Benghazi Hearings (Page 3)

Good thing they caught it.  People would've missed stuff like this:

I'd say it was a cluster mess of communication between the CIA, State Department, and Department of Defense. If she withheld information, I cannot imagine it would amount to an "ending of a political career". Otherwise, I'm guessing there would not be a elected official left in office. 

Are we still talking about Libya or the Iraqi Invasion?? 

Yes-it really is ALL Bad.

And sadly, I don't know where to look for information anymore, except looking EVERYWHERE for information. 

Foreign policy takes place in the shadows; always has-always will.  You, me and many others have all worn the uniform and we ALWAYS knew that we didn't really know ALL there was to know.  Yet we still served with unwavering conviction.   Us common folk will never, EVER know all the details.   Why is that so hard for us to comprehend?

I've said a few times in the past, but it bears repeating here. Hillary will not win the nomination in 2016 regardless of what happens because she's too darn old. She'll be the same age as McCain when he was running and she made nasty comments about him being "too old" at the time.  I don't think this has a thing to do with Hillary 2016. 

For some this is political, for me it's about learning that we don't hang our people out to dry like this.  I seriously think Benghazi and the attention being given to it now is what's keeping the administration from putting people in the Syria mess. 

Bush didn't lie to get elected.  He believed what he wanted to believe and painted the picture the way he wanted it to be to justify toppling a dictator.  

Obama did the same selective believing of someone's brilliant thought that this was about a youtube video in order to get elected.  

They're either both nasty or both innocent.  

Reagan was 69 when elected. it's not about age. It's about charisma. McCain had none. Hillary is a favorite. But I do agree. I don't think she can win. I think it's an attempt to smudge the dems. I really think we are not in the Syria mess because it does not benefit us to be there. And we have an administration that doesn't have the "go in with guns blazing" attitude. 

Wow!  I think the point of my quote was just made irrelevant.

Look, the current POTUS is a Democrat, golfer, basketball player, part-time smoker, African American, Chicagoan with a foreign sounding name.  These are truths and they are undeniable.  Obviously, one (or more) of these facts disagree with people.   Chose what's relevant or irrelevant.  Good Luck!

The only charisma she's ever had was borrowed from Bill, so she's really not going to do well...

But she was nasty with McCain, 72, lots of charisma, when she is gonna be 69 with no charisma.

Pfft, gag, cough!!....You owe me a new keyboard cuz I just spit water all over this one.  We ARE talking about John "Arm ALL the Rebels, everywhere, all the time" McCain, right?  THAT, sir.  Is a completely different thread. 

Now how about a Mark Sanford thread.  THAT'S the kind of charisma and high moral character we need representing the people.

I actually think PBS does a good job.

I mean look, if I take them at their word, Frontline seems to put out some really good stuff. Lot's of info and back up, and they "SEEM" to be unbiased. If you take it at face value.

Any other "news source" is just blatantly obvious in their bias, sensationalism, and spin. I mean like... you know I'm standing right in front of you right.... sort of blatant. And it's EVERYWHERE in EVERYTHING. You have to really work at getting any info out.

I mean seriously... where was the "Press" when we went to war with a country that was of no threat to us? Where were they with the Patriot Act. They finally came around, then they jumped in Obama's lap. I mean seriously... that's fine if you like him, but Presidential material he was not... but the press anointed him the second coming. The housing bubble, Wall Street, Bengazi, Sandy Hook... you name it... where the heck is the "PRESS"? Nowhere. They are busy reporting on F'n social media and who tweeted what. Wow... I need to count to ten....

I have never watched a Micheal Moore "documentary". I finally watched "Fahrenheit 9/11". That's what the news is today... nothing but garbage entertainment with a few kernels of truth thrown in. Frontline is how everything should be, even if they had their own slant.

McCain can speak without a written speech in front of him, Hillary cannot.  I do not agree with his politics, but he can speak to a group and isn't afraid to confront an angry mob.  I've seen it in person and I've met him in person.  Yep, charisma.

I have never met Hillary, but I notice you weren't defending her so I take that to mean you agree that she is lacking in charisma.

I never brought-up Mark Sanford.  You did.  If you're trying to compare Mark Sanford to Bill Clinton. I say ok, I agree with you.  They're both scum, but they both clearly have charisma.

I find the tactic interesting that when someone disagrees with something a republican says, they bring-up some other issue in the GOP that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. 

Why is that?

For the record, Benghazi has nothing to do with the Charisma of our leaders.  It had to do with the lack of Courage from our elected leaders.  You most certainly can't claim McCain lacks courage if you have read his bio.

"I find the tactic interesting that when someone disagrees with something a republican says, they bring-up some other issue in the GOP that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Of course, that is only something Democrats do..... Please!

Go back in this deck and show me where one of the conservative types has done that.  There are 4 pages of it.  

I am throwing down the challenge because I notice it on just about every thread from Liberals. 

I have seen it now a half-dozen times today all from Democrats.  

"Oh yeah, well Bush...".

Good point.  

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this may be what happens when you basically ask someone to investigate themselves.

KateTri1, I do not work for Fox News but thanks for the compliment.

Sadly, Clinton herself could have been part of the riots that killed these Americans and a good percentage of the population would still vote for her.

Two words: Ted Kennedy. 

The American people will forgive anything.  Especially when they are stupid enough to not know anything about the person they are voting for.  (is there a D or R after their name...)

You can now add Sanford to the list.

You made a blanket statement then challenge me to find it on one of the 4 pages on this thread..... Then you say you notice it on every thread from "liberals".  

Again, I stand by my statement.....
