Benghazi Index
Yes, but not eight months after the fact and with just a teensy weensy more interest and fervor.
How does WAPO intend to spin this in zero’s favor? Oh yeah, It’s Bush’s fault.
The libtard comments at WP are all over the map....signaling complete panic. It is amusing to read their pitiful excuses for their pathetic messiah and Hillary.
WOW!
Not Fox, not RUSH, Not WND!
Washington Post!
Well, hillary suffered a concussion, partial amnesia and doesn’t recall anything from that timeframe. Anything blamed on her by others are the despicable acts of political opponents who know she cannot defend herself due to amnesia. /s
How could they have known that ahead of time unless al Qaeda call and tell the DOD that the attack was going to last a certain number of hours?
For all DOD knew, the attack could have continued for days.
I mean, it's as silly an excuse as saying that certain units weren't deployed on D-Day because they couldn't have gotten there before the coast was taken.
Ahead of time, how the heck do they know how long an attack is going to last?
Here’s the deal... if it was finally discovered that Obama was negligent, and even ordered special forces to stand down when they could have protected the mission, he would be liable for impeachment.
But let’s ask ourselves this question — HOW LIKELY IS THAT?
High crimes and misdemeanors is a phrase from the United States Constitution, Article II, Section 4: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Which one does Obama’s fault come under? High crime or misdemeanor?
Let’s say that got out of the way and Obama gets indicted for high crime or misdemeanor, how can he be impeached?
It can be attained by a simple majority vote in favor of impeachment, by House members present, for the full resolution of the impeachment, or any article of the impeachment.
Once the vote in favor of impeachment has been attained, the House informs the U.S. Senate of the outcome, and then chooses some House members to act as prosecuting attorneys, called “managers”.
The U.S. Senate prepares to try the impeachment case, during which, it will hear the arguments of both sides. In the case of the impeachment of a U.S. President, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings. In order to convict the defendant in an impeachment trial, the hearing requires
1.) a vote in favor of conviction equal to or exceeding two-thirds of the members of the U.S. Senate present, and
2.) a quorum of a simple majority of U.S. Senators. According to Article 1, § 3 of the U.S. Constitution: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
This is going to be a tall order. First, the GOP will have to take over the Senate in 2014. If the impeachment occurs before that, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY Obama will be removed from office via impeachment.
How much does anybody want to bet this person backs off from the accusation before testifying before Congress?
Leon Panetta testified before Congress that he and the head of the Joint Chiefs decided to not send troops into the situational conflict unfolding at the US consulate in Benghazi because they did not have enough real time info. Basically the same thing the hildahag said; she didn’t have enough info to act. These are also the obozo hussein’s talking points on just about everything under his watch, nothing is ever his fault because he wasn’t informed or didn’t know. When it comes to the power these people wield and the people and technology they have at their disposal, ignorance doesn’t cut it as an excuse.
Perhaps the author of the article should research the distance between Tripoli and Benghazi.
Benghazi’s Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give Cross-Border Authority
By me, last year.
