题目: Re: The cover up of Watergate was not the fault of the president nor anyone in his administration.
(V): There were ground troops nearby who could have gone in, but they were told to stand down too. Anyone who could have helped was told to do nothing. It could have been resolved in a few hours. With ground troops present and jets flying overhead, I'll wager many of those terrorists would have scattered and ran away to avoid being killed... so we could have spared the lives of some of them as well. See? The lives of some of those killers could have been spared.
The president is commander and chief of the military. No one in the military outranks him. The commander and chief has worked faithfully to undercut the military and make it less effective. And when the time came for him to make a decision, he worked tirelessly to sit on his hands and do nothing, and he told the military to do likewise.
This is no longer speculation...we now know this was not a spontaneous event set off by a youtube video, and warnings were repeatedly ignored. It happened on 9/11 of last year, the anniversary of the 9/11 we all know about, and only a few months to go before Obamas re-election.
