View Full Version : FUCK Benghazi! Move the fuck on already!!!

The Republican inquisition over the attacks against Americans in Benghazi has never really gone away, but it appears as though in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing and the House Oversight Committee's Benghazi hearings this week there are renewed psycho-histrionics over Benghazi.
Lindsey Graham and Fox News Channel in particular are each crapping their cages over new allegations from an alleged whistleblower, while they continue to deal in previously debunked falsehoods about the sequence of events during and following the attacks. Fox News is predictably helming the biggest raft of hooey on the situation -- turning its attention to Hillary Clinton in an abundantly obvious early move to stymie her presidential run before it even begins.
So I thought I'd revisit some territory I covered back in October as a bit of a refresher -- especially since it appears as if no one, including and especially the traditional press, intends to ask any of these obnoxious, opportunistic liars about why they're so obsessed by this one attack yet they entirely ignored the dozen-plus consulate/embassy attacks that occurred when George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were allegedly "keeping us safe."
The Benghazi attacks (the consulate and the CIA compound) are absolutely not unprecedented even though they're being treated that way by Republicans who are deliberately ignoring anything that happened prior to Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009.
January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed.
June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al Qaeda attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.
October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of "Bali Bombings." No fatalities.
February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.
May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al Qaeda terrorists storm the diplomatic compound, killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.
July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.
December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.
March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name "David Foy." This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what's considered American soil.)
September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting "Allahu akbar" storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.
January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.
March 18, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.
July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.
September 17, 2008. Sana'a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.
2013-05-09-benghazi_gate_bush_era_320.jpgA few observations about this timeline. My initial list was quoted from an article on the Daily Kos which actually contained several errors and only 11 attacks (the above timeline contains all 13 attacks). Also, my list above doesn't include the numerous and fatal attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during the Iraq war -- a war that was vocally supported by Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Fox News Channel.
Speaking of Graham, I ran a search on each attack along with the name "Lindsey Graham" in the hopes of discovering that Graham had perhaps commented about the attacks or raised some questions about why the administration didn't prevent the attacks or respond accordingly to prevent additional embassy attacks. No results. Of course. Now, this could mean the search wasn't exhaustive enough. But one thing's for sure: neither Graham nor any of his cohorts launched a crusade against the Bush administration and the State Department in any of those cases -- no one did, including the congressional Democrats, by the way.
This leads us to the ultimate point here. Not only have numerous sources previously debunked the Benghazi information being peddled by the Republicans and Fox News (for example, contrary to what the Republicans are saying, yes, reinforcements did in fact arrive before the attack on the CIA compound), but none of these people raised a single word of protest when, for example, American embassies in Yemen and Pakistan were attacked numerous times. Why didn't the Bush administration do something to secure the compounds after the first attacks? Why didn't he provide additional security?
Where was your inquest after the Karachi attacks, Mr. Graham? Where were you after the Sana'a attacks, Mr. Hannity? What about all of the embassy attacks in Iraq that I didn't even list here, Mr. McCain? Do you realize how many people died in attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates when Bush was supposedly keeping us safe, Mr. Ailes? Just once I'd like to hear David Gregory or George Stephanopoulos or Wolf Blitzer ask a Republican member of Congress about the above timeline and why they said nothing at the time of each attack. Just once.
Nearly every accusation being issued about Benghazi could've been raised about the Bush-era attacks, and yet these self-proclaimed truth-seekers refused to, in their words, undermine the commander-in-chief while troops were in harm's way (a line they repeated over and over again during those years).
So we're only left to conclude the obvious. The investigations and accusations and conspiracy theories are entirely motivated by politics and a strategy to escalate this to an impeachment trial. In doing so, the Republicans have the opportunity not only to crush the president's second term, but also to sabotage the potential for a Hillary Clinton presidency.
Even if they never arrive at that goal, they have in their possession a cudgel formed of horseshit -- a means of flogging the current administration with the singularly effective Republican marketing/noise machine, including the conservative entertainment complex. Very seldom does this machine fail to revise history and distort the truth. Ultimately, they don't even need a full-blown impeachment proceeding when they have a population of way too many truthers and automatons who take all of these lies at face value -- not to mention dubiously sourced chunks of "truth" proffered by radio and cable news conspiracy theorists who, if nothing else, are masters at telling angry conservatives precisely what they want to hear: that the probably-Muslim president is weak on terrorism. And so they'll keep repeating "Benghazi-Gate, Benghazi-Gate, Benghazi-Gate!" without any regard for history or reality. Like always.

I find it distasteful that anyone would use this horrible attack as a political issue. And as FORD and John Stewart pointed out, it's pretty hypocritical for the repubs to do that.
Since I still don't understand it other than huffing and puffing, can anyone post an article that explains why this is such a terrible scandal? Security breaches happen sometimes and you usually don't blame the President or the Secstate every time.
I think it emboldens the terrorists a bit too to see us attacking each other due to their handiwork. It's a success for them unfortunately.

It's been speculated by Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy (among others) that Issa isn't really after Obama with this empty-headed crusade, but it's actually a pre-emptive strike against Hillary and her (assumed) Presidential run in 2016.
Now I don't support Hillary at all, and doubt I would even vote for her in the General Election. But 4 years of this mostly fictional hypocrisy over Benghazi... well nobody wants to see that. :puke:

The current Benghazi retread of bullshit is nothing more than the GOP attempting to pre-smear Hillery. I don't know the douchebag's name, nor do I really care. But I recall some State Dept. d-bag who was partially in charge of the debacle saying that "four special forces operators" were ready to go into Benghazi, but the Pentagon said no. He then went on to say that say something to the affect of "the State Dept. had more balls than the military." What this cunt leaves out is that those four SF operators were armed with only side arms, and would have been outnumbered by at least 4-1 and were needed to treat any wounded that came in. He also said something about sending fighters over the city to scare the terrorists. But there were none in the area to just send over...

Just for the record, neither this Devil personally, nor the Demoncratic Party of Hell, as a political organization, will EVER endorse Hillary Clinton as a candidate.
But that doesn't mean this Old Fart isn't 666% correct in his analysis of the motivation behind this dragonshit.
If they had any goddamned sense, they would go after Hillary where she could actually be PROVEN guilty, and that's in her close allegiance with the financial criminals destroying your country. Including literally pimping her own daughter out to a second-generation Gold Mansacks felon.

This is the problem when you buy into the FAUX Noize mythology.....
Sometimes, there simply are not two sides to the story.
For example, Global Climate Change is real. The 3% of KKKoch funded fools who are paid to deny this fact do not deserve equal time to tell their story on the air, because their story is DRAGONSHIT.
Similar thing with this Benghazi thing. 4 people died. That sucks. But as many of the posts above indicate, there have been many things of a similar nature over the past 30 years that have sucked even more, yet were met with less outrage. And as also was pointed out, Republicans, including Joe McCarthief himself voted AGAINST the increase in embassy security funding which might well have prevented this event from happening.
But you won't hear that on FAUX Noize. Now who's being one sided?

I have no control over what any of them does or says and I'm not going to spend my time listening to their lies. Has any of your political posts ever changed anything? No Fuck no but you'll still keep on posting your one sided political commentary till your fingers wear off. I doubt there's a single member of this site that posts here on a regular basis that doesn't know you hate republicans and conservatives and think the BCE is behind everything evil that's ever been done. If Osama Bin Laden himself told you he was the mastermind behind the events of 9/11 you'd call him a liar. You're obssessed with trying to convince the entire world to think like you do but I'm not convinced anything you've ever posted about politicics has any basis in fact.

Benghazi was never properly investigated. I'm sorry but when americans die and there looks to be a coverup at the top levels there needs to be an investigation. Sadly this whole thing has been politicized. It should neither be a Republican or Democrat issue but a justice issue. The Republicans have timed to bring Benghazi out before the election. The Democrats are having a tizzy fit because they know the Obama Administration has much to hide regarding the issue.
The bottom line is, people died, and we need to know the details and I'm not buying Hillary's "What does it matter?" line. Also the whole tie in with Libya to Syria and the weapons running looks very fishy.
I would say this runs deeper than just the Obama Administration. It's looks to be part of a greater plan as described by General Westly Clark to conquer middle east countries to control the oil in order to preserve the petrodollar. If anything it just shows both Democrats and Republicans are both complicit in the petrodollar preservation game and that means invading countries to secure the oil and pipelines.
This whole business in the Ukraine is the same deal. Also, it's a move against Putin for him foiling the move in Syria.
So don't get caught up in the Republican vs Democrat bullshit. Look at the bigger picture. Just because the Republicans have stooped low to play politics with such a serious issue does not negate the seriousness of it. People don't get angry when they have nothing to hide.

One thing you guys are missing.
In the US perhaps this was downplayed.
Forget who was in power.
The thing that was odd with this was the media in Canada(can only speak of what I saw on CTV, Global and Sun) immediately reported that it was an organized attack.
There were reports of chatter then well armed militants showing up in an organized manner.
There was even one account of documents of being taken from the embassy..,reported as possible lists of informants(who knows).
Shorty after...this became about a video.
Soon the video maker was being slammed in the media and arrested.

This isn't directed at anyone here but it seems like one party will say it's a non story about something one of their members was in involved in but they'll insist it is if it's a member of the other party. There's a mention of cutting funds by one party but no mention of the other one cutting funds in another situation. Republicans want to lay blame on democrats for cutting back on intelligence gathering before 9/11 but the democrats want to blame Bush because it happened during his presidency. Now the democrats want to lay blame on republicans for doing the same fucking thing before Benghazi. This just shows me both parties are full of shit.

Funny how your narrative establishing that "both parties are full of shit" is heavily biased towards ONE party.....

I don't think Jone$ is on their payroll. It wouldn't make sense considering his "message" has always been in more of a Koch Brothers fashion on American Foreign Policy. As conspiracy as it might sound, Jone$ is taking checks from C.I.A. think tanks and mega-oil interest being the F A T mouthpiece propaganda-spewing racist fucker that he is.

I don't think...
Duh...
Fox News' Dana Perino demonstrated her network's habit of using any story to invoke Benghazi by daring meteorologists who are scheduled to meet with President Obama to ask him about the attack.
On the final segment of The Five, Perino discussed an upcoming event in which national and local TV meteorologists will speak with Obama about climate change issues after the release of the 2014 National Climate Assessment. Perino used the opportunity to reference the Benghazi attacks, saying: "Tomorrow, President Obama is going to do interviews with meteorologists all across the country about a new climate change report. ... I hope they ask him about Benghazi. Like the weatherman from Montana should ask him about Benghazi, that would be great. I dare you."
Perino's line underscores the one common thread behind all of Fox's recent news coverage: invoking Benghazi at every opportunity. After Fox anchors Jon Scott and Jenna Lee cut away from a White House press briefing, promising to return only if Benghazi was being discussed, MSNBC's Steve Benen summed up the network's coverage by pointing out that "Fox has deemed all current events unworthy" unless it pertains to Benghazi:
This is getting a little weird.
By Fox's reasoning, there is only One True News Story. If current events distract from the One True News Story, then current events must be ignored ... while we wait for something to happen with the One True News Story.
That the One True News Story actually happened 20 months ago - it can no longer be accurately characterized as a current event - is a minor detail that should apparently be ignored by real Americans.
Scott added, "Talking about energy efficiency, of all things, right now. But if they get to some questions about this House select committee, how it will work, we will take you back there live."
First, "of all things" is a hilarious phrase in this context. It's as if the Fox host is offended that the White House is addressing an issue that's not the 20-month-old One True News Story - how dare administration officials take energy policy seriously right now, when Fox has deemed all current events unworthy.
On May 2, a Fox host said "we'll go back" to a news conference with Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel only if a reporter asked a question about Benghazi. That day, the network got the formation of the special Benghazi committee it had spent months agitating for. After a Fox correspondent bragged about the role the network played in spurring Republicans to form the committee, the network spent the day pushing Benghazi falsehoods both old and new, and aired a special investigative report about Benghazi.

Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/05/david-brock-benghazi_n_5268775.html)
05/05/2014 5:34 pm EDT Updated: 5 hours ago
NEW YORK -- Media Matters chairman David Brock is urging top CBS News executives to reopen the network's internal investigation over its discredited "60 Minutes" report on the Benghazi attack.
Lara Logan, the network's chief foreign correspondent, and Max McClellan, her producer, went on leave following the network's internal review and have not returned. A New York magazine report, published Sunday night, has renewed interest in the network controversy and provided new details about how the erroneous Oct. 27 story -- which featured a discredited "eyewitness" and several unsourced claims about the September 2012 attack that killed four Americans -- ever made it on air.
Brock, who founded the progressive media watchdog, addressed Monday's letter to CBS News chairman and "60 Minutes" executive producer Jeff Fager and CBS News president David Rhodes. In the letter, he wrote that the New York magazine story "raises critical questions about the validity of CBS' investigation."
"Re-opening the investigation is warranted as it now appears that CBS' internal investigation was not thorough, was wrong on critical points, and omitted key facts -- facts that would have revealed that Logan's report was tainted by partisanship and unprofessional conduct," Brock wrote.
Specifically, Brock noted that the internal review said Logan had reached out to security firm Blue Mountain, the State Department and the FBI regarding Dylan Davies, the security contractor who claimed to have witnessed the attack but was later revealed to have told his employer and the FBI that he did not reach the compound that night. New York magazine's Joe Hagan reported that Logan did not contact the State Department or FBI.
Brock also wrote that CBS' review did not disclose that Logan consulted with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of administration's toughest critics on Benghazi, while preparing the story. The morning after Logan's "60 Minutes" report aired, Graham seized upon Davies' bogus account as evidence that all the Benghazi survivors had not been heard from and that Obama administration appointees should be blocked until all witnesses had testified before Congress.
"Did CBS know how closely Logan was collaborating with Sen. Graham on the Benghazi report?" Brock asked. "If so, why was this not disclosed on air or in CBS' review of the erroneous report?"
In the letter, Brock also raised questions about reported restrictions placed on other CBS reporters while Logan pursued the Benghazi story, as well as questions about the vetting process prior to its broadcast.
Brock, a right-wing Clinton antagonist in the 1990s, turned left and went on to found Media Matters and super PAC American Bridge. He recently started Correct the Record, a new initiative to defend Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of State at the time of the Benghazi attack. In October, Brock wrote "The Benghazi Hoax," an e-book examining how Republicans and conservative media have promoted what he considers a "phony scandal."
Media Matters comprehensively covered inconsistencies in Davies' account of the night of the attack, and Brock called upon Fager and Rhodes to retract the story on Nov. 1.
But CBS did not retract it, and went on to ignore or sidestep HuffPost's questions about the conflicting accounts for nearly a week. The "60 Minutes" report completely unraveled on Nov. 7, with Logan apologizing on air the next morning.
In Monday's letter, Brock reiterated his previous call for CBS to conduct an independent investigation, similar to the one that followed Dan Rather's 2004 report on George W. Bush's military service with the Texas Air National Guard. The independent committee produced a 224-page report, and as a result CBS ousted four employees. Rather, his role diminished, left the network in 2006.
"As long as these discrepancies and questions remain unaddressed and until full accountability is taken, it is impossible for that to happen," Brock wrote, adding that he hopes the executives "take this opportunity to reassure your viewers of CBS' standards and accountability."
A "60 Minutes" spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

Alex Jones avoids going after the Israeli government which everyone knows is corrupt and influences US foreign policy. The Ukraine business was hijacking a legitimate protest and running a cout de tat. Payback for Putin's meddling in Syria. Basically Israel is using the US to take it's enemies out for it. Then of course you have oligarchs like the one running the Ukraine at the moment who has ties to Israel. Even Right Sector has dual Israeli citizens serving in it. One from Canada admitted it.
Then of course it's oligarchs like the Rothschilds who run Israel. They seem to be very good at tucking their agenda into places where if you attack it, you get labeled an anti-semite or a racist. Brilliant really but evil as hell.

I used to respect him for his service in Vietnam but now I think the guy is either blackmailed and/or motivated by pure greed.

Of course the propaganda and entertainment shows will make a circus out of Benghazi. The bottom line is people died. There was a cover up. There are unanswered questions. The matter needs to be investigated. One tactic politicians love to play now is using noise. The short attention span of the American public and all the distractions are politicians best friends. Hillary Clinton perfectly well understood that. No we don't need to move on and yes it does matter. Shut up and let's investigate this in a professional manner.

Washington's Blog (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/05/democrats-republicans-missing-benghazi-libya.html)
Democrats and Republicans Are Both Missing the Big Picture On Benghazi and Libya
Republicans say the Obama administration is to blame for the death of Ambassador Stevens – and have created a special committee to investigate Benghazi – while Democrats by and large say that the is nothing but politics.
The truth is bigger than either side is admitting …
First, Pulitzer prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh – who broke the story of the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam under Nixon and the torture scandal under Bush – says that Benghazi was really a CIA outpost for running weapons capture from Libya after Gaddaffi was overthrown into Syria … approved on a bipartisan basis by both Democrats and Republicans.
Second, it has been confirmed that the U.S. backed Al Qaeda terrorists in Libya so that they would overthrow Gaddaffi.
Third, as we noted right after Gaddaffi fell, the Obama administration’s stated reason for going into Libya makes no sense. Now, RAND Corporation political scientists theorize that Obama might have decided to bomb Libya – not for any reason having to do with Libya or Gaddaffi themselves – but rather “to keep the Arab Spring going“.
The U.S. ousted Gaddaffi and then left, and Libya has now descended into chaos.
The Washington Post argues that America fighting the Libyan war is a bigger scandal than Benghazi itself:
Republicans have a potentially strong case to make against the Obama administration’s handling of Libya, as the latest political developments there underline. On Sunday, a disputed vote in parliament led to the swearing-in of a new prime minister — the sixth since former dictator Moammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 with the help of U.S. and NATO air forces. The new leader, an Islamist from the city of Misurata, replaced pro-Western prime minister Ali Zeidan, who was driven out of the country this year after his government proved unable to stop a militia from filling a tanker with stolen oil.
From the safety of Europe, Mr. Zeidan conceded what was obvious all along: Libya’s post-Gaddafi government has no army and no way of establishing its authority over the hundreds of militias that sprang up in the vacuum that followed the revolution. Libya has fragmented into fiefdoms, its oil industry is virtually paralyzed, massive traffic in illegal weapons is supplying militants around the region and extremist groups such as Ansar al-Sharia, which participated in the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, are unchecked.
The Obama administration and its NATO allies bear responsibility for this mess because, having intervened to help rebels overthrow Gaddafi, they then swiftly exited without making a serious effort to help Libyans establish security and build a new political order. Congress might usefully probe why the administration allowed a country in which it initiated military operations to slide into chaos.
Fourth, the Libya war – just like the Iraq war – was illegal, as noted in the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Washington Times, Guardian, Salon, and elsewhere.
Those are four the deeper stories about Benghazi and Libya which neither the Democrats or Republicans are talking about.

Fuck this left/ right democrat/ republican bullshit and move on already. All politicians are liars and thieves. If they weren't they would make it far in politics. The guy in office now is selling this country to China and nobody seems to care. Take a good look at the National debt. It used to be about 50/50 as far as debt to Americans and debt to foriegn interests, Now the part we owe to foriegn interests is way more than what's owed to our citizens. Where's all the righteous indignation about that?
Actually, the previous guy in office, along with his daddy and his uncle (pictured below) were the ones who sold this country out to China.
Barry just hasn't done much to get it back......
And I've been talking about the last 32 years of destructive economic policies since day one. (Actually Poppy's first fellation of China goes back before then, to the early 70's, when he went there, supposedly as Nixon's ambassador, but really to establish future financial ties for the BCE, ties that were later maintained by Poppy's brother, Prescott Jr and his criminal treasonous organization known as the "US-China Chamber of Commerce"

Bush was an lousy president but so's this guy. He hasn't gotten us involved in another war but it ain't from lack of trying.

Well, she did actually suck his dick. I won't even get into what her motives were, who might have actually been behind it, her bragging about "Presidential kneepads" or any of that.
But it wasn't a scandal until BCE puppet Ken $tarr made it one. And he only did so because he was unable to find any actual crimes committed by Clinton after wasting about 5 years and 50 million taxpayer dollars in doing so.
As it is with Obama, the real problem with Blowjobgate is that Clinton did plenty of things that really SHOULD have been investigated. And none of them had anything to do with blowjobs or thirty year old real estate deals in Arkansas. NAFTA should have been investigated. The 1996 Clear Channel/FAUX enabling act should have been investigated. Letting Phil "Enron" Gramm destroy Glass Steagal should have been investigated. Those are the things Bill Clinton actually did that harmed this country. Monica sucking his cock didn't have any real effect at all.
And just in case somebody doubted the BONER quotes posted above.......
