the American people is to insult the professionals that have devoted their lives to keeping this country safe.


They shouldn't be able to give all the credit for Bin Laden's demise to people other than the President and then turn around and place all the blame for this attack on him. We really should be able to turn this around and it amazes me that we have failed to do so as of yet.

attempt to get some more votes - I and my entire administration will work towards bring the perpetrators to justice. We have a real good record so far in doing just that".

So we need to point out that it is not a story. It is the intelligence provided to the administration from some of the same people who helped find Bin Laden.
