I hate to admit it but I have no clue what's up with Benghazi and Hillary

IT was not an Embassy.. it never was.

It was a Spook (CIA) house.

Now,, go from there

Is Judicial Watch reputable?

Yes, we would have flown in on CH-53 helicopters. I believe we had 3 on the deck of our ship at that time.

We had the resources. There was military politics at play as well because we didn't fall under Africom but rather centcom and didn't want to give us up. It was stupid though, we should have gone in, we were there!

I know the feeling. An order from the WH would have solved the conflict between Africom and Centcom, however as that is where the launch order would have had to come from.

Apparently requests for security were made and denied.

Hillary said she wasn't aware of those requests.

Hillary said ambassador Stevens knew how to contact her directly and apparently he didn't? (Something seems odd here). Apparently important emails never reached Hillary.

Team Hillary blamed an "internet video" for weeks as the catalyst for the attack.

Apparently the day of and after (Hillary sent an email to Chelsea saying as much)... that the attack was not a result of the internet video.

And Hillary should be immediately disqualified from office because she is clearly incompetent. She was in charge, and security failed, it's on her.

The "internet video" excuse in my opinion was clearly a coverup to protect Obama with the election around the corner.

Now that's the first intelligent comment I have heard in here about this. Outstanding analysis.

 

[navy-vet]

There have been more intelligent comments since that post in here I am pleased to say

Why was the ambassador in Benghazi with the cia? Is that common, I would think you would want your ambassador removed from stuff like that

 

[navy-vet]

Ambassadors answer to the Secretary of State and serve at the pleasure of the POTUS. If they are ordered to attend to a matter, they do it, or they are relieved.
Stevens may have been ordered to Benghazi simply to provide a distraction to an entity in Tripoli or something....

Why are Republicans such fools. The consensus seems to be that this hearing was a failure for them and a win for Hillary. There are so many questions they could have asked about what was happening in Benghazi before the attack but they didn't ask them.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

To be completely honest, I don't even know what the entire ordeal was about. What even happened?

The CIA had a piece of property in Benghazi operating out of for their weapons smuggling ops to Syria. They likely were using it to temporarily store Libyan prisoners. The US ambassador was involved since he was at that location. Locals got pissed about itl and blowback ensued. A few federal agents got their comeuppance. The Obama Admin (Secretary of State Clinton included) tried to say it was because of an anti islamic youtube. The media, while covering up about what happened, lied and said there was an embassy in Benghazi, while the actual embassy was in Tripoli (our embassy was always in Tripoli). Republicans never acknowledged publicly what happened and instead relied upon the same old "because Obama" for the hearing and accomplished nothing.

I think the real question is, why didn't we just carpet bomb everything within a 20 square mile area surrounding the embassy. Or at least find some scapegoats and string up their disembowled remains outside the building.

Mankind has an 8000 year record of what works and what doesn't when it comes to running empires. If we're gonna do this thing, I wish to hell they would just stop phoning it in.

Because americans are class A pussies.

I'm still not exactly clear on what the location of the embassy had to do with it or what Clinton's role was.

Her role was to protect those assets. That was her job and she failed at it. There are reasons she failed (like covering up for the CIA), but Republicans did not focus on it.

THIS.

Ultimate example of failed intervention w/ US foreign policy. This time we got deadly blowback from crazed Libyan Jihadists. (6th grader could predict this)

Doopey & "controlled" Republicans can't point this out, after 4 hearings..

 

[Todd]

Okay, if Hillary is responsible for Benghazi, is George W. Bush equally and personally responsible for the 9-11 Attack? Put him in the hot seat and interrogate him.

Theres an old Army guideline for Commissioned officer behavior. it states that they are to "profer no excuses" because the Army is about results. If you don't achieve results you are no good to the Army.

Why should Bush be allowed to profer them when he was Commander in Chief over ALL of the Army?

Why should Hillary be allowed to do so either when she is seeking to be Commander in Chief?

One rule for me but not for thee?


She was in charge. Whether she was unaware of just plain incompetent, she should have been relieved and not even be eligible to seek higher office.

If he wasn't at the embassy, then... that wasn't a State Department asset. If he was, then yes. You can't have it both ways.

 

[ARealConservative]

basically, this event should of harmed Obama in the past election, but it didn't.

that made the GOP very mad. They still want to make political hay out of this tragedy - and are finding more success this time around

 

[Pauls' Revere]

You are not supposed to have a clue. Just more of the usual D.C., smoke and mirrors and spin and BS.
