Benghazi, Did They Ever Really Care?

marke said:
Patricia Smith did not ask for memorials or charity. She simply asked Hillary Clinton to stop lying and tell her the truth about what happened in Benghazi that resulted in the death of her son. The Obama administration went to great lengths to silence the eyewitnesses, to cover up the facts, and to dismiss public suspicions without evidence or investigation.

Congress, controlled by republicans, held multiple inquiries into Benghazi. The relevant facts came out. No referrals for prosecution were forthcoming.

Hillary is no longer a political factor, therefore there is no useful political purpose to memorialize ambassador Stevens. Hence, the funding was cut.

Stevens is no longer useful to help Trump get re-elected. No need to fund his memorial.

Well, considering the Right would not shut up about Benghazi, this is quite the turn of events. Hey, maybe you can give up on the stupid wall too.

You have no account, just your bitter angry screeching that you thought was an attack but merely proved my point.

You cant answer ANY of the questions asked in the investigations because they were never answered. You cant answer who fabricate the ridiculous orchestrated lies the Obama administration used about the youtube video even after it was well known it was a terrorist attack or why they continued to perpetuate a lie for weeks. You know less than dick about the attack and you dont want to know. All you want to know is that the rat administration was able to avoid responsibility for it because after all...



It wasnt a protest. And it wasnt some guys out for a walk. It was a planned orchestrated attack...one she KNEW was coming and did nothing to prevent.

Well, maybe you should write your congressman to investigate. Oh, wait! They did, for four years.

Funny you all could not prove a ****ing thing.

Shame you throw Stevens under the bus now....when his corpse is no longer useful.

I wonder how much the Obama administration thought about them when they were pleading for help.

About as much as Republicans when they cut funding for security, I am sure.

I suppose Hillary proves right in the end. Republicans don't care, democrats don't care and there is no doubt Hillary does not care, so Patricia is just out of luck. Nobody cares about how or why her son died or why the reasons for the failure in US support were never explained.

You are either blissfully ignorant of the hours and hours of public testimony that is available to everyone or you are deliberately spreading falsehoods in support of your own agenda.

Hillary never lied about Benghazi but the CIA sure did. No one cared what the CIA did since it was all about "getting Hillary".

No one even bothered with the CIA, at least not until they started pointing out that Donny was a Russian mole.

Yep...thats the point. They lied...they stonewalled. They hid emails. They destroyed servers. And you thought that was just swell.

Easy question for you...

who fabricated this lie that the administration used for weeks?



If you cant answer that question, why not? Hillary Clinton knew it was a terrorist attack the night of the attack and informed several people by email of that fact. Then, the bull**** youtube story became their unified talking point. Who fabricated the lie? WHo orchestrated the lie? Thats an easy one to answer.

We all see how little the Right cares about these dead souls. Trump made it a point to piss on their graves. And, his supporters defend it...like good little sheep.

Is this your idea of a debate? repeating the same exact thing over and over again. DEM administration could not act to save the living and a REP administration cuts funding for the dead.
Is it really equal?
You could have picked so many other subjects where the REP's could logically be considered less compassionate. This topic is not the one you have a winning hand.

The Stevens memorial fund wouldn't make a tiny pimple on the windfall tRumps tax plan was for the rich; which was/is the major cause of tRumps deficits.
 
The bigger story here is that the budget "cuts $420 million from its educational and cultural programs", more than than "$5 million for the Stevens Initiative"... trump has gutted the state department and as much money as he can that doesn't go to benefit him and his corrupt donors and allies as he can.

Hillary told Patricia Smith a lie on September 14, 2012, that a movie sparked the violence at the Benghazi complex where her son was killed. For whatever reason dozens of Obama administration officials promoted that lying narrative for weeks, probably for reasons related to the protection of Obama's reputation leading up to the 2012 election.

This fact came out in later Congressional investigations into the Benghazi attack:

On October 22, 2015, it was revealed that Clinton had emailed her daughter Chelsea at 11:12 on September 11 that the officers had been killed by an 'Al-Queda like group.'

Hillary never lied? Which narrative then was true? Was the Benghazi attack sparked by a conservative American movie like she said on Sept. 14, 2012, or was the attack sparked by a terror group linked to Al-Queda like she said on September 11, 2012?

Wait a minute! Where did you get this information? You said Obama suppressed this information. How can you say it came out in congressional investigations? You can't have it both ways. Further, in spite of this massive GOP plan to exploit the deaths of these public servants for their own political agendas, not a single charge was referred for prosecution. Why is that?

Not to worry. Ambassador Stevens and the others who perished no longer serve the GOP or Trump agendas. Hence the cutting of the funding.

Yep, the GOP's Benghazi grave-tap-dancing has come to an end.

No, it's my idea of winning the debate, because you have no answer for it. All you have is Fox News spin, talking points that could not even garner a single indictment.

Christopher Stevens was a useful tool for the Republican party to try and destroy Hillary Clinton with. That was all he ever was to them.

All the way through ten investigations.

And promptly forgotten the day after the election.

There were dozens of Americans in the Benghazi Annex that night who were told never to talk to anyone about what they knew about the attack. I find that strange. I don't think Obama allowed the witnesses to talk even 3 years later in the Congressional investigation.

Hillary had two different versions of the attack. She emailed her daughter on Sept 11, 2012 that the attack was a terror attack carried out by terrorists associated with Al-Queda. During the following several weeks after that she publicly claimed the attack was not a terror attack but a spontaneous riot sparked by a movie made by a conservative American film maker.

Rubbish unless you can provide a credible link. We won't hold our breath.

Truth that you do not know is not rubbish, it is Truth, one of if not the most valuable thing around.

You sure do seem lost.
