Is Benghazi Obama's Watergate?
The American Thinker ^ | 5/10/13 | Lauri B Regan

Posted on 05/10/2013 4:47:37 AM PDT by Lakeshark

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.
**snip**
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.
**snip**

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?

Nope. It will vanish down the memory hole.

I have said all along that talk of impeachment of The Dear Leader is premature at this point. I am summoning my last residue of hope to trust the process.

I admire your psychological fortitude.

I'm using my last residue of hope at the DMV.

Latest poll shows his approval rating at 35%. He’s already hobbled.

No offense, but there isn't any hope.

The powers that be will not let this stain Obambi or Hillary.

Expect the generals to be dragged out soon to fall on their swords.

Obama will ignore the issue and go out on some type of victory tour or other.

Like going to Texas to tell them how to create jobs.......

:-)

None to you either, but The Dear Leader must surely appreciate the demoralization from us on the right. It works well with the leftist demonization tactic.

I am sure that he does. But here is the thing.

Who do we have that will run in 2016? Rommney again? Rand Paul looks interesting, but he has the baggage from his Dad.

Even Rush has been down beat the last few months.

The money players WANT the liberals to win. In the little enclaves it sounds great!

Stop hoping, start working. Work to change things, or work to leave. We need to get past the normalcy bias before we can actually do anything.

Yep, anything to change the subject. Next week amnesty. Obama is an agitator not a leader.

right-O.

Most of this crap we’re saddled with originated during Worthless Wilson’s term.

18 minutes of silence on the Nixon Tapes and it was the end of the world.

Obama disappears for nine hours during the Benghazi Attack and (crickets).

I still laugh at the picture of Obama during the Bin Laden Raid, sitting there with a Suit Jacket over his Golf Shirt.

Pravda lives...

RE: Watergate

It took almost a year from the break in until the Senate began hearings. We are actually well ahead of that time line.

The hearing did not begin until John Dean had come forward and spilled Nixon’s beans. NOBODY saw John Dean coming.

The best news of the day is that ABC and others have actually reported the story. They may have been dragged kicking and screaming into committing random journalism......

That's true, I remember -- I was a grad student back then. Dean is what allowed them to put it all in Haldeman and Ehrlichman's lap. But there were angles there, too, stuff about Mo Dean having been a prostitute (?), Dean being morbidly afraid of prison and rape, several things that make one wonder if we could get as lucky as Sam Ervin was back then, to have witnesses like Dean and loose cannon like Martha Mitchell around to rupture Administration containment efforts.

And we don't have a ruthless newspaper publisher on our side, either.
