    General: 'We may have been able to' save Benghazi victims, but State Department never asked for help


    http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2547959/#


    Within hours everyone knew it was a terrorist attack. Our state department refused to act but spent the time planning a strategy to explain the deaths of Americans they were unwilling to save.

    POTUS or SOS will never own this (*)(*)(*)(*) up. Progressives have circled the wagon.

    I think eventually the truth will come out but I understand the left is hyper allergic to it.

    The truth is known but I believe it will be used for political leverage and not the public eyes.

    Obama's hold over people is slowly coming unraveled. Once he loses the Senate the rats will start jumping off the Obama boat in droves. There won't be any love lost between Obama and the Clinton's when Obama's ship starts to sink. Imagine the things Hillary will confess to to save her "thrown under the bus" behind if she wants a chance at winning the presidency.

    Whatever it takes to get Obama to swallow his pride and start negotiating with congress to break the gridlock is fine with me. If he plays it like Clinton did with Newt, he can still come out of his presidency with dignity. Otherwise, he will be remembered as a Liar in Chief.

    Obama "doesn't want to negotiate" with Republicans remember? He views his hands washed of everything, yet solely takes the credit when things go right. Want to know what that's called? A child. He's a child in the world's most prestigious office.

    Why do you want to break the gridlock?

    Interesting thought. You think that's why Hillary hasn't announced yet?
    Still I have a hard time wrapping my head around that idea. It's not like the truth can be contained in this scenario. Many know the truth, they can't all have chits on Hillary can they?

    So did they do a root cause analysis on this? Last I heard Hillary just said what difference does it make.
    I don't recall anyone saying they made mistakes either.
    The day will come.

    Yea, an independent research group did do an analysis and came to the conclusion that the state department did screw up by not having an adequate security force in place for this kind of attack. As far as a conspiracy, they have found nothing. And Hillary said what difference does it make whether they attacked over a video or not... as it is more important to find them. But, carry on. If you guys haven't become any smarter since the event happened, there's really no hope for it ever to happen.

    Let's start with congress working together to get some fresh fiscal policies sent up to the WH to be signed by the president for starters. Our economy has real potential for growth. We could also start with the Keystone pipeline being approved by the president. And I'm now only getting starting with why we need to break the gridlock.

    Time and muddy water have a way of hiding truth and is politics best friend, look at how people still argue about JFK assassination.

    As for Hillary every progressive from coast to coast needs her to run and if she does the truth about Benghazi will be buried.

    So did Hillary find them? They've been interviewed by reporters but did Hillary find them? If not why not?

    With the latest email I believe they have found there conspiracy. If there was nothing to be found this would have died months ago. But when it does start to, lo and behold something else is found. Why do you suppose that is? It's not like Obama has never been caught in a lie. The man has a ton of skeletons in his closet just waiting to be found. Why democrats want to keep defending him is beyond me. I hope you keep your lifejacket close by for when his ship starts to sink, and it will. It's only a matter of time when people who know something start to speak up.

    Yet get the Democrats by the political short hairs, and like most everyone else, the will start to cooperate with congress. Obama, Reid all of them will come around. Clinton did. And to hear Clinton talk, lowering the corporate tax rate was his idea. Imagine that.

    >>>Quoted Post Deleted<<<

    Making mistakes is not a crime. But looking the other way while American soldiers are being fired at, is at best parasitical or at worst outright treasonous. If they weren't prepared to defend the consulate, why did they even have one? Why did they put politics ahead of the truth? The last President to do that was Nixon.

    Benghazi would've been a minor footnote if the Administration flat out said "We were caught off guard by terrorist activity in Benghazi." But no, they came out with the most dubious, laughable lie of the century. Some third-rate movie by a third-rate Non-American producer on the internet(where the African region struggles to maintain access) riled up a bunch of "protesters".

    And how could they even think to be called protesters? The Bundy Group(I don't approve BTW) has done much less and Reid doesn't hesitate to call them domestic terrorists. Is it because they're U.S Citizens? Has it gone so far that the Left would rather support he who is abroad over his own brethren in arms?

    There may very well be a legitimate need for civilian unity in the future, but if the Bundy Group is any indication it would take alot for the Leftist Americans to get involved. Even then, Statism to such an extent might even be justified or called for by these very citizens!

    Sad times America, millions of "Americans" would sooner welcome Aliens abroad, than to defend the U.S border and your own neighbors.

    No one looked the other way. They were well aware of the situation and handled it to their best ability with the resources they had available.

    The first talking point the CIA gave the State Department was that it was linked to uprising around the region, specifically Egypt. Those events did in fact happen over a video. There is even evidence that people on the ground mentioned the video. It's still not even proven that they didn't attack over the uprisings caused by the video. There is no evidence that they planned this attack for any period of time.

    The Bundy Group is pathetic. Please don't be one of those crazies that think the govt is actually afraid of hillbillies with guns? The only thing they were afraid of is if the Bundy's did anything stupid there would have been a massacre of 100s of militia men. And although I can't stand them as people, that would not be a good thing for America.

    The emails didn't even mention Benghazi.

    "The email and the talking points were not about Benghazi," Carney said. "They were about the general situation in the Muslim world."

    Absolutely nothing will come out of this like all the other conspiracies that have been proven wrong. You guys just will never stop, fun to watch though.

    Maybe because they are in Libya and you can't just go in to another country and investigate and arrest people. Just like how hard it was to find Osama and the other leaders. Many of them are still in hiding. Is there a timeline when Hillary would have to find them for you to be satisfied? Lol, you guys are pretty out there.

    The last human being I want working on fiscal policies is the current President. Are you feeling ok? lol.

    I guess the keystone deal would be nice. But they'll figure out away to create some new agency filled unelected bureaucrats to oversee the thing and then we'll be stuck with them trying "help" in some other area.

    So why then would the WH provides emails not related to Benghazi? Only emails relating to Benghazi were requested under the Freedom of Information Act. Are you saying this administration is just incompetent?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I never said anything about Obama working on fiscal policy. We just need him to rubber stamp them.

    This Benghazi thing is blowing up like mad now... I have never seen anything like it. I've felt betrayed but also proud of people I didn't think I was going to ever feel proud of. This must be what it was like to live through Watergate.

    Lmao, you can read the email for yourself.

    http://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/1919_production-4-17-14.pdf#page=14

    It's a broad description of Obama's handling of the uprisings in the Middle East caused by the video. Benghazi is not mentioned once.

    I'm saying the email does not seem like it's about Benghazi, considering the fact it doesn't even mention Benghazi but mentions the other countries that Obama has been in contact with.

    Of course we had no problem setting up an embassy in the wild wild west called Benghazi with the CIA running amok. Not to mention an investigative reporter found one of the attackers in a local hotel bar just several days after the attack. But it took two weeks for the FBI to show up at the consulate which gave looters time to destroy the evidence.
