"I just think it’s pathetic Hopey and Hilary got some people killed so they could keep giving their version of ‘Mission Accomplished’ to the media who ate it up like spoon fed ice crème." WM

   
The hearings have shown that everything that happened in Benghazi was totally above board and that any response by the military could not have happened in a timely manner. That was testified to by the commanders of the troops. I mean the big boys. Who else can you ask to testify?

All these numb-nuts who sat on their hands and watched as we wrought death and destruction upon entire nations of innocent people are now angry about a single embassy attack. Even though more than 4 dozen embassy attacks occurred under GWB's watch. Even though the incredibly thorough and long-winded congressional investigation into the Benghazi attack has turned up essentially nothing.

Yes, where was the outrage back then??

Such hypocrisy!!

And don't forget when Ronny-Raygun caused THESE deaths of American Marines.

Yes. Where were the Republicans when.....


Marines were under strict presidential orders not to load their weapons

-....According to Col. Timothy J. Geraghty, the commander of the Marines in Beirut: “It didn’t take a military expert to realize that our troops had been placed in an indefensible situation. Anyone following the situation in Lebanon in ordinary news reports could realize a tragedy was in the making.

-....The Reagan administration immediately attempted to deflect blame for the attack with a deluge of false statements and misrepresentations. In a televised speech four days after the bombing, the president insisted the attack was unstoppable, erroneously declaring that the truck crashed through a series of barriers, including a chain-link fence and barbed-wire entanglements, and argued that the U.S. mission was succeeding.

-....Despite the fact that Reagan had dispatched the Marines into an impossible situation and then had issued orders that led to their inability to defend themselves, he suffered relatively little criticism from the press or partisan opponents, and after months of vigorous campaigning was overwhelmingly re-elected the following year.

Those Marines had been ordered into Lebanon by President Ronald Reagan as a part of an international peacekeeping force following the June 1982 Israeli invasion of that country and the Palestine Liberation Organization’s withdrawal.

Making an already-dangerous situation even more hazardous, the Marines were under strict presidential orders not to load their weapons — this, so that they would appear as peacekeepers and not as armed belligerents in the conflict and despite the fact that they were moving into a war zone.

Realistically, they had become “sitting ducks” from the moment they entered Beirut. And as a result of their absurd orders, when the explosives-laden truck sped toward their doomed barracks, the two unarmed guards had no way of stopping it.

A former defense secretary for Ronald Reagan says he implored the president to put Marines serving in Beirut in a safer position before terrorists attacked them in 1983, killing 241 servicemen.

"I was not persuasive enough to persuade the president that the Marines were there on an impossible mission," Caspar Weinberger says in an oral history project capturing the views of former Reagan administration officials.


Thanks for nothing, you big-mouthed, unprincipled Republican chickenhawk hypocrites.

It is a witch hunt. And Nancy Pelosi was kind enough not to start impeachment proceedings on Bush....big mistake...huge.

Love it when Daney and Webby try to re-write history to suite their own wingnut version of past events and current events.

It's sooo tiring and such a waste of time continually correcting their lies and made up nonsense. Spoon fed by FOX, and regurgitating the same BS over and over again. This is what you get from low information gullible FOXbots.

Star; you are a well known liar and you are trying to do it again so I will ask again: in which of the above did a US Ambassador die?

Ooooo so you're saying she's the Cindy Sheehan of 2013.

OK then I'll tell you why she's the Joe the Plumber of 2013 ...

Hilary or Obama didn't lie to people and send them to war. They were in cross fire or in a flash riot or a planned riot or something that we couldn't defend ... to be determined what. Not lying to wage war.

Cool.

"Star; you are a well known liar and you are trying to do it again so I will ask again: in which of the above did a US Ambassador die? WM

...umm, so only a US Ambassador's life is important?? Just plain old GI Jills and Joes lives don't count for anything? Mean nothing?

You hit every button on my creep-o-meter, and on top of that, you're too pathetic even to be ashamed of yourself!!!

Back to the original subject, Obama is going to get blamed for all of Congress's screw up's. As far as I'm concerned Obama has made his share of screw ups. He's proved beyond a doubt he's pregidous by having rappers in the Whitehouse who advocate killing cops and whiteys. If I were president and had David Allen Coe perform in the Whitehouse I would be immediately impeached. He's got away with murdering innocent civilians and death without a trial. He's spent way too much time trying to do away with the 2nd Amendment while the economy is still going to hell and millions are out of work. When he appointed Rohm Emmanuel to his first cabinet (Golman Sach's boy) and one of Monsantos leaders I knew immediately we were in deep sh!t.  He and Congress raised taxes on the middle class and they're not through if the House appoves the internet tax which is highly illegal. A states power stops at its border. They're desperate, they're running out of things to tax. All the Republican Party now has to do is to quit trying to buy the Hiapanic vote and run someone with brains and balls. There's a few of them who are honest businessmen and put em out front. Palin and Bachman need to go and have their own comedy TV show. They can have Herman Caine as a guest. The Tea Party needs to realize the Koch Bros. are running them, two of the most evil destructive men in the US. I doubt this will ever happen, but one can always hope.

Dear Morons;

Hopey and Hilary got caught lying about an attack on the anniversary of 9/11. They lied because Obama was in the middle of an election and was  seen as more than a bit confused as far who’s side he’s on sometimes, the US or those who conspire against her. He put a lot of time and energy into spinning the picture that because of him, Muslim – US relations were better and terrorist we’re looking at other targets.

Most likely obama and hilary denied request for security from stevens so as not to look the administration was talking out of both sides of their mouth. When it blew up on them, (literally) they had to make a decision; respond with force or pray the attack was minor and nothing serious would happen. They gambled and lost. 4 people dead and on top of that, evidence a couple died while asking repeatedly for backup.

So they had to come up with something, so they made up a story about a demonstration gone bad over a Youtube video. By the way, they had no problem responding with force and having the guy who made the movie arrested on an unrelated charge….  

This is what you people don’t get: Bush didn’t lie about WMD. 75% of the world came to the same conclusion so you can just shut up once and for all about that. Hopey didn’t lie until it became clear Stevens was dead. Obama really believed his BS about Muslims liking the US again. He was wrong and it cost a US Ambassador his life.  So he’d lied and worse than that, send Susan Rice out as a sacrifice hoping because she was a black woman, she’d get a pass. That’s pretty f’ing cowardly.
