It's Been 10 Months now and no investigations

[Colorforms]

On Wednesday, CNN aired a portion of an interview one of the network’s reporters was able to conduct with a man accused of participating in the September 11, 2012, attack on an American diplomatic consulate in Benghazi. The individual accused of participating in that attack was not in hiding and said that American investigators were not looking for him. He does, however, deny his direct involvement in that attack.

Didn't the great Bin Laden slayer promise to bring those involved in Benghazi to justice? It's been 10 months and those involved aren't even in hiding, and yet there is no action from the administration. I would think that this in itself would be a scandal.

Gee, nobody's investigating it?


You better fire Darrell Issa for being a slacker.

Maybe you should send him an email letting him know that he's the one who's supposed to be bringing the attackers to justice, especially since no one else seems interested anymore now that the campaign is over.

Accused by whom? Maybe he isn't being tracked because he, as he claims, had no involvement.

In the context of all this BenghaziGate silliness, some have made reference to the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon, that resulted in some 280 Marines being killed. But..the usually make the reference in term of 4 dead vs. 280 dead.

Although that IS a worthwhile consideration, I think it's MORE useful to compare the way Democrats responded to Lebanon, as compared with the way the Fox/GOP is trying to advantage itself of Benghazi. The contrast isn't very flattering to the Fox/GOP, to say the least.

Can you imagine if Dems acted this way on the real 9/11 were 3000 were killed on our own soil. And then the president says he's not concerned / doesn't think about the guy behind it.

I'm simply fascinated at how all of this seems to be going straight over the heads of the Fox/GOPsters. On a related note, we know that Li'l George made a BIG deal out of his making a deal with Gadaffy during the time his Iraq Debacle was on boil. We were told just how wonderous it was, that Li'l George COULD bend "reasonable" men to his will, without resorting to all out war.

Did ANYone even hint at this later on, when Libya/Gadaffy went to shit? I suppose an adult might say, what would be the point? That was then, this was now. It's not Li'l George's "fault" that Gadaffy didn't turn out as Li'l George planned. But......what if the situation had been reversed. What if it was a Democrat who made the "deal" with Gadaffy and what if a GOP was president when Libya went off the rails? Does anyone seriously believe that the Fox/GOP wouldn't have flogged that one up one side and down the other?

When his lips move you know it's either to divide us along racial or "class" lines, or to absolve himself of any responsibility for anything, or just to plain lie to see if he can can get away with it....which of course the MSM allows to protect their investment in him.

This failure to even interview a suspect is right in line with FBI, or any other official investigators, to get into Benghazi for close to 60 days after the attack even though Wolf Bliitzer and a host of reporters were there within 48 hours and found Ambassador Stevens' journal. In other words, sit back and pray any evidence disappears.

Then there's the matter of "stand down" orders, which a former US Ambassador said in an interview could only come from the Commander-in-Chief in this particular case. Meaning that in a war zone, as opposed to a diplomatic outpost like Benghazi, a commanding officer might order troops to "stand down" for tactical reasons. Benghazi was no war zone and there were no enemies surrounding it.

The only true enemy of our heroic folks in Benghazi was preparing for a Las Vegas fund raiser and couldn't be bothered staying up all night.

The larger issue in comparing the deaths of the 241 marines vs the Ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi is that the repubnuts want to argue that the president should have been aware of the request for two more security people in Benghazi....but then don't think about whether or not Reagan should have been aware of the Rules of Engagement that kept the marine guards walking their posts with unloaded weapons. By the time they inserted a magazine, chambered a round and fired the truck was already past them and nearly in the lobby of the barracks.....too late to stop it.

Did anyone call for impeachment? Nope. When Reagan ordered the invasion of Grenada, just two days later....did anyone claim it was a "wag the dog" distraction?
Yeah, I know the movie came out years later....but you get the idea.

Stand down? Bullshit. Nobody was told to stand down.

At one time I was doing work with a Veterans group here in Colorado. Joe Biden asked to speak to a group of about 30 of us. I don't remember the date, but I do remember I missed a Broncos game, so it must have been a Sunday. Biden told us some details of the agreement with Gaddafi to remove his nuclear weapons research equipment and how it came about. Biden knew the details because he was the guy who flew to Libya to discuss the details with the Libyans. After Gaddafi had agreed that US technicians would arrive within a couple days and would immediately dismantle all equipment and laboratories that were part of the research project, Biden asked if he was agreeing to this because of our invasion of Iraq. Gadaffi said no. "I know how many troops you have and they will be busy for a long time. You will not send another army to Libya".
"So, then why do you agree to end your nuclear program?". "The price of oil is too high to ignore. I cannot pump oil without help and the French will demand 90% of the money, the Americans will only take 50%."
