Will Biden and Dems Shed Public Crocodile Tears For Those Left Behind In Afghanistan?

This is not the first time Biden put such callous traits on full public display

“The four men were killed in an attack this week on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. “The other men killed in Libya include Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, both former Navy SEAL commandos working as diplomatic security officers. The fourth was Sean Smith, an information management officer who also had an online alter-ego legendary in the gaming world. “The Obama administration initially thought the attack was carried out by an angry mob responding to a video, made in the United States, that mocked Islam and the Prophet Mohammed. But the storming of the mission was later determined to have been a terrorist attack. “Teams of seven Marines carried the caskets off a C-17 plane at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in a ceremony attended by a color guard and a chaplain, Army Col. Wesley Smith. “President Barack Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton gave remarks. “Families of the victims and dignitaries were seated facing the hearses and a lectern.” “There’s no doubt these are difficult days,” said Obama. But he pledged that “the United States of America will never retreat from the world.”

“Four Americans, four patriots, they loved their country and chose to serve it and serve it well,” the president continued. “They had a mission and they believed in it, and they knew the danger and they accepted it. They didn’t simply embrace the American ideal, they lived it, they embodied it: the courage, the hope and, yes, the idealism.(CNN) “We will bring to justice those who took them from us,” Obama said. “Clinton said that Libya, Egypt and Tunisia “did not trade the tyranny of a dictator for the tyranny of a mob.” Those countries’ leaders “need to do everything they can to restore security” in the face of anti-American protests arising from an “awful Internet video,” she said. “Clinton said the four victims’ lives – as well as all people who work in the Foreign Service – “are at the heart of what makes America great and good.” “America must keep leading the world. We owe it to the these four men to continue the long, hard work of diplomacy,” Clinton said. “We will wipe our tears and stiffen our spines and face the future undaunted.” “Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Vice President Joe Biden also attended the ceremony.”

“Asked what the Libyan government was doing to ensure security, (head of Libya’s ruling General National Congress, Mohammed Al-Megaryefal) Megaryef answered, “We are doing our best to avoid further attacks.” But he acknowledged that authorities had little capacity to defend against the powerful extremist groups. “State Department Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy has said that the attack appeared to be planned because it was so extensive and because of the “proliferation” of small and medium weapons at the scene. He was briefing congressional staffers when he offered that theory. “But on Thursday, three U.S. officials told CNN that they had seen no evidence the attack was premeditated. “A team of FBI investigators is expected to be in Libya by Saturday, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN. Agents are first conducting interviews outside the country to gather information about the attack, the source said. “Obama vowed Thursday that those responsible for the attack would be brought to justice. “I want people around the world to hear me. To those that would do us harm – no act of terror will go unpunished. It will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.”
