When the system is broken there is only one way to fix it. I doubt anyone there has the resolve to do it. Lots of great talk about why they need guns but they will never use them, the nation has grown too big to take such remedies

[paraclete]

Seems there might be reason to drag up Benghazi again with plans being made to evacuate US embassy staff, nationals, etc. This is what you get when you over through an established government. Chaos, so lets see how many Senate inquiries can dine out on this one. Howls of why weren't we warned

Congressman Trey Gowdy questioning why the press isn't doing their job . Trey Gowdy Demands Answers On Benghazi - YouTube

REP. TREY GOWDY (R-SC): "We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act in Benghazi, and make no mistake, justice will be done." That was the president of the United States over a year ago.

"We're investigating exactly what happened, but my biggest priority now is bringing those folks to justice." That was the president of the United States over a year ago. No one has been arrested. No one has been prosecuted. No one has been brought to justice. We don't even have access to the witnesses.

You in the media were good enough for my 16 years as a prosecutor not to tell me how to do my job, and so far in Congress, y'all have been good enough not to tell me how to do my job. I'm not telling you how to do your job. But I'm going to ask you some questions, and if you can't answer these questions, then I'll leave you to draw whatever conclusion you want to draw about whether or not the media has provided sufficient oversight.

Can you tell me why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi the night that he was killed? Do you know? Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed? Do you know why requests for additional security were denied? Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before he was murdered and those requests went unheeded? Do you know the answer to why those requests went unheeded? Do you know why no assets were deployed during the siege? And I've heard the explanation -- which defies logic, frankly -- that we couldn't have gotten there in time, but you know, they didn't know when it was going to end. So how can you possibly cite that as an excuse? Do you know whether the president called any of our allies and said, "Can you help? We have men under attack." Can you answer that? Do any of you know why Susan Rice was picked? The secretary of state did not go. She says she doesn't like Sunday talk shows. That's the only media venue she does not like, if that's true. Why was Susan Rice on the five Sunday talk shows? Do you know the origin of this mythology that it was spawned as a spontaneous reaction to a video? Do you know where that started? Do you know how we got from no evidence of that to that being the official position of the administration?

In conclusion, Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight, and you are supposed to provide oversight. That's why you have special liberties, and that's why you have special protections. I am not surprised that the president of the United States called this a phony scandal. I'm not surprised Secretary Clinton asked, "What difference does it make?" I'm not even surprised that Jay Carney said Benghazi happened a long time ago. I'm just surprised at how many people bought it.

Nice spin to justify yet another right wing witch hunt, fueled by election year politics. Stay tuned to Fox News for Gowdys latest spin.

I guess you guys have to holler about something for November 2014. The clown circus continues..

[NeedKarma]

Anybody see the televised GOP state governor candidate debate in Idaho? LOL!

[talaniman]

Debate? I thought it was an SNL skit! Their best so far since Palin was running for VP! LMAO!!

We will be selling tickets to the public executions that will rightfully be taking place when Obama, Hillary and Holder can no longer trample over the legal system and withhold justice for each other. Murder has no statute of limitations... they will ALL be private citizens again soon... and not just one of them.

Have a world wide pay-per -view event...between the tree of them and we could pay back most of the debt Obama ran up.

So you publicly advocate the killing of these people? And you're a christian right?
This is another example of why religion is a problem with american society.

After the trial... We believe in the death penalty here in the USA for the truly Heinous crimes... and aiding the terrorists by coving it up... qualifies. This wasn't a parking violation.


We could settle for exactly the same treatment that John Christopher Stevens received while the White house sat and watched on video... and yes they did see the attack on realtime video. The autopsy proved what happened to him before and after he died. And why they quashed it early on but not before information got out. ALL embassies have live video from security cameras back to the USA.

Actually I think the Electric Chair or the Guillotine would be humain in comparison.

obviously you have no answers to the legitimate questions Gowdy raises.

[talaniman]

Yes I do, but why bother since it doesn't fit your conspiracy/corruption theory. Even after Iran/Contra, the left didn't hang Reagan when 300 marines were killed in Lebanon. I won't even go into the Bush years.

I seem to remember Regan wasn't found guilty on the IRan Contra thing... and I know you are old enough to have known that as well.

I also remember the Valerie Plaime withch hunt... where despite all the attempts of the Democrats... no crime was found to have been committed... and the only person that went to jail did so because he got his testimony crossed up... not because of anything to do with the actual faux crime. Since her husband is who actually outed her first.

SInce we had to listen to WATERGATE this, and WATERGATE that... for the last 40 years... WATERGATE was a joke compared to Benghazigate, and NIxon was an absolute SAINT compaired to Obama...

Nixon only threatened to use the IRS to get back... OBAMA actually did it... and that's SOmething else that needs prosecuted too, IRSgate... people need fire,and people need to go to jail for that... everyone that have anything to do in it.

[talaniman]

Yes I remember it well, before the right wing spin machine tried to revise history.

[smoothy]

That was back when there really were still some journalists... instead of propgandists in the media. Journalism as a trade died out a lot of years ago.

[NeedKarma]

WATERGATE was a joke compared to Benghazigate

And Benghazi is a joke compared to the number of contractors (287) killed in Iraq that no one seems to talk about.

They were doing their jobs in a war zone .

So you divert since you can't answer his questions. Reagan took responsibility for the Marine base bombing ;and changed his policy there as a result . He did not make a false narrative to explain the failure.

[NeedKarma]

So were the diplomats. Case closed.

[tomder55]

btw ; The Marines were there as part of a multinational peacekeeping mission supported by the UN . They weren't there as a secret mission to arm jihadists in Syria with weapons we gave to Libyan rebels.

[tomder55]

Stevens was not in Benghazi on 9-11-12 doing any 'diplomatic ' mission.
