Where Was Barry? Where Was Hillary? Power Line by John Hinderaker Sigh, Read more @ http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/05/where-was-barry-where-was-hillary.php and watch the Obama/Billary supporters go on their usual defensive rant, attacking the messenger, then trying to divert to something about President Bush.
Republicans: if you believe the President not being in a certain room at a certain time is a scandal, you're one of them.
Any leader of any organization that does not personally take to heart the welfare of those under him or her is not worthy of that position. Obama has shown, over and over again, that being the President of the United States is no more than a chance to continually get up in front of audiences and preen. Or to take another vacation. Or play another round of golf.
and the left gave Bush hell for being in a grade school class room when 9/11 hit so don't even go there
No perhaps you could tell us why he lied about the cause of it being a youtube video. Perhaps you could tell us why he refuses to breathe a single word to the nation about it. While your at it explain why they withheld damaging emails? And when you are done answering that could you tell us exactly when he sent help and why it never showed up? He sent it right? We still don't know, he wont tell us. If he did then could you tell us why the US military was in shambles under his direct command and incapable of getting to a US Embassy before I could on a commercial flight?
yeah remember they even put a clock up on national tv so we could watch how long he sat for? Hypocrites back then a couple of minutes was unbelievably bad, here an entire night passes, Obama wakes up from dreams of being on letterman, reads the paper then tells Hillary and Rice to jest blame it on a youtube video. Hint: If youre ever in Benghazi make sure you are there with Letterman or Beyoncé, Obama will have a drone there in minutes to protect you.
What happened that night could only be worst if Obama did anything . What i do not understand is his weakness to dictate terms to the Libyan warlords . You don't send troops in a city where everyone is dressed about the same and it is nighttime but you can request the perpetrators to be hung on consulate's perimeter , specially when you are dealing with warlords .

I just PULLED the same testimony that the OTHER THREAD purported to pull. Tell me WHERE anyone said, don't send the troops in. Tell me where where it says the MILITARY was ready and COULD get there. Tell me this isn't some kind of 'inter-mural' pissing contest between military honchos in 2 military branches. This general, and by the way, who is HE(?), says one thing, MULLEN said something quite different. Tell me this isn't Monday morning quarterbacking. Tell me HOW the internal investigation and the 'sensible' voices in the room say one thing and YET ALL OF THE RW ECHOCHAMBER, including MC CAIN (I truly thought better of him) knows better than the inspector general and the people who were there. SERIOUSLY--does the RIGHT have SO LITTLE to pin on Hillary? After all she had 5 year voting record as a Senator and was SEC OF STATE the other 4+ years besides that horrible night. (And remember, she's a left wing 'commie' 'lesbian' with a philandering husband, who wouldn't give blowjobs, who who made a bad land deal in ARK AND has a list of dead bodies from her days there--right??). Shouldn't SOMETHING from her long 'sordid' political past keep her from being PRESIDENT?? She has big thighs and 'chunkles' for chrissake? Won't that be enough for the MALE POPULATION of the country to discount her?? Instead you have to create a SCANDAL USING the dead 'carcasses' of 4 AMERICANS?? And Hillary and Barry are imoral?? You people disgust me. And it doesn't have a GD to do with Hillary Clinton or Chris Stevens or Barry Obama. It does have everything to do with being an American and I never 'play that card'. In explosive testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell said bluntly about the military’s response on the night of the Benghazi attack: “The discussion is not in the ‘could or could not’ in relation to time, space and capability, the point is we should have tried.” In many ways, this contradicts the testimony of more senior military officers, such as a former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, who have said the assets were not in place on the night of the attack to get to the Benghazi diplomatic post and nearby CIA annex in time to make a difference. On the evening of the attack a CIA team did get to the U.S. diplomatic compound in time to save all but two U.S. officials: U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and a State Department officer, Sean Smith. That team fought their way back to the CIA annex with other Americans and sustained a low-level firefight throughout the evening. A second team from Tripoli arrived in Benghazi after commandeering an airplane and being delayed at the airport. Then, at around dawn, two well-aimed mortar shots killed two more former Navy SEALS, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. A report from the House Armed Services Committee as well as the State Department’s own Accountability Review Board report on the Benghazi incident concluded that no military assets were in place to get U.S. personnel to Benghazi in time. On Thursday, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Lovell was not in a position to comment on military options for the night of the attacks. "BG Lovell did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options available to commanders during the attack, nor did he offer specific courses of action not taken," he said. Lovell, who served as the deputy director for intelligence for Africa Command on the night of attacks and was in a secure facility monitoring the situation, agreed that military assets were not in place to get to Benghazi for the initial attack in his testimony But he also said, “We didn’t know how long this would last when we became aware of the distress nor did we completely understand what we had in front of us, be it a kidnapping, rescue, recovery, protracted hostile engagement or any or all of the above.”He added, “But what we did know quite early on was that this was a hostile action. This was no demonstration gone terrible awry.” Lovell also said the State Department never asked the military for backup that evening. “Basically, there was a lot of looking to the State Department for what they wanted and the deference to the Libyan people and the sense of deference to the desires of the State Department in terms of what they would like to have,” he said when asked why no request was made. McKeon, however, disputed this. “The Armed Services Committee has interviewed more than a dozen witnesses in the operational chain of command that night, yielding thousands of pages of transcripts, e-mails, and other documents,” he said. “We have no evidence that Department of State officials delayed the decision to deploy what few resources DoD had available to respond.”
I have a better question; Where is the real Benghazi from the right? You have those on the left that for two years have asked what we can do to make our security better in these places. Then you have the Benghazi of the right. It's called "# Benghazi". It's where this tragedy happened where there was born these micro manufactured scandals within one tragedy, at the expense of four dead people where by the republican party entertains itself by attempting to vilify the opposite party leaders as some cover up trying to get them out of office. Which is really what this is all about. To see if they can get some dirt on their opponents, because they are so driven with hate, they would prefer a countries business go straight into the toilet to get their man or woman, by using four dead people as their vehicle to get this done. I thought Obamacare was the rights ultimate fail. I think Benghazi will go down as bad if not worse; http://on.msnbc.com/1mmUr8v
Fox has had the parents of 2 of the victims on repeatedly. They say it's a scandal. They say their loved ones' friends say it is a scandal. When they say different, I'll back off Benghazi. Until then, it doesn't really matter what anyone else says.
If it is, where is their proof? To make a statement like that you "HAVE" to have proof. Otherwise it's just talk, which reveals your post doesn't make any sense, and you are just part of the problem where nothing adds up. This whole Benghazi nonsense is a disease for the right and you have fallen for the insanity of # Benghazi that is consumed by an obsessive compulsive disorder of insanity drowning in hate. It is one of the most remarkable phenomenons in our political history I have ever seen. An entire political party headed straight into a looney bin.
You got another multiple homicide with 4 victims in which 2 of the parents are constantly claiming scandal, and the other 2 have said nothing? That would be a news story if that happened...
it will go away when the three things needed are known... 1. Who turned down adequate security and why.... 2. Why was the response so inept 3. Who lied and why in the cover-up!
Hillary Clinton Ad - 3 AM White House Ringing Phone [video=youtube;7yr7odFUARg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yr7odFUARg[/video] Hmm..., Hillary was right, so correct in fact, that neither Hillary or Obama were no where to be found during the critical period that cost four men their lives.
Again, it's the same thing. If you actually said something of substance no one would have ever known it. You inject this talking point of the parents who say this is a scandal, and that's it. Dude, you aren't telling me anything. You have to have proof of a scandal. This is the problem. You and the rest of the right wing noise machine are all noise and no substance. Get a life.
This is just another example of what I am talking about. Total nonsense talk. - - - Updated - - - You can't get more # BENGHAZI than this post right here.
Dude, what do you want a thesis? My list of reasons for suspecting something is amiss in Benghazi is extensive, and takes time. I've done it in a few threads here. But it ranges from the parents claiming they were lied to (which is abnormal for such a length of time in a multiple homicide), to why it took the FBI 3 weeks to get to the crime scene, to why did it take 6 months to release Stevens's diary, to why did Stevens not tell Dempsey why he didn't need one of our most elite teams in the military, and why Dempsey didn't ask him, to why has no one been identified or apprehended as suspects, to why Libyan oil production is down significantly since Benghazi.
Here you go again. You're a broken record. You say the parents said there is a scandal. The parents and you cannot prove a scandal which makes your case for a scandal not possible. Some people call that dealing with reality. Now you tell me you have a list of reasons of suspect which is useless as (*)(*)(*) on a Bo Hog, when you just stated the parents say it is a scandal. You can't have this both ways. Its crazy talk. Do you not understand how your statements and questions are all jumbled in one big confusing mess? You take the word of the parents as fact that there is a scandal, but yet, you have reasons to suspect. Why would you suspect things when you are already vouching for what the parents say? That would automatically cancel out any reasons to suspect. Your messages along with the whole right wing are not consistent with the message you and they try to convey, and it is very easy to pick people like you off trying to make a case when there is none. All these why questions you have, while agreeing it is automatically a scandal without answers, and your own mixed messages and contradictions are proof of that. Stop embarrassing yourself. You're too obvious!
Wouldn't it be easier to "pick me off" by just answering the questions? People are convicted on mountains of circumstantial evidence every day, many without a shred of "proof". And I didn't need the parents to suspect. I've suspected from day 1, from minute 1 of me seeing the coverage.
What has that got to do with the price of apples? And what circumstantial evidence are you even talking about? There is no circumstantial "evidence" against anyone in the Obama administration that there was a cover up. You purposely avoided addressing what I said. You cannot take the parents word that it is a scandal factually, which is what you are doing, and then suspect there is a scandal on your own. It either "IS" a scandal, or it is "SUSPECTED" to be a scandal. You are claiming both things.
I don't know. There's just so much stupidity to pick from when it comes to the right. Birther hysteria, Obamacare hysteria, Benghazi hysteria, their sudden hysterical love for Putin the thug, their interminable racist hysteria, debt ceiling hysteria, voter fraud hysteria, ... the list just goes on and on. Personally, I think that their most embarrassing fail was the parade of racists, extremists and idiots that they trotted out in the 2012 election, but they still have a few years to go before the negro is out of their white house, so they might still outdo themselves on the fail scale. The criminal Bundy militia stunt is shaping up as yet another potential pratfall for them.
