Benghazi hearing turns ugly: Republicans accuse Obama of lying, Dems fire back
By NBC's CarrollAnn Mears
A House Foreign Affairs hearing on "Benghazi and Beyond" quickly turned into a shouting and accusations forum.
**SNIP**
Naturally, Democrats responded. It began rather timidly and escalated.
"Barack Obama was no more responsible for what happened in Benghazi than George Bush was for Sept. 11th or Ronald Reagan was for the blowing up of U.S. Marines in Beirut," Rep. Eliot Engle (D-NY) said.
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) unloaded, first sarcastically: "Let's just hang the guilty parties."
"The stench of hypocrisy that hangs over this city today emanates from this room," Ackerman said. "I've listened to my colleagues talk about the President of the United States and others in the administration using [the] terms 'deliberate', 'lies', 'unmitigated gall', 'malfeasance,' which is malicious and knowing evil-doing, 'disgust', 'coverups'."

It is worse than the 2 SEALS sacrificed. If they had obeyed the order to stand down, there would be 30 dead in the 'consulate' rather than the 4 who died. But make no mistake. Obama, for political purposes, told the SEALS to stay away and offer no help. Leave the people in the consulate to die. That is what Obama and Panetta were willing to accept. That was the cost of doing buisness by dear leader.

....feeling of despair and hopelessness can be overwhelming sometimes...

Yes, you are right that we saw those early gains of the leftists as just a phase. But, piece by piece, they have successfully deconstructed so much of our cultural and moral underpinning. And it happened right in front of our eyes.
On election night, I just cried myself to sleep, and I am, by no means, a woman who cries easily. I don’t describe my feelings as hopelessness; it is more like profound sorrow, a sorrow that feels just like the death of a family member.
I like she also asked the question of John Bolton....but both he and Dana know that is a linemine to give an answer that we all seem to know already,.
NEEDS TO BE REPEATED IMO
The Communist will now go for bore. Damage control in full swing.
I made a similar comment recently. I am 100% the email, if indeed sent by Broadwell, was about the sinister Islamist crapola going on.
Thanks! I know about the other thirty Americans Obama cut loose to die. Who would have died if not for the two patriotic, skilful Navy Seals who kept the heavily armed Jihadist mobs at bay and killed many of them (Thank God)
Same Seals who lost their lives doing so. The death toll would have been 34 instead of 4
I think Petraeus told the truth in response to the key question - that Obama prevented the US military from doing the rescue that they were ready, willing, and able to do.
Peter King tipped his hand to that answer.
That is why Ham, Petraeus and the Admiral in the Med were all reassigned - they wanted to or attempted to save our people in Benghazi.
The question is, ‘will the republicans grow a pair and act on the information.’
“Barack Obama was no more responsible for what happened in Benghazi than George Bush was for Sept. 11th”
Responsible, correct.
But Bush proceeded to knock over two whole countries in retaliation.
The Obama perp-walked a movie director for a parole violation.
