    US didnt think or care about our own people when “planning” this? Shocking.

    I do hope they find a way out…

      I would assume it’s part of the plan.

      Getting Americans killed can be turned into maga propaganda quite easily. It’s not like the cult members are going to blame Trump.

      To be fair, Israel fired the first shots when they learned about a gathering of high profile diplomats who could all be murdered together. They did the schoolgirls at the same time just because that’s how Israelis roll.

      It seems like the US didn’t anticipate things popping off at this somewhat earlier than expected juncture. But also, that US leadership doesn’t really give a shit how many American lives are lost fighting Israel’s wars for them, so there’s that too.

      The impression I’ve been getting is that there wasn’t any time to make a plan anyway. I mean, even if there had been time, I doubt this group of geniuses would have been able to put together anything coherent , but it seems to me as though US negotiators were getting close to a good peace deal, Israel got wind of it, decided to literally bomb it, and this admin is too fascist and spineless to refuse to follow Israel into a war of aggression.

      So, yeah, not that there would have been a good plan anyway, but I think this was almost as much of a surprise to the admin as it was to the rest of us.

      Not a part of the leadership’s plan. Now if we were made of crude oil, we’d be carefully extracted.

      They did. They just don’t care.

      Remember Benghazi?

      While there were some light moments about the former secretary of state’s sleeping habits and legal fees, much of the day was dedicated to examining the circumstances surrounding the attacks on the American compound in Libya, her email practices and, of course, the real intentions of the investigation.
