Tomorrows hearings on Benghazi will define the Obama presidency if the truth is finally allowed to be told. I encourage everyone to tune in and hear the revelations that are long overdue. Well also see whether the presidents reliable lapdog cheerleaders in the media will continue to cover up for him and in so doing disgrace their profession. The following link is to something I posted way back on October 25th of last year asking questions that we should have had answers to long ago.
- Sarah Palin
There are many questions about the Benghazi attack that Americans deserve answers to. Its been too long an investigation and too tragic for the families of lost loved ones for the White House and its friends in the media to ignore these questions:
- When and why did the YouTube trailer of the anti-Muhammad movie surface as any kind of credible reason for the attack?
- Where is the proof that that video was linked to Benghazi? Its a weak excuse to claim some supposed rumored link between Benghazi and the attacks on our embassy in Cairo. Benghazi was very different. Spontaneous protestors dont come armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
- What was the Presidents response to the previous Benghazi embassy attacks in April and June? Why did officials ignore the requests for beefed up security to protect Americans after these attacks?
- Why did the Obama Administration assume a YouTube video was the reason for the Benghazi attack but not all the evidence to the contrary from the postings and emails that circulated that night in real time as the attack took place and Americans were being killed? And why werent those emails disclosed until this week?
- Why did the Obama administration spend our tax dollars to make and air television ads that ran in the Middle East apologizing for the YouTube video when they had so much credible evidence that it was nothing but a red herring?
- How much did President Obama know about this? In an interview he gave to CBS News on September 12, President Obama alluded to the fact that the Benghazi attack was notas his U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials were characterizing ita spontaneous protest triggered by the Cairo embassy attack and the video. He told CBS News in that interview, my suspicion is that there are folks involved in [the Benghazi attack] who were looking to target Americans from the start. If he suspected this then why did he allow his administration to continue blaming the attack on the YouTube video? And why didnt CBS News call him out on this when his comments in their interview with him, which they didnt air until a month later, belie the administrations YouTube narrative?
Someone in the media must demand answers. Until the media does its job to give us the Who What Where When and Why of this cover-up, there will be even less trust for this cornerstone of our democracy if less trust and respect for the media is even possible today. We sincerely want to be able to trust the media. We need to be able to trust them. Their job is so important, and we appreciate all the good journalists in America. Our troops fight to protect all our freedoms including the freedom of the press.

Because it's THEIR red herring!
IF
Therein lies the crux.
Oh, he cares. But I guess he is confident that the phalanx of reporters will pour out a torrent of words to keep him from having to answer the questions that Plain proposes. He hopes in the end to be more popular than ever.
They’ll (radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbag socialists) do their darndest to keep the truth covered and lies will fly. Except for the eye witnesses. They may tell the truth but they will be vilified and called liars by the dems who will protect their own like no tomorrow. When the dust clears king hussein will be unscathed as will the hildebeast.
...and how many countless hours were spent on the Watergate hearings? ..and shown live on television on all the major networks?
Your post makes me near sick,sometimes the truth can do that!
Well, there you have it.
The media were all against Nixon.
” if the truth is finally allowed to be told.”
Well... historically, that rarely happens.
Eerie.
My apologies. It sucks I know. Maybe I just don’t have enough faith in the “powers that be” anymore. Hopefully I will be proven wrong. At least I’m hopin’ so. This is one time I would be more than happy to say: “Man was I WRONG on that!” Of course we’d be facing 3+ years of jojo biteme being in charge. The gift that keeps on giving.
My point exactly. Like that other poster put it. It makes me sick too, but that is reality.
Issa is in charge of this hearing.
He doesn’t suffer fools or outrageously rude demonic-rats.
My GOD we have defeatists around here! It’s unreal!
As much as I hate to say it i’d much rather deal with stupid rather than evil for the next 3+ years.
Without the complicit news media, this would be over and he would be impeached, regardless of Senate demonic-rats.
I don't think I would call it unreal. The politicians have priors, and under most conditions, will do the wrong thing virtually every time. Like rktman, I would love to be wrong, but, as I mentioned, they have priors.
Roger that. Only problem is stupid can also cause a lot of damage. Trust me I’ve worked with stupid. Thankfully not jojo.
A lot of people (eyewitnesses or whistleblower) who apparently are not on TeamObama/Hillary will have to die or be silenced to stop the truth from eventually coming out. I don’t see that happening without major alarms going up
Before, in other scandals there were a lot of enablers who protected Obama but this seem different. They were there and are contradicting O and Hillary
