Ex-White House Official On Benghazi: 'Dude, This Was Like Two Years Ago'

The State Department knew within hours on the day of the attack that it was not a protest, but was an attack by Islamist terrorists. It had absolutely nothing to do with a video.

...and they said that too.
 
You might be talking of whatever fantasy of the day, I was ridiculing the pointless question of "Where was he when it happened?"

Hardly pointless. If you understand that the president gives the military orders to act, and you apparently don't, then it's rather important whether or not he was in a position to know exactly what was going on and thereby in a position to issue an order. The best accounting we have now is that the president told "you guys can handle it", and ducked and ran to where ever. If you know more, a large portion of this country would like to know your inside wisdom. Otherwise, just sit in southern England and wish you had what you once did.
 
Progressives have taken the route of: "so what if it was a cover-up."

Progressives are incapable of judging their own "leaders" or questioning their own political philosophy.

Why is the question pointless? It's very important to know what the Commander in Chief was doing. Was it to the press secretaries telling the President, The Secretary of State, and the Ambassador to the UN what to say? Is it Ben Rhodes who should be explaining to the American people what happened during a time of crisis?
 
at what cost?

We don't know 'at what cost'. but what we do know that the men who are signed up and trained for these missions want to save their compatriots in times of trouble and are more than willing to risk their lives in order to do so. They are men, not boys.
 
'Dude, This Was Like Two Years Ago'

I'd like to see that used in court as a murder defense. "Dude, that so like 5 years ago. It's done. He's dead. We've moved on."

I almost gave this a "like" but, for that, you must change Progressives to either party loyalists or politicians because this behavior is not limited to a single party or political lean.
 
Don't be silly.

What's silly? The President goes into hiding, Ben Rhodes tells the President, the Sec Of State and the UN Ambassador to say a video was behind this 'protest' and that's just what they do. Ben Rhodes, a political press guy, is pulling the strings behind the curtains on this hapless bunch.

It's certainly important, however progressives are satisfied with the partisan MSM perspective...

RINO's, communists or whatever...

They're all nasty....

I see a suffering public - a jobless public that is being manipulated by elitists for personal gain.... The government is evil and lies - where do you fall?

If the conspiracy theorists here had any respect for law and order, then Oliver North would still be breaking rocks somewhere secure.
 
Thank You for this fine post.. SPOT ON...

I pray people wake up to the fraud Obama is..this is a powerful part of the mosaic of this horrid cover up

Yes, it's odd that a member of the Muslim Brotherhood should get a copy of that memo but not the American media or the American people.

Neither are progressives. ;)
 
Yes; you are implying that we should have helped out that understaffed, non firebase, at some cost, potentially; what cost would have been acceptable?

We do know the cost of doing nothing. Four lives.

What is too costly for you?

Yeah. If a bullfrog had wings...There's no conspiracy theory here - only unanswered questions. If you don't have the answers, then quit suggesting the questions are wrong instead as a dodge.
