McCain Skipped A Briefing On Benghazi To Hold A Press Conference (on Benghazi)

[Grape Ape]

what were the results of the investigations into each of those investigations?  I surely hope there were huge congressional investigations like we're having here.

Were there reports surrounding those about the WH denying support or mis-representing the cause in the press?

[James]

Is this true?

In those other attacks (Besides Benghazi)


How many Americans were killed in the other attacks?    ZERO !

How many request were made by the Ambassador for extra security prior to those other attacks, yet were denied?  ZERO !

How many of the other attacks were immediately falsely blamed on a youtube video even though we now know that our Government knew from day one that it was an al qaeda terrorist act?  ZERO !

so we spent hundred million bucks on a BJ investigation on clinton, yet we only spent $13 mil on the 911 investigation, and didn't bother on these other embassy attacks?

sad.

See a pattern here friend?

i think we need a FULL investigation into the benghazi thing...   according to fox news, the embassy was being used to illegally hold/torture prisoners.  I get that.  

And obama didn't want an incident due to him sending in helicopters to shoot up the bad guys trying to rescue whoever was in there.

So he didn't send in help, weeks before an election.  He wanted that election win, he thought a small attack was better for him than "US choppers mow down 200 militants at secret illegal prison".

He's not running for office anymore.  let the investigation happen, and yeah, some stuff liek this might come out, so be it.

oh im' not defending obama - i've said from minute 1 that Obama preferred a small attack with only 2 deaths and zero coverage (had those 2 not showed up to help and disobeyeed orders, they would have been over-run very quickly).

it was pure and simple, letting americans die to win an election.  I don't think anyone here is denying that. 

i didn't know about all the other stuff til FOX news broke it.  Sure, that stuff will embarass white house, state dept, but who cares at this point.  This kinda crap can't go on.  An investigation means the next president or next incident doesn't happen like htis.

4 Americans Dead, the Ambassador begged and pleaded for extra Security and was denied, and now cover up, and telling outright lies from day one..... even you should see the difference in this attack from the others listed.

Are you talking the Iraq war?

You are right except the number of death was/is much higher

Oh yeah - I think sitting on his hands watching the attack in real time alone - and failing to send in help - that alone is an impeachable offense.

I think mccain is right here, but I think it should be others in the party leading the charge.  Rubio, Rand, Ryan and others should be holding joint press conferences on a daily basis about this.

This Administration knew from day one it was not related to a youtube video, but was in fact an al qaeda terrorist act.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/16/petraeus-to-testify-knew-libya-was-terrorism-from-start-source-says/


The CIA determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that "Al Qaeda involvement" was suspected -- but the line was taken out in the final version, and was instead blamed on a YouTube video,  even Obama blamed it on the video at his U.N speech a few weeks later.

i agree with everything you said... it's disgusting obama put politics ahead.  Any other person would have sent in the choppers.  Obama was preserving a narrow lead in polls and feared backlash about what was really going on there.  beck talked about it a ton, the shady shit going on there, obama was scared it would hurt him in polls.

I don't know why 'impeachment' isn't the first word used by every repub in every interview.

[chadstallion]

Show me one post EVER supporting W.   One.  I have been asking the libs on this board for years now to bump even one post in my nearly 100k defending W.

I couldn't agree more.  Goes to show how much disdain Republicans have for the political system and the average voter, the hallmark of all elitists.  Republicans know they've lost the war of ideas so the only thing they can do is change the rules of the game.  They are going to gerrymander the hell out districts in order to keep the House and gain seats in the Senate.

And it will crush them in 2014 and result in an even greater rebuke in 2016, ...if you make it that far.

Mccain had to train legs that day.  Sitting at a 2 hour intelligence briefing would make it very difficult for drop set squats later that afternoon.
