Will the Libya scandal lose the election for Obama?

What part of the testimony were you referring to?

I don't know which exact part I watched, I only caught a portion of the entire thing. But the people testifying (at the part I watched) included facts that 1) there was not enough security and had submitted multiple requests 2) that requests for additional security were declined and that security was in fact pulled out 3) that it was not a financial problem, because the security officers on site in Benghazi received a danger pay increase, and 4) that the administration had reason to believe the embassy was likely to be attacked because of some 200 prior incidents throughout the year.
 
Scandal...as if Obama orchestrated these deaths
Get off your pseudo-high horse..
Many more died under Bush and there was no blaming him for their deaths( i don't blame Bush or Obama)
Krauthammer Whitewashes Bush's History To Bash Obama Over Embassy Attack | Research | Media Matters for America

Obama left them to die. What did he tell Pansy Panetta? And did Pansy Panetta do as the president demanded? Then why is the pansy still the secretary of defense?

Obama lied. His minions lied. You already know it. So you are part of the problem.

I don't believe this will change the election's results. But after President Romney is inaugurated I do hope he will appoint a prosecutor to look into Obama's role in Obama's Benghazi Massacre.

Oh wait you didn't.
 
As far as it being "as bad as the Watergate Scandal." No. If Republicans outside Fox (especially Romney) push it too much or in the wrong way it will blow up in their face.

Fact is, Obama's statements fit the reports given by the CIA agencies beneath him at any given point in time. All he has to do is produce the documents and any argument against him is destroyed and discredited.

Secondly, it can't be even remotely comparable to the Watergate Scandal because the Administration hasn't delivered its report. For all we know, someone will be found guilty of negligence or incompetence and offered up as a sacrificial lamb, or at least, mistakes made in and out of the Administration will be acknowledged. That's opposed to the Nixon Administration, which hid everything with the president's knowing.
Why hasn't the president declassified the predator video?


You know he is lying. Even fools know. But fools continue to support the one term Marxist. maybe fools believe Obama won't run out of other people's money.
 
How the hell is this worse then Watergate?

How is this worse then a President who orchestrated numerous illegal acts at the same time knowing they are illegal acts and then attempted to cover them up less worse then an incident where terrorists managed to kill an ambassador and his staff?
Is that what happened? Did President Nixon order the burglary of the Democratic headquarters? Awesome. I had never heard that.

But he did cover it up. He did lie. Hmmm.
 
No personal responsibility, it's always someone else who is at fault. The media, the polls, reality. But never the mistaken partisan colored classes some look through.
Funny Boo. That is precisely how Obama sees things. No personal responsibility, it's always someone else who is at fault.

He had to cover this up. His team could not figure out how to blame Bush.
 
What false outrage? You think I'm faking this?! I honestly believe that if the reports are accurate, this president should be tried and executed! You don't leave Americans to die just because. You don't tell Marines to "stand down" when they can help. And you sure as hell don't tell the American public and the world that it was a "spontaneous protest" when you watched the live video feed of an organized militia execute your ambassador. And you really don't have a guy arrested in the US that had absolutely nothing to do with it! This goes way above what any President has done. This is completely unprecedented and I can't believe that some would sit around and just let it be!

I want you to think about this. The heroes that died serving their country in Benghazi would have never had the true story told if this administration had gotten their way. They would have been killed by "protesters" that reacted to a YouTube video and we would have never known their true heroism. They disobeyed orders to save American lives and succeeded. They gave their lives despite the stupidity of our government. They most certainly would have faced significant punishment for their actions, but their selfless sense of duty and spot on intuition with regards to right and wrong saved many of the Americans based in Benghazi.

But, hey, we should not be outraged, there was nothing that could be done? Right?

Bite me.

Even if there was nothing that could have been done (and I doubt that's the case, the reports just don't reflect that), the cover up was not needed. That's what makes me believe there was a bad call. There was someone, in this administration, that did the wrong thing. Other wise, why cover it up? If there was nothing to be done then the ambassador was a victim of terrorism. He would have been the poster boy for a new cry for the war on terror. It could have propelled the President to new heights as he called for renewed efforts. Instead, it was covered up in hopes the truth wouldn't come out until after the election. An american's rights were violated for political gain and the true valor of two of America's finest was shoved under the rug like dirt.
The comments of the human debris that occupies the leftmost part of the political spectrum disgust me. We see them here. They believe they are oh-so-intelligent. But they are shells of human beings. There is a thin veneer with no core, no center, no soul.

You are one of the reasons why Obama's Benghazi Massacre will not go away.
 
Did I say that what happened in Benghazi was okay? Or are you just looking for a cheap point to score by fabricating a poorly conceived argument?

Tell me how Benghazi is worse then an incident where the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES openly conspired to violate several major US laws and then attempted to cover up the fact that he knowingly committed crimes. Tell me how an incident where the POTUS engaged in an illegal conspiracy is not as bad. What Nixon did perverted and corrupted the very nature of our democracy and government. That is a bigger threat to America then Benghazi.
Tell me more my obvious "friend". What major laws did the president conspire to break?

I have frequently suspected that you believed human life was far less valuable than defending the indefensible.

The president denied help three times. The Benghazi four were murdered. Then Obama and his minions lied for more than two weeks. For some of us on the right that is appalling. For those of you on the left it is October.

None of which address my point about her capacity to call down wholesale destruction upon her targets. If you know who Gloria Allred is, you should know what kind of damage she can do. To discount her is to folly. The fact you dislike her is irrelevant to her capacities to rain fiery PR death.
It is such a shame the president did not allow her to be used against the murderous Islamist thugs he apologizes for. I suppose she is a weapon only to be used against Republicans.
 
Maybe because there was nothing there to fire, or nothing that would not have killed our guys too or there was no laser to start with. You are not listening to creditable sources. There is an investigation going on.
In your opinion how long should the investigation go on before Obama finds out what role he played?

Leave it to you to defend Nixon. You are shameless.
 
It says your a Conservative....Is that a typo? Do you want to wait until Iran gets a Nuke puts it in a suitcase and dump it in NY orLA?:confused:
We can only hope they target the white house or the left side of the Congress.
 
Nixon paid men to break into the Democratic headquarters, the truth was more than enough. The coverup just delayed the inevitable.
Unless you can prove Obama paid the terrorists to attack the Embassy you SOOL.
There are indications of foolishness here...

Nice. Wishing for a terrorist attack on the Capitol. You're so much better than Ahmedinijad. :roll:
 
Okay, even if the administration (or part of it) decided to push the video angle... why is this a scandal? Still no evidence to suggest the deliberate decision to allow these people to die, as the OP suggests. Hey, how about the cool ways that the government has used this to push a pro-censorship policy? Oh wait, they didn't. How about all the political gain by taking the wrong side in this? Oh yeah, there really isn't any. Even assuming a deliberate deception (the deliberate part is very much in question), all it took was one little hearing to bring it all to light. That's not a cover up. That's a delay. You think maybe there could have been some danger to Americans still in Libya if they revealed the real details? It's just as legit a theory as any offered in the rest of this thread.

There is no scandal here. There's no cover up. There's a mistake, but for an administration that has a good record on foreign issues, especially responses to terror, this mistake doesn't tip the scales too much.
It is a cover up. And it is working. But Obama's Benghazi Massacre is not going away.

The president denied effective armed support to the defenders at the Consulate. Three times.
The Benghazi Four were murdered by the same kinds of people the regime apologizes to.
After the murders the president sent his minions out to lie.
Thank goodness for the state run media. They can ignore the Benghazi Massacre but they cannot make it go away.
 
Thanks for providing a link that proves that i have lied...that proves that Obama lied.
Oh wait you didn't.
No link is necessary. You already know the truth. You just cannot admit it to yourself.

What you want does not matter. Every day there are new facts emerging. True the president's regime does put out some misinformation. But the facts will win out. It won't be the story you prefer.

We have enough facts to know that already.
 
It is a very big yawn and just another example of hypocracy on the far right. What is new or exciting about that?
Do you really have so little intellectual curiosity?

Never mind. You probably don't.

And you are deflecting. It is what you do. Why do you deflect? Are you already out of arguments?

If the radical Islamists destroyed the radical liberals could it be called terrorism? Half of America, the ones with Obamaphones, would cry.

Edumatcation is great!

Watergate scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And it is not actually clear that the President denied anything. You are simply jumping at what you want to be true and dismissing everything you don't like as false.
 
Often an investigation on a F18 crash would go on for months. I am not sure but I would guess something like this could take at least that long. I cant think of everthing but just getting the autopsys and the 100's maybe 1000's of statements might take weeks. Then there is all the classified info and statements up the chain of command and email etc. If you have never seen an investigation like this it contains a lot of info, from the weather to the menu in the chow hall. I can see the investigations taking months.
In your opinion how long should the investigation go on before Obama finds out what role he played?
