Senate Investigation: Stevens Didn't Have to Die in Benghazi

That would actually help in this case -- it's kind of like impedance matching in a circuit.

 

Like I said before, what makes people like Basso disgusting is that he WANTS all the allegations against Hillary and Obama on Benghazi true. I would go as far as saying that there is a part of Basso that was exited about the Benghazi attack occurring even at cost of 4 American lives.

 

in protests over the film:

perhaps Obama should be arrested for incitement to riot?

 

This is about all that can be worthwhile said about the Benghazzi "scandal".

 

neocons @ NewYorker note:

The majority members of the committee—the Democrats—concluded that the attacks “were likely preventable.”​

and Hill:

there is a lot that was substantively wrong with the way things were managed in Benghazi. That is true particularly if the subject of discussion is Hillary Clinton. She does not come out well in this report, in any part, although the Republican minority is more florid in its criticisms. The State Department made mistakes when she was its leader. One of the findings is that nothing changed even when “tripwires” meant to prompt an increase in security or suspension in operations had been crossed, and people in the Department knew it.

Why not? She doesn’t really have an answer;​

 

I could be mistaken but from what I understand the report doesn't mention Ms Clinton even once. Is this true?

oh yes....here it is

“I want the record to be clear: I condemn any effort to use this report for political purposes,” “Statements on the Senate floor this morning and some media reports about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan report on the attack against our diplomatic mission and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, intimate that the report assigns culpability to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the tragedy,” “The report approved on a bipartisan basis says no such thing. As a matter of fact, Secretary Clinton is not mentioned a single time in the 58-page bipartisan section of our Benghazi report.”

-- Sen. Dianne Feinstein

 

holding people accountable for their actions (or lack thereof) is "politics?"

 

Mr Stevens loved the Libyans and, apparently they did him. He didn't want to isolate himself and liked to live among them. In hindsight he should have accepted the offers of more security but he didn't. He would have got it. This was a sad tragedy. No one is to blame.

 

except the ****ing Muslim extremists who did it....

I quite frankly find it disgusting that there are certain people on this bbs who display more anger towards Hillary and Obama for the POSSIBILITY that there was some level of incompetence instead of the scumbag extremists who actually killed 4 Americans.

 

If the motivation behind finding who is "accountable" is to gain more ammo for a political party for an upcoming election, then yes.

Are you THAT naive?
Scratch that... Do you think WE are that naive to not see through your bull.

 

Benghazi is not a big deal, but the Chris Christie situation is. Why are they not treated equally?

 

The sad thing is they're happy this happened because they thought it would harm the POTUS.

 

That link is all about the riots, damage, injuries and deaths caused by Innocence of Muslims. Where's the section about how it's all Obama's fault?

 

One involves political corruption and potentially breaking the law. The other was a tragedy that people want to play monday morning quarterback with.

 

it ws an obscure film that no one had heard of until Obama/Hillary tried to use it to deflect blame for their own failures.

 

The obscure film that had 10m hits on Youtube by Sep 14 and had a clip aired on Egyptian television a couple of days before the riots there. The reason for the timing of its sudden infamy was that the director dubbed it over in Arabic and uploaded it to Youtube that week. Then it was promoted by a couple outlets until it got legs in the news circuit of the Egyptian and then Arabic-speaking and larger Muslim world. I think Obama's statement aimed at quelling riots might have raised awareness of the video in the US, but it seems to have already had momentum in the news abroad. In the domain of Muslim protests at American embassy compounds, Obama's condemnation of the video (and maybe even him setting blame for the murder of an ambassador) probably helped more than it hurt, in my view. It was going to bad regardless, but he may have taken some of the wind out of the sails of people who wanted to blame the US for the video. At least it was better than what would have happened if Obama just thumbed his nose at the Muslim world and told them 'this is American freedom of speech; eat it!' -- which is what a lot of partisans said he should have done.
