Huckabee: Benghazi will drive Obama from office

It's not silly at all, the facts are that President Bush didn't want an investigation. And if it weren't for the "Jersey Girls" there might never have been one. BTW, didn't President Bush and his Dick get interviewed in secret. We also learned about the famous August 6th PDB. Bin Laden determined to strike in US

The investigate we have today is a partisan one.

It is simply not the case that GWB opposed an investigation, and the 6 August PDB was already (justifiably) famous before the investigation.:cool:
 
Or Smith's mother, I presume ... is that your round about way of saying you were presumptuous to declare she was not objective?
No, not at all. A person who has lost a child is typically emotional and subjective. What knowledge did she have to blame Hillary?

You think she doesn't know any more than you do? That she hasn't been paying closer attention? The mother has already had her loss.
Conversely, do you think Hillary is being totally objective? That's she's been totally forthcoming? Hillary is trying to avoid a loss.

Good evening, bubba.:2wave:
Despite this thread's title, I suspect that Hillary is in more danger from Benghazi than is BHO.:eek:
 
HILLARY CLINTON, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

TAPPER: What was your reaction to that?

SMITH: Well, that's what I want to know. Why did it happen? And she is in charge. Why couldn't she do something about it? I blame her.

TAPPER: You blame Secretary of State Clinton.

SMITH: Yes.


The Smith being interviewed by Jake Tapper is the mother of Sean Smith.

Here is what followed:

TAPPER: Why?

SMITH: Because that's her department. She is supposed to be on top of it. Yet she claims she knows nothing. It wasn't told to her. Well, who is running the place?


Mother Of Slain Benghazi Victim Rips Hillary Clinton: "I Blame Her" | RealClearPolitics

I think that may be true, Jack. At least it's looking that way now.

Obama has some of his aura to lose if it turns out he had an opportunity to take action but he decided to sleep through it so he could be fresh on the campaign trail. And I can't imagine he had no input into the video nonsense. He's already been re-elected but if it goes south for him he may have even more of a problem after the elections next year and he's really been working for less opposition, as we've all seen.
 
Right. That's true isn't it? Didn't that sound like disbelief?
Speaking of disbelief ... remember this picture of Hillary in her fit of pique ... notice anything?

When you're pissed and righteously indignant, do you ever take your eyes off who you're yelling at or do you check your notes for direction?
 
Right. That's true isn't it? Didn't that sound like disbelief?

I watched the whole video, she was hardly objective. YOU couldn't bare posting the last two lines or provide a link. :shock:
 
I assume you're referring to the hacked emails.

Assuming they are real: Those were sent a journalist (who used to work for Bill C) -- as in someone outside the administration -- to Hillary. That hardly qualifies as an Administration consensus on the nature of the attacks by September 12th.

I realize this is hard to grasp, but it takes more than 30 seconds to figure out why an isolated diplomatic mission, in a volatile nation, got attacked.

Nor are the consequences of the kerfuffle particularly dire. As a result of the attack, the US hasn't declared war on Libya. The nation's security was not compromised. It is not realistic to turn every consulate and diplomatic mission into a miniature fortress. The deaths of the diplomatic staff could not be reversed based on the Administration's subsequent public statements.

So, forgive me if I toss a little salt over my shoulder when I see all the haters in a high moral dudgeon over this.


No it wasn't a hacked a Email.....it was a Copy of a Diplomatic Cable to the Libyan President. Now what will your Assuming Be?

I realize this part is hard to accept. It's been 8 months. Now even Obama's Own Team has set him out. All that he and his team stated at the beginning. Has been proven to be a.....LIE!

As part of the Consequences of Susan Rice denying what the Libyan President had stated. Which she ignored thus making her look like the Incompetent Fool she is. This has affect our Relations with Libya. As well as gave the Appearance of Rice Calling the Libyan President a liar.

Uhm your Right.....the US didn't declare War on Libya. We were put there with an EO. Which that falls on Obama and his team. Since they never had an End game for Libya in the First Place. But I am glad that you Finally realized this and can no longer Deny such.

When you get to the part about this Consulate being attacked multiple times.....and you actually have a clue as to what took place with Benghazi. Then come back and see me.
 
Obama can't run for a third term and I highly doubt he'll be impeached over it.

That's about all you really need to know. I'm not sure that there's anything to impeach over unless somebody can prove that Obama intended to have them die. Otherwise the worst it is is a terrible mistake.
 
Huckabee: Benghazi will drive Obama from office......when Huckabee wins the 2016 Presidential election.
 
Unfortunately that didn't happen.....as they started out with an Email from Hillary to the President of Libya on the 12th of Sept telling him they Knew Ansar al Shariah was involved in the attack. A week before Rice went on the Sunday talk Shows. Immediately Cumming called for copies of all documentss. Since they didn't have them either.

Check your timeline. It's nonsense.

Care to try again? :roll:

Oct. 24: White House, State Department Emails on Ansar al-Sharia

Oct. 24: Reuters reports the White House, Pentagon and other government agencies learned just two hours into the Benghazi attack that Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamic militant group, had “claimed credit” for it. The wire service report was based on three emails from the State Department’s Operations Center. One of the emails said, “Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripol.” The article also noted, “Intelligence experts caution that initial reports from the scene of any attack or disaster are often inaccurate.” (It should be noted that Reuters first reported on Sept. 12 that unnamed U.S. officials believed that Ansar al-Sharia may have been involved.)

Sorry, I misunderstood your post...I thought you said Rice went on the Sunday talk shows a week before an email from Hillary.


Btw, what difference does it make what the terrorists are called before, during, after the fact? It still wouldn't have saved Amb. Stevens.

The point was Hillary testified that she didn't talk to anyone at that time, not even Susan Rice.....which again today they released a copy of a Diplomatic Cable to the Pres. of Libya. Which validated she spoke to the Libyan President to tell him that Al Shariah was involved. Then today Hicks confirmed she talked to him.

... and the highly vaunted Accountability Review Board declined to speak to Hillary.

Let's face it, for sure Hillary is just as much of a liar as Bill but she's nowhere near as skilled at it.
She's got too many tells.
 
I watched the whole video, she was hardly objective. YOU couldn't bare posting the last two lines or provide a link. :shock:


What would an objective view have looked like? Something like "What difference does it make?" ? That's the kind of objectivity you're looking for?
 
I think there is on aspect to this I can agree with. President Obama is super concerned over not "offending" Muslims. I do not think that same level of walking on egg shells applies to any other group. It might be due to feeling he needs to stay in perpetual damage control due to the military conflicts we're in. It might be due to understanding that unlike most other groups, there is a general feeling that America is at war with Islam that he's working to prove wrong. It might be due to having an upbringing where he was exposed to Islamic culture and sees them as misunderstood nice guys. It might be due to realizing if you offend Muslims often violent reactions occur. I do think he really did initially believed the youtube video triggered the Benghazi attack possibly intentionally exploited by extremists in Libya to instigate a mob attack only to learn afterwards he was wrong. I also think he handled the updated information dissemination sloppily possibly due to new details unfolding by the minute and people wanting answers now coupled with being in the closing weeks of his reelection campaign.

Free FYI. In case anyone finds this factoid interesting, the youtube video was not produced by an American back-woods type like Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Fl. It was produced by an Egyptian who only relocated to the states.

Do you ever have anything to add other than non sequitur memes?

What should be done? A mistake was made. Should Presidents be prosecuted for every decision you disagree with?
