The Emotional Plea is All Republicans have left with Benghazi

Well emotional pleas are part and parcel for the Democrats, so I guess turn about is fair play

That's only true if you aren't perpetrating a tu quoque fallacy. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The Emotional Plea is All Republicans have left with Benghazi

Well emotional pleas are part and parcel for the Democrats, so I guess turn about is fair play, in fact it's so rare that Democrat Apparatchiks don't rely on emotional pleas that it leads one to believe that they have become incapable of using reason and evidence.

To whit:
"Republicans are evil because they don't care about <fill in victim group here> enough to do <fill in whatever it is the Democrats want the Republicans to do>"

Ahh, the old "I'm doing it because you do it" excuse...My fav

Yes, except for the fact that I'm not doing it at all, just pointing out your hypocrisy.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure

The ARB, a pathetic excuse for a committee that consisted of State Department hand-picked members issued a final report that found 28 issues / deficiencies that needed to be corrected and identified 4 individuals who they found 'at fault' and who they recommended being punished...yet has not happened.

Then you have Liberal posters who ignorantly post / scream 'nothing was found'. Their own hand-picked Liberals found things...so these posters / Liberal nut jobs are calling their own hand-picked investigators liars.

Hillary was exposed as a liar as was her attempt to cover up the fact that Benghazi was a terrorist attack through the use of her own e-mails yesterday. She messaged her own family that it was a terrorist attack. She told the Turkish Prime Minister 'WE KNOW' it's a terrorist attack and even told him the specific faction the attackers belonged to. (It was no coincidence that the guy they finally arrested belonged to that faction.) She then, within a 48-hour period, told the American people it had been a protest over a video. She then went before Congress and told them she DIDN'T know if it had been a protest or a terrorist attack.

Since then the FBI, CIA, and even the Obama administration has admitted there was NEVER a 'protest' over a video. Video footage of the compound showed there was NEVER a protest. Still, Hillary doubled-down on her B$ 'protest' story during her testimony yesterday:

- "None of us can speak to the individual motivations of those terrorists who overran our compound and who attacked our CIA annex," she told the Benghazi Select Committee on Thursday. "There were probably a number of different motivations." So it's a little bit of this, and a little bit of that….."
** NO, we CAN speak to the issue that this was NEVER a protest over a video. The CIA has disproved it. The FBI has disproved it. The Obama administration has already admitted it was never about a video. Even NOW she can not admit that she LIED.

- “I believe to this day the video played a role."
** Then you need F*ing HELP!

The State Department Lead in Tripoli testified that he personally called Hillary to let her know the Benghazi compound was under ATTACK. The CIA told her within an hour of it starting that it was a terrorist attack. Review of the video footage showed there was NEVER any protest. Eye witnesses on the ground said there was NEVER any protest.

There had been 77 terrorist attacks - bombings, assassinations, and assassination attempts in Benghazi in 2012 up to that day on 9/11/12 to include 2 attacks on Stevens compound, the last attack being weeks earlier and leaving a 4-foot hole in the compound wall. As a result of these attacks EVERY other nation pulled their people out of Benghazi. The Red Cross and other agencies that usually go into war zones even pulled out.

'Ours was the last foreign flag flying in Benghazi, so a terrorist attack on the compound was just a matter of WHEN', said one military general whose troops were tasked with defending the embassy in Tripoli. The ONLY person who did NOT know this was coming was HILLARY because she was totally clueless about everything going on in Benghazi.

She was not aware of Stevens' reports of how approx. 1,000 Al Qaeida troops rallied in a square in Benghazi a month earlier, how a NEW Al Qaeida training camp had been opened blocks away from their compound, about how Stevens had initially requested his security detail NOT be reduced (which it was) and that his MANY requests for additional security had been repeatedly denied! She was not made aware that his compound had been attacked twice in the weeks before the final attack. She was not aware of the reports stating several of the Libyan guards that were supposed to be guarding Stevens were seen taking photos of the compound's security and the kerosene storage tanks (where the fires would be started in the attack). She was not made aware of how Stevens was having to scrounge up / acquire traffic barricades from the Britts who were bugging out to use at his compound because the State Department refused his request for equipment as simple as BARRICADES.

It was revealed that INSTEAD of talking to STEVENS - the Ambassador on the ground there in Benghazi about what was going on there, INSTEAD of talking to her mid-level supervisors and security people who were supposedly dealing with Stevens, the Secretary of State reached out to a NON-US Government CIVILIAN for her intel and guidance about what was going on in Benghazi.

Sydney Blumenthal - an ex journalist and ex-Clinton aide - was a NON-Government civilian being paid $10,000 A MONTH at the time for his 'service' with the 'Clinton Foundation and was getting HIS information from an Ex-CIA agent whose only connection to/in Benghazi/Libya was a personal business venture / interest there. Blumenthal himself, when asked, admitted he had never been to Libya, knew nothing about Libya/Benghazi, and could not verify the information he was being given and passing to Hillary was reliable / fact!

According to Hillary at one point it was Blumenthal's source, through Blumenthal, that 1st said Benghazi was the result of a protest over a video; however,35 percent of her non-shredded correspondence on Libya, according to congressional investigators – at least mentioned the true source, but did NOT mention a “spontaneous video protest” email.”


The simple fact alone that Hillary was not talking to or relying on Stevens, her own people, her own intel to base her policy and actions but was instead relying on a NON-Government highly-paid employee of the Clinton Foundation who admittedly knew nothing about Benghazi and was passing what turned out to be bogus intel from a source he could not verify as 'reliable' is heinous if not criminal and resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans. This fact ALONE is justification enough to NEVER entrust Hillary Clinton with any government job - not even as dog catcher - again!

OP thinks your just being emotional

Yeah thanks.... and let me know when your sense of humor gets back from the shop.

I guess it's true. From the Republican perspective, the only good Obama political appointee is a dead one.

Whether he was a good choice or a good ambassador is immaterial. The fact that we left him for dead is what matters.

???

He was dead within a few minutes. There is no rescue operation in the world which could have saved him in time.

Indeed, I'm sure you're a partisan hypocrite especially given that you seem to like to go out of your way to prove it.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

lol, weren't those all in the recommendations of any of the numerous Republican investigations?

Why should it take a Congressional investigation to hold people accountable for 4 dead American Heroes.

Wrong question.

Why are Congressional republicans going after those who are in no way accountable if not for purely partisan reasons.

I suppose his post was yet another "those responsible should fall on their swords"

And Truman resigned because his admin failed to anticipate Korea, Reagan resigned because he focked up Lebanon, and W called it a day when he failed to respond to 9-11 warnings.

The real question is what reforms were made, and the gop has no interest in that question.

State Department's Job to provide adequate security
Denied adequate security
Hillary admits to not signing waiver required by law allowing security for Stevens to fall below State Department minimum level
4 Dead Americans
No accountability
Hillary does not talk to Stevens to find out what is going on in Libya/Benghazi
Hillary ignores Mid-level Supervisors responsible for talking to Stevens
Hillary Ignored State Department and US Intel
Hillary listens / acts on false information she is getting from a civilian employee of Clinton Foundation making $10k a month, who is passing her info from a civilian source he can't verify is reliable and turns out not to be
No Accountability
Hillary tells family and Turkish Prime Minister it was a terrorist attack
Hillary tells Americans it was a protest
Hillary tells Committee she has no clue if it was protest or terrorist attack
No Accountability
Mother STILL being told they can't tell her anything other than what they initially told her - that her son died because of a protest - because she isn't an 'immediate family member
No Accountability

Liberal Mindset:
- Nothing to it, Nothing Found
- Hillary is a success, presidential material


Had this been Bush or ANY Republican the Democrats would have already had them in prison.

What matters is that most on the right continue to attempt to propagate ridiculous lies about 'Benghazi,' this post being one of countless examples.

But they should've done the impossible because thats reasonable. Why didnt they use a teleportation evacuation machine?

 

[g5000]

What was Stevens doing at a poorly outfitted outpost instead of in Tripoli where the much better protected embassy was?

There were protest riots all over the Middle East at that time.

 

[BlindBoo]

Sounds like the kind of partisan attack that Kevin McCarthy confessed the GOP loves.

- Armed Mexican Drug Cartels - 350+ include 1 US BPA & 1 US military member
- Armed Libyan Rebels (Al Qaeida)
- Helped Muslim Brotherhood take over the govt of our ally Egypt
- Took the nation to war to help Al Qaeida take over Libya; world less safe
- 4 Americans dead in Benghazi
- Armed Syrian Rebels who became ISIS
- Syrian Red Line disaster
- Broke promise to Ukraine to help defend it's borders
- Allowed ISIS to enter Iraq un-opposed, take over part of country US military liberated at great cost
- Refusal to defend Iraq/attack ISIS resulted in Iran being in Iraq now
- Failure in/with Syria allowed Russia and Iran t be in Syria now, allies
- Released Taliban 5; paid terrorists for a deserter - financing their terrorist operations by doing so

...and this is only part of his foreign policy 'legacy'.


It's not an 'attack'...it's historical FACT.

Not facts at al.

The President was not involved with the ATF operation.
Egyptians elected the MB but our support still went to the Military, who as it turn out had the power all along.
The outcome of Nato's war in Libya was really worse than it was before, but we only had a supporting role.
IS is made up of former Iraqi's Baathist who were drummed out of the service.
With US ships steaming toward Syria. Kerry threw them a line....
There is no mutual defense treaty with the Ukraine.
Iraq voted for us to leave their country and forced President Bush to sign the SOFA that ended our mission. They are the ones who couldn't defend it.

Like and share the link. Get people pissed & get them involved. Hillary Clinton Laughs about Benghazi Murders

She won't be laughing in hell.

The deaths of four men don't mean shit and never will.

She's one cold, uncaring POS.

If a cop lied to you about a loved one of yours dying. Would you support him the way you are supporting Hillary? Yes or no question.

They are just like Trey's committee- damn the evidence and full speed ahead w/ the conspiracy theories.

9 investigations and zilch. Countless millions in taxpayer money borrowed from the Chinese for this rw witch hunt/2016 campaign ads

 

[easyt65]

Why are Congressional republicans going after those who are in no way accountable if not for purely partisan reasons.

How the HELL is the Head of the State Department, whose job it is to protect US ambassadors, NOT accountable for the protection of those Ambassadors, for the performance of the employees under her leadership, especially those she has appointed and placed in extremely dangerous situations?

How is she in no accountable when she admitted she never talked to Stevens about what was going on in Benghazi/Libya, never asked the mid-level supervisors who were responsible for working with Stevens how it was going and what was going on in Benghazi/Libya, was obviously never briefed on the 77 7terrorist attacks / other nations pulling out and Stevens and the US being the last ones there / the attacks on his compound / his many requests for additional security?

How is it she never asked / listened to Stevens - who was there on the ground, US Intel, or US State Dept employees about what was going on in Libya/Benghazi but INSTEAD sought to get her 'intel' / information on which to act from a civilian ex-journalist, ex-Clinton aide who was working for the Clinton Foundation - making $10,000 a month, who was getting HIS bogus information from an Ex-CIA member whose only connection to Libya was a personal business interest there?!

How is she in no way accountable for lying (proven), telling different stories about the attack to her family, a Turkish PM, and the American people all within 24 - 48 hours?!

Her mid-level supervisors who work FOR her, according to her, KNEW of the 77 terrorist attacks in Benghazi that year, KNEW every other country and the Red Cross were pulling their people out of Benghazi, KNEW Stevens had requested they NOT cut the size of his security team down to below State Department minimum Standards - which they did any way, KNEW he had repeatedly requested additional security, KNEW there had been 2 attacks on his compound in the weeks prior to the final attack, KNEW of the threats regarding Middle East-wide attacks on US Embassies called for on 9/11/12, and KNEW from the mayor of Benghazi that an Al Qaeida leader had called for the assassination of Stevens in retaliation for an Al Qaeida leader from Benghazi having been killed in a drone strike a month earlier YET he never thought any of this was important enough to bring it to her attention / never briefed her on any of this...and you think she is in no way accountable for her employee's total and utter F* UP that resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans?

...wow

the arguments they continue to make does not relate to the arguments the investigation yesterday "TRIED" to make ..

4 people died? really? well that's brand new NEWS and Gowdy was all over it ....

Not.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Republicans in every thread are going "OMG You dont care about 4 dead people" "You are sick" "HILLARY IS A VICIOUS LIAR ARGGGG"

You'll notice a lot of that today. Its the same way a teenager acts when he doesnt want to do the yard work but realizes he cant move out so they slam their heads on the bed and scream "I hate you!" (white kids) They dont have anything of substance so they go to Republ-Accuse mode. "You're a disgrace!"

Oh you dont believe me? Then take a gander at this fact finding image:

This is all they have. They are using the dead as skin suites for them to advance their political bullshit because accomplishments are on the light side.

Well, not only emotions, see:

They don't even have that. Everyone knows they used four dead Americans for political purposes and badgered a hard working woman trying to ruin her credibility and all on the tax payer's dime. In fact, millions and millions of dimes.

They have exposed themselves for the kind of people they are to all of the world. And who they are is shameless.

 

[Anathema]

"Left him for dead"?

???

He was dead within a few minutes. There is no rescue operation in the world which could have saved him in time.

Left him for dead when we sent him to a terrorist shithole without proper security. Left him for dead when we didn't close the embassy or provide additional security when others left.
