Benghazi!! Benghazi!! Benghazi !!

[Freewill]

Did you know that there have been 10 attacks under Obama? How many Americans died under Bush? How many time did his administration lie about those attacks?

Yes, someone needs perspective.

 

[jon_berzerk]

IT IS A COVER-UP


you need to relax; you have zero facts yourself.
the investigation is uncovering the truth

just be quiet while Republicans do the heavy lifting ok?

No one knows why the attackers attacked, but people like you are pretending you know.

That is lying. To state as fact something that cannot be shown to be factual is a lie.

Your indictment of the administration is based on a lie.

thats why an investigation is warranted

you're making a fool of yourself as usual
the only reason you oppose an investigation is because deep in your heart you know it is a cover-up going on

yes it is time for a select committee

Here, I'll get you started:

 

[NYcarbineer]

from reading the emails released in the FOIA

it is quite clear that the admin did not know

WTF was going on other then it was a big deal

and started shaping the story based on news reports

until it mutated into blaming a youtube video

There were reports from the scene of attackers citing their outrage over the video.

You people, as usual, have conveniently ignored those reports.

actually that is false

You haven't ignored that reporting?

lol

While the attack was still going on, while the bodies were not even cold, while the fires were still raging -- Romney was out there, politicizing it.

Then he mugged for the camera the next morning with a shit-eating grin on his face -- referring to the video and blaming the attack on Obama.

What an enormous dirtbag.

A Map of Muslim Protests Around the World

Reuters / Google Maps

If you can't keep track of all the Muslim protests erupting across the globe, you're not alone. The uproar over a 14-minute anti-Islam YouTube video has sparked furious protests from Somalia to Egypt to Sudan to Tunisia to Libya to Bangladesh to Indonesia to Pakistan. With new reports of protests surfacing every minute, we've compiled the latest reported incidents into this handy interactive Google Map. Click the locations and embedded links for more details about each incident."

A Map of Muslim Protests Around the World - The Wire

Here is a timeline of the protests over the video. Note the dates. Only one on 9/11 the rest happened after. Why were there protests in countries like England? What could be argued is that the protests happened after the President of the US made the fictitious claim that the attack on Benghazi was over a video that was seldom seen and was on the internet for months prior to Obama's disaster at Benghazi. It can be further argued that all those who lied, Hillary, Obama, and Rice should be put on trial for inciting riot.

What an enormous dirtbag.

Romney may have broken protocol in his comments but he was after all right about what he said.

Here is one thing Obama said, when do you think we will be seeing this justice served?

Obama addressed the nation surrounded by the grandeur of his office. In the Rose Garden, with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at his side and the White House behind him, the president mourned the loss of American lives and vowed that “justice will be done.”

Myopic.

A flame had been ignited.

Some of those religious freaks go nuts after a one-dimensional cartoon is shown depicting their Prophet. Many of these are unstable, uneducated fanatics.

I don't know why people find it so amazing it could be both -- the video and some of the factions in that crowd that preplanned it.

Things can happen concurrently when angry fucked up groups assemble.

To the devout, hearing word their Prophet was depicted as a pig fucker and in the most demeaning way possible certainly will only add to the rage...

And you know there's this invention called TeeVee and radio, where it was broadcast all over the friggin' world Headline News. It was a huge headline here, that night.

They also do have social media. They're not living in caves, you know.

You think those in Libya were not able to view the news and it didn't rile up some of the kook religious fundamentalist nutburgers there once they instantly got wind an American movie had been made that was the equivalent to them of calling Jesus a pig fucker??

Hell, a few days before a fatwa had been ordered by the Grand Mafti regarding that video.

It was a combination of people that took part in the tumult and to deny they were isolated from it is just insane.

It can be further argued that all those who lied, Hillary, Obama, and Rice should be put on trial for inciting riot.

Proof positive of the insanity. ^

There is eye-witness testimony that there were no protests at Benghazi before the attack.

And one thing you're missing, because you're stupid, is that Benghazi was an outpost, a Consulate in a City known to be controlled by terrorists. You're showing protests at EMBASSIES. Not at consulates in the backwoods

Nobody was there besides a few indigenous employees and a few CIA, spook types.

Why would dimocrap scum.... er, er, er, ragheads protest in a place where nobody would notice?

Why?

Nobody does that? Nobody organizes a protest in the middle of nowhere where there's no press, no coverage, no 'objects of protest'.

Nobody.

Not even dumb-fucks like you.

There was no protest at Benghazi. Only idiots and knob-slurping sycophants buy into that.

lick it first, it doesn't hurt going in as much

i saw it with my own two eyes and heard it with my ears.


obama official said in front of the panel; and this was MONTHS AGO; that video was a "non-event" as far as the attack on Benghaz was concerned

 

[bedowin62]

nice list leftard; where are the deaths and injuries to Americans on it?

 

[bedowin62]

do dirt-poor people generally bring mortars down to the anti-American demonstrations?

your list is irrelevant

 

[Meathead]

nice list leftard; where are the deaths and injuries to Americans on it?

Yeah, and where are the mortars listed.

 

[paperview]

Why is it so difficult to understand -- when it comes to crowds gathered / protests / attacks, it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

Sure, some where there to attack, some were there to protest, some where there watch, some where there to loot.

This isn't a difficult concept.

That video spurred shit everywhere with extremists and hard line Muslims freaking out because that video was like making a movie about Jesus fucking a pig, to them anyway.

Those nutcakes flip wigs if you depict their Prophet like that -- even in a newspaper cartoon, it sends 'em flyin...It did, in 54 Countries/locales.

Did some of them plan it prior? Sure. Crowds, nutcakes, crowds, encompass individuals.

"However, according to witnesses, a number of Libyans showed up on the day of the attack on their own to protest the video and, later, as a result of rumors that the Americans were killing protesters. Though Abu Khattala and members of Ansar al-Sharia were spotted at the scene, "Looters and arsonists, without any sign of a plan, were the ones who ravaged the compound after the initial attack," the Times reports."
