Redneck... Keep putting your bigotry on display. Good thing they didn't pick a black member of Congress from the South. I bet a bigot like you would really have something to say about him. Eh, Donald?

lol 10,000 people killed in auto accidents and you insist on going on and on and on about the one I backed over.
Outrage about the killings are as always directed at those who killed them. Outrage directed at Team Obama is twofold, that they poorly planned both security and response (which may be totally unfounded) and that they lied and spun to make themselves look better (which is unarguably true.) I'm unconvinced about the validity of the former and unexcited about the latter, but let's at least be honest about it.
Finally! Time for some heads to roll and I hope one of them is that wicked witch, Hillary!
It's going to be super hilarious if the Ukraine situation escalates and Republicans are still wasting State Department's time over 20 month old talking points.
Boo-hoo-hoo.
It's the drunk looking bitter face of the new GOP, like it or not:
:biggrin:
It's so awesome to see the principles and ideology of party implode in their entirety over a non-story. This is going to be so epically bad for Repubs, yet so fun to watch. Bring it on! Haha.
Yep, and those WMD'S are still out there...
lol +1
Yep, and well said.This.
I struggle to see how this is hard to get. But there were a lot of sleight of hand maneuvers by the administration to confuse the issue, not the least of which was their adamant insistence that they had limited influence over talking points (clearly a lie). Yea, the administration clearly chose to craft and push a cover about what occurred and led to the deaths at Benghazi instead of telling the truth, but lets keep bastardizing common sense as long as our team is punished by the application of simple common sense.
The left is going bonkers trying to defend the indefensible here. Can't say I understand it, but the same nonsense follows each team whenever they are in similar positions. In the end the nonsense is bad for everybody, I'm quite content to say that in our current political environment that this kind of nonsense is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on party affiliation. But here with the current administration and benghazi, what harm is calling a spade a spade?, the real harm is in buying into the nonsense.
One of the pleasant things to take notice from this and similar issues is that the opposition to those in power should be taken seriously if for the sole reason that their skepticism has in the past been warranted. If we look back, we can see where Dems had valid points that were bastardized when Repubs held power and vica versa. The agendas on both sides are so corrupt and full of deceit that the silver lining is that at least it gets exposed somewhat by opposition of any kind.
Are they complying with FOIA lawsuits because they have not yet gone full rogue, or because they are just beyond caring what we know?Kerry has been subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee to answer accusations that the State Department has been "illegally withholding subpoenaed material" from Congress, action that could "constitute a criminal offense."
It took a FOIA lawsuit by Judicial Watch to get the latest releases.
I guess the good news is that although the feds think nothing of ignoring Congress, they are still complying with FOIA lawsuits. Our government has not gone full rogue - yet. /s

That's a hell of a question. I've heard musings of this being bigger than Watergate and we ended up with a President resigning on that one. But I think we'd have to have a press willing to actually do their jobs to reach that kind of pinnacle. Obama is safe for the rest of his term.Are they complying with FOIA lawsuits because they have not yet gone full rogue, or because they are just beyond caring what we know?
At least a dozen Americans died in Embassy attacks from 2001 to the end of 2008 and there was no outrage... hmmm....
....
During a National Security Council briefing, the admiral in charge asked precisely how far U.S. aircraft would be permitted to retaliate against Libyan aircraft. Reagan answered: "All the way into their hangar," into Libya itself.
That's a hell of a question. I've heard musings of this being bigger than Watergate and we ended up with a President resigning on that one. But I think we'd have to have a press willing to actually do their jobs to reach that kind of pinnacle. Obama is safe for the rest of his term.
So, the answer at this point in time is that they don't care. Once again, from what I'm hearing the ultimate fall guy is going to be an underling whose fall from grace will barely make a splash. Make no mistake about it though, he was acting as a faithful soldier should, protecting the supreme leader. Nothing was to tarnish the image of Obama and certainly not with an election weeks away. They couldn't have pesky facts negating his proclamations. If the man says he's parted the sea, they surely can't have boats out bobbing around on it.
Politician's across the land learned a great deal from Watergate. Mistakes of that caliber will not be repeated. Insulating, isolating, obfuscations and outright lying are the order of the day. We will not have another President unseated - of any party.
Obama still has his pen and he still has his phone. 990 days to go.

January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed.

March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name "David Foy." This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what's considered American soil.)
September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting "Allahu akbar" storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.

July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.
September 17, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.
Do you think the Republicans will ever get around to investigating these embassy attacks? Why are the Democrats such better human beings than Republicans? Democrats (being decent people) didn't try to turn any of these attacks into political gain. How much longer are we going to allow the Republicans to act in such a despicable treasonous manner?
Who cares about the Bengazi attacks? It's a non-issue. A common tragedy in a world with terrorists.
