Kristen Powers: Why Can't Obama Tell Us The Truth About Benghazi

Kirsten Powers: Why Can't The Obama Administration Tell The Truth About Benghazi? - Katie Pavlich

She's been pretty good about staying on target.

She's much better than Milquetoast Colmes.

BAIER: Kirsten, a lot of people push back and say to use a phrase, what difference does it make now? What about that thinking and the reporting on this?

KIRSTEN POWERS: Well, I think the reporting is important. And I don't understand why the administration can't just tell the truth about this, and that they keep saying things, as George just pointed out, we know aren't true. And we know aren't true from sort of unbiased sources. I mean the Senate intelligence report is not Fox News. He wants to blame Fox News for everything. It's not Fox News.

Please show us evidence of a cover up.

Please don't give us the FOX News interpretation of the Senate Report. Give us proof that there was a cover up. [I'm asking you for the standard Bush supporters asked for when the Bush administration was accused of intelligence shenanigans RE WMDs]

Give us actionable proof of a cover up, because all you have is the speculation of Senate Republicans and the endless lying of Rightwing media.

Here is why I don't think you should get your interpretation of the Senate Report from a partisan source like FOX News. Read the following report below, which is another interpretation. It suggests that the intelligence agencies were not working together, and that the government didn't do enough - but it doesn't suggest a cover up. Interpretations are fun.

The committee determined that the U.S. military command in Africa didn’t know about the CIA annex and that the Pentagon didn’t have the resources in place to defend the State Department compound in an emergency.

The report found no evidence of the kind of political coverup that Republicans have long alleged. Much of it recounted now-familiar facts about deteriorating security conditions in Benghazi in 2012, a year after the fall of longtime dictator Moammar Gaddafi. It filled in new details about the relationship between the State Department compound and the CIA annex about a mile away, and described the concern among many intelligence specialists about the growing potency of Islamist militants in the city.

“In spite of the deteriorating security situation in Benghazi and ample strategic warnings, the United States government simply did not do enough to prevent these attacks and ensure the safety of those serving in Benghazi,” said Sen. Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), the ranking Republican on the panel.


We should have appointed an independent prosecutor to interrogate the Bush administration on why the August 2001 Memo (which predicted an attack involving planes and skyscrapers) was ignored. We should have asked Bush under oath why he failed to defend the eastern seaboard, and why the most basic protocol of having planes "scramble ready" was turned off that day. We allowed 3,000 Americans to be slaughtered by negligence, and nobody from the Bush administration had to testify under oath. This set a terrible precedent. At some point we have to hold both sides accountable, not just the other party. If you'd be willing to make your side testify under oath, than I'd be more than willing to advocate for the same on the Left. Problem is: you only care about government corruption when it happen on the other side. The OP enters this debate purely as a partisan.

It still goes back to the OP. It is a democrat operative that is asking why they can't tell the truth. Yes, you folks keep trying to bring it back to the right but that is not the truth in this case.
 
Love your great example of the liberal idea of respect for women.

I do not pretend to respect all women. Just the ones who deserve it.

So for being a contributor on FOX and daring to speak her mind honestly about Obama who by the way she supports the majority of the time she deserves to be called a bitch and disrespected thanks for proving who really has a war on women.

when do you see a conservative as a contributor to CNN? She, as does Alan Colmes presents the liberal view. In this case she is being honest, more so then what I see on this board.
 
These repubs think their bullshit seaweed new attention just because of WHO they claim is asking. Silly repubs, the only person making it about about who is you. The subject is still bullshit. And claiming that someone is a liberal doesn't mean anything either.

Call her miss America and it's still bullshit. Report it and cry about it. Then build a bridge and get over it.

You liberals are really something else. I posted this once already and here it is again. She is definitely a liberal democrat her track record proves it. You can call a rose a car but that doesn't mean you can drive it to work.

The only reason people have for keeping the truth hidden is because the facts would be incriminating.

We still don't have answers and the liberals just aren't interested in that.

Who decided to remove more security days before the attack?
Who ignored the threats to Stevens over several months and didn't even try to protect him?
Who gave stand down orders after the attack began?
Who came up with the lie about the protesters?
Why did the story regarding why stand down orders were given change several times?
 
Can you read...The truth is liberal, and only Pubs are lying, hater dupes. You're a joke- change the channel.

So when did she go to hell and sell out like Bob Beckel...lol
 
Seriously, the poor liberals on Fox get REALLY tired of arguing the bs, just want to make nice to get their paycheck, and sometimes just go along out of fatigue. So what the F was she referring to...

The problem with your argument is that you think it changes based on WHO says it. The subject itself is bullshit, doesnt matter who says it dummy. So constantly saying "Shes a liberal democrat" doesnt change it

Ha! Its BS because you say so, yeah right. Even liberal democrats are calling Obama on his BS. Four men needlessly died and the POTUS didn't tell the truth. Watergate dragged out for a long time and we all know how that ended. And yes partisan said it was much to do over a two bit breakin.

I agree with the sentiment of a lot of the responders here. It IS pathological with Barry. I, frankly, believe that this guy suffers from "Napoleon Bonaparte Complex". For him to admit that Benghazi was a terrorists act (and actually mean that) would be, for him, an admission of defeat - he simply cannot do that. This man was raised, from childhood to believe that he was somehow "above" everyone else when, in reality, he suffers from "little dick syndrome". Common with those who are inferior.

When an avowed liberal like Kirsten Powers is asking these questions - the end for this incompetent slob is near. The American people have turned on him. His liberal base (except for those here on this forum) are coming to understand that he is incompetent and have turned their attention on to that fat-assed Hillary "the murderer" Clinton.

One thing that you can ALWAYS count on from the left - they devour their own.

Deep down in your gut you feel that way don't you?

Truthiness.
 
Kirsten has been transforming away from the Obama administration for some time.
She is very left, but at least she is an honest "lefty". She dropped her support for Obamacare almost immediately after it's inception.
As I have stated all along - ANYONE who still supports Obama is doing so out of ignorance or chooses to ignore the massive problems and consistently doing the opposite of what he says.

Kirstin Powers is a conservative who works for Fox News.

So with this logic everyone should take Steve Schmidt's stances on MSNBC as conservative thinking?

"John McCain’s former senior adviser Steve Schmidt says he has “deep regret” for helping to create a “freak show” wing of the Republican Party when he had a hand in bringing former McCain running mate Sarah Palin to the national stage"

Steve Schmidt rants against GOP ?asininity? - Tal Kopan - POLITICO.com

No, most of us realize people like Schmidt and Powers are pundits who tow the company line on occasion or they will be let go.

His only regret is that they had a crappy ticket.

Powers is a far left lib, but she is also honest. A rare combination.

HA! Now you're getting it! Its bullshit because I say so is ludicrous and so is Benghazi conspiracy is real because Powers said so.

LOL! See, doesnt matter if Powers says it or not what matters is if it is true or false. What Powers is saying is bullshit. What truth? Its much like repeating "this lawless president" but never stating whats unlawful.
