We leave marching in lockstep to others.<br /><br />And in this case, what matters is that the State Department speak honestly to the guys who write their budget about what persons, policies, and assumptions led to this--and tell about what changes will be made in the same to prevent it happening again.<br /><br />Used to be that Democrats insisted on this kind of thing, Rich. Is politics so important now that we can't ask these questions?<br />Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-87885589685327658332013-05-06T22:53:52.387-05:002013-05-06T22:53:52.387-05:00Earth to Brad and Mark: You need to adjust your fi...<i>Earth to Brad and Mark: You need to adjust your filters.</i><br /><br />Let it play out, dude.

And that's why the NY Times and WaPo and ABC and CNN still can barely bring themselves to admit that President Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld ordered the torture of prisoners in U.S. Custody. These allegedly left wing news sources have carried water for the Bush WH for a decade, but somehow, they are inherently left wing.

I...<i>... bullshit. Of course it would have mattered.</i><br /><br />Indeed, but irrelevant. Do you think for one millisecond the likes of ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. would have let such a thing slide had it happened under Bush. That's the whole point.

It's quite amusing, and gives me a warm fuzzy when I go down the list: TUCC-fail!, Bill Ayers-fail!, Khalidi-fail!, Daley-fail!, Blagojevich-fail!, Wright-fail!, Pfleger-fail!, Jackson-fail! and now, we can add Benghazi! Almost chronological too. Again, thanks.<br /><br />Also, kudos to Anon for at least partially admitting that this is no longer about Obama. This stopped being about Obama on November 9th. It's all about getting Hillary now (And if it had happened under Bush, it would not have mattered to all of you one bit). Is it a tragedy? Absolutely. 4 good men were lost. Were mistakes made? Yes. But US consulates in war zones have been attacked in the past, and Benghazi is no different. The people that take those jobs know the risks, and Ambassador Stevens was a notorious risk-taker...a cowboy of sorts. Trying to make political hay out of a very unfortunate event where 4 Americans died is despicable. And the reason no one outside of the right-wing echo chamber is paying attention is because we have all watched you guys cry wolf on a daily basis for going on 6 years now. Good luck trying to keep this one alive for another 3 or 4.<br /><br />Regards, <br />RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-5021434111788376732013-05-06T12:18:46.158-05:002013-05-06T12:18:46.158-05:00If facts mattered to the new world order, somebody...If facts mattered to the new world order, somebody would never have overcome his associations with TUCC, Bill Ayers, Khalidi, Daley, Blagojevich, Wright, Pfleger, Jackson.......so a little black lie that stands to get a bunch of people killed in the future isn't going to matter.<br /><br />Hope I'm wrong.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-2251515697168490522013-05-06T09:46:48.199-05:002013-05-06T09:46:48.199-05:00Ever wonder when the lies finally catch up with th...Ever wonder when the lies finally catch up with this Admnistration?
