Benghazi Hearing

[sonofdaxjones]

When you're running arms from the Libyan army weapons caches and likely helping AQ leaning "Freedom Fighters" (of which numerous have come out of the Benghazi area in the last 7 to 9 years) get to Syria, you have to treat the death of an Ambassador as colateral damage.

That's not very catchy. "Hillary lied, people died" is better.

Yeah, it's just lazy that you can't rhyme Benghazi with something.

True, fugazi is an easy and appropriate one.

So, once again, the entire initial narrative from the administration about what actually happened and why.   Has been wholly and completely discredited.

The entire area was a hot bed of CIA arms smuggling and CIA "Freedom Fighter" recruitment.

Had this taken place under a Republican administration they would have been excoriated and likely impeached by a Democratically controlled Congress.

But the new paradigm is, the CIA is "Cool" . . . until a Republican is elected to the Oval Office.

None of this matters or counts because Obammer didn't know about it.  Benghazi  wasn't aware of it, disaster of a healthcare.gov  He doesn't need it so why would he test it, illegally spying on not just American doodz  no idea, wasn't me???

I'm starting to think being president is different than I thought it was.  I guess, I thought you did and knew about really important things, but apparently not.

Why is anyone the least bit surprised?  This is what happens when you overthrow relatively stable governments in the region.

The question is, why?

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

Sad but true. The only thing that has kept the entire middle east under control is heavy handed dictators. The whole area is going to blow up at some point. In hindsight, Saddam should have been left alone.

It's like the Prez doesn't really do a damn thing, ya know?

I mean he either does know about all this stuff and is just lying to us (likely) or is just a worthless figure head puppet guy (plausible).

Both of those excuses/reasons are terrible and hilarious.

I'll regret this, but ... wut?

Oh hey guys, that guy may have lied, so that makes everything okay now.  The CIA "Freedoom Fighter" recruitment, the running of Libyan weapons to Syria, the dead ambassador and other dead Americans.  It's all okay now because some British dude may have lied.

And now the emails finally surface proving that the White House was directly involved in pushing the bullshit talking point (which they knew at the time to be bullshit) about this being a spontaneous riot in response to an internet video. The White House was afraid that, otherwise, this would negatively reflect on its "foreign policy."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/emails-illustrate-how-white-house-shaped-benghazi-talking-points/

Obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, an email from then-White House Deputy Strategic Communications Adviser Ben Rhodes (the brother of CBS News president David Rhodes) listed several goals for then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice as she prepared to go on political talk shows just a few days after the Sept. 11, 2012 attack.

Rhodes wrote that one "goal" for Rice was "To underscore that these protests are rooted in and Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy." Another stated "goal" was to "reinforce the President and Administration's strength."

This is what it looks like when the media does it's job (even though it fell to a conservative watchdog group to actually request the email). http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/04/30/jon_karl_challenges_jay_carney_over_new_benghazi_email.html

I remember Jake Tapper of ABC doing that to the first press secretary, the bird looking guy. He ended up at CNN shortly thereafter. Jon Karl will probably be out within a few weeks.

do you guys think obama should have gulf on tonkin'd this thing and started a war?

[michigancat]

is the media's job to ask the same question over and over for 8 minutes? If so, well done.
