While political pundits and media analysts who live in an alternative universe (also known as the left-wing) scream conspiracy theory from the rooftops, we are witnessing an historic event playing out in the form of the Benghazi hearings. Reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's infamous accusations of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" when the House impeached her husband, everyone from Al Sharpton to Debbie Wasserman Schultz is demonizing the House Oversight Committee for staging a "witch hunt" in order to understand what happened the night that four American citizens were murdered by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists in Libya. But despite Obama and Clinton's combined political savvy (coupled with a complicit and disinterested mainstream media), a Shakespearean tragedy that will make Watergate look like child's play may very well be unfolding.

But it is never too late for the truth. And one of the insights we learned on Wednesday from Gregory Hicks, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, was that despite vociferous and repeated claims to the contrary, the only "non-event" in Libya was the staging of riots over a YouTube video.

It is bad enough that Obama trotted out his good little foot soldiers Carney and Rice to look the American people in the eye and lie. It is disgusting that the Secretary of State looked the victims' family members in the eye knowing full well she was not telling the truth while ensuring that an innocent individual would be sent to prison as the administration's scapegoat. But the President of the United States who was entrusted with protecting the American people blatantly lied to the them as well.
How do these people sleep at night?

“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?'Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap,to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth?If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace.We ask not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” |

Nothing could matter less to The Purple Lipped One or his voters. If someone could produce video of Ol’ Purple Lips showing him watching the ambassador die and commenting that he really enjoyed the part where they sodomized the ambassador with a shovel handle, still NOTHING would come from this! This happened on the other side of the world and involved a handful of white guys that in their opinion needed to die anyway. WE are the only ones that care and WE are now the voting minority. I can’t see some welfare queen with 9 kids and 6 different baby-daddies changing her mind and refusing to take the pack of Newport menthols and get on the bus to the polling place because some honky she ain’t never heard of was killed by some brothers that are down wit’ da struggle! WE are screwed. WE now work for them.

Obama has failed miserably as has Clinton. If their supporters think think they wouldn’t do this to them; think again. Neither should be POTUS.
BUMP to your post: “Obama has failed miserably as has Clinton”. Slight disagreement: He’s actually outdone Clinton in the area of misery.
One thing to keep in mind here is the CIA is getting hosed.
They don’t take that lightly.
Panetta is/was a Clintonista.
People often pay a price when they mess with the CIA.
If this was a ‘Pubbie administration, there would be a large numbers of resignations and indictments. Maybe a suicide or two.
But this is a Democrat regime. Nobody will take the heat. There will be no resignations or indictments. Investigations will peter out with no results.
And when Hillary! runs for President in 2016, there won’t be any ‘Pubbies with the guts to paint her with the blood of the contractors who fought to save the Ambassador and the other personnel.
Gun running to those Syrian rebels might explain why Pres. Obama would not help that consulate in Benghazi. Obama wanted Ambassador Stevens lips sealed when the attack on the consulate started.
Geraldo Rivera is discussing it now on Fox News.
The answer to that question is in the answer to this question.
What was the media's involvement in the Watergate cover-up?
Probably while hanging upside down from the rafters.
That rings true.
Only republicans have watergates because you need a cooperating press to have a proper scandal.
It is only through the courageous efforts of those on the ground in Libya and the Grace of God, we did not lose the entire Benghazi group of over 30 people.
No more help was being sent by the criminally incompetent fools in Washington. They had stood our military down and had written the Benghazi people off. Instead of rescue and relief efforts, they washed their hands of the situation and made excuses. It is conceivable the muddled situation could have gone on a lot longer. If it had, the State Department and CIA people in Benghazi were toast. There was no "Plan B" to save them.
The entire Middle East was in flames at this time. Why wasn't our military all over the region on full Red Alert and ready to launch? Instead, it appears it was business as usual and everyone at the overseas bases had headed off early to Happy Hour.
Amen ... We were Ready ... it is as it was ... when the order came of Stand Down.
Bad faith and Benghazi

“But we do know they deceived the public. Which brings us back to the lies over the video. In the wake of Benghazi, the country endured an intense debate over how much free speech we could afford because of the savage intolerance of rioters half a world away. Obama and Clinton fueled this debate by incessantly blaming the video — as if the First Amendment was the problem.
Clinton and Obama both swore oaths to support and defend the Constitution. But after failing to support and defend Americans left to die, they blamed the Constitution for their failure. That’s what difference it makes.”
Read at:
Obama will ignore the issue and go out on some type of victory tour or other.
The media hated Nixon and adore Baraq.
A few Muzzies with underwear on their heads at Abu Ghraib got far more media coverage than the murders of Americans at Benghazi.
I’ll be happy if it hobbles him and finishes her career.
