McCain Claims ‘Massive Cover-Up’on Benghazi
Yahoo News ^ | February18, 2013 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 02/18/2013 5:06:23 AM PST by lbryce

While discussing the contentious confirmation hearings for defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, things got a bit heated on Sunday's "Meet The Press" when Sen. John McCain referred to the lack of information from the White House surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi as a "massive cover-up."

"There are so many answers we don't know," McCain told host David Gregory. "We've had two movies about getting bin Laden and we don't even know who the people were who were evacuated from the consulate the day after the [Benghazi] attack. So there are many, many questions. So we've had a massive cover-up on the part of the administration."

Gregory then pressed McCain on what the Arizona senator meant by "a massive cover-up."

"I'm asking you, do you care whether four Americans died?" McCain said. "And shouldn't people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died?"

"Well, what you said was the cover-up--a cover-up of what?" Gregory asked.

"Of the information concerning the deaths of four brave Americans," McCain replied. "The information has not been forthcoming. You obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn't. And I'll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including 'What did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi?'"

McCain continued: "Why did the president for two weeks, for two weeks during the heat of the campaign continue to say he didn't know whether it was a terrorist attack or not? Is it because it interfered with the line 'Al Qaeda has [been] decimated'? And 'everything's fine in that in that part of the world'? Maybe. We don't know. But we need the answers.

I'm not at all patronizing you for what you said because they were made on my behalf. I'm just telling it as it is. Your comments were extraordinarily witty, clever and I laughed out loud not merely for what you said but even more so for the way you said it. Bravo! Bravo! Bellissimo!

Thank you!

If there was a massive cover up like you claim Mr. McCain, then why have there been no articles of impeachment presented?

Exactly. Questions not asked, answers not forthcoming. Who are the co-conspirators in the "massive cover up", John? Are you talking to one of them in this interview? Where did the buck stop and the obfuscation begin, John?

TREASON - continuous, pre-meditated, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, propagandist-silenced, in-your-face, ongoing...

RIP Doherty, Smith, Stevens, Woods

Like I cannot ascertain sarcasm? Hardly.

Some people frequent this website because they prefer to avoid the MSM. Unfortunately, many posters remain captivated by the MSM and believe pig wresting them is somehow amusing or snarky. It is actually quite boorish and insufferable to all but the distracted and ignorant.

I would like to have seen what, if any steps Mr. McCain is taking to investigate events at the Consulate. Instead I read yet another (supposed) sarcastic repitition of Clinton's denial of accountability.

If I wanted the MSM's line I'd frequent MSM boards.




boor·ish/ˈbʊərɪʃ/ Show Spelled [boor-ish]
adjective of or like a boor; unmannered; crude; insensitive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Origin:
1555–65; boor + -ish1

Related forms
boor·ish·ly, adverb
boor·ish·ness, noun

Synonyms
coarse, uncouth, loutish, churlish. Boorish, oafish, rude, uncouth all describe persons, acts, manners, or mannerisms that violate in some way the generally accepted canons of polite, considerate behavior. Boorish originally referring to behavior characteristic of an unlettered rustic or peasant, now implies a coarse and blatant lack of sensitivity to the feelings or values of others: a boorish refusal to acknowledge greetings. Oafish suggests slow-witted, loutlike, clumsy behavior: oafish table manners. Rude has the widest scope of meaning of these words; it suggests either purposefully impudent discourtesy or, less frequently, a rough crudity of appearance or manner: a rude remark; a rude thatched hut. Uncouth stresses most strongly in modern use a lack of good manners, whether arising from ignorance or brashness: uncouth laughter; an uncouth way of staring at strangers.

At least you have numbers on your side.

It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.

“Perhaps you fancy yourself a Community Organizer?”

What difference does it make??

I just had to say it. Can’t pass up a chance to provacatate
and provacatize this thread into provacatory.
You must be an antivacatizer. (sarc)

I can’t help but remember the McCain/Graham fact finding trip to Libya before we committed, which results assured us that there were no insurgents in Libya.

Even when McCain is right I can’t stand him. I wish they’d either lock the gates or build a higher fence at Happy Acres.................
