I don't understand all the stink about Benghazi. It seems that in trying to police the world....north Africa in this case....we botched security at one of our diplomatic missions. A bunch of #$%^& Libyans attacked and killed 4 Americans.
At the time, it seems that an Administration official at some level decided that the American people wouldn't care if they thought our people were killed by a crowd spontaneously angered by some movie or some such nonsense vs an out-and-out terrorist attack, which would be horrible. So they lied.
Why would one be worse than the other? Our people are still dead, regardless.
"Hello, Mrs. Widow. I have some good news and some bad news. First, your husband's dead. But the good news....it was just a spontaneous demonstration."
So a bunch of politicians lied. Lying is what they do. *yawn*
Somebody please tell me again why we give a rats ass what happens in Libya? The f__kers just fight for the sake of fighting. That seems to be the #1 pastime in that part of the world. Why don't we seem to get that? You scramble an ant pile with a stick, you're gonna get stung.
Why was security botched in the first place? Didn't Congress vote to cut back funding for State Department security to help reduce the deficit? Then this happened, and they're surprised? Really?
Attacks on Americans overseas have been happening since the Reagan days, maybe before....I can't remember. Here's one for you: How come every time something bad happens in their back yard the Europeans expect the US to come and "fix it"? Do we ask them to come over here and slap around the drug cartels in Mexico for us?
Republicans are just looking for something to throw in the face of the Democrats, just like the Democrats had a field day complaining about how NJ Governor Chris Christie (R) caused a traffic jam on some bridge to NY. This whole thing is just sleazy politics.
You're on a slippery slope, Republicans, feigning outrage over Democrats lying about Benghazi. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You ALL lie! Nixon lied, Reagan lied, Clinton, Bush, and Obama lied also. And it is with great confidence that I can predict the president after Obama will lie to us, too.
Instead of distracting us with more Benghazi BS why not get your house in order? Do your job....let me rephrase that. Do the job THE AMERICAN PEOPLE sent you to Washington to do. NOT the job the special interests (think: Goldman Sachs & Friends) are paying you to do now that you're there.
