False Benghazi outrage?

Okay, so the president said that the terrorists were sparked by a video.

How does that make any difference? Why does that upset you so much? Why does it matter if the terrorists were sparked by a video or not? Did more people die because the president said the terrorist attack was sparked by a video? Was the reaction to the event any better or worse whether terrorists were inspired to act by a video or if they were inspired to act for some other crazy terrorist reason?

I just don't get the controversy.

There in lies the problem with the American people my friend.

Lies are only important when the other side tells them.

Why? Because politics are more important than substance to partisans. One side no different than the other .. but both sides believe they are.

Truth is that neither side is smart enough to realize that they're being played like puppets .. EASILY .. played like fools.

Both sides .. played like fools.

Both parties .. owned lock, stock, and barrel by the same corptocracy. Both parties.

Nobody smart enough to know that the enemy is not democrats .. it ain't republicans.

Corporations own your government, and unfettered capitalism is the party they belong to. That's your enemy.

BOTH SIDES .. played like fools.
 
The Republicans' "outrage" is bulls**t. They simply want another "scandal" to take over the rest of Obama's administration. They are far more interested in what happened afterwards, looking for a Watergate that didn't happen, rather than what happened to lead up to the attack on the Lybia mission. That's what's so telling about this. They are not looking to fix a possible systematic problem, but just keep the endless right wing outrage machine screaming.

That said, I am not too thrilled with how Obama and Hillary have managed this situation.

Clearly calls for more security on the ground in Benghazi either didn't get to the right people, or did and those individuals made the wrong call not to properly back up that US mission. It's not about malice, but likely just good ol' fashioned bureaucracy, too many cooks in the kitchen, information overload, etc. The larger an organization the more likely this stuff can happen. Sadly, this ended in a horrible tragedy that might very well have been avoidable.

Neither Obama or Hillary seem to really have stood up and said, "I F'd up! I will figure out where the breakdown occurred, why it occurred, if it was a fluke or a systematic failure, and make changes where necessary." I thought Hillary's responses to Congress were whiny, defensive and pathetic. She actually said something to the affect of "That's water under the bridge. Let's move on!" Well no sh*t lady! The idea of the hearings were to figure out what went wrong.

And I don't think Obama has shown enough seriousness about it at all, and instead is relishing the GOP's shooting of themselves in the foot as they search for malice which doesn't exist. HE should be demanding answers as much as Rush Limpoff.

No idiot....it wasn't a lie for anyone. Not all those Democrats that said it many times over a period of 10 years, including Bill Clinton, and not Bush when he said it
before the vote on the War Resolution.....being wrong is not lying unless you KNOW you're wrong...YOU personally, not someone else.
If you think you are right when you make a claim and you're not right......you're just not right, you're incorrect, you're not accurate, you made a mistake....but
in not way did you lie.....lying is a conscious attempt to deceive......

Its only a three letter word, in any dictionary, ridiculous it has to be explained over and over to you.


Obama knew he was lying. Obama was informed by the CIA and the people on the ground in Lybia, a week before his appearance on Letterman
that the video had nothing to do with the terrorist attack....then he sent Rice out to appear on several tv shows to repeat that lie.....
There is no doubt, Obama is a liar.

Well, of course!

It's not like they worry about running the country and making budgets and all that stuff!
 
If it were a lie, it would only really matter to me if it carried any significance. Like if the lie was used say to trump up support for a war that would kill hundreds of thousands.

So Obama lying about no support being able to be sent to Lybia and since that inaction resulted in American's dying, doesn't matter to you.
 
Pinheads are accustomed to supporting liars and voting them into office as their presidents.....

So now you concede it was a lie, but it just doesn't matter to you?

So if it was no big deal, why did the administration lie?
