Dick Cheney: Subpoena Hillary on Benghazi
- Thread starter Roger35
- Start date
I agree with Cheney that Hillary should be subpoenaed. However, I also think Bolten, Rove, Taylor, and Miers should have been forced to testify. If they wanted to assert privilege to specific questions, that's fine (though a judge should ultimately make the ruling on the applicability of the privilege). However, just blowing off a subpoena should never be acceptable. Rove should have been arrested and thrown in the slammer for that.

The one that bothers me is Sandy Berger: There is no way he did what he did without being asked.

Where were the subpoenas 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.
May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al Qaeda terrorists storm the diplomatic compound, killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.
July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.
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 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.
January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.
March 18, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.
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.

Clean
YOu called it.
Right below your post Paso did exactly that. Played the ol " Bush did it too card"
Paso needs to answer whether the Diplomat Foy asked for more security or warned of attacks days prior
and Paso needs to answer whehter help was called for and denied during these attacks
and as long as we are playing the " Bush did it too" card paso should know whether Bush went to sleep during any of those attacks so he could go campaign the next day.
And of course Paso should answer whether or not the Bush admin went to the public and blamed any of those attacks on something which had no relevance.

I am giving Rice a ' plausible deniability" on her spouting the BO lies.
She had zero to do with this before and during it . It looks like they picked her after Hollary said she didn't want to be the goat.
So using someone like Rice is understandable. She can always say, as she is, that she knew nothing>
I hope for her sake she suspected plenty.
That she would do it though is reason enough to not let her advance into any approval needed position.

This place really is just a pathetic Faux News echo chamber. The numerous examples of embassy attacks during the Bush Administration demonstrate that (1) attacks on our embassy and personnel are not some rare occurrences and (2) Congress did not investigate these incidents. It demonstrates what the overwhelming majority of the American public already realize which is that this false outrage is politically motivated ********.
You guys have fun with your circle jerk.

If you can post a link showing how those cuts were applied, whether they were applied as across the board cuts or whether they were selective cuts... then if you can show why in the face of repeated security requests, the state department did not go to the House and inform them that the embassy was in immediate danger and in need of additional aid, and that request was refused... then you can make your point.
This is like claiming that a 2 percent cut in the budget is causing air traffic controllers to get furloughed. Just because you claim it's so doesn't mean there weren't other options available. You're claiming that these cuts automatically meant that security at high risk embassy HAD to be cut. I don't know that by any stretch based on what you're posting.
I would also point out that had funding really been the problem, the president would have been on the news 24-7 showing how those GOP funding cuts have cost the lives of noble and hard-working public servants. The silence on that front is deafening.

Prod
the official State Dept talking head said during her testimony the cuts has NOTHING to do with how State assigned security to any embassy or consulate.
This is a matter of record and lying about it over and over will not change that
paso must get his talking points from Chris Matthews

"Four Board members were selected by the Secretary of State and one member from the intelligence community (IC) was selected by the Director for National Intelligence. Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering served as Chairman, with Admiral Michael Mullen as Vice Chairman. Additional members were Catherine Bertini, Richard Shinnick, and Hugh Turner, who represented the IC." Yeah, that's the ticket!. Read an "independent" board's review!

And I'm betting you didn't either. President Obama is not mentioned at all in the "report", and Clinton is only mentioned in that she appointed the review board.
So a report that is hand-picked and never actually even bothers to interview the SOS is somehow relevant how? I'm not sure how a report like that is really worth reading. But if it will make you feel better, I'll make a deal with you: I'll read it if you will.

So Paso you want to keep blaming Bush for Obama's problems, answer the questions posed? C;mon tough internet guy....
What did Bush do on the night of the attacks? What did he do next day? What did he tell the American People the next day? What did he have his adminstration blame those attacks on?
Nobody is blaming Obama for the attacks, it is how he operated during the attacks when American lives were at risk and how he explained it to the American people.
Talking about being tired of ones ****, really tired of yours and Obama's..........
People died and from the Adminstration it was because of a YouTube Video.
********!!!!
I never heard anyone from W's administration put any blame on anything other than what it was.
End of story and quit trying to deflect blame it is a shame this guy is the POTUS, a crying shame and we are a laughing stock around the world.
