GOP lies on Benghaz keep piling up

[blackhawk]

Why hasn't there been any justice for the people killed in Benghazi?

Because it's far more important to see to it that you can keep the insurance coverage and doctor that you like.

Which we now know you can't.

 

[Sunshine]

Why wouldn't she, It's just another a Democrat propagandist news source much like the New York Times.

True.

Man Lumpums, that's some kinda weird cat in your avvy.

I'm going Cheshire for a while, lately, I've needed the extra teeth...

 

[kiwiman127]

Iraq shouldn't be part of the discussion but Benghazi wasn't a first by any stretch of the imagination.

January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed.

June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al-Qaida attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.

October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of “Bali Bombings.” No fatalities.

February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.

May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al-Qaida terrorists storm the diplomatic compound killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.

July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.

December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaida terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.

March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name “David Foy.” This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what’s considered American soil.)

September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.

January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.

March 18, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.

July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.

September 17, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.
===========================================
Yeah, Obama fucked up. No one should deny it.
But where was the outrage to the listed events. There was none.

Did President Bush and his administration repeatedly lie and tell the American public that these attacks were over a video?

You will note that I said Obama fucked up. So lets move on to the incidents that I posted. I asked where was the outrage? In most cases, the people who were going nuts even prior to Obama's cover up, remained absolutely silent when these prior incidents happened. I don't remember a peep from anyone. That's pretty fucking sad if you ask me.

 

[rdean]

Fox News isn't the subject.

Oh you're right....the topic is:

Media Matters?
Seriously?

AMAZING statement!!!! WOW

Media Maters is the proven deliberate leftist apologist hack source linked in the OP. Fox is not.

Yelling FOX NEWS! doesn't change the nature of Media Matters.

Speaking of Fox News:

 

[rdean]

What about the dead Americans killed in Benghazi? Does anyone know if anyone has been held responsible for their murders?

FBI barred from making Benghazi arrests in Libya : CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com

Libya Thwarts Arrests in Benghazi Attack

Ex-Counterterrorism Official: US Will Find Benghazi Killers

Learn to use Goggle idiot moron.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

And I bet a drone is the only option.

And you fuckers will even complain about that just because they were sent by Obama.

 

[oreo]

We could of easily gotten men from Italy there within 7 hours.

I believe in America...This was a fuck up.

Several officials in Bengazi had told the state department that they needed more security. After all, they had already been attacked on two different occasions--one time actually blowing a hole through the wall of the consulate.

This is testimony from the people and security was there. Now you've got two choices. Either you give them the additional security they're requesting, or you get them the hell out of there.

Neither one of those choices were made--the Obama administration blamed it on a remote utube video as the cause--and everyone knows that this was a planned terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11. Obama LIED again--"surprise-surprise"---

Who got their goose cooked over it, is Hillary Clinton. She was Secretary of State at the time and the buck lands in her lap. If she attempts to run for the nomination in 2016--she is going to get run over with Bengazi.

 

[Unkotare]

GW Bush lied about IRAQ.

No he didn't.

 

[BDBoop]

Yes he did.

 

[Unkotare]

Nope.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Ben Ghazzi, Ben Gay, and Ben Dover walk into a bar...

Benghazi is just another piece of red meat thrown at the rabid right to keep them energized

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

GW Bush lied about IRAQ.

No he didn't.

What lie?

 

[BDBoop]

Nope.

Yup.

Democrat Quotes on Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction

--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

But you must admit they are very proficient at those three!

Very proficient. Wonder how good they could do good? If their aim was to do something good for this country, they could be amazing. They were the party that built the interstate highway system and built NASA.

They wouldn't of done either if that was up for discussion today.

I know. It's beyond sad. It's tragic how they've damaged this country. Worse, they want to finish the job they started under Bush.

Information provided by the Bush Administration. You conveniently left that part out. One thing we did know for sure was that it was Bin Laden who was behind 9/11. And Republicans let him go. Where is the outrage? And what exactly is Bush saying here? Can any Republicans explain it to me?

 

[Politico]

It wan't good enough for them either. She be goooooooooooooooone.

 

[Pogo]

That's your answer???? It's out there on the INTERNETS???? LMAO!

A Berry-bot? No, I'm a rational human being who only wants to hear the truth for a change.

The answer is you don't get an answer....go find your own answer...it's hiding up your ass....now take a deep breath, put your head between your knees and GET BUSY....best of luck, don't hurt the gerbil, happy hunting.

If that's your argument Bull........... guess who lost.

 

[ScienceRocks]

We spend 700 billion dollars per year on our military so we can be free.

Free to speak our minds
Free to govern our own country the way we wish

I don't give two damns about how the middle east feels about America. Our only mistake was not granting enough protection to our 4 guys on the ground.

 

[Mojo2]

Benghazi - as either a cover up or a story of indifference while the president slept has no real truth to it.

I side with the Libs on this one.

One question. With regard to failing to send a rescue force, how did anyone in command with the rank to make such decisions know how long the battle would last?

Actually, there are several questions but one at a time.
