The really funny part is Republicans think ABC is liberal. They've managed to look at sleazy as Faux News and the far right. Controversy sells, and let's get real: this is very much a manufactured controversy. Media wants a narrative, and they will fix the facts to spin that narrative.

 

I don't THINK ABC is liberal.

I KNOW they are.

Maybe not quite as bad as NBC or MSNBC but not far behind.

 

If true, why is it then the Obama administration was pursuing an aggressive expansion of its consular reach through the Benghazi station? Whey were they especially pushing this aggressive agenda over the 911 anniversary? And why were they doing it over the anniversary when they had been warned by allies of pent up tensions.

This Senator does know, doesn't he, that even inept Canada knew some (*)(*)(*)(*) was coming down. In its history, Canada has only ever completely severed diplomatic ties with a sovereign nation twice, in Germany in 1939 and in Syria a week before this cluster (*)(*)(*)(*). If Canada, the laughing stock of the global intelligence community knew something was afoot there must have been billboards all over the ME, saturation media bombardment and a squadron of sky writers with neon smoke. And even then they'd probably leave the proof in a phone booth in a mall [this actually happened - a spy left his notes in a public phone booth!] and the bosses would only know 'cause it was on TV.

Having said that, I suspect there is truth in what the senator says. And rather than accept the will of the people through congressional vote, Obama decided his way was better and forged ahead despite warnings of possible terrorist activity because he needed the photo op of him showing how his 'liberation' of Libya caused this new era of co-operation and expansion of good will.....blah, blah, blah.

You have to admit that photo op would be worth enough votes to justify such an aggressive expansion and Mr. Obama, to the pride of the DNC is the most aggressive campaigner in the country.

 

which only indicates you're profoundly delusional.

 

I don't think so.

 

Note that you habitually author partisan gotcha threads that consistently attack the right so your disclaimer is rather hard to believe

So what's the alternative, in you "wise and generally correct opinion"? Act like nothing ever happened? Shrug your shoulders and turn away from the mess?

Americans aren't supposed to abandon Americans when they are under attack (and the State Department negligence encouraged the attack to happen). Shouldn't someone pay for leaving Americans to die in Benghazi?
You can bet your asterisk that the left never let the appearance of politicization stop them when the Marine barracks were attacked in Beirut under Reagan.

I agree, actually It is easy to criticize when the Obama Regime made three glaring errors: One, they never adequately defended our diplomats despite repeated requests to do so and the growing presence of Ansar Al Sharia.
Two, while under attack the White House offered no response to help people under fire. That's unforgivable!
And, three, the coverup and stonewalling that goes on to this day! Stonewalling is what got Nixon booted out of office.
If you recall Nixon had to leave office when members of his own party decided he couldn't be defended anymore his actions were so deplorable.

Of course, it will snow in Hell before democrats do what is right rather than what's politically expedient. Your post shows this very clearly.

Ah, mindless partisan drivel disguised as a call to kiss and make up...how ironic.

 

You posted an opinion, claiming it was "correct and right" (or some such thing) and I ask a question based that opinion. So please, it wasn't "off topic". You simply don't want to answer the question, fine, don't. No need to make up some "silly" excuse like that.

 

Your unwise and unqualified opinion is just that. Obama takes his voter base for the idiots they are, hoping they'lll swallow the garbage he's feeding them, successfully. First, he knew it was a terrorist attack, then he did not. Then nobody knew nothing. It appears, he knew before he did not know, LoL. And you guys are wondering, why we conservatives call you a low information voters?

 

That's not really true either.

These claims were reported in the US. But the official version held sway.

If that's the point you were trying to make, consider the American media's response to the selling of the Iraq war. Nearly every outrageous claim about non existant WMD's and non existant ties to Al Quida that were being trumpeted all over Fox Noise, right wing blogs and talk radio were laughed at by the rest of the world.

Colin Powell's UN speech was discredited in the interenational press in less than 24 hours.

But not in the US media, which megaphoned the spin for years.

If Magarief "made the call" right on the 12th, then why is it that that call was called into question almost immediately (although the message did not seem to penetrate the heads of the Republicans on Issa's committee)? And why has no one been caught?

 

I am not sure whom that rambling diatribe is directed at, but certainly if you are going to attempt to lamely insult me you can do better than that.

 

As I have clearly stated, and will again to clarify my position which seems obscured for some odd reason, I have absolutely no interest in your off topic, incessant questions. i understand you are frustrated by my refusal to participate in your posts' incessant trolling, but I would suggest finding something more productive.

 

The Right has given up on Benghazi as a "scandal"....atleast their punditocracy has-

To this day, I cannot think of one thing about Benghazi that Obama and his regime have told the truth about. It's all been a fabrication of lies, distortions, deliberate attempts to mislead, and manipulations. But it's protocol for me to at least provide a few links, so here goes:

In the last story link, here's a short excerpt from an interview with President Transparency from last Sept. 13th on the campaign trail, in Boulder, Colorado:

KROFT: “Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word ‘terrorism’ in connection with the Libya attack.”
OBAMA: “Right.”
KROFT: “Do you believe that this was a terrorist attack?”
OBAMA: “Well, it’s too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.”

I could go on posting this stuff the rest of the day, Iriemon, and it would only reinforce the emerging, ugly, embarrassing fact that Obama and his sycophants are bold, crass, deliberate liars! A Special Prosecutor needs to be appointed (just as one was in the Watergate Scandal), and, if evidence is found to exist that Obama committed a "high crime" or "misdemeanor", then formal impeachment proceedings need to begin, with removal from office to be the result.

The CD information request? Very sincere! The "great recession" ENDED almost exactly four years ago, and yet Fed. Chairman Ben Bernanke keeps interest rates ground down in the dirt to further enrich the banking cartels, the stock markets, and the other parasites who owe their soaring prosperity to the meddling manipulation of the Fed and other central banks. Me? I'm just trying to get a decent rate of return on some kind of Jumbo CD, in an insured savings institution. The best I've been able to find was, as I said, last November, at a pathetic 1.15% interest rate on a 12-month CD. You're a pretty damn smart guy, Iriemon, and I was only hoping that you could tell me if you've got a better place to put savings than that. That's all I wanted to know, because I have no intention of following the lemming-plunge into another financial abyss when Chairman Benny and the "boys" decide to engineer another shake-out. ​

 

Pollycy, when you lose Conrad Black at "National Review"....you've lost the war.

I'd leap over to the "IRS" or "AP" Bandwagon now....the wheels haven't come off those...




yet.

 

It's a buffet. We've had enough shrimp for the moment. Now, for a slice of prime rib. More shrimp later.

 

Quote of the week ^^^^^

 

I dabble at NR and his name doesn't link to anything in my mind.

Also, he's just waving off impeachment. Lots of Republicans are doing the same.

 

As Conrad Black goes, so goes the conservative movement? How wishfully absurd!

 

You didn't bother to provide a link to whatever it is you're talking about, but I'll assume it was to an article I dug up from Conrad Black about the vagaries and permutations of the impeachment process, and things of that nature. Whatever.

Obama should have been impeached and removed for breaking the War Powers Act in his Libya adventure in 2011, but he got away with it; therefore, it would seem unlikely that President Transparency would face justice over the Benghazi "embarrassment", which only got four Americans killed because of bungling, cowardly, disorganized Obama regime malfeasance. Nevertheless, there's a limit to how much you can have crammed down your throat before you finally gag and puke it all back up. We need to puke Obama out of our system! It's a great tragedy that we ever installed a thing like him in the Oval Office in the first place. If he committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" then he needs to gotten the hell OUT of the White House!

 

So this is the big lie you're ranting on and on about?

As of the date of that statement, the information they had from the CIA was that this was a spontaneous event inspired by the Cairo demonstrations over the video.

Obama says it was an attack on Americans and they are investigating. He called it an act of terror.

And this is the big lie you're foaming about?

It just reinforces that you have an obsession against obamian.

Thanks. I don't generally consider myself a parasite, but free country, you can say what you want. As for CDs, call a broker.

 

Ha ha ha, lol, rofl etc.

This is the funniest rant that I think I've read for a while. It has it all... idiocy, delusion, ridiculousness, ignorance, deliberate disinformation, and tops it all off with a healthy dose of right-wing propagandic drivel.

 

Why did you start a new thread? Why didn't you post your inane arguments here --> http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...i-called-act-terrorism-4-pinnochios-wapo.html

 

The Benghazi scandal is a right wing noise campaign. A hit job on Hillary Clinton.

I guess the GOP was hoping to plant the code word "Benghazi" in the heads of the faithful. That worked, but you can't win elections on it.

It had serious holes in it from the start. And now, its' falling apart.

 

But of course you know whome my "rambling" is directed at, it says so clearly in my post. As for the "lamely insult", I do not need to do any better; to repeatedly be truthful hurts Liberals hard enough.

It is the fact that Obama "knew" it was a case of terrorism before he did not "know" it was. He treats you Liberals for idiots he hope you guys are. Care to think this one for yourself and argue this statement with me, my friend?

 

OBAMA: “Well, it’s too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.”

Lol, you can tell that the right-wing hasn't just pulled up to the Cliff of Crazy, they have stepped on the accelerator and pulled right over the edge.

Seriously? This is your impeachable offense? Wow, the right-wing's desperation has grown so pathetic that it's hard to just laugh in their face.
