I think Benghazi deniers need to be arrested.
This is how the phrase was taught to me:
The pot is sooty (being placed on a fire), while the kettle is clean and shiny (being placed on coals only), and hence when the pot accuses the kettle of being black, it is the pot’s own sooty reflection that it sees: the pot accuses the kettle of a fault that only the pot has, rather than one that they share. The point is illustrated by a poem:
“Oho!” said the pot to the kettle;
“You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you’re given a crack.”
“Not so! not so!” kettle said to the pot;
“’Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me.”
A sickening sight. And a sign that something is very wrong in our military or man levels. Not just these guys and girl, but way up the chain. The incompetence is endemic. These are just the ones we can see.
In Desert Storm that was an American lake and no Iranian would have dared approach like this.
There are plenty of military people who got the stand down order. But good officers that they are, they aren’t talking. Forces around the Med, including Italy, stood up and were told to stand down.
I think it was they hoped the Benghazi CIA/State op to smuggle weapons to Al Qeida through Turkey would get exposed. They hoped it would fade quickly and business as usual would go on.
That was a central place where America changed sides in the war against islam.
What is up with the Kool-Aid these Dems are taking, I mean if Hillary told them to jump off the Empire State so she could win sympathy votes these sycophants would do it....
The “predictions” of Democrat pickups in the House and the Senate going back to the Democrats are going to be proved very wrong. They are trapped rats and don’t know what to say when the media can’t or now maybe won’t defend them from the truth. Calling our war fighters liars is something they will be beat on the head with from now until November.
Vas you dere, Charlie?
The challenging question “Vas you dere, Charlie?” swept the United States in late 1932 due to the brief popularity of radio comedian Jack Pearl. As the character Baron Munchausen, Pearl would tell increasingly fanciful stories of his travels and exploits to his sidekick “Charlie”, who at some point would express disbelief. At this point, the Baron would spring his catch phrase.
And to these doubting Democrats, “Vas you dere, Charlie?”
Of course they weren’t.
Lying. Not just for rugs any more.
Lying about lying just compounds the misunderstanding.
“cause that strategy worked so well for John Kerry in ‘04”
I had a horrible thought yesterday after hearing the accolades going to Kerry re: his working with his counterpart in Iran to get our guys released “in such a timely manner.”
Do you think when Hill goes down they will put in Biden and Kerry? Say it won’t be so.
Here’s a question:
Can Sen. Cruz (and Trump) get these schmear-holes to say that the SPECFOR actors in Benghazi are liars.
Get it in the congressional record...McCain!
These Democrats are enemies of the state. .
Two of the DUMBEST people in Congress...Adam Schiff and ELIJAH Cummings!!! OMG!!! STUPID knows NO COLOR!!
And our guys APOLOGIZED afterwards! What the heck?!
Thank you my friend...those are kind words.
They are too kind.
See the letter I wrote to Paul Ryan today after I got an email from him asking for money for the RNCC.

God’s speed to you and yours!
Last week on TV, NBC’s Andrea Mitchel called them “The Benghazi Conspiracy Theorists.”
I am not sure why these soldiers would have a reason to lie. I do understand that most politicians lie.
Democrats only get away with their crap because they control the educational system ...
Thanks - I learned something new.
I think 'the pot calling the kettle black', though, is entrenched in today's lexicon as two parties being guilty (black)...
Just look at the 2 boats captured by Iranians in Boston Whaler size boats.
They were obviously told to stand down and not defend themselves.
Disgusting.
People on the ground may have included former SpecOps.
