The Real Benghazi Scandal Explained

[SassyIrishLass]

Really? When did I reach into the 60's to bask W or any republican? I did say that Hillary was using Nixon's playbook to re-brand herself. But to reach back that far to make a useless partisan point is just silly.

Hands you three katyushas

The real scandal is Right wingers using four deaths for political purposes after sending tens of thousands of young American off to either die or get maimed for the failure that followed. Those four that died in Benghazi are probably turning over in their graves at how Republicans have used them.

You bawl about using American deaths as "political purposes" and then bawl about "tens of thousands" deaths. Dumb ass

5,000 US troops died in Iraq war under President Bush. But cons couldn't give a shit about that. The only time cons became concerned about American deaths was when we had a black president with a black attorney general and a black US ambassador to UN who said something on TV. Cons were so hurt, they still can't stop crying about it and won't stop until a white man is in the office. Then all the bitching will end.

50,000 soldiers died under LBJ's jungle adventure. Of course that doesn't bother you. Idiot.

Good Grief....reaching back to LBJ to justify the incompetence of W. That has GOT to be a new low for you RW Loons....

LOL says the 2 year old who justifies whatever Obama does by saying Bush did it first.

Being critical of Obama does not equate to defending Bush.

Why do you continue to demand bringing up what most on the left consider the WORST president in history as a comparison to Obama who the left like to say is one of the best ever?

Because that recovering alcoholic caused me to work o beyond my planned retirement. He screwed us all and then left for texas.....

The worst of it is that the economic and foreign policy advisers the Republican candidates will appoint if elected, are the same clowns who advised Bush. They the senior party people with "experience".

Jeb Bush's foreign policy guys worked for his brother. Who wants to put those asshats back into positions of power after the mess they made of things last time?

Bush lied about the TP supplies! Obama had faulty TP Intel. If Bush didn't use all the TP during the Iraq meetings, Obama would still have a supply.

Here's the real Benghazi scandal. 32,000 American die from gun violence each year. And cons don't give a fuck about those deaths from gun violence. 4 Americans die from Benghazi terror attacks in September 2012. And suddenly cons can't seem to get their bleeding hearts under control.

Basically.

5,000 US troops died in Iraq war under President Bush. But cons couldn't give a shit about that. The only time cons became concerned about American deaths was when we had a black president with a black attorney general and a black US ambassador to UN who said something on TV.

The Real Benghazi Scandal Explained

Here's the real scandal. This is the real Benghazi scandal.

What happened after the attacks, and who lied to whom and how, is less important than why security there was left to deteriorate for months, even while attacks were going on, bombs were blowing 12-foot holes in the consulate walls, and Amb. Stevens was pleading for months for more security.

That summer, Obama was crowing over "Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive!". He was desperately trying to fool American voters into thinking he had defeated Al Qaeda and they were "on the run". And the increasing attacks by Al Qaeda were not fitting into the glossy image he was trying to project.

Sending MORE security into areas like Benghazi, Cairo etc. would have done even more harm to his story... so he simply didn't do it. Instead he reduced security, pulled out American agents, and in some cases substituted Libyan personnel for the American security troops. He was hoping this would look good to American voters who weren't paying much attention.

By the first week in September 2012, there were exactly three American security personnel at the consulate in Benghazi. The gate guards and patrols had been replaced by Libyans... and they were unarmed, with nothing but whistles and batons.

Obama hopes fervently that people will keep complaining about Susan Rice and lies about a video afterward... because then they aren't complaining about what killed Amb. Stevens and three other Americans: Months of fatal, flagrant neglect of consulate security for the purpose of gaining votes.

Not. One. Link.

Noted.

So, you don’t care when your government openly lies to you and the American public? I find that EXTREMELY bad.

What's extremely bad is not being concerned about how Bush lied us into Iraq. Benghazi was at most an error in attribution. It didn't lead to thousands of deaths. I think it's EXTREMELY hypocritical when people get up in arms about this but give Bush a pass. It just confirms my feeling that it's all about scoring political points and hatred of Obama/Clinton, NOT concern about truthfulness in government.

That's exactly what it is. A political witch-hunt. Partisan politics at its absolute worst. Utterly despicable.
