The testimony of the Benghazi survivors -- the self-described "whistle-blowers," who have dared to step forward and tell their stories, despite the threats from those who stand to lose the most -- has pretty much decimated the story that President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (with the assistance of the essentially useless Press Secretary Jay Carney and the embarrassingly naive U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice) pushed to cover their own asses.
A little side-note on those Benghazi survivors:
Were it not for the heroic efforts of those ex-Navy SEALs -- Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty -- who disobeyed the orders to "stand down"... TWICE... and lead a rescue team from their location (a mile away)to the Benghazi compound after they heard shots being fired -- those "whistle-blowers" might not be have been alive to testify on Wednesday.
Makes the possible explanation as to why they were told to "stand down" -- and why subsequent rescue personnel were told "not to go" -- come into ugly perspective -- doesn't it?
Even more entertaining (or "pathetic"... I can't quite decide yet) is the amount of frantic effort the liberal MSM and their blogger minions are expelling to deny and beat back the obvious -- that Hillary is toast in 2016.
Sure... there might be enough of what Rush Limbaugh describes as "low information voters" to elect her as the Democratic nominee for 2016. But, as South Carolina Republican Rep.Sen. Lindsey Graham posed(rhetorically) to National Review on Thursday:
"How in the world could she have believed that the death of Chris Stevens was a spontaneous riot motivated by a hateful video?”
"Either she is completely disconnected from reality or that was political spin."
"Ultimately, the voters will decide,” Graham conceded, “but if you’re running to be commander in chief, people are going to judge you by the job you’ve done.”
And, as I noted in my article -- Hillary's scandal record is LONG.
In his equally frantic screed -- "GOP’s trumped-up Benghazi scandal hasn’t tarnished Hillary Clinton" -- Pat Cunningham parroted Lewison's silly lament, "that Clinton’s name was mentioned almost five times as often as President Obama’s in Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on Benghazi."
"The objective of the GOP scandal-mongers was clear: Bring Hillary down a peg or two or five."
Whatever.
"Evidently," he "can’t imagine why Clinton – the “fmr. secretary of state,” whose duty it was to protect the lives of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith and ex-Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty who were killed under her watch – would be “mentioned” so many times during a hearing aimed at finding out who was responsible for the decisions that ultimately led to their deaths" either.
He's "betting that the next batch of polls measuring Clinton’s popularity will show that she remains far more well-liked among the American people than any Republican politician in the land."
Yeah... and I'm betting that "should Clinton decide to make a run at the presidency in 2016, she better start figuring out how she’s going to make a “corkscrew landing” through her past and start practicing how to duck the sniper fire that is sure to ensue as she runs across the campaign tarmac."
Your thoughts?
‘What does it matter.... ?.... AHHHHHHH”
If I were a high-stakes Democrat player in the second tier for the 2016 election...I’d start to put my team together and anticipate that she’s toast at this point. Imagine walking into Iowa and folks there asking stupid questions about the ambassador or Libya. Up until the event....she was guaranteed the 2016 election and would have been tough to beat. I’d say now....she’d best prepare to sit down and just write books and pretend it’s over.
"Evidently," he "can’t imagine why Clinton – the “fmr. secretary of state,” whose duty it was to protect the lives of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith and ex-Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty who were killed under her watch – would be “mentioned” so many times during a hearing aimed at finding out who was responsible for the decisions that ultimately led to their deaths" either.Yeah Hilliary over Jarrett...er that is Obama...5 to 1, he's gotta be lovin' this!
Great article and commentary, thank you for posting it on FR, and welcome to FR!
On Friday, Bloomberg’s Francis Wilkinson predicted that “Benghazi will be Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Whitewater.”Whitewater? IOW, once again the joke's on us.
In case Francis Wilkinson didn't know NOTHING happened with Whitewater. Records were lost, then found in plain sight, some big slobbering fool friend got in some trouble and another "friend" killed himself then drove to a park to die in the bushes.
The commie toads in the state-controlled “media” sure are scared and upset right now. They’re scared to death that Slick Willie’s wife won’t be the next “president”. Gonna be a lot of bedwetting going on this weekend in Liberalville.
A medical review of her mental status will find her unfit to lead after the bleed!
Are not many people getting tired of these distractions? Most people just want to get to the truth without changing the subject.
Daily Kos just learn how to report like the UK Guardian. The accusations and motives can come later. It is really annoying to see just hysterical, off subject reporting. The left wing conspiracy is huge and all directed to changing the subject, any subject except Benghazi where four Americans were killed.
The Daily Kos reports like no one was killed, just a few white guys, and it is time to support the Democrats version of what happened.
Is that a prediction of a GOP presidential win? Because I predict she will be the Demonrat candidate.
IMO,
Obama and Hilliary did not want any witnesses to survive and here they are.
I hope the witnesses have plenty of protection for themselves and their families.
Here’s the thing: Hillary asked the question, “What difference does it make?”, and now she is beginning to get the answer.
It’s kinda like: How many times do you laugh at a joke? Three. Once when you hear it, once when you tell it, and once when you get it.
Well, Hillary is about to get it.
Re: Bloomberg’s Francis Wilkinson predicted that “Benghazi will be Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Whitewater.”
4 Americans were killed in whitewater? Who knew?
You do exceptionally fine work. Thank you. Finally, P.C. that does make sense.
The question is: Does she have more than nine lives?
I think we need to temper our attacks in Clinton and keep in mind that the “stand down” orders came from Obama.
I can see this whole thing already turning into throwing Clinton under the bus while Obama walks away scot-free.
In fact, I think Clinton decided not to run for POTUS after Benghazi when she had her “accident”. I think she is being used as a decoy to protect the Obama.
Hitlary is #1 on their 2016 presidential hit parade
She must be brought down by Benghazi
Makes the possible explanation as to why they were told to "stand down" -- and why subsequent rescue personnel were told "not to go" -- come into ugly perspective -- doesn't it?
I hadn't put that together. TY.
