Quote:Some folks died tragically and the right wants to go on a witch hunt for political reasons. It's pretty disgusting if you ask me.
Quote:Sorry, but all credibility of that committee ended when McCarthy bragged about the whole thing being a political ploy.
Quote:Sorry, but all credibility of that committee ended when McCarthy bragged about the whole thing being a political ploy.Let's be honest here. The current administration made this political regardless of any facts when they orchestrated the entire narrative that the attack was about a YouTube video. Let me also add that anyone that bought into that concept of an attack that occurred on Sept 11 as anything less than terrorism is an idiot and should not be allowed to vote. EVER!
Quote:"<i>...the Obama administration, the State Department, and Clinton herself all knew the assault was driven by al-Qaeda-linked terrorists — even while they all told the American people and the families of victims that a riot sparked by an anti-Islam YouTube video was responsible."</i>
Quote:What did we find out that was new?
Quote:Well, I watched hours of the latest hearings, and I must confess, I don't get it. The allegation seems to be that mistakes were made, someone got killed, and the administration tried to spin their way out of it. So what's unusual about that, except for the fact that this time, Hillary Clinton was involved?The rub for me is her initial attitude about people getting killed ("What does that matter" was her response IIRC) then the political circus that came out of it. They all could have all been honest, taken responsibility and let the chips fall where they may. But nooooo. God forbid anyone in Washington do that. And to blatantly lie, backtrack and otherwise make a bad thing so much worse. Especially for the families of the dead.
I kept waiting for some sort of smoking gun that justified all the hullabaloo, but it never came. All they succeeded in doing was to make her look presidential. I have never liked Hillary Clinton, but after watching these hearings, I actually started to warm up to her.
The Republicans asked their questions with such blatant contempt for the witness, I kept thinking, here it comes, they really have something now, but... waiting.... waiting... and? Nothing.
What did we find out that was new? That Sidney Blumenthal is a friend of hers and has her email address and sends her a lot of stuff. So what?

Quote:When the person in charge lied about it and holds a political position, any sort of criticism will be interpreted as being "political reasons.". Some "folks" died because she failed to do her job adequately and then lied to cover it up. She's running for President, and I assume you want us to ignore something that I feel disqualifies her?

Quote:
Wake up. People in high office make mistakes all the time that get people killed. And then they try to spin their way out of it to avoid political damage. It happens multiple times in every administration, Republican and Democrat.
Quote:I'm curious, how many times have you posted that line or something similar in defense of a Republican?
Quote:Sorry, but all credibility of that committee ended when McCarthy bragged about the whole thing being a political ploy.For those who have all of their news spoon fed to them by the alphabet networks, or other mainstream media resources, that's probably true. Sadly, a large portion of the country is completely oblivious to anything beyond what they're told by this conglomerate, so they'll be good little mind-numbed drones and believe it when they're told it's all just politics.
Quote:
The actual purpose of the investigations, rightly or not, is to get to the bottom of what was going on in Benghazi that cost us an ambassador and 3 other American lives. Why was the ambassador allowed to operate in Benghazi with little security, and what was he doing?
The answer to that question would be devastating to Clinton's political ambitions, and it would taint the already floundering legacy of her boss. They were running guns. Dealing weapons that they confiscated in Libya to ISIS and al Qaeda operatives in Syria who were rent-a-warriors fighting the Assad regime. We were financing and arming the very people who we are also killing in Iran and losing ground to in Iraq.

Certain alphabet networks had been speculating for months now that it was just a political ploy, and I didn't give them much credence until McCarthy came out and bragged about how his political ploy had hurt Hillary in the polls. That's the point at which I stopped caring.
In reality, I'm continually amazed at how some libs who I thought actually had some level of common sense want to bypass this issue completely. Not because of the political implications, but because it exposes a level of corruption and misdeeds that nobody in the mainstream media would dare touch on because the taint impacts not only Clinton, but their beloved manufactured messiah, Obama.

All of this was happening while our president was running for reelection on the mantra that GM was still alive, and bin Laden was dead. Al Qaeda was on the run, and he was the great warrior who had ended two wars. The reality didn't support that manufactured heroism, but nobody in the media was going to challenge anything he said. So, they're certainly not going to press the issue now as they do their best to prop up a horrible candidate in Clinton.
Sadly, the media will accomplish exactly what they intend to do, and we'll be strapped with another incompetent political shrew in Clinton for 4 years because at the end of the day, holding the office is far more important than finding the truth.
