Re: Obama Administration Officials Threatened Whistle-Blowers On Benghazi, Lawyer Say
Exactly. Republicans keep insisting there's a cover-up...of what? What's being covered up?
David Gregory of NBC's 'Meet the Press' asked the same question of John McCain. His answer was -
"Of the information concerning the deaths of four brave Americans," McCain replied. "The information has not been forthcoming. You obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn't. And I'll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including 'What did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi?'"
And to leftists, the question is kind of silly in itself....If we knew what was being covered up, there wouldn't be a cover up would there? So the question itself is a silly dodge.
We know 4 Americans are dead. We know there were fundamental flaws in the processes which were supposed to keep them safe. What exactly is being hidden?
There are five basic questions that should be the foundation of any conclusive investigation. Who?, What?, Where?, When?, and Why? So far all we have is the "When?" and you want to brush it off and say it doesn't matter.
Let's quit the political posturing and focus on what's important, which is how to prevent it from happening again.
Oh, NOW you want to focus on preventing it from happening again? So unlike the 6 years of "Bush lied, people died" mantra we heard from your ilk for 6 years straight...Wonder why that is?
The blame game is a waste of time.
No, it is one of the very investigative questions that MUST be answered to reach a reasonable conclusion, and prevent this in the future.
If there was someone who clearly violated the rules of their job, then they deserve to be fired.
Including the President.
But that's not an issue for the national media,...
What? Then you clearly don't want an independent, investigative media serving the people.
that's an issue for whatever department is responsible for that person.
So you agree that a special select committee should be convened?
Let's quit wasting time trying to use the deaths of Americans as political fodder for the next election and let's spend the time making sure we do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Are you kidding here? At every turn this administration concocts crisis built on the deaths of American's to politically get their agenda through without proper scrutiny, or questioning. Now, because it is not only embarrassing, but possibly criminal in its cover up, and lying to the American people during an election, you want to get out that big broom and just brush it under the rug....
NO.
No, you don't. YOU don't need to know that. The people responsible for those who made any potential mistakes need to know. You don't need to know anything.
Our government serves at the consent of the governed....What we should, or should not know is a matter of our representatives in congress.
Only if something bad happened. Whenever something good happens, the President had nothing to do with it.
Oh, Boo, freaking Hoo! This President has unprecedented support from a complicit media. So cry me a river. :roll:
I'm not tying anything.
Shield them from what? What exactly are you accusing them of?
Failing to come to the aid of American's under attack by enemy forces.
Lying about the events of the incident.
Covering up facts to further a political election.
Lying to the American people.
Stonewalling congress.
Collusion
Witness tampering
Abuse of power
For starters.
I think anytime a situation exposes flaws it's reasonable to say the flaws need to be addressed. Are you saying we shouldn't address the flaws, as long as we have a scapegoat?
It isn't about "scapegoating" anyone, it is about accountability, and transparency....When Obama took office in 2009 he promised that his administration would be "the most transparent, the most accountable in American history..." Yeah, not so much eh?
Seriously, it's time to move on. Everyone knows it was not the video. You're bringing it up shows complete political posturing. Let it go already.
I believe that the maker of the video is still in Jail, No? pfft....Let it go....:roll: How about you libs stop trying to brush the deaths of 4 brave Americans under the rug like so much debris....It's offensive.
Yes, because THAT'S more important than finding out WHY the process failed the four dead Americans.
I know you're trying to be sarcastic here, but in mockery, comes grains of truth...Because this is exactly what liberals aiding and abetting the President's cover up are doing.
Let's drop any and all concerns for our other ambassadors and intelligence gatherers and simply engage in a political inquiry which serves no purpose other than trying to gather future votes.
It is really funny, because this is the exact line of thinking of hacks like Lawerence O'Donnell on MSNBC are parroting as useful idiots of this administration. And that you, and others come in here and just regurgitate the same line of thinking is an astonishing exercise in recognizing the effects of propaganda.
That's what you want. I want to prevent more tragedies and you want to talk about a video. I guess that just shows where our priorities differ.
How? You can't prevent anything if you don't even want to know the truth....Nah, you're not interested in anything other than covering the lies of this administration.
