If there is nothing else that results from the so-called investigations, and I have my doubts, the least should be a denouncement of the absolutely heartless, thoughtless, incosiderate and otherwise simply stupid decision to go to LV to raise money. I don't care if the Creep-in-Chief new about the lives lost or not. He had to at least have known about the attacks by then, no? Actually, I do think that has already been established and acknowledged.
Gee, Max, can you explain to me how you utilized what has to be convoluted logic to arrive at the conclusion that I am glad some whacko ran over her husband. How can you joke about something like that?
I refuse to stoop to your level and address you with a reference to a body part. At least that body part performs a necessary and useful function, and I do not want to demean it.
Sigh, how bout coming down from your high horse and just call me an ass or a prick and get it over with? You answer me but refuse to stoop to my level but go out of your way to let me an everyone else know you are taking the high road. Just a touch of condescension there, no?
I'll reiterate a previous point, I think this obsession with Benghazi is self serving at best and complete BS at worst. It seems clear to me there were some screw ups and sadly, Americans will continue to die in screw ups for as long as this country continues to survive. I was not in favor of what Obama did in Libya and at the end of the day, I have a feeling that part of what lead to this was a desire to not have troops stationed in the embassy in the hopes of avoiding a situation where Al Quada looked for a US military target they could fight and overwhelm.
What also probably contributed here was hubris; the perpetual idea of America that the rest of the world will love us where ever we go. While Bush waged wars that were of the shock and awe variety, Obama has become rather enamored with the use of drones to invade the sovereignty of other nations and kill terrorists, which, ironically, is pretty similar to how Israel does things.
I am cynical Jean because I see no real push from Republicans to restrict the office of the POTUS from engaging in things that are in fact acts of war despite calling them something else. We like the idea that if we don't openly declare war and force the entire country to back it, we can let it drone on endlessly (see what I did there?) without having constraints or consequences. Looking at the election just concluded, I see no real desire for peace neither from candidates nor the American people asking the questions. Ultimately, Republicans are looking for Obama's "Blue Dress", nothing more.
Hey Max, Time for a few questions. I lived through the Watergate affair. It really wasn't about a break in but about a cover up from the highest levels of government. The Media was all over it and without the media we never would have known or brought it to conclusion.
Fast forward to today. People were killed, obviously failures took place. Why isn't the media all over this? Who knew, who made decisions regarding security? is there a government coverup? High high did this go? All are reasonable questions however with out a media pushing for answers, all is being relegated to the back burner of nothingness in Washington. To me this is a disgrace as a slap in the face of those who lost their lives. It may turn out that it was at the lowest levels, they should lose their jobs. If it goes to the head of the state department, they should lose their jobs. If it's higher the same applies.
In Watergate, no one was killed people resigned, went to jail. In Benghazi, people lost their lives, no one has even been fired.
Have our values changed so much that it's not important as the media ignores the entire affair? Have our values changes so much that once we put people in jail for hiding the truth and today we don't even fire people for incompetence?
Precisely the point, Lou! Watergate was a minor incident where no one was killed yet it brought down a president because it was covered up.
We understand there were mistakes made in Benghazi also. Far more serious mistakes as people did die. Why isn't the media demanding answers? Why is this conveniently backburnered until the election was over. Why was the video excuse offered and accepted, then questioned? If military personnel and Obama watched the incident live how could there be any validity to the video excuse?
what I really don't get is why isn't there more outrage about this. Why are our countrymen/women so complacent?
Condescension? The high road? Fine. How about this.
Screw you, Max. You can really piss me off. All I said was that at the least, the Creep who is our President seems to have been a callous, stupid, slef-centered, arrogant excuse for a human being to have flown off to Las Vegas, knowing what he knew about Benghazi, and 'staying connected' be damned.
Our country has gone insane. A CIA director resigns because he could be blackmailed, but a President gets a pass.
ReplyDeleteOne more embarrassment for cuckoldress Hillary.

People are complacent because it is ignored on the major networks and totally absent in the newspapers.
DeletePeople living comfortably in their cocoons, believing a video killed the 4 people in Benghazi as that's the last thing they heard about it.
Our media is totally useless.

A self-serving obsession. Sure.
You can be quite infuriating, yes?

In hindsight Jean, the trip to LV probably wasn't "optimal."
