May 11, 201313 yr I think the couple, few or several posters you are referring to are just choosing not to believe you guys. That would make none of us the problem and it also makes none of us part of the solution. Same old song and dance. Same old dog and pony show. Same old exercise in futility. Why would anyone be so partisan as to ignore facts? Sadly, they seem to follow the lead of the current administration. Have other administrations lied? Of course. We are talking about the current one in this situation, however.

We are talking about the current one in this situation, however. Everyone has their own version of 'facts'. Everyone always will. Regardless of the administration. 'Facts' will always be subjective. It's not about following the lead of the current administration. They messed up Benghazi badly but IMO it is more about their ineptness and learning from their mistakes. As I stated earlier, they spend all of this time and money trying to figure out who lied about what when they should be spending money on corrective action and ensuring the safety of ambassadors and American citizens abroad. I don't care who is caught lying. How we make sure this need happens again is my concern. I also don't believe that we'll ever truly know exactly what happened and how it went down.

Why spend more money if you don't know what went wrong to begin with? You would be a great mechanic. lol
May 11, 201313 yr I'm going to be blunt. A couple of posters have either ignored the hearing or don't have the intellectual capacity to understand them . We were lied to period. We still don't know how deep it runs. But at minimum we know we were lied to. If you refuse to admit the people you elected did wrong you are the problem.Even the folks at MSNBC have finally been shamed into admitting that the administration lied to them. It is getting really difficult for people on the left to find a news source willing to give Obama and Clinton a pass on the coverup that followed the Benghazi murders.

Before we dig deeper into Benghazi, Congress should do as Sen. Durbin suggests: Conduct full-scale hearings into the non-existent weapons of mass destruction that led us into a land war in Asia 10 years ago and cost thousands of American lives, not to mention the trillion-dollar price tag. Iraq or Benghazi? Which is the real whopper?

I don't care who is caught lying. How we make sure this need happens again is my concern. I also don't believe that we'll ever truly know exactly what happened and how it went down. A witness that was in country and saying it was a terrorist attack is a fact. It is a fact that someone in the White House ordered the talking points to be changed. Those aren't "versions" of facts, they are indeed facts. It is important to know who lied. They do not need to making any further decisions for anyone about anything. Yes, for the most part, the main stream media parrots this administrations lead. Finally, as I watched yesterday, the entire White House press corp is up in arms. Why? Because it has become crystal clear to them they have been lied to.

Iraq or Benghazi? Which is the real whopper? Bush hasn't been in office for 5 years. We can also discuss the screw ups of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton. How far do we need to go back? They have nothing to do with Benghazi.
May 11, 201313 yr Bush hasn't been in office for 5 years. We can also discuss the screw ups of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton. How far do we need to go back? They have nothing to do with Benghazi. U.S. soldiers are still in harm's way in Iraq, and we continue to spend obscene amounts of money on our "mission of liberty" there. So As long as Iraq is relevant, I say we subpoena Bush 43, Cheney and Powell and find out who knew what when regarding the phony WMDs and the neocons' obsession with upsetting the balance of power in the Mideast. As you say, it's important to know who lied. Iraq seems more important than an attack on a diplomatic office.

May 11, 201313 yr Classic diversion tactics when you don't want your guy looked at too closely. Benghazi? The war in Iraq? Hmmm. Which is more significant? While we're at it, let's investigate who ordered that "Mission Accomplished" banner on the aircraft carrier in '03. The banner also was one giant whopper.
May 11, 201313 yr Lets just investigate the words that used over and over and over again that night - "Stand down".
May 11, 201313 yr Why spend more money if you don't know what went wrong to begin with? You would be a great mechanic. lol Thank you. I take pride in my work.
May 11, 201313 yr Okay. So they lied. Now what? Inhofe and Huckabee think the answer to your question is to impeach the president. And now I read today that the GOP intends to keep this topic front and center before the American people well into 2014. Could be a big mistake to do so. We'll see.
May 11, 201313 yr Is this an impeachable offense? I'm thinking no but of course I'll be accused of having blinders on.
