BO Admin. Lied About Benghazi

Probably because BO was running for reelection and he didn't want American voters to know the truth. Now, even some low level Dems are running for cover.

I can't believe Bob Schieffer and "Face the Nation" actually gave this airplay Sunday.

what, at this point, does it even matter? Right?

Treanous turds.
 
I admit knowing BO put his political agenda ahead of safeguarding , then trying to save American lives and finally lying and stonewalling about it surprises me.
It is no secret I do not agree with his ideology but I still wnated to think he was someone who took his job seriously.

The more that comes out every day the more chilling it is as we learn what he and his admin did and didn't do..

To refuse to let our military try to save them ??
Then to lie about it all?

She apparently, if the people who will be testifying Wed are to be believed played a larger role in the cover up than previously thought
"On the night of Sept. 11, as the Obama administration scrambled to respond to the Benghazi terror attacks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a key aide effectively tried to cut the department’s own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making, according to a “whistle-blower” witness from that bureau who will soon testify to the charge before Congress, Fox News has learned.

That witness is Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the agency’s counterterrorism bureau. Sources tell Fox News Thompson will level the allegation against Clinton during testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Fox News has also learned that another official from the counterterrorism bureau — independently of Thompson — voiced the same complaint about Clinton and Under Secretary for Management "

Since it is only Fox news reporting this we will have to wait until they testify to see if they say thre same things.
 
The whole thing doesn't make sense. The explanations I've heard about election season, Arab spring and all that, to me, aren't sufficient arguments for how the O Admin conducted themselves.

Why not allow a rescue mission?
Why not call it what it was?
What was the downside of doing the right thing?

If it comes down that O's reelection team didn't want to have a failed rescue mission hanging over their heads 45 days before an election, I think my head will explode.

And we're suppose to be excited that Hillary's got next?
 
So BO apparently will not comment on these whistlebowers revelations
BO has decided on continuing to deny that his admin tried to stop these whistleblowers from testifying.
Yes that's the ticket, try to change to subject
I wonder who BO admin is coaching right now to discredit these whistleblowers.
 
So Obama's promise to "strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government" didn't happen? Shocked, I tell you.
 
BO's alibi will be that he couldn't have anything to do with it. He went to bed at 9 that night so he could get up early and fly to a campaign event.
he couldn't have his rest disturbed by the murder of an ambassador and other Americans.

so he is innocent.

I've never voted for Obama and so I was not defending him; I was merely pointing out that all pols lie and people frequently die.

As for that POS Nixon, he ran for president in 1968 with a secret plan for ending the Viet Nam war which he could not share with us; the war lasted several more years, nothing additional was accomplished and a couple of my friends died providing cover for a pack of politicians.

It is insane to point fingers at W or Obama or whoever holds that office and pretend the others were not as bad; or, conversely, it is insane to act like one is a big improvement over the others.

Nobody who is any good has any chance getting elected to congress, much less president.
 
huis?
It seems you are suggesting that since most if not all pols lie we should just ignore it when it happens?
Yes yes yes many other pols and POTUSES have done wretched jobs and will do it in the future
do you think that means we should not try to hols a pres accountable and try to get answers?
sorry I don't agree that because some POl in the past did something means we should just turn a blind eye.
 
Today the "whistle blowers" testified before Congress. Doesn't sound like too much new was learned:

Susan Rice was sent out to shovel a load of crap down the American public's throat, but we don't know who briefed her and sent her out.

Hillary called the second in command, Hicks, at 2 in the morning, but didn't ask if it was terrorism or a demonstration, which seems odd.

Mark Thompson, a Marine, said he was rebuffed by the WH when he asked for a group of specialists to rebuff the attack.

'That's what I got out of it, oh, and, the Dems seemed to be more interested in protecting the BO Admin than getting at the truth.

The liberal media, like Yahoo, largely ignored it. I had to really dig through the puff pieces on Kim K to find it there.
 
huisache,
Allow me a mulligan and I'll play it this way instead:

I guess the Dems are going to have to retire the bumper stickers they printed up - the ones that said "When Clinton lied, nobody died".
 
Where was the outrage and investigations?

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

June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al Qaeda attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.

October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of "Bali Bombings." No fatalities.

February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.

December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine 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 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.
 
paso..I believe the difference is that W never tried to lie to the American people about who was to blame for the attacks. BO was in the final days of his campaign and didn't want to blame terrorists for the attack.
 
paso

Do you think that we shouldn't investigate the Benghazi incident just because perhaps those incidents were not?

Really? How long are you going to play the ' well well He did it or He didn't do it' so by God BO should not be held accountable.

I thought you voted for BO because he would be so much better. guess not


edit to ask
was help requested and refused?
 
Perhaps a few of the liberal media are starting to see an opportunity to feather their own nests with a Benghazi scandal. A surprisingly candid piece by ABC...
