That's just a taste.
There were no grandstanding hearings, not a peep from from the blowhards bringing you the hollow Bengazi Show. And let's never forget that intelligence briefings leading up to 9/11/2001 were willfully ignored. While the president was at his "ranch", relaxin'. How did Condi recall those when asked? "I believe it was titled 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack Within The United States'." Oh yeah, those hearings also revealed that aircraft were likely to be used.
How about that administration's WMD fantasy, successfully convincing 70% of Americans that Saddam Hussein had a hand in the WTC disaster? Then charging the multi-trillion dollar military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan on the national credit card.
You either demand ALL the ugly truth ALL of the time, or don't. True patriotism isn't partisan.
P.S. I was just as appalled about Richard Nixon in the 1970's and the Watergate situation. Wrong is wrong, anonymous and this is the HERE and the NOW. Let's clean up the mess.
Bengazi was little more than a pitched tent at a torture and rendition black site. They were running heat-seeking missiles to the Syrian rebels. The Syrian rebels can be seen on video cheering and waving them.
The ambassador was in an awkward position to say the least and may even have had misgivings.
The attack was an organized, well-planned event utilizing inside intelligence. The attack lasted almost 9 hours.
A stand down order was issued from President Obama, the only one who is authorized to do it, via the Afri-COM command, which is under (or was) Petraeus. All that came out in the testimony.
Congresswoman and former United States Ambassador to Luxembourg Ann Wagner (R-MO) appeared on The Dana Loesch show and placed the blame, of the stand down order to those that could have offered assistance to Americans under attack, on none other than Barack Obama.
Where was your outrage when Bush was President?

Thank you. You guys just keep blaming EVERYTHING on Bush. Let's hear a better argument.

ReplyDeleteThere was a cover-up, no doubt about it. The question is, why?

So what do you call that? Certainly not incompetence. More like murder.
