Remember How Important And Valuable American Lives Were During the Benghazi Hoax?

[Ray From Cleveland]

Four deaths in Benghazi - in which one of the victim's own family says is more about lack of funding for foreign embassies and diplomatic stations than anything -

Then I would say they are extremely uninformed.

The connection Farrow's drawing is clear enough: Congressional budget cuts, made by Democrats and Republicans, contributed to the security failures at the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi. But as we'll show you, security funding has been increased in recent years and State Department officials say budget requests did not factor into the violent attack on Sept. 11, 2012. (Some of this ground was covered by the Washington Post Fact-Checker.)

[Ray From Cleveland]

Republicans, self-proclaimed Conservatives and other assorted rightwingers nationwide and here on USMB were besides themselves, daily lamenting the loss of "those 4 precious American souls" and how it was such a travesty and disaster that they died, overseas mind you, on enemy territory, by enemy warfare, but they managed to spin it into this Trumped up scandal that deserved impeachment and investigation after investigation.

At no point did they stop, ever, to say, "hey, this was a mistake, let's not make this partisan", NOPE, they RAMPED up the partisanship, first they tried to pin it on Obama, for two years straight, they hammered him w/"Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" and "American lives, American lives, American lives!" It didn't work though, because Obama trounced their asses handily under that barrage of attacks against him.

And did they stop their political nonsense then? NOPE, they spun on a dime and IMMEDIATELY started attacking Hillary. How "she slept on the job." and how "she wanted them to die" and yada, yada, yada. No cry for temperance was heard or heeded, much less cries to cease this road they were on. They pressed on and on and eventually, through that hoax and other things, managed to take down Hillary, which was their ultimate goal. Then they became silent. They had their prize, no more Benghazi nonsense.

But look at them now. THOUSANDS of Americans are dying, due to TRUE incompetence, recklessness and fecklessness, and these very same Republicans are DEFENDING it.

The SAME ones who said that we need to move heaven and earth, to avenge the loss of 4. American. Lives.

Wha' happened?

Republican voters lack any basic critical thinking skills and a sense of objectivity. They are driven by pure emotion. They are, frankly, an international embarrassment.

Poor, Billy! Still haven't gotten over the election? The "embarrassment" was the candidate that you Progressives ran, Billy! Hillary Clinton was such a flawed candidate that she couldn't win despite the main stream media being totally in her pocket and her campaign paying to have her opponent smeared. That's on YOU GUYS! The people that voted for Trump did so because he was by far the better choice of the two.

You know that Clinton got millions more votes than Trump, right? I mean popular votes or 'people' votes.

Which as you already know is meaningless. Thats's about the amount of people that voted for Hillary over Trump in California, which is always suspect of having illegals vote there.

Very true. Bush decides to take us to war over weapons that didn't exist, resulting in about 5000 American deaths, tens of thousands of casualties, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties, gave birth to ISIS, cost us trillions, dozens of attacks on U.S. embassies result in over 60 deaths, several being American -- the right defends him.

4 Americans die in a single embassy attack under Obama, 8 investigations by Republicans spanning about 4 years and they still complain about it to this day.

 

[Oldestyle]

Oh bullshit! No foreshadowing? Other Western nations with diplomats in Libya were pulling them out because it had become so unstable! The British Ambassador's motorcade was attacked with an RPG that week! The outer wall of the US Embassy was shattered with an IED shortly before the attack in Benghazi! Even the Red Cross was pulling it's people out because of the dangerous situation but the Clinton State Department ignored repeated requests from Ambassador Stevens to not draw down his security detail. Why did they do so? Because they didn't like the "optics" of having to have a large security force guarding our Ambassador because it sent a message to the Libyans that we didn't trust them! Gee, do you think Hillary would have ever gotten her fat ass off a plane in that country without security? Yeah, right...

Bullshit yourself. If it was that bad then Stevens should not have gone. In fact, he got told many times not to go. Anyway, as I said, if the right made just as big a song and dance about the thousands killed in Bush's two wars of choice, then let's talk. Four deaths in Benghazi - in which one of the victim's own family says is more about lack of funding for foreign embassies and diplomatic stations than anything - is nothing compared to a deliberate war over oil and a butt hurt president. Get back to me when the indictments against Hillary are out...

Are you still trying to push that narrative that the four died in Benghazi because of a lack of funding? How pathetic are you? Did you NOT get the memo that trial balloon went down in flames almost as soon as the Clinton Camp trotted it out? The woman that was in charge of embassy security for the Middle East testified under oath that the decision to draw down Steven's security detail was NOT due to budget constraints! Would you like me to quote her testimony?

I'll NEVER complain about the investigations into Benghazi, Faun! They were what uncovered Hillary's email scandal...which ultimately cost her the election when she was revealed for the dishonest, corrupt person that she's always been! LOL

Lives are always lost in war. We expect it. But you can't compare lives lost in war, with people who are trained, armed, and have protection, to a couple of guys who had zero protection or help from your Muslim lawn jockey.

They had the money for more security, that the state department, run by Hillary, didn't provide. They had advanced warning that things were getting precarious over there. They didn't pull the Ambassador.

The family said? Really, that's the best you've got?

What did the family of Mary Jo Kopechne say after their daughter was murdered?

Prior to the Monica Lewinski scandal, what had been said by all of Bill's victims?

As for indictments of Hillary and the Cabal, why do you think Democrats are in such a desperate panic to get President Trump out of office?

When YOU give a s*** about the thousands of lives lost due to radical Islamic Terrorist attacks around the world, then you may continue your whining.

During the reign of failed former President Barack Hussein Obama, we had 2,499 fatalities in Iran and Afghanistan.

I'm quoting Anne Stevens, the ambassador's sister. There has been several investigations. Hillary has admitted her part in it and the outcome was terrible. Stevens was also told, on several occasions, not to go, but he went anyway.

That aside, when you give a shit about 6000 US soldiers dying in Bush's two wars of choice, let's have a conversation about four people dying in Benghazi.

Total utter crap. She is a politician and no more dishonest or corrupt than any others. Trump is on a whole new level. At least she has accomplishments by her side. He has nothing but daddy's money and six bankruptcies.

That's not my point. It was a war over nothing based on lies. THAT is my point.

Stevens was told not to go and he went anyway. What was Hillary supposed to do, go over and hold his hand.

The fact you think four lives are more important than 6000 speaks volumes of your pathetic partisan hackery.

Er, so now his family don't matter? ok..
Monica? ha! Poor old Monica. She was forced to blow the president. Nothing to do with her wanting to be on the arm of one of the most powerful people in the world, right?
At worst Chappaquiddick was manslaughter. You need to look up the definition of murder.
Hillary??? HA! HA! HA! Investigation after investigation...NOTHING...nada, nought, zip, zilch...
Best president you never had. Instead you get a spoiled wiener brat who acts like a bully in elementary school making the US - yet agiain during this pandemic - the laughing stock of the world. What's it like not only being the laughing stock of the world, but actually being a supporter of the Piece of Shit responsible for the moniker?

So Anne Stevens knows more about State Department security budgets than the woman that was in charge of that for the entire Middle East? That's your story, Doc?

What was the Secretary of State supposed to do? How about take care of the people in her charge? How about putting the lives of her diplomats above "optics" and politics?

What Clinton SHOULD have done is either give Stevens what he requested for security...or pull those State Department people out of Libya to keep them safe like other Western nations were doing!

She has accomplishments by her side? Oh, you mean riding her very charismatic husband's coattails for decades? You mean enabling his sexual harassment of other women all that time?

Not for nothing, Doc but saying that Hillary Clinton is no more dishonest or corrupt than any other politicians is like saying Harvey Weinstein was no more sleazy than any other Hollywood producer!
