McCain Rips Obama on Libya at Relief Event
NBC News ^ | Tuesday, October 30, 2012 | Andrew Rafferty

Posted on 10/30/2012 7:10:13 PM PDT by kristinn

ONTARIO, OH — Arizona Sen. John McCain delivered a stinging rebuke of President Barack Obama's handling of the terrorist attack on an American consulate in Libya, saying the commander in chief is either "engaged in a massive cover-up" or is "grossly incompetent."

The 2008 GOP presidential nominee focused his remarks on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Libya rather than Hurricane Sandy at an event in battleground Ohio that had been billed as a "storm relief and volunteer appreciation" event.

"This president is either engaged in a massive cover-up deceiving the American people or he is so grossly incompetent that he is not qualified to be the commander in chief of our armed forces. It's either one of them," McCain told Romney volunteers gathered here at a Victory Center.

SNIP

"I think it's interesting to note that when there was a success, such as when, thank God, we were able to get bin Laden, the administration poured out every single detail, even details that put American lives in danger," McCain said. He later added: "It is my obligation to the men and women who are serving to get the full story out to these four brave Americans have families. They deserve to know why their sons were sacrificed in the needless fashion."

McCain discovers his spine a decade too late, and NBC reports two decades too late.

Hurricane Sandy pounds east coast. Benghazi update.

It is a MP3 podcast by Roger Hedgecock. Roger gets the info from witnesses on the ground.

Here is the Time Line on Benghazi. It starts at 20 minutes into the clip. This is the info that is being suppressed in the drive-by media.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

Tell it to the SEALS, McCain.

Don't like McCain? Me neither. But tell me--what have you heard on this from Mitch McConnel or John the Weeper Boehner or Mickey Cantor or any other chickenshit republican officeholder? Oh and btw, pusillanimous ass-licking "letters to Obama" don't count.

Yep, but if he can get the lamestream to report, that’s all that counts right now.

You are right, and the MSM will have McCain on their shows.

Obama denial!!!

Great questions (skip over Obunga’s bs to the questions and his initial reaction.

a) asks Obummer did you deny...
b) 0:50 asks again Bummer lies/dodges
c) 1:40 Abound Solar, Solyndar - He smirks and then condescends.
d) 5:00 – Civility “bullshitter” comment. Hahah

I’ve never seen a tough interview of him like this. He’s waltzed thru The Spew and Jimmy Kimmel live w/ softball questions.

Don't know if you were watching Greta, but Newt unloaded big time about Libya!
Said more will be coming out in a day or so, confirmed by people in the know that he knows.
Greta ain't letting this go.
Basically help was available, but not allowed to go.

Newt said a senator told him that the word is 2 media outlets have the actual emails telling the military to stand down during the libya battle.

Newt still thinks more Libya revelations are going to drop on Wed/Thur. They have been holding for the storm.

Yes: WEhy is there an “and—or”.

This grossly incompetent Muslim is covering up his incompetence.

I might add he isn’t the only one covering up. There is Hillary and Panetta, and Patreaus.

You don’t fire an Admiral and a General both in the same week.

It is good to tell the truth. Maybe not invariably, but mostly. It isn’t good practically for just anyone to do it. How many people not already mad at Obama will take the word of the guy who lost to him? Seriously.

I have to watch Greta’s replay. DrO has laid down the law. No politics while he’s up until election night. Thanks a lot. Now I have to stay up till 1:00AM.

Bill Clinton knew how to triangulate.
He was a schemer to be sure.

Obama Only knows how to triangulate in one leftwing corner.

He sucks, his sister sucks, his mother sucks, and his father woulda sucked, but I didn’t have a nickle.
