We have at least 4 dead Americans including Ambassador Stevens and you're laughing about it, happy that no new scandals emerged. Must be a victory for you.


No, what's laughable is that you and your ilk try to use the death of these men to play political games. Actually, it's not laughable. It's pathetic. It's indicative of how low faux-conservatives are willing go to strike any possible political blow you can.

This hearing was pointless. As if it changed anything that hasn't already been established. All I see are a bunch of angry Republican Senators being grumpy old men.

So what you are really angry about is that I pointed blame in the direction of Obama and his administration for the deaths of Americans in Libya? How very unreasonable of me to hold accountable the guy that's in charge.
Really? Obama is in charge of the terrorists who killed those Americans? Is that what they're claiming in your nutter bubble? Because, you know, intelligent, rational, sane people blame the actual killers. It's shameful that you and the other Obama haters didn't aim towards those killers even 1% of the outrage you dumped on Obama.

The State Department and the Commander in Chief (Obama) are in charge of their security, but you know that.

I would at first glance say the desperation on the part of Republicans for Benghazi to be a scandal is comparable to the 9/11 truther movement, but the big difference is the Benghazi conspiracy stuff is mainstream Republican thought. At least the truther movement was willing to construct a motive (oil) and work their way back from there. Republicans haven't even produced a plausible motive yet from what I have seen.

Based on my purposely limited reading on this supposed scandal, the Obama administration made one misstep, linking the Benghazi attack to other very recent embassy incidents (something that was entirely plausible and believable at the time), and when that turned out to be premature Republicans sensed some kind of opportunity and dove in headfirst praying for some kind of conspiracy. I guess the outcome of the Monica Lewinsky scandal gave them hope. Keep digging until you find something. Too bad the business of the American people has to take a back seat to all this pointless shit.

She's been "set" to testify before, we'll wait and see.

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/clinton-benghazi-testimony-86611.html?hp=f1

Nothing new revealed about Benghazi. 404 scandal not found.

lol Benghazi.

Looks like that extra month she got for faking a concussion really paid off for her. She got off except for Rand Paul giving her a good scolding.

So this issue is pretty much dead but I'm sure Republicans will bring out the dead horse to beat again when Clinton announces that she's running for President.

See ya all in two years everybody.

If I had my druthers the U.S. should have sent in troops immediately.
1. To help the Americans that were still fighting for their lives.
2. To find and execute the people that made the attack.

Don't try to blame me for the lack of action taken by this administration.

From the link that was posted a few pages ago:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/18/benghazi-attack-report-state-department_n_2326637.html


"It said the response by Diplomatic Security agents on the scene and CIA operatives at a nearby compound that later came under attack itself had been 'timely and appropriate' and absolved the military from any blame. 'There was simply not enough time for armed U.S. military assets to have made a difference,' it said.
The report also discounted speculation that officials in Washington had refused appeals for addition help after the attack had begun.
'The Board found no evidence of any undue delays in decision making or denial of support from Washington or from the military combatant commanders,' it said. To the contrary, the report said the evacuation of the dead and wounded 12 hours after the initial attack was due to 'exceptional U.S. government coordination and military response' that helped save the lives of two seriously wounded Americans."'

4 Americans were killed, obama along with the media blamed it on the video, They attacked the 1st Amendment

They didn't send in any backup but just watched as the Americans were killed, The media ignored the truth to protect obama for the election

Whats not to get outraged about?

What the hell are you talking about? What crazy loon provided you with this little talking point, or did you make it up all by yourself? Are you suggesting the proper response is to send in a combat force to perform a hasty search and destroy for the attackers, and undoubtedly turn one of the few pro-American Muslim populaces against us?

If you want Mono to see that, you probably need to post it in some right-wing blog or publish it as an op-ed in a rightie tabloid like World Nut Daily. That's where he gets his "news". (I suspect AM radio blowhards and forwarded e-mails will also work, but I haven't seen him cite them ... yet.)

I find it odd St. Ronald Reagan is held in such high regard when 250 unarmed Marines were killed in Libya under his watch.

And where were all you big mouths when we lost over 5000 soldiers starting a war under false pretenses????

Where were they? Happy. Nested under a warm blanket of red, white and blue knitted in China by slave labor....

Lebanon, not Libya, and the Marines were not unarmed, just housed in a totally unsecured facility.

Ronaldus Magnus (A.K.A. "cut-and Run Ronnie") redeemed himself to his worshipers by immediately ordering the invasion of Grenada and thereby demonstrating that, whatever our shortcomings in the Middle East, the full might of American arms could kick the crap out of any Cuban construction battalion in the Caribbean.

Stop your pathetic shilling for obama, He said the future doesn't belong to those who insult Muhamad and blamed the video

You are pathetic, You dont seem to have a problem with obama murdering innocent children in Pakistan with drone strikes
