House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday where she sat down for a wide-ranging interview. The Minority Leader addressed the ongoing scandal surrounding President Barack Obama’s administration’s response to the September 11 attacks in Libya which left four dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Pelosi said that Republicans in Congress withheld $300 million in funds for Libya which would have provided for enhanced security around the Benghazi consulate. When Blitzer asked if she thought Republican calls for an investigation into the incident in Benghazi were political in nature, Pelosi replied “One might suspect that.”

Every day I read about ex Speaker of the House Pelosi...I haven’t heard from Speaker Boehner...in a month or more.

So, what is the truth, is Boehner silent, or is there a RATagandist blackout of him?

Either is a possibility.

[Bullish]

Pelosi’s probably the biggest pantload in the history of the world.

Hey Nancy Pelosi ?

Here is another News article... from CNN, your good old buddies.

According to a ( read the date Nancy Pelosi, August 1, 2012 ) CNN news report:
The State Department released a statement that Wednesday the United States set aside:

" $25 million for "nonlethal" assistance to the Syrian opposition " ...

Yes Nancy, that $ 25 Million could have helped beef up security at the US Embassy in Libya instead of giving it to those who indeed attacked the US Embassy in Libya.

Sorry Nancy, your lies don't hold water.

Should we find more news reports of you and this administration arming the Libyan rebels ? where that money could have been put to good use in beefing up our security at the US Embassy in Libya ?

[leprechaun9]

Hey peanut brain Pelosi and Wolfy, it’s in the Budget that Dingy Harry Reid would not bring up for a vote!

[American Constitutionalist]

Drudge, the New Media, Rush Limbaugh, need to counter this with news reports of actual funding of the Libyan rebels by this Administration who in fact attacked our US Embassy in Libya.
Instead of funding the Libyan rebels, that money could have been put to good use in beefing up the security at our US Embassy in Libya.

Counter the lies with facts....

[The_Media_never_lie]

Plenty of funds for what they want to do. Plenty of funds for Michelles vacations. What was lacking was the will.

[onthegulf]

I really can’t believe that there is anyone out there that believes anything this administration says. Please wake up, we have dumbed done our schools so that the children can’t think for themselves, they are brainwashed to believe this crap. WAKE UP AMERICA.

[Bullish]

So, what is the truth, is Boehner silent, or is there a RATagandist blackout of him?

They probably have plenty of "goods" against Boehner and they're blackmailing the hell out of him.

NEVER underestimate the evil of the democrat party.

I loathe Pelosi, she is clinically insane, you could tell her to look up, she’d look down, you could have a hot stove and say to her: “whatever you do, don’t put your hand on the stove, or you’ll get burned”, well, she would not only place her hand on the stove, she’d smile while her hand smelters from the heat!

[American Constitutionalist]

Nancy ? when was this supposed $ 300 million funding was to have been blocked by the Republicans ? after the attacks on our US embassy in Libya ? well DUH !

Or the truth of the matter is ? that was the whole budget of the State Department of $ 300 Million ?

[BonRad]

somebody in the New Media has brought up that the $$ for Valeri Jarret’s illegal Secret Service detail could have covered this need...

[bray]

Maybe she could have kicked in some of the $150 million she’s stolen from the American people?

Pray for America

We’ve heard enough. Drag her to the gallows.

She is lying. She and her libs made the cuts right about the same time homeland issued this warning..... http://www.nationalterroralert.com/2012/02/17/al-qaeda-and-iran-may-be-planning-a-spectacular-attack/

She is lying. She and her libs made the cuts right around the same time homeland issued this warning... http://www.nationalterroralert.com/2012/02/17/al-qaeda-and-iran-may-be-planning-a-spectacular-attack/

[Ohiobelle]

Or Pelosi made the cuts around the homeland issued this warning... http://www.nationalterroralert.com/2012/02/16/al-qaeda-on-rise-in-syria-has-marriage-of-convenience-with-iran/

Not to worry Ms Nancy.. help from the media is on the way.. a “nonpartisan” radio that features Truthers will likely be “reporting” that Romney asked Bush and Cheney to have Al Qaeda attack Benghazi “like they did to being down the Towers.”

[Texas Songwriter]

If what Pelosi says is true, she should welcome house investigation. I doubt anything this.....person says.

[BlessingsofLiberty]

“...Iran can provide three components that al-Qaeda desperately needs to launch a high-profile attack — an attack that would avenge the death of Osama bin Laden.”

Good find! Thank you.

[Mustangman]

Geeze.....The Dems have an excuse for everything. This whinny form of politics fits the whinny 60’s generation perfectly, too. They have an answer for evrything but, a solution for absolutely nothing.

The 60’s generation changed the world with their art and music (I’ll give them that) but, good god they are crappy leaders when it comes to the hard realities of life.

Nancy...Harry.....President Obama....”Put your Beatles albums away, put down your bongs, and send your trashy friends home. It’s time to break out the calculator and figure out how your going to pay next months bills.”
