McCain on Benghazi: Yeah, I Got a Pretty Good Idea Why Obama Would Mislead the American Public

I am glad someone besides myself sees it as it is

[mware]

Bernstein is suppose to be on OReilly tonight. The previews to the show indicate they will be talking about Benghazi.

[liberalh8ter]

You know darn well that he is right, you just can not get over your hatred of McCain, who btw votes 99percent with his party

Comparatively, you've just beaten McCain's voting record by a full percentage point when it comes to being wrong about what I "darn well know". For McCain to even entertain the thought of Rice as Clinton's replacement is absurd; making the talk show rounds touting the possibility is absolutely offensive.

[servo1969]

I will forever treat anything John McCain says as suspect ESPECIALLY when he says something I agree with.

The man is a broken clock: Twice a day he’s completely reliable and the rest of the time he’s useless.

I really wish he would just go away. (And take his dipstick of a daughter with him.)

[usconservative]

You know damn well that he is right

Good grief, a broken clock is right twice a day, it as inevitable that McCain would finally be right on something.

BTW: he's not the first to come up with the reason he cited, so it's highly likely he heard what he said somewhere else first.

[Lee'sGhost]

I suspect his biggest motivation is the fact that Xero double dog dared him to bring it on to him instead of poor defenseless Rice (in Xero’s words).

Bottom line is, McLame is a hot head who refused to see the light until Xero verbally punched him in the nose. Then, and only then, did McLame start investing any passion.

Great horny toads Maverick is gettin’ tough four and a half years too late.

“John McCain, John Kerry introduce Libya resolution

Why does it look like McCain is trying to help his good buddy, John Kerry, land the Secretary of State post?

That is why McCain is harping on Susan Rice and the changed talking points, and not a peep out of him on stand-down orders or gun running.

[bgill]

McRino is still a bit slow on the up take.

[IMR 4350]

Nonsense.

This is what's called a coordinated cover-up.

Come up with something that looks bad for Obama that people will accept and you never get to what the truth is.

They did the exact same thing for Clinton with Waco in 1993.

The decision has been made, America can't handle the truth.

[PieterCasparzen]

C) Either stupidity, fear or there was some plot going on that involved the POTUS. The dainty Republicans are politely leaving the stupidity option for the POTUS to take whenever he wants to, but POTUS is not that stupid. The fear option is not true, since POTUS had no trouble pulling the trigger on oSama. That leaves us with a plot.

You too are afraid to say the obvious answer.

The key question is WHY - my answer to the question WHY ? was "That leaves us with a plot."

News media does not ask the question Why did POTUS leave his own Ambassador and staff to die when it would be the worst thing for POTUS to do politically - for POTUS' own political position ?

WHY is the question. Why did POTUS hurt himself politically - just to allow his own people to be killed ?

There was nothing for POTUS to gain by stopping all rescue attempts. If he allowed the rescue attempt he would look far better politically today.

That is why I say a plot. Not incompetence. Not fear.

The plot is NOT that "ooooo Al qada is back which POTUS said he has on the run".

That is NOT the plot - it is a fake distraction story.

Because the fact that USAID (foreign aid), the CIA and the State Department (though they are scrubbing them now) all proclaim on their websites that they are working with various un-named non-governmental (transnational) organizations in the process of effecting political changes for the betterment of the mideast, and that they are trying to talk and work with the muslim brotherhood and pretty much any jihadi front man that wears a suit and tie. This is simply NEVER on the evening news. It is "hidden in plain sight". Funneling arms to Syria from Libya has been reported - one of those MANPADS funneled was used by the Syrian rebels to shoot down a Syrian military helicopter - that was in the news.

The big bad truth they want hidden is...

If all this "working with bad guys and good guys" in the mideast (going on during Clinton, Bush, and nObama) has now resulted in POTUS preventing the rescue... that would mean that POTUS is obviously "not his own man", i.e., he is beholden to some interest other than the Presidency.

It would mean that all these people the U.S. government works with... some person or persons among them has enough control over POTUS for POTUS to allow them to kill (or perhaps kidnap) a U.S. Ambassador.

Benghazi proves that this POTUS is a foreign agent.

Not attempting to rescue a U.S. Ambassador is not a mistake of incompetence no matter how much the media and Repubs suggest it is. It is intentional. And if we can deduce that POTUS is a foreign agent and all the arab spring is produced by NGOs and the CIA, State Dept, we have non-governmental organizations RUN AMOK that are essentially RUNNING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

Actually - this time, your wrong. McCain is seriously pissed because he knows Obama is lying and because Chris Stevens was a personal friend of his. Moreover, the seal parents have spoken with him. He feels like a bit of their representative.

I'm not a big McCain fan but he's been on this for a while - even before the election. The MSM has chosen not to cover this scandal, nor McCain's comments.

[CAluvdubya]

In addition to what McCain is saying, I wish he'd add:
Who told the Seals to stand down. Where was the help for our people in Benghazi?

I don't want these important facts to be overlooked. The "movie protest" talking points is just the tip of the iceberg!

[arasina]

Politico? nuff said

Did you even read the thing? Doesn't matter who published what McCain and Kerry said for the public record. IMO, it points to a buddy-buddy relationship between the two senators and Obama.

[arasina]

Didn't McCain and John Kerry have some kind of joint venture regarding lifting the trade embargo with Vietnam? Or did it have to do with determining that there were no more POWs being held? Or was it the POW thing first, then lifting the trade embargo so they could both make some money? Does anyone else remember something like this?

I'm thinking it involved the two Johns (McCain and Kerry) and perhaps even Bill "BJ" Clinton. The reason I bring this up to begin with is that I believe the root of the Benghazi debacle is BIG money and that's why it is being covered up.

It has been over two months since these murders took place and right about two months exactly since Susan took to the airwaves to repeat this president's lies.

An election has come and gone, and NOW old lord McCain decides it is ok to raise cain. Sorry I have watched this guy for decades and what exactly has he accomplished for US? I would be thrilled to be flat out wrong, but for now I do not think so.

McCain, Kerry Mark Vietnam Normalization (and their betrayal of U.S. POWs and MIAs!)
Newsmax / Voice of Vietnam ^ | 2010-07-16

[Solson]

That’s why I said you’re wrong. McCain has been on this from the beginning and has been pissed. Don’t rely on the MSM for your details.

[arasina]

Ah yes, that's it! I do NOT trust John McCain! He wants too much to be "liked" by liberals at all levels and is way too cozy with Kerry. How else could he have produced such a flaming leftist daughter? I suspect he would love to see John Kerry as Secretary of State.

_{(What bothers me is that he fooled a good conservative woman (SP) into thinking he is an honorable person because he was a POW.)}
