GOP Representative Darrell Issa "Hillary and Obama" not targets of Benghazi Hearings?

GOP Representative Darrell Issa "Hillary and Obama" not targets of Benghazi Hearings? ::: Said with a straight face on NBC's Meet The Press



can the Republican party ever be taken seriously when this is what their leadership has the balls to say in public? Do they think the rest of America is as gullible and moronic as their base is?

What was it that Carney said last week when ABC discovered that the CIA talking points memo went through 12 revisions?

I remember now, he blamed Romney.

Who is it that is rapidly losing credibility again?

Talking points after the fact of an attack on a US Mission/Consulate? So like Watergate and 9/11/2001 rolled into one.

geeze, snore fest

and who the fuck is 'Romney'?

Watching Meet the Press, they admitted Benghazi wasn't even an embassy. It was a consulate which is why no Marines were there.

Consulates are there to provide a diplomatic presence in a city of importance and are generally about the size of a small office with a correspondingly smaller staff. Unlike embassies which have grown to become monstrous fortifications after the attacks in the 90s, consulates are meant to be more accessible and are usually located in office buildings or something similarly low key.

The reality is that marine detachments at embassies are typically there to protect the embassy building itself and the classified material that’s located there. They are not there to actually protect the Chief of Mission (who is usually the ambassador) and perimeter security itself is ordinarily handled by the Host Nation (for clarification on this see statements by Colonel van Orpdorp here). That is to say, even if a marine detachment did exist in Libya, it would have been at the embassy building in TRIPOLI rather than in Benghazi with the COM.

Consulates are not Embassies

You gotta remember....this is Darrell Issa, a guy once indicted for grand theft auto, and accused of stealing cars at least 2 other times, and who made his fortune selling....CAR ALARMS!

Anything else?

I'm watching Meet the Press. Issa said Pickering was not willing to appear. Pickering IS ON THE SHOW and told Issa he was told he was not allowed and not invited. Issa then said, "We don't want a staged show". Pickering pretty much called Issa a liar and Issa basically agreed.

Yes. Issa is so used to not being challenged and sticking to talking points that he temporarily lost where he was going with his usual shit

I couldn't agree more with the former SecDef's opinion.

Those critics who babble on about sending SpecOp's or aircraft in Benghazi have little to no idea about what it takes to mount a military operation on such short notice. They seem to think all a President has to do is pick up the phone, order in the troops and they'll just sort of magically appear out of thin air.

Former defence Secretary Blasts Benghazi Critics For ?Cartoonish? View Of Military | Business Insider Australia

The babblers are the ones who lied to save an election, OldGuy. Critics are those who want promised transparency that apparently has been oh, so conveniently redacted.

You are saying Romney lost because he was cheated out of an opportunity to use a terrorist attack as political capital?

Well, the data shows Romney was never going to win starting around somewhere after around September 2012

more proof and validation.

right wingers suck

Really. The way he "sputtered". It was pretty hilarious. And when he said Republicans weren't targeting either Obama or Clinton, I spewed.

I think I caught Chris Matthews' leg tingle over that one .

way funny to see the little shit squirm in his own pond scum

Holy crap that's the funniest line I've heard all week, and this was quite a week for funny lines from the inmates already!!!

No partisan motivation for the hearings, eh??

What sort of hearings do you imagine Darrell Issa would want to hold if all of this were the same except for a Republican being in the whitehouse?

The only reason its "partisan" is because Democrats are being partisan in ignoring the truth. They know Hillary and the Hussein fucked up big time, but they cannot admit it. Hillary must be the next Preisdent, at any cost.

Party over country every time, the Democrat way.

What was fucked up?

Are attacks on diplomatic missions unique?

Attacks on diplomats are not unique, which is exactly why they should of been protected.

So why weren't they?

Right, there should had not been any marines or any armed US members because its a "consulate". And of course there is no reason to step up security more than usual, even if the host nation's government had collapsed and terrorists are making threats.
Nope, nothing to see here....move along...

Poor libs. Their fictional narrative that Obama has kept us safe is falling apart. How many times have we heard "Obama got Osama"?

Yet his foreign policy still allowed:

-a visa issued for the Christmas Day bomber to enter the country, only dumb luck prevented him from blowing up an airplane.
-the New York Times Square bomber attempting his attack, only stopped by a t-shirt vendor.
-ignored warnings from the Russians about the Boston Bombers


And lets not forget that the only reason Obama finally decided to let the seals raid Osama's compound was because the CIA reminded him that if he let the opportunity go, he would never get re-elected. The only real reason he did it was because otherwise it would of been political suicide.

Reason it out. What is the difference between a consulate and an embassy.
