Mitt Romney Met Navy Seal Killed In Benghazi A day after blasting President Barack Obama's handling of the deadly assault by militants on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya last month, Mitt Romney revealed on Tuesday that he had met one of the four Americans killed in the attack. The Republican presidential candidate departed from an otherwise upbeat campaign speech to recount a chance meeting with Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL who was among three Americans who died with US Ambassador Christopher Stevens in the attack on Sept. 11. Romney said he and his wife, Ann, were at their vacation home in La Jolla, California around Christmas a couple of years ago when they received a flyer inviting them to a neighborhood party. On the night of the party, Romney saw lights on at a nearby house and people on the porch. The Romneys went there. "We came in, they had dinner, we had dinner together, we got pictures of everybody," Romney recalled. "It turns out this was not the neighborhood party. This was a family having a party with their friends." There were several military people at the party; Doherty was one of them. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, said he learned that Doherty was from his home state. Doherty told Romney he had served in the Middle East, cared about the people there and looked forward to returning. | From: IBringFireNews Views: 0 0 ratings | |
