‘President Rand Paul’ would have fired Hillary post-Benghazi
In his discussion with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this morning, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky imagined himself as president of the United States. Had he been in that lofty position, he told Clinton, he would have removed her from office:
“I’m glad that you’re accepting responsibility. I think that ultimately, with you leaving, that you accept the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11. And I really mean that. Had I been president at the time and I had found that you had not read the cables from Benghazi, you had not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post. I think it’s inexcusable….”
“I think it’s inexcusable that you did not know about this, and that you did not read these cables. I would think by anybody’s estimation Libya has to have been one of the hottest of hot spots around the world. Not to know of the requests for security really, I think, really, cost these people their lives. Their lives could have been saved had someone been more available, had someone been aware of these things, more on top of their jobs.”
Rant concluded, Paul then posed a question (2:21 in the video above):
“Is the US involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey, out of Libya?
“To Turkey?” Clinton responded, her body language suggesting that she found the question bizarre. “I will have to take that question for the record. That’s … Nobody has ever raised that with me.”
“It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya, and that they may have weapons,” Paul responded. “And what I would like to know Is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, Turkey included.”
“You’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex,” Clinton said pointedly.
The agency that ran the annex is the CIA.
The “news reports” that Rand referred to are anonymously sourced stories on Fox News and on right-wing websites alleging that the CIA was buying up weapons in Libya and shipping them to Turkey and then on to Syrian rebels, including to known jihadist groups. Glenn Beck has been pushing the conspiracy theory as well.
It is not inconceivable that the U.S. has assisted the flow of arms out of Libya and into Syria, although given how spectacularly wrong Fox has been proved to be on other anonymously sourced reports involving Benghazi, I wouldn’t give its reports a lot of credence. Given national security implications, I’m also not sure that Paul acted responsibly by raising the issue in a public hearing.
If he was actually seeking information, rather than playing to the conspiracy crowd, he has more private means of getting answers as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He runs the risk of endangering U.S. lives by doing it in public, without apparently knowing the possible ramifications.
I wonder what President Rand Paul would say about somebody who did that?

SR: First, I recall that the prior incidents you suggest were subject to the same level of scrutiny.
You’d be recalling wrong.
SR: Anyhow, point is what do those other situations have to do with this one?
It’s called comparing apples to apples. Ask your teacher what that means when you get a chance.
SR: Why is it a witch hunt?
Mainly because they already KNOW why the security was so lax — they didn’t have the MONEY to improve it.
SR: We have a right to know why the post event communication was suspect to say the least..
Actually no you don’t. Unless you have the clearance necessary OR are in a position to make a diference to the end result, you really have no business with the knowledge.
The Senate HAS an intelligence committee — there are things that our intelligence community is doing that the average “Joe” doesn’t need to know and the WORLD really doesn’t need to know about.
Its called perspective. Ever since Obama was elected AND reelected, it seems that the Conned have lost theirs.

““I don’t recall that Romney ever released 10 years of returns, so how do you know how “accurate” it is?”
Yes, unlike our glorious leader, people like Romney are to be presumed guilty until proven otherwise. As far as we can tell, Reid’s so-called “baseless” charge is perfectly true. And anyone who doubts it is a liar, nutjob or racist. Let’s get on to more important things, like proving GWB orchestrated 9/11.’

“But, but, but …………. Jay ………. it wasn’t even a “terrorist” attack !”
Are you finally ready to answer with a clear, consise, on-point answer in the best military tradition?
“Here’s what Jay wrote:
“1.) The premise of the entire debate is false, because the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was not an act of terror. An act of terror, by definition, targets the civilian population and attempts to inflict terror on that population. This was a military operation/assassination, targeted not at civilians but at the top American presence in Libya and, indirectly, at the armed guards who protected that presence. It was an attack on the United States and its interests.
Calling it an act of terror confuses the issue. However, we prefer that confusion. That confusion allows us to place this attack safely within our preferred War on Terror narrative and casts America as the innocent victim of nefarious, brutal men rather than as a major player contending for some share of power and influence in Libya, which is what we are.
September 11 was an act of terror. The truck bombing that killed 241 Marines in their barracks in Lebanon in 1983 was not an act of terror. Attacks on our forces in Afghanistan are not acts of terror. And neither was this.
2.) The Obama administration, for reasons that remain unclear, balked at calling it either an act of terror or a direct military operation. They initially preferred a third category, describing it as a mass protest that got out of hand. And while that characterization may have reflected initial and incorrect intelligence about the attack, they clung to that characterization long after it had become clear that it was false. ”
Now, maybe you can help us if your memory is clear enough to remember all those professional military education books you were reading as a low-ranking enlisted guy in a foxhole. Or maybe it’s from the briefings you attended later in life.
Care to define for us an act of terror vs a military action that contradicts what Jay wrote and draws a clear distinction between each?”

Yet again Rand shows how different he is from his father. Ron would have used the opportunity to ask hillary why the attacks took place, why we are involved in various revolutions and arming al queda linked terrorists with the same rifles Obama and the dems want banned here for private citizens, the impact of the drone strike war on civilians, and basically the entire concept of interventionism and blowback instead of what would sell to government-educated RversusD citizens.

Well, you may want to look at the 1983 commission on the Beriut situation. Bush’s Iraq idiocy has been the fuel of political change and more scrutiny than I can recall.
Comparing a 1983 event in Beruit to a 2012 event in Libya is not credible since the 29 years difference has seen much change to render any comparison moot.
It’s a witch hunt since you already know the answer in your mind? This, Bush’s idiocy, Clinton’s sexual excapades and the like are all worthy of scrutiny and those who are too quick to rush to judgement are fearful that their politics may be tainted.
We do have a right to know about the communication to the people after the fact. So you can tell me this wouldn’t be your opinion if this happened under GOP watch?
I find too often folks here and other forums I play at have the answer in mind before all the chips are on the table. The fact pattern of timing and communication faux pas alone speak to the need for this…

“Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China. Mitt Romney will fight for every American job.”
Here’s the clever aspect of this: Taken apart, each clause in those two sentences is true, or at least defensible. But put together, they’re implying that Mr. Obama’s actions have led to Jeep jobs jumping to Beijing. That’s not true. It’s an assertion that the fact-checking website Politifact says “throws reality into reverse.”

Come on, you’ve come this far. Cough it up.
Would it be… the Mennonites, who say this on the subject (emphasis mine)?
http://www.mcusa-archives.org/library/resolutions/statement_abortion.pdf
We stress the importance of respect for the life of the fetus. We condone abortion only under the most exceptional of circumstances. When abortion appears to be the least bad choice among several undesirable options, we stress the need for discernment in the faith community. Because of the diversity of moral conviction in our society, we realize that what the law permits is not necessarily moral behavior for the Christian. We believe, however, that the church should witness to society in favor of the “general presumption against any human decision to terminate
life.”
We will offer counsel about alternatives to abortion.
While many could support legislation which seeks to curtail some types of abortion, we recognize that legislation banning all abortions will not stop abortions from happening. Instead, it places sanctions on those women who choose abortion, without regard for the fathers involved or the fact that the women are already suffering the consequences of their choice. It also disproportionately affects the poor, as those with means will find ways to obtain safe abortions. Further, legislation is using the government to force others to comply with our Christian standards, something our
forebears clearly rejected. We believe that the demands of discipleship are to be accepted voluntarily, not imposed legally upon everyone regardless of conviction.
Well, Scout? is THAT denomination among the “baby killers?”
Because they quite sensibly recognize that criminalizing abortion would be immoral?

Since Christianity is not a religion, are Christian denominations a non- subset of that non-religion?

oh, and in case you missed this bit at the beginning of that statement:
Human life is a gift from God to be valued and protected. We oppose abortion because it runs counter to Biblical principles.
• The fetus in its earliest stages (and even if imperfect by human standards) shares humanity with those who conceived it.
Are you saying that those^^ folks think abortion is “just fine”?
Well?

Rand and the rest of the conspiracy crowd are not interested in American lives. The loss of 4 Americans in Benghazi means little or nothing to them.
Doing anything and everything they can to make Democrats look as bad as possible is of primary importance. Whipping up a conspiracy and endangering American lives is fine with them if it will win votes in 2014.
It’s important their tool electorate remain gullible and believe anything the’re told by Republicans. This seems to be a sure bet.
I wonder if other countries have as many dirt dumb voters as we do?

By the way, I am probably risking a yellow card for even bringing this up–Jay’s asked me to give it a rest, in the past–but if Scout is going to continue to mis-characterize Jay’s earlier column, and continue to point at a grotesquely out of context quote to back his ridiculous assertions, I will continue to hound him on an outrageous statement Scout made, and can’t back up.

Where and exactly how severe would this carnage be characterized?
How on earth can anyone judge on Secretary of State with another? One could argue that under Hillary, the Middle East has errupted in the worst chaos ever…fallacious argument of course but the idea of comparing or scoring secretaries of state is not really objectively possible.

Before showing up at this hearing to fake outrage at security measures,
which would cost millions of EXTRA dollars,
Rand Paul – wait for it –
“R. Paul Proposes 71% cut in State Dept Funding”
i think an Irony gene transplant is the only thing that will save
the cons now.

Did you ever see the movie “Will Penny”? If you did, you might remember the antagonist, if you didn’t, get it. You might recognize someone…

The lower the education level
The lower the percentage of college graduates.
The redder and poorer the state is.
All the wealthy blue states with high percentages of College grads all went to Obama.
The dirt poor Southern states with low levels of education went to Romney
Very very telling.
