Benghazi???

[lupehernandezdepedajack]

Generally I have stayed away from this topic but I do believe an inquiry for facts is not out of line but not as some kind of impeachment tool.

But it does bring to mind a Clinton campaign ad.... Who would you want on the line at 3 AM in a crisis?

and like Hillary recently said "what difference does it make" the POTUS and the SoS are equally incompetent.

 

[NightSwimmer]

Better to stay away from the topic that to make yourself appear a fool, eh? Too bad you couldn't maintain your resolve.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

We've already had countless "inquiries for facts."

Not that the Pugs running the House give a damn about facts.

I'm extremely glad we had highly competent people like Obama and Clinton in place. Could you imagine if it was the "can't shoot straight" gang we had between 2001 and 2008? Those morons invaded Iraq in response to 9/11. God knows what they might have done in response to the Benghazi attack. It really does matter who is on the line at 3 AM in a crisis, and that's why America's been doing so much better since the start of 2009!

As Al Gore noted, invading Iraq in response to 9/11 was about as dumb as if FDR had invaded Brazil in response to Pearl Harbor.

John Belushi (in 'Animal House'): Did America give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!!!

And lo and behold we have an answer to who we want to call at 3am between her and Obama...

the ironic answer is neither. Neither will lift a finger to help.

Dude at least one or both of them had the courage to not lift a finger and sacrifice the ambassador and those with him for the safety of the country

But when put in context of real life that ad is effin funny now.

Your response is comical to say the least. How could have Benghazi gone worse? Clinton sent Stevens during the anniversary of 9/11 with a significantly reduced security force, to a place that intel said was very hostile, left them there with no possible back-up, and then lied about the whole thing when it didn't turn out.

I don't know how the Obama administration could have been more incompetent. Maybe painting "Muslims suck" on the side of the compound in advance of Stevens arrival, but that's about it.

Barry was in bed. Long day of golf and all.

The Pentagon, the leaders of our military, have already testified that a military rescue attempt was simply impossible. And so now you are basically calling all of them a bunch of liars. And you no doubt consider yourself to be a patriot.

 

[Colorforms]

The fighting went on for 9 hours. The only thing preventing a rescue were the stand down orders.

 

[Jen]

Yep. It seems that the two people most expected to actually answer the phone at 3am for this administration were, in fact, out of pocket and did not answer that phone...................and 4 people died.

Yet.........as you can see here on this board........... Democrats are willing to give them a pass. I wonder if it was the life of one of the people here, if that person would give them a pass?

And mark my word............ Hillary has a good chance of being elected if she runs even though it's been proven that she may not be available to answer the phone (or make the right decision if she does). This country is in deep deep doo doo if it is willing to elect that sort of negligent (or inept) person.

So you, too, are calling our military leaders a bunch of liars.

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Arkady]

Wow, that's a soft-ball question if I ever saw one. It could have gone worse if it were used as a pretext for some sort of unrelated conquest of a Muslim nation, costing us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. Got any other ridiculously easy questions you want me to knock out of the park for you?

 

[bdtex]

Certainly not McCain or Romney.

 

[Colorforms]

Wow, so you're saying that if Barry had set them up to be killed, it really couldn't have gone worse.

*Thumbs up* great answer.

 

[Colorforms]

No more than you're calling the people who were there on the ground liars.

Why am I not surprised?

Now we have an answer to that question that isn't hypothetical, and the Obama administration screwed it up royally and four Americans are dead and the administration lied repeatedly in an attempt to cover up their incompetence and their attempt to bury the story for political expedience before the election. So I would say we don't have to ask what might happen, because now we know what DID happen.

Given the bullshit from the right, yes we should have a non-partisan inquiry. What Boehner and the repubs are doing doesn't qualify.
