Well said!
Forget about Benghazi and Fast and Furious. Nothings going to happen.
He won.
And, THIS, my FRiends is EXACTLY what is wrong with the RNC.
They are such linguini-spined cowards, not ONE of them has the intestinal fortitude to come out and actually blame zero and company for what happened at Benghazi!!
With these kinds of cowards in office, it is no wonder that the RNC keeps getting slaughtered during elections - not a single one of them will EVER tell the truth about the Dems or FIGHT for issues like voter ID laws!!
I am sick to death of these gutless cowards!!
The admin successfully ran out the clock on this thing before the election and Mitt assisted by not saying a word about it.
This will die a slow death methinks. It's not on anyone's radar screen and what does come on the screen will be crushed with ridicule, racism or hidden by classification or executive privilege.
Nothing will come of this anymore.
But just FYI, this is exactly what Benedict Arnold did to commit his treason. He thinned out the security at the West Point post to the point that it could be taken, then he sent word to the british through Major Andre that the post could be easily taken for 20k pounds.
But, like I said, this is a useless fight now. America's gone back to their lives and aren't in political mode any more. too many good Chinese deals at Walmart.
We need to know:
Who gave the order to the military to stand down and NOT implement plans to rescue our people in Benghazi on 9-11-12? When? WHY??

Is Benedict a translation of Barak?
Is Arnold a translation of 0bamma

They only did it because it was easy and the French led the way. [As with anything else the Democrats get the US involved in.]
I’ve seen MANPADS mentioned on FR several times before. What are they, and what’s the poop as they relate to this Obama/Benghazi mess?
“Why did Obama use American personnel, money, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya? Gaddafi was a bad guy? How about Castro then? He’s only 90 miles away. The Democrats wet their pants over Reagan helping the insurgentgs fighting communist thugs in our own backyard in Nicaragua. Now, the Democrats are fine with overthrowing Gaddafi? Something stinks here. “
Gee. Ya think? Can’t tell you how sick I got of Democrats singing “Iran Contra” over and over, with the help of “celebrities” singing it endlessly. - Sort of like “Bain Capital” for Romney.
Virtually all of the noise from both sides is a coverup. Where is the discussion from ANYBODY in congress about the embassy facilitation weapons going from Benghazi to the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria???
I didn’t say F&F. Unless pardoned, a bunch of Justice Department officials, in or out of their offices, as well as BATF&E, and others, are facing criminal indictments after Obama is out of office. They are safe until them. So though F&F will continue to be investigated, and kept on the back burner, it will live again.
But Benghazi is pretty much defunct as an issue. It happened in Libya, which was obligated by treaty to protect our embassy and its property, and they did not. Just about every question that can be raised about it falls flat.
A weak response, no response, shuffling blame, none of this is criminal. It just shows Obama and his crew have a piss poor foreign policy. Obama himself is above impeachment, because of the senate.
Now compare this to the “fiscal cliff”, sequestration, raising the debt cap, Obamacare, and massive tax hikes ALL happening at about the same time. Millions more unemployed, massive cuts to the military, we are talking about some terrible stuff here.
Sorry, Benghazi is just a waste of time, and nothing will come of it, ever.
This is the same dynamic duo that balled up in a room with RINO RUBIO to pass an amnesty bill.
Kyl and Hutchison are profound experts at “blowing to the galleries”.. then they conveniently take NO action and disappear into the woodwork with the rest of the political “cockroaches.”
Ms Hutchinson, you say it wasn’t an embassy but rather a consulate. That would have been the perfect time to raise the question “why was our ambassador in a consulate instead of an embassy on the anniversary of 9/11 after having said that he feared for his life?”
Benghazi does not matter? not as important as other issues? Waste of time?
I’d like to hear you say this if one of those murdered were your own loved one!
A CIC not defending his people whom he sends in harm’s way is not as important as the other issues?
A ‘president’ can get away with murder?
HE CAN LIE, COVER-UP, BE LAWLESS ALL HE WANTS, BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO NOT THINK IT MATTERS!
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
This generation of new voters went for Obama in huge numbers. THEY will be the ones that will pay the price for it after I am gone. This country is strong and resilient and it will take a while for the musical chairs to play out and fully go down the tubes. But it will happen and it will be ugly.
So I say to the Obama 20-something generation (excluding my kids of course) - F em. I've done my part. I also don't see why anyone would want their kids to join the military and fight and die for these SOBs either.
The POTUS has effectively been above the law since Marbury v. Madison (1810). However, since then, their power has increased to the point where they can frequently violate the law, with only the ineffective threat of impeachment to stop them.
In recent years, the POTUS has been able to co-opt legislative and judicial powers without opposition or even challenge. And though cabinet officers can be impeached, only one ever has been, and then only after he resigned.
The house citing the Attorney General for contempt of congress has become meaningless.
When commerce secretary Ron Brown was assassinated for selling National Security Agency secrets to the Chinese, it was done in such a way as to assure everyone that it had been ordered by the government, if not at the sole order of the POTUS.
When senior officials of both parties were asked about this, they all gave the same unresponsive and bizarre response, that “It is against the policy of the United States to assassinate foreign officials.”
Obama is openly responsible for dozens, perhaps hundreds of directed homicides via drone, which many around the world would call indiscriminate murder. But such directed homicide is also pro forma of the Special Operations Command (SOCOM), who have been conducting their own war parallel to the conventional war.
You asserted that I don’t think that this matters. That is incorrect. But it matters not just because of Obama, but because this is what the office of the POTUS has become. The office itself needs significant reform, and reduction in its unbridled authority, because now it is approaching, or has become, the much feared “imperial presidency”.
Benghazi does not matter. It is a pebble in an ocean, soon expecting a tsunami. It is tragic that four Americans lost their lives. But Americans are being killed by terrorists on a daily basis.
I don’t believe one single Obama voter cares one iota about Bengazi. It could be proven without doubt there was a serious cover-up and dem voters will not care. They want Obama no matter what he does.
