As we now know that there were American drones over the area, sending streaming video back to the White House Situation Room in real time,

As we now know that there were military forces in the area, which could have come to the aid of the besieged embassy staff in relatively short order (planes within an hour, commandos within three hours, whereas the entire attack stretched out over seven hours),

As we now know that military men repeatedly requested permission to intervene, and were repeatedly denied that permission (and two of the four fatalities were men who finally defied the ‘stand-down’ order and went out on their own initiative to try and do whatever they could for fellow Americans),

As we now know that our Commander-in-Chief, still without taking action or allowing anyone else to do so, finally went to bed with the situation still unresolved because he had to be at a Las Vegas fundraiser the next day,

(Oh, and he skipped his security briefing the following morning, but he does that about 60% of the time anyway)

As we now know all these things, there is only one possible conclusion.

Mister President: Resign. Now.

If you had any shred of honor, you would have resigned already. (Of course, that same shred would have moved you to do something, anything, while your own people were being murdered.) If you have any desire to imitate the appearance of honor, you must resign.

You’re not fit to lead this nation. You’re not fit to lead anything.

Resign.

We’re going to kick your ass out of office anyway. Go ahead and get it over with.
