Hillary Clinton House Benghazi Hearing: October 22, 2015

[Lakhota]

Hillary about to leave for Capital Hill.

 

[Mac1958]

She'll take a hit here and there, the Democrats and the media will declare victory, and that will be it.

The GOP somehow still hasn't figured out that if you don't have someone nailed going in, you don't try something like this.

NYTimes: Captured Suspect Said Benghazi Attack was Revenge For Anti-Islam Video

So, one of the attackers admits the video incited him.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Why should Hillary be grilled about Benghazi when no one said anything about the 60 embassy/consulate personnel killed on President George W. Bush's watch? Why?

More subterfuge and obfuscation by tonto. No ambassadors were killed under bush.

Lol, and still blaming it on some grainy video. Unbelievable.

 

[depotoo]

First, how many US Ambassadors were killed?
Second, inflated numbers in your list.
Third, Those killed in an attack on the Israeli Embassy is not a killing at the US Embassy.
Fourth, would you like me to post a list of attacks since Obama has become President? Warning, your fallacious list will be put to shame.

The hearing begins...

 

[Lakhota]

Keep this in mind as they drill and grill Hillary: 60 embassy/consulate personnel were killed under Bush - and there were zero investigations. Not even any outrage from Republicans. Not a peep.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Keep this in mind, tonto is trying to walk his rain dance back on his obfuscation of embassy deaths under bush.

[Mac1958]

Whoa, Cummings ain't fooling around...

 

[Lakhota]

Prior to Benghazi, were there 13 attacks on embassies and 60 deaths under President George W. Bush?

Our ruling

Garamendi said that "during the George W. Bush period, there were 13 attacks on various embassies and consulates around the world. Sixty people died." There are actually different ways to count the number of attacks, especially when considering attacks on ambassadors and embassy personnel who were traveling to or from embassy property. Overall, we found Garamendi slightly understated the number of deadly attacks and total fatalities, even using a strict definition. Garamendi’s claim is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True.

More: Prior to Benghazi, were there 13 attacks on embassies and 60 deaths under President George W. Bush?

Yet there were zero investigations and zero outrage from Republicans. Why?

They didn't.

"On Sept. 12, 2012, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed when heavily-armed terrorists assaulted the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

Before that attack, no American ambassador had been killed in the line of duty since 1979, when Ambassador to Afghanistan Adolph Dubs was killed in a shootout after being abducted."
