    So now you agree with me about merging banks. Go figure.

    The link is nothing more than another "Heritage Foundation" media front. The article is based on the allegations of someone who by his own admission "I was not invited to that after-hours endeavor, but I heard about it and decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon," placing anything he says firmly in the realm of pure speculation.

    You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face.

    Well, at least you acknowledge that he wasn't there. The guy has a bone to pick over his treatment. Maybe it's legitimate, maybe it's not. However, the facts stand that he wasn't there. So this "bombshell" is nothing more than speculation from a disgruntled employee who has been more than happy to jump through hopes for the media circus.

    Government does not 'participate' but instead directs through tax law and regulation.

    Uh....there were no Marines in the official embassy in Tripoli either...The problem was simple, there was no real security anywhere, just paper security provided by unarmed locals and tiny numbers of contract security folk coupled with inadequate State dept security folk.

    Lying? Like I said before, you wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face. Of course you don't recognize that because it is beyond your capabilities.

    Dude! You just said you were still a birther! perhaps the only one left!

    For you of all people to say "when I'm wrong I admit it". Is the funniest damn thing I've heard in years! I just shot macaroni out of my nose! You need to come clean all of this off my tablet.

    the metropolitan area isn't just chicago, it's lots of other cities and towns, too

    and why did you welsh on the bet and admit you would have lost?

    The Chicago metropolitan area, or Chicagoland, is the metropolitan area associated with the city of Chicago, Illinois, and its suburbs. It is the area that is closely linked to the city through geographic, social, economic, and cultural ties. It ain't the rest of Illinois.

    Too big to fail was not the problem. It was the reason for the bank bailout. There is a difference.

    Yes it is, the banks themselves were 'too big to fail' and heavily invested in the real estate craze and the reason they had to be bailed out. Small banks are much more conservative.

    I don't know if this is accurate or not as the embassy in Tripoli was abandoned earlier this year. I do know that the US Marines were responsible for the evacuation of the embassy.

    Of course it had no real bearing on the events at Benghazi so it's fundamentally irrelevant.

    Only if assigned to do so. Marines follow the orders given. In this case, the person in charge is the Secretary of State.
