White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.[W:324]

Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

Ok, **** this, I can't not comment anymore.

The right using this as a political tool is almost as disgusting as the left using Sandy Hook.

There have been embassy attacks under pretty much every president. It sucks, but we want to intervene in every **** hole everywhere, and this will continue to happen until we correct course.

Conservatives, you are being used and manipulated by fox news just like dip**** liberals are being fed talking points by MSNBC. Seriously, take the ****ing red pill.

I mean, sweet ****. I know I'll spend my day swatting off pissed off conservatives because of this, but somebody had to say it.

Go ahead and blow up my who quoted me. I might even respond, but I'm really burned out from work, and on top of that, I'm tired today. At least think about what I said before you respond with red faced partisan rage.

Personally, I am not going to keep silent about how badly this white house handled Benghazi just because many on the left are going to label my comments as "partisan". It would be different if it were not for the fact that the white house has been stonewalling every investigation about Benghazi. They have been basically trying to ride it out by stammering: "Move on....there is nothing to see here". The problem is.....in the very least, the administration outright lied to the American public for two solid weeks following the attacks and as of yet, none of the terrorists who committed the act have been captured or killed. Nevermind the partisan politics....I just want answers.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

Lol, now you're asking us to believe a country just recently removed from the state sponsor of terrorism list, with an Islamist-backed leader - instead of a far more plausible possibility like the Muslim world going nuts over a video making fun of their prophet. Your partisanship is showing. If the state department chose to ignore the words of the Islamist backed government in Libya, I don't blame them. :shrug:

Has the President of Libya been caught in as many lies as the President of the US? We can compare lists perhaps.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

no, Democrats tried to use the tragedy to push a political agenda.

The democrats were attempting to use Sandy Hook to push gun control. The republicans are only trying to find out why the president lied to us for two weeks, failed to mount a rescue effort, and refused repeated requests for added security.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

yep, our monochromatic political system has turned into a real pile of hyperpartisan ****. thanks, gerrymandering.

You can blame the hyper-partisanship on the lack of congressional term limits. There is simply too much entrenched power in DC.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

you guys act just like 9/11 truthers, and that's how non-fox America looks at you. you're virtually indistinguishable from them, other than you have an entire network pushing the story.

yes, i care that people died. this is why i would pull all of our troops out of that entire region, and i would close all of the embassies there. it's a hostile part of the world, and our own house is falling apart. get them the **** out of there.

fox did not spend two years worth of news cycles on any of these :



this is absolutely political. the right thinks they have some kind of gotcha just like the dems do every time there's a shooting. it's annoying at best and disgusting at worst.

here's my advice : give up on this one. it isn't watergate, and you're being fed a line of bull**** by a fake news network that is designed to feed you propaganda. the rest of the country is not going to support kicking the president out of office over this any more than it will support putting Bush on trial.

here's what you need to do : run a candidate in 2016 who isn't a bat**** loony far right moron. choose one who is better than the democrat, run him or her, and actually try to sell your ideas to the American people. as it stands, your side has gone absolutely insane during the Obama years, and EVERYTHING you've done has been a shot fired in some hyperpartisan war with him. ****, i thought the dems were bad under Bush, but this **** is absolutely insane. the only thing you guys haven't done that they did is to make some ****ty snuff film about him. you don't like the president. fine; i'm not a huge fan either. by the time Bush was out, i was so sick of him that anything else looked good. however, i didn't go online trumpeting every embassy attack that happened on his watch, because that would have been stupid. instead, i talked about his policies, what i didn't like about them, and solutions that i support. you know, like debating.

you guys really are Benghazi truthers. you need to know that a lot of us look at you that way, and feel that this **** should be in CT. correct course, and make your platform look better than the other side. that's how you win; not this bull****.

Nobody in DC attempted to coverup or lie to the American people about those 13 other Benghazis that you listed.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

In the parlance of Canadian politics, ass covering.


Why else would the White House, the final bastion of the fee world, responsible for troop deployments in a hot war, and all over the world, on the anniversary of 911, think that You Tube was a priority?

You Tube's not even a priority with kids anymore, but the White House, with a rocket attack underway against US soil, the lives of four Americans in peril, has to contact You Tube and not say, the admiral of the nearest aircraft carrier unit.

This president is all image and no substance......this is the guy that staged a fake fainting spell of a pregnant woman to hide behind in the aftermath of "If you like your plan..."


Says it all

It appears even some dems are done with him.

What? At least be coherent. If your official position is that... we take the words of Islamists at face value now, then just state it. It would go well with the hardcore interventionist/conspiracy theorist you've become lately.

You seem to believe he is responsible for the state departments problems and that he himself personally denied the requests for security.

Now Obama is promising to get to the bottom of the VA deaths as he did about Fast and Furious, the IRS and Benghazi, Hurricane Sandy relief delays and so on.

Does anyone still believe this incompetent?

i think you might have a bit of a blind spot. the Republicans are absolutely trying to use this tragedy as a political tool. it has annoyed me for years, and i finally just couldn't take it any more. when i was a libertarian, i watched fox regularly during the time period of a lot of the other attacks, and they never went after the Bush administration with two years of saturation coverage.

gerrymandering. most of the problems on both sides have serious and deep roots in gerrymandering.

Islamists? I'm talking of the Libyan President. He obviously has more credibility than Barrack Obama.

you have never trusted anything he said to begin with.

I am upset that obama is not demanding shinseki to resign, because he truly was worthless in trying to prevent this abuse.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

i'm disgusted with all of the hyperpartisan nonsense from both sides. stop ****ing up my country.

Were you just as angry at the democrats over the Valerie Plame scandal? If there ever was a partisan witch hunt...That was it.

You seem to believe he is responsible for the state departments problems and that he himself personally denied the requests for security.

We'll see what the inquiry tells us but certainly the Commander in Chief should be involved in these decisions.

libya is in the middle of a civil war where the government has no authority.

Like many I wanted to believe but because of his lack of experience, his glibness, and his supporters trying to hide his past I soon went off the guy.

The buck doesn't stop at Shinseki.

i think the state department is capable of doing things within its jurisdiction.

does every memo need to be seen by the president?
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

libya is in the middle of a civil war where the government has no authority.

So for that reason you don't believe what the Libyan President said? Is that your excuse? You still choose to believe it was all about a video?

It might be a good idea for any American President to keep a watchful eye on things when his people are under attack.

Libyan Parliament Picks New PM After Disputed Vote - TIME

Libya’s parliament swore in an Islamist-backed businessman as the country’s new interim prime minister Sunday after a disputed vote and a walkout by secular lawmakers, the latest political turmoil in a country where powerful militias hold sway years after its civil war.

Libya assembly votes in first Berber as new chief | Reuters

Nouri Abusahmain, from the Amazigh (Berber) minority and a political independent, won 96 votes to opponent Al-Sharif al-Wafi's 80 in a run-off after a first round with nine candidates. He had the backing of the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Justice and Construction Party, lawmakers said.

Seriously, the more you speak - the worse you look. Again, the US government not trusting a country with an Islamist for prime minister and another Islamist as the second most powerful figure? I'm alright with that. :shrug:

i want to see the culprits who were fudging the numbers at the VA to be punished.

i want shinseki to be held accountable for doing nothing and saying nothing about what was going on in the VA.

if either of these were caused by a direct order from the president, then let him be judged accordingly, but if the scandal was bureaucratic incompetence, then punish the buracrates.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

The question is why do me need so many "inquiries"? How many times does the Administration need to be exonerated before Issa gives up? We have had hours of testimony on what happened with no charges filed. Why don't they just file for impeachment if they have so much evidence? This will backfire on the GOP by the way.

None of the inquiries has exonerated the Administration. The Administration has simply stonewalled and attempted to ride it out. Every other administration appoints special prosecuters to get to the bottom of what went on. This administration is simply attempting to avoid scandals by denying they exist. Its the same with the IRS scandal. The "Let's move on...nothing to see tactic is not working for them. At some point the administration is going to have to answer some basic questions such as: Why did they refuse repeated requests for more security? Why did they not mount a rescue effort? And why did they lie to the American people and blame the attack on a you tube video?
