Hillary’s Breathtaking Mendacity
National Review ^ | 10/24/2015 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 10/24/2015 8:10:50 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

She lied to the nation in 2012, and she’s lying again now. You don’t look surprised.

‘We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”

Those words, depraved words, were spoken by then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton, with President Obama by her side, on September 14, 2012. This was at Joint Base Andrews, during the most sacred of rites: the return of the remains of Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, all slain in the line of duty in Benghazi.

And all slain, it must never be forgotten, by jihadists carrying out what Clinton, Obama, and high-ranking national-security officials throughout the United States government knew full well was a planned terrorist attack, not a “protest” run amok and incited by “an awful Internet video.”

That obvious fact is now explicit after Mrs. Clinton’s galling testimony on Thursday before the House select committee investigating the Benghazi massacre.

Not only had the siege occurred on the eleventh anniversary of al-Qaeda’s 9/11 atrocities. Not only was Obama informed in the first minutes that a terrorist attack was underway. Not only had terrorist attacks in Benghazi been threatened and executed for months. Not only were mortars deployed by trained jihadists. Not only had Gregory Hicks, the senior State Department official on the ground in Libya after Ambassador Stevens was killed, directly briefed then-secretary Clinton about the then-ongoing terrorist attack — the same Gregory Hicks who would later testify that the anti-Muslim Internet video was a “non-event” in Benghazi.

Lady Justice is yet again rejected in an investigation of the actions of a Clinton. She will have her day, I just wish it would occur during the earthly lifetime.

All meaningless. Hillary will be President and will bring to completion the disaster that is the current occupant of the White House.

About 98% of the media coverage I've seen says that Hillary "survived" the hearing, she was "strong", and this issue is now "over".

And now it's back to Dan Rather's courageous coverage of what a retired president may have done 30 years before becoming president. Because people care about that.

Question for Hillary:
You couldn’t keep your Ambassador in Libya safe. Why should we feel safe when you are President of the U.S.A.?

Ignorant Americans will vote this corrupt sick Hillary as President. America is finished and will be a full dictatorship within 5 years. Crime will be the way Americans will go.

I don’t understand the mentality of such people, like the Obamas and the Clintons. They actively work against the security and prosperity of an entire nation that their children and grandchildren have to live in.

We may not live to see them punished for their crimes, but their own offspring will be thrust into the male storm they created.

If they hate their own progeny so much, imagine how they feel about the rest of us.

A majority of politicians and press believe “the narrative is more important than the facts” ... iow, lies are more important than the truth.

You cannot expect anything but disaster to flow from that mindset.

With at least 50% of the electorate, it’s the latter.

There were so many things happening at Benghazi, but they each have to be laid out and examined.

When you look at each event, look for the motivation in that event. Why did they do this? Why did they not do that?

For example:

The enemy knew that Ambassador Stevens had been captured and was dying/dead.

Why did the enemy then attack the CIA facility? What was their motivation?

If the goal was to get Stevens, well, they had him.

So, why attack the CIA facility?

Obviously, the enemy’s goal wasn’t just to get Stevens.

Then, what was their goal....their objective at Benghazi?

They don't believe that they are creating a maelstrom. They believe that they are creating a nice, orderly, regimented society. With them at the top of course.

There will most certainly be deprivations, but Chelsea or Malaria won't suffer any of them so why be concerned? As for the "teeming masses who will suffer? The left will blame their misfortune on the pubbies and everyone will reflexively nod in unison like the lemmings they are.

Teach your children and grandchildren to shoot, to defend themselves and to survive. It isn’t going to be pretty.

"She lied to the nation in 2012, and she’s lying again now. You don’t look surprised."

I have had enough of this crap about lies. She has been examined for years, and by members of Congress in a lengthy hearing by the most competent lawyers. So where are the lies? It is time for the GOP to come up with issues to beat the Democrats, lies are not cutting it.

I have no breath to spare for mendacity, having been screwed this week by the Freedom Caucus concerning Ryno, after being screwed by McConnell and Boehner since 11/14...Hillary isn’t looking so bad these days. And if you look closely, you’ll find GOPe up to their necks in causing the Libya mess.

Could be, but why go after the Ambassador then?

I’m beginning to think you are correct. There’s just enough idiots who will vote for her just because she’s woman and because she’s been on TV.

Sad but true. Look at who the electorate put in the White House-TWICE! Check their reasoning-he’s a black. The same reasoning will put the “First Woman in the White House and she will promptly complete the ruination of our country.

Has it been thought that Stevens was to be captured for the TRADE of their guy? (whatever that name is).

Perhaps those terrorist just got greedy with their killing lust and said why not, then on to the next stop.

FR has some great minds that need to weigh in on this now.
