More on BHO & Benghazi

Absolutely! Less than 2 months before a presidential election. Tight race. On the campaign trail Barry has been blowing his own horn about having the terrorists on the run.

One day after the Benghazi attack that occurred on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, Obama spoke at a campaign event in Las Vegas on Sept. 12.

“A day after 9/11, we are reminded that a new tower rises above the New York skyline, but al Qaeda is on the path to defeat and bin Laden is dead,” Obama said in Las Vegas.

I see it the same as "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" and "I am not a crook". Combine that with a really odd jobs report that I believe was doctored to make him look better and a picture begins to develop.



How is that any different from the whole "Mission Accomplished" thing?



So it's your contention that Obama is no different than Bush? Interesting.
Please don't dent the planet.

******Can somebody explain to me why the "label" of the attackers matters?



The only time I can see a label being relevant to anything other than political grandstanding is whether bad guys are classified as a soldiers or as criminals. If they are a soldiers, deal with them militarily. If they are criminals, use police (or other non-military force) appropriate to the jurisdiction.

agreed!

If I assume what you mean you correctly, a civilian is no longer a civilian once they commit a terrorist act. But they are only civilians when they are planning the attack.

So police should be involved when apprehending a terrorist planning person, and military should be used to deal with terrorists that actually act.

In which case, the guy that made the video, that the attacks were blamed on, fits into this . . . HOW?

If the above is correct, why wasn't the military allowed to act?

Was it not a terrorist attack? Obama says he has always said it was.

Why would you assume all so-called "terrorists" are soldiers? I would argue the opposite is more often true. And responding to them with military force has, thus far, worked out pretty poorly.

I guess we shouldn't then, evidently the war on terror is over.

Or maybe Obama is committing murder by bombing ISIS or ISIL or whatever they are calling themselves these days.

Evidently you think the local constabulary should be dealing with it.

Interesting, but not surprising, how you set up straw men to avoid addressing what's actually been said.

ISIS is aspiring to be a state actor. I'd consider them soldiers to be dealt with militarily.

Your implication that police only exist on the local level is absurd.

You would consider them soldiers?

What is it that you would consider a terrorist group that should be dealt with by a police force?
How organized do they have to be?
At what member level does a group attain a level of military dealings?

Does aspiration make for truth?

If "Someguy" is aspiring to be Mars mission astronaut, does that make it so?

I would consider them an unrecognized state with soldiers.

Eric Rudolph would be a good example, as would Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. It would have been better, and almost certainly faster and cheaper, to have dealt with Osama bin Laden by intelligence organizations instead of major military action.

turtlespeed

It's not about how organized they are or how many people there are. It's about what they are organized to be and to become.

No. That said, ISIS/ISIL have been pretty successful. If not defeated, they will eventually go from an unrecognized state to a recognized state, however reluctant other states are to recognize them.

There realy isn't much difference between the two. Though Obama hasn't killed thousands of American soldiers with his mistakes yet. Bush has.

If you have not read 13 Hours in Benghazi I strongly recommend it. Beside being a well written first person narrative, the book opens the door to the controversy a little wider.

The controversy as summed up by Mitchell Zuckoff, author of 13 Hours, follows three issues.

Quote

Prior to the attack: Who, if anyone, deserves blame and potential punishment for security flaws at the Compound, and did those flaws contribute to the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith? Four State Department employees were placed on paid administrative leave, but all were reinstated and given new jobs at State. Two later retired voluntarily.

During the attack: Was the US military response appropriate, and if not, why not? A related question is whether more aggressive US military action was possible, and if so, might it have prevented the deaths of Tyrone “Rone” Woods and Glen “Bub” Doherty, and the serious injuries to Mark “Oz” Geist and David Ubben?

After the attack: Did the Obama administration mislead the public for political reasons, by erroneously linking the attack to protests triggered by clips from the Innocence of Muslims movie? A related question was whether the administration downplayed a possible role by al-Qaeda.



pp. 295-296

The questions derived from these issues need final conclusive and honest answers. The families of the deceased deserve the answer as well as concerned Americans.

Zuckoff's summation of where we are now:

Quote

As Clinton promoted her book, a new investigation was being launched by the House Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi, Chaired by former federal prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, the committee's creation promised to drive questions about Benghazi into the 2016 presidential campaign and beyond.



p. 298

It is my hope that Gowdy does just that. Benghazi must remain an issue to point out the failure in leadership in the BHO administration in 2016 and thus diminish the chances of another Liberal Democratic presidential win. As I began to formalize this post, they announced on the TV news that the Republicans have a good chance of gaining control of the Senate in November. Maybe we are on our way to turning this nation around.

a bunch of the same questions is somehow proof that something is wrong? All these questions asked and answered in the previous 9 or so investigations......yawn.

My disappointment is how much money this is costing the taxpayer and when can i expect to see a refund....

Sharyl Attkisson's book explains how BHO manipulated the media to attack Romney's position on Benghazi.

“Now, eight years after Rathergate, I feared that we’d once again mischaracterized facts in advance of a presidential election to hurt a Republican. We not only had stood by silently as the media largely sided against Romney, but we’d also taken an active part in steering them in that direction,”

I hope and pray the GOP Congress will expose the WH strategy for exactly what it was in Sep 2012. Jonathon Gruber has opened the door much further and shined the light on more truth. That is by exposing the lies behind Obamacare. This house of cards is crumbling. Maybe just maybe some of the more astute liberal progressives will realize the error of idolizing the intellectually elite.

The thread "Morons on Benghazi" continues.

Why are the conservatards so easily led into being pissed off about four people dying in Benghazi, while not giving a rats ass about the hundreds of thousands we killed during the invasion and occupation of Iraq? Not to mention the hundreds of thousands displaced, and the completely predictable rise of ISIL and other extremist groups looking to fill the power vacuum left by getting rid of Saddam Hussein.

The only explanation I can come up with is that Faux Spews and the Reich Wing leadership tells the 'tards what to be pissed about. The 'tards are too fucking STUPID to realize that they are ignorant sheeple like beings. Dumb as a box of rocks, and extremely proud of it.

How is that practicing Socialism working for you, Ron?

Are you still taking benefits from Social Security and Medicare, the most Socialist government programs available, while claiming that your hate Socialism is all it forms? Still a complete and utter hypocrite, eh?

God will punish you for your sins. A permanent assignment to Hell is about right. False Christianity needs extreme punishment.

The Senate may join Trey Gowdy and the House investigation of the Benghazi cover up. Good, keep the pressure on.
