The Marine Hymn is a piece of music that quickly stirs up our patriotism. And while the lyrics are familiar, their meaning sometimes becomes dulled by time for many of us. Just over a month ago, a United States Ambassador and three other Americans were brutally killed in Benghazi, yet another city in the tiny country of Libya, located just a few hundred miles east of Tripoli. These terrible events have brought the meaning of an old and familar refrain front and center once again.As if the pain of losing four of our own is not painful enough, the fantastic charades being carried on by the O Bama administration has added an additional measure of torment to the grieving families and friends of these fine men whom we pray did not die in vain.
Writing in the National Review web site, Missouri Republican Senator, ROY BLUNT, who sits on the Senate Select Committee on Inteligence, provides a concise review of the government's mishandling of the aftermath of this tragedy. If it weren't for the horrific nature of the attack and murders, the bumbling cocophony of explanations being put forth, as late as last night's debate, would be great comic theatre. This president and his band of political operatives, has a lot to answer for.
Finally, our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Barbara Doherty of Winchester, MA, at the tragic loss of her son Glen, one of the former Seals, killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012. Glen was much too good a man to have his death tarnished by the amateurish ineptitude of the O Bama government.
R.I.P. Glen
