Benghazi...oh you knew it was coming

[El Kabong]

What did the Obama administration do or not do that's getting you so exercised?

They left Americans under attack there to be killed. They lied about who did the attacking, why the attacking happened, they left Amb. Stevens vulnerable knowing full well it wasn't safe to be there. They drew down his security detail. They kept the armed forces from retaliating or saving lives.

This is bigger than Watergate, people died, moves weren't made that could have been made and as a citizen I want to know why.

Sure attacks happen from time to time, usually bombs with nothing else after them, but this was a terrorist military style attack which could have been stopped. Fly a C-130 over or a F-117 and people would scatter, that's all it would have taken, forces were in the area ready to go and were told not to....why?

It has all the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory.

The media is STILL refusing to cover it instead running with stories about the 3 women kept as sex slaves in that house in Cleveland and the Jodi Arias trial

There are serious allegations here, impeachable offenses!!! Obama was no where to be seen for HOURS that is unheard of for an American President in this day and time!

Anyone remember this little doozy

[El Kabong]

Yup.....there you have it....."leader"

[Beanz]

Lyle you are starting to sound like a right wing Brockton. You want Obama to appear weak and you want to believe that the press is some left wing liberal puppet that covers everything up. Do you really believe that Obama's predecessor Bush JR being told by the CIA that Al Qaeda were preparing an attack prior to 9/11 and then him responding "you've covered your ass now" before resuming his holiday is any different ? Mcain himself is not in the slightest bit interested in security issues or what actually went on he just wants to pick up an old stick and beat Obama with it. It smacks of desperation. Bigger than Watergate? Purlease.

[El Kabong]

Are you mental? Body count of Watergate = 0, Benghazi = 4. Lying, coverups, overall incompetence. Also this happened during a Presidential race....I don't care so much about that but the truth about Benghazi needs to come out.

Body Count ? that is not an intellectually sound way of comparing two very different issues.

Bush was negligent repeatedly on a massive scale. People drowned in his own country, as he nonchalantly flew over their heads, he rigged the vote that saw him elected, he lead countless Americans to their deaths, but of course that is not relevant. To the rest of the world this smells like a witch hunt. Obama takes out Bin Laden and the Republicans get butt hurt because it does not feed into their idea that he is a pansy. There were protests all over the middle east at the time of the Bhenghazi incident, due to many reasons and the rest of the world saw them. Dieing from smoke inhalation results in the same thing as being shot or blown up. The idea that Obama is personally responsible for the safety of every American on foreign soil or that he would stand to gain something by allowing them to die sounds like a desperate attempt to smear his name, orchestrated by dumb men like McCain who turned down opportunities to attend briefings on the actual events in Libya in order to start media campaigns attacking Obama. The rhetoric being employed by Republicans totally undermines everything they say. Sour grapes from big babies who care about nothing but power and not one jot about America.

I don't really understand the use of moral relativism to absolve the President. Whether Bush did the right things or not is irrelevant to what the current President did or didn't know and when he reacted. While some of this is obviously partisan it is also clear that an epic failure in leadership happened that resulted in American's dying and that the administration did not want to be 100% forthright with an election at hand. If nothing else the President should have openly admitted that gross negligence led to a loss of life and people were being fired for it.

The administration is lying their ass off. It's looking as if Clinton (Hillary) either dropped the ball intentionally, or she just was out of her league and was consumed with other matters- like watching Billy-boy and his philandering.


p.s.
Her accepting an award from Henry Kissinger two weeks after she left office didn't bode well for her either.

You need to ask the people in charge of the forces. That's the actual military commanders. It's nothing to do with the Obama administration. There is absolutely zero evidence that you can show that says Obama personally prevented help from getting there. This is just another load of nonsense. This is probably the fourth or fifth "bigger than Watergate" event of the Obama administration and it's as bullshit as the rest of them were.

@VictorCharlie, your thoughts? I mean I'd explain BUT nothing I say is ever taken seriously

You need to try and write something sensible then people willhave no excuse not to take you seriously.
