The Benghazi Talking Points And how they were changed to obscure the truth

Regardless, this is mostly smoke and very little fire.
You see... you folks have a problem. They're called 911 and Iraq and for the latter... your disgusting behavior during that time when our men and women were on the field fighting terrorists.

The question is did he KNOW an attack was going to happen with enough time to do something about it.
Exhibit 1: CONNECT-THE-DOTS.
The folks in Benghazi were begging for assistance, and the administration gutted their defense capabilities. You obviously missed or choose to ignore the testimony of the military officer stating he expected an attack and was sickened by being told that he and his men were to leave that post. You folks screamed CONNECT-THE-DOTS after 911.

Remember?

Why didn't the Obama administration heed the cries for their safety long before the attack? They didn't have to CONNECT some obscure dots... they simply had to LISTEN to the folks on the ground and understand they were in the middle of a terror hotbed.

Exhibit 2: UPARMOR
Rumsfeld was left with a gutted military after years of neglect by Clinton. You Libs complained when Rummy said you go to war with the military you have... and whined about the vehicles not being uparmored.

Remember?

Obama had all the capabilities to assist these Americans in Benghazi. He failed to do so.

If so, what is that thing and should it be done? Maybe he could have dropped a whole invasion force on Libya, but was that what should have been done?
This is intellectually bankrupt. It's a sad state of mind when you have to pull this crap to hold onto a political position. But hey... this is the party of Clinton.

The smoke and fire... that's Obama and his crew of liars and deceivers trying to find a way out of the larger than Watergate corner they've painted themselves into.

Nobody died during Watergate.

My disgusting behavior? Maybe you should explain MY disgusting behavior to me.

Now that you're done with the obligatory uber-partisan verbal diarrhea, do you have anything useful to say? (Why do I even ask, you NEVER do.)

Go ahead. Defend Watergate. Defend that POS Spiro Agnew until your last breath. You can't deal with the fact that Republicans did a bad thing. AS I recall, this "gutted military" performed relatively well in Iraq, until it became clear that nobody in the Bush administration planned for Iraqis to shoot back. Maybe if somebody had made a PLAN for after the fall of Saddam it would have gone better. But that's because of Clinton :roll:

You're a Democrat. D's fell into line except one. The guy's name is Lieberman. His party tried to eject him, and used the heavyweights in an attempt.
There is no record for you here during that time, but you're a Lib... and the Libs were the definition of disgusting. Treasonous.

You see... I'm a principled former Commi Lib turned Conservative. I don't defend corruption, and I don't defend Republicans behaving like Democrats. I lambasted Bush for his spending. I hated it.

Want to try again?

You obviously forget the attack on Rummy for the vehicles not being uparmored... and... please... go do some research about Clinton and the military.

As for plans... the military has all manner of plans. These plans are created irrespective of who is President. We might have been, and Iraqi's might have been better off had Clinton acted instead of letting 500,000 children and 500,000 adults die due to Saddam and UN sanctions. Maddie Albright claimed this was 'worth the cost'... a cost that left them at the hands of a brutal dictator.

Have you read Clausewitz's On War? Plans change on first contact with the enemy. It's the nature of war. Or as the Hebrews said long, long ago... Man plans, God Laughs.

I'm not a Democrat for one. You have no record of anything I did, so all you have is your diseased ramblings.

So you can take it back, or admit that you are a lying sack of ****.
 
It's from the WEEKLY Standard. Today's the 5th, so it's more than a wee

Correct, we arrested the guy who made the stupid video didn't we? What else could you expect from the President and Secretary of State to do.

After all we dodged the issue and won an election. Does anything else matter!

Democrats now critical of Rice's Benghazi explanation, amid more damaging evidence | Fox News

add ranking member of house intel, dutch rubbersberger, to those in pelosi's caucus who have come out against foggy bottom's patently political and prevaricating scrub of the cia's informative advisory meant for the american people

as a matter of fact, it is the maryland dem's letter to the cia, asking, "what should i tell my constituents," that got the whole thing started in the first place

according to the email chain in evil issa's possession

ruppersberger---"that's what an investigation is about, let's get the facts"

you'd think so, wouldn't you

don't you find ostriches funny?

just one of the threads this case is unraveling

Issa reveals testimony [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller

precisely because ambassador rice went on cbs' ftn on sunday, 9-15, and contradicted libyan president al magariaf's more candid report that terrorists were responsible for the deaths of stevens, woods, doherty and smith, as well as the serious injuries of an unknown number of others STILL kept hidden from the american people by this strangley secretive white house...

the state dept essentially calling libya a liar contributed significantly to the libyans' decision to expel us intel from the consulate and the city

this isn't news, the nets were all over it at the time

Sources: 15 days after Benghazi attack, FBI still investigating from afar - CNN.com

on sept 24, the nyt reported that cia's inability to access the region amounted to a "catastrophic intelligence loss," a "major setback in intelligence gathering"

regionally speaking, "we got our eyes poked out"

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/24/w...libya-was-major-blow-to-cia-efforts.html?_r=0

this at a time when al qaeda, its affiliates, and various jihadist organizations were---and still are---on the rise in north africa

as reported by nyt on 9-24

as reported by cnn the day before yesterday

Sources: 3 al Qaeda operatives took part in Benghazi attack - CNN.com

al qaeda rising in north africa, libya, egypt, al qaeda active in west africa, nigeria and mali, al qaeda in syria, al qaeda in yemen...

al qaeda in boston?

according to the most trusted name in news, friday, terrorist travelers from aqap, al qaeda arabian peninsula, one of the "most active and dangerous" outfits on earth, are today sought by the fbi for benghazi

they, it turns out, were allegedly participant in that deadly, 3 day barbarity that killed 38 people at the amenas gas facility in south algeria in january

y'see, obamite obfuscations and idiocies have calamitous consequences

ranking intel member ruppersberger says, let's get the facts

and you disagree

where do you go to get back your soul
 
Bubba, this has to be the saddest thing I've read today! :wow: :(

It's pretty bad, isn't it? Must've been frustrating as hell for those poor guys.
