Benghazi dead are white, middle aged men, with families.

That's the enemy of this administration. If they were gay black transgendered unichs living in section 8 housing and called for help on Obama-phones, and were running low on food stamps, every federal agency around would be on the go to save them.

I'm not joking either.

They were pissed . . .

But, were they pissed at Rice? Or were they pissed at Obama because of things Rice revealed to them?

Oh just wait.

When the SHTF, it will blow right in their faces.

The RINO’s usually cave at the last minute to keep us believing they will do something.

How many congress critters looked at all the evidence (of rape and murder) against Clinton and gave him a pass?

The starbucks story of Mary Mahoney is running on TV these days. Apparently the Clinton Snuff Squad thought she was the former intern with an M name.

It was hinted by Isikoff (the guy that buried the Monica story which was exposed by Drudge) that an intern with a name starting with M was about to talk about her affair with Clinton. Just before the whole Monica fiasco became a world wide story.

“During the Waco, Texas massacre the Government filmed themselves shooting and burning women and children.”

The Fedgov also refused to let the NRA x-ray the “illegally” converted weapons to see if it was done before or after the fire.

Whatever compelling evidence exists about this coverup will never see the light of day, either.

I remember discussing the distressed look of the people during the press conference after the 2000 Waco hearings as well:

I saw it live. Thought:
1. Yes, they are disturbed deeply
2. Lined up and B-slapped by Rice with Dear Leader’s approval?
3. Reminded by Morrell that this time of year is poor for canoe trips
4. Fear for their country, or themselves?
5. Wife just finished old TV series called “24” on Netflix,
where is Jack Bauer now that we need him?
6. Nothing on TV is at it appears

I’m honestly a bit surprised by this. McCain has stood up to the politically correct before, and then changed course as soon as the press slapped him down. When he was called in for this interview, that’s what I feared would happen again. Maybe this time will be different? I sure hope so.

Because if McCain and Gramnesty stick to their guns, this betrayal of our ambassador could actually get some more traction.

Thanks for posting

MM: See post 55 and link by Ronald_Magnus to entire presser. This will catch you up to date.

I don’t know why non-responses or defensive responses would make them so upset. Rice even apologized and said she regretted remarks. Causes me to wonder if Morrell strong-armed or delivered some sort of threatening message to them from the Adm.

PS: from Beagle8U

That lady Senator (Anottee?) will be on FOX news at 2pm to talk about it.

If you review page 2 or 3 of that PDF you will see many of the same names that are in the news today on Benghazi. Even Joe Biden.

Term limits, though admittedly un-wise, have now become a necessity to maintain a free and open government.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) (I’m having trouble with that name too)

Thank-you.

Under fire from congressional critics, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice stressed in a Tuesday statement that she did not intend to mislead the public about the September 11th attacks on the Benghazi consulate.

“Neither I nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in this process, and the administration updated Congress and the American people as our assessments evolved,” Rice said.

(snip)

“In the course of the meeting, we explained that the talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: there was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi,” Rice said.

“While, we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case, the intelligence assessment has evolved,” she said.

Rice was next on the interview list, Hillary is probably next. Obama is the target. The evidence is in hand but must be dripped dripped out.

And the Waco Clinton/Reno Government mass murder site was bulldozed as soon as they could get the equipment out there.

To destroy the evidence.

Same with OKC-—the bombing of which made Clinton absolutely giddy with the prospect of this terrorist act making him look good.

It was bulldozed quickly also.

And all reference to the Muslim Islamic terrorist (John Doe 2) was wiped from all news stories.

They wanted to blame it solely on a white guy, and they pulled it off.

Perhaps Rice went in to explain to the Senators that they are powerless, old fools who should learn their place under Obama, or lose it. It’s not like an intelligent exchange could have taken place with Rice as one of the contributors.

That's the take I'm getting from all this. I'm picturing Rice like Judy Holliday in "Born Yesterday" looking at the Senators. "Yeah, so? What'cha gonna do 'bout it, huh?"

“Term limits, though admittedly un-wise, have now become a necessity to maintain a free and open government.”

At least we have Matt Damon making movies like “Green Zone”.

When will the Hollywood epic about this Benghazi coverup come out?

sarcasm off

TY

Those are our lies, and we’re sticking to them, Congress be damned, or stonewalled, as the case may be.

BTW: Did you see this odd piece from yesterday? Couldn’t find a thread on the article.

“Here were some of Klein’s astounding assertions: There are no unanswered questions about Benghazi. Ambassador Stevens had all the security he wanted. Rice’s talking points were “absolutely accurate” — it was a spontaneous demonstration by extremists. Al qaeda was not involved in the attack. Not clear that reports from Stevens asking for more security exist.”

Somebody please give Joe Klein the revised Benghazi talking points

If these fools wanted to really do something for America that is good. They would; but they won’t.
