Benghazi

[NightSwimmer]

I have never observed a more incompetent attempt to swiftboat a presidential candidate. The GOP has lost it's touch.

They're going to lose this election too. Without a successful, trumped-up conspiracy theory, they have nothing to offer except a rehash of the miserable failure that was the George W. Bush administration.

Do YOU want to be the one to tell the parents of the slain Americans from Benghazi that it's just a "trumped up conspiracy"?

 

[NightSwimmer]

No. I want no part of this charade. I'm just glad that this Rovian political tactic is no longer effective. I would prefer honest campaigns that address actual governing policy. That is the best method for preventing another hapless idiot from ascending to the office of the presidency of the United States.

Eight years of W was enough for me.

So far it is nothing but a trumped up conspiracy. I would think the parents would want to know the truth.

So leaving 4 Americans to die after numerous requests for assistance when help was all but 20 minutes away because it might hinder Obama's re-election campaign is not "policy"?

I'm betting you had NOTHING to say about ANY of this:

22 January 2002 – Calcutta, India – Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami gunmen attack Consulate – number of dead = 5

14 June 2002 – Karachi, Pakistan - al-Qaeda truck bomb detonates outside Consulate – number of dead = 12

28 February 2003 – Islamabad, Pakistan – Unknown gunmen attack Embassy – number of dead = 2

30 June 2004 – Tashkent, Uzbekistan – Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan suicide bomber attacks Embassy – number of dead = 2

12 December 2004 – Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – al-Qaeda gunman raid diplomatic compound – number of dead = 9

12 September 2006 - Demascuc, Syria - Gunmen raid US Embassy - number of dead = 4

18 March 2008 - Sana'a, Yemen - Mortar attack against US Embassy - number of dead = 2

9 July 2008 - Istanbul, Turkey -Armed attack against Consulate – number of dead = 6

17 September 2008 - Sana'a, Yemen (AGAIN) - Two car bombs outside US embassy in Yemeni capital - number of dead = 16

I would think everyone would want to know the truth. The problem is, the truth is not very flattering for the administration. So instead we get the whole thing blamed on a movie.

Media coverage of attack in Libya called into question http://video.foxnews.com/v/19327456...n-libya-called-into-question/?intcmp=obinsite

I am betting not one of those has anything to do with Benghazi and the Obama administration's attempts to manipulate the narrative.

Why do you think there was so little media coverage of all these attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates?:

22 January 2002 – Calcutta, India – Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami gunmen attack Consulate – number of dead = 5

14 June 2002 – Karachi, Pakistan - al-Qaeda truck bomb detonates outside Consulate – number of dead = 12

28 February 2003 – Islamabad, Pakistan – Unknown gunmen attack Embassy – number of dead = 2

30 June 2004 – Tashkent, Uzbekistan – Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan suicide bomber attacks Embassy – number of dead = 2

12 December 2004 – Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – al-Qaeda gunman raid diplomatic compound – number of dead = 9

12 September 2006 - Demascuc, Syria - Gunmen raid US Embassy - number of dead = 4

18 March 2008 - Sana'a, Yemen - Mortar attack against US Embassy - number of dead = 2

17 September 2008 - Sana'a, Yemen (AGAIN) - Two car bombs outside US embassy in Yemeni capital - number of dead = 16

LeRoy: Do you suppose it was because George W. Bush was President at the time??

 

[NCmusicman]

Obama has been asked by very few media reporters -- "Who made decision to not help the victims?".. Obama sidesteps / ignores the question and refuses to answer. It's all about his reelection, NOT being a Commander In Chief.

So far it is nothing but a trumped up conspiracy. I would think the parents would want to know the truth.

 

[NCmusicman]

Obama, Hillary or Panetta should be removed from office and that can happen in one week.

WE NEED A NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF IMMEDIATELY!!! FIRE OBAMA, HIRE ROMNEY, GO ROMNEY, GO USA!!!!

 

[LeRoy_Was_Here]

I am betting not one of those has anything to do with Benghazi

Really?!? So you're saying NONE of those other attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates were carried out by terrorists?????????

 

[Colorforms]

Actually, that isn't even close to anything that I said. How do you hold a conversation when you can't even understand what the other person is saying?

 

[NCmusicman]

No sidestepping allowed... ABC NBC and CBS are covering for Obama.... that was obvious this past Sunday on the morning news shows.

Actually, word is that Obama was the one who refused to send help to his people in Benghazi. Everyone else was advising it.

I'm betting that Chloroform won't be willing to call it terrorism for a full 14 days!

HUH?!? I quoted you directly. I am just trying to figure out why you are so blissfully unconcerned about all the U.S. diplomats and citizens who died in attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates during the George W. Bush years, where the numbers dwarf the four who died in the Benghazi attack. I suspect it is because you don't mind dead Americans, when it happens under a Republican President.

 

[Boca]

What the hell are you talking about? There were daily reports of the killed and wounded, and even civilian casualties, during the Bush Administration. When was the last time you heard of the number kiled and wounded in Afghanistan since January, 2009? For that matter do you know how many Mexican officials and civilians were killed with Fast and Furious weapons?

 

[Colorforms]

What are you talking about. I'm a libertarian, we have no problem placing blame where it belongs. It's you liberals who seem to like to play political games with people's lives.
