With Hillary testifying, GOP gets its Benghazi moment
According to U.S. Sen. John McCain, the Obama administration has conducted a coverup of “massive proportions” regarding the assassination of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi last year. Other Republicans have implied that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was so terrified of having to testify before Congress that she faked a major illness (”Benghazi fever”) to avoid the appearance.
Well, today will be the day to put up or shut up. Clinton will testify, alone, before committees in both the House and Senate. If McCain has evidence for his claims, let’s see it. If there’s something so earth-shaking about the Benghazi tragedy that Clinton was quaking in her boots at the prospect of being asked about it, this would be the time to bring that information forward.
GOP presidential hopefuls Rand Paul and Marco Rubio also sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, giving them the opportunity to do battle with a potential opponent in 2016, should they choose to do so. Clinton enters the hearing with 65 percent of America viewing her favorably, and only 29 percent unfavorably. After all the braying on the right about Benghazi, this is their chance to make the charges stick, in public.
Again, should they try to do so.
An investigatory blue-ribbon board appointed by the State Department has already outlined operational failures and deficiencies that contributed to the deaths of Stevens and three brave members of his team. It also calmly and factually repudiated fanciful claims by the conservative media that the Obama administration could have intervened militarily but chose not to do so.
That report implicated Congress as well, noting that “the solution requires a more serious and sustained commitment from Congress to support State Department needs, which, in total, constitute a small percentage both of the full national budget and that spent for national security.” The metric often bandied about in Washington is that the Pentagon has more authorized personnel in military bands than the State Department has professional diplomats.
Again, there is no question that the Benghazi tragedy revealed important lapses of judgment among State Department personnel, including Stevens himself, as well as institutional problems within the department. Clinton, who will soon be leaving office, has acknowledged those problems and pledged to correct them, a task that her probable successor, John Kerry, will have to continue. As part of its oversight function, Congress has every right to press Clinton on the progress she has made.
But since news of the Benghazi attack first broke, Republicans in Congress and the conservative media, led by Fox News, have tried to portray it as something much more sinister. McCain, for example, suggested that Benghazi was worse than Watergate, the scandal that ended Richard Nixon’s presidency. Such claims have always seemed grossly exaggerated based on the available facts, but again, if he and others have the evidence to back such hyperbole, this is their chance to present it to the American people.
I’m betting they don’t.

I have found that the DEMs (not unlike GOP) posters as well as Jay and other pundits, don’t like or subscribe to any challenge whether as a result of good governance, challenges of BO, and most certainly the key scientific process of skepticism….
First reaction is always to defend or find some one-sided data that supports the answer that was pre-determined. Boths sides have no new tactics except to try to ourshout the other and disguard individual analysis…
Challenge and skepticism is a good thing….

Can’t speak for others, but I have posted here several times exactly why I thought the “video story” would’ve been every bit as damaging to Obama’s re-election prospects if it had turned out to be accurate. I have challenged conservatives to provide solid evidence for why I was incorrect, and I got absolutely nothing of consequence in reply.

“Party affiliations aside, if Ms. Clinton has been unable to testify about Benghazi for over a month due to “health reasons”, is she fit to be Secretary of State?”
I think it’s difficult to determine at confirmation hearings if a nominee will ever become ill.
If they do, I think doctors are pretty good at determining if a person is able to continue in their duties.

Regarding the truth, can you imagine how much we really don’t know about what is happening behind the scenes politically? My bet is that the less we know, the better for the status quo. Perhaps we only get half of every story for reasons not clear on the surface.
IMO, truth is premised on the idea of actually having all the “facts” including those we are not privy to, to ascertain the truth. The fact that we will never get all, is why so much grey area exists that ultimately turns from debate to insults..
One example that comes to mind is why did Romney pipe down on the issue after being briefed on such matters? We can politically speculate but we one thing is for certain, we likely don’t know half the story.

From what I understand Ambassador Stevens went to this particular area because of his familiarity with the people and his perceived security amongst them. Now it should be said that he was secure in his movements among these people under Col. Quaddafi. Stevens may have believed his prior ease of movement was due to his own affability and congeniality and was not due to the environment created by the deposed leader but again this would place the responsibility for his demise on his shoulders.
It had been reported that Ambassador Stevens went to this area, an area “secured” by a local militia, without the prior approval of the State Department as it has been said he was known to do.
It was a mistake in judgment on the Ambassadors part but no one want’s to blame a man who was serving his country for his own demise even if the cause was simply his own bad call. It was just a mistake.

Political views are indeed more important than human life to the simple minded
Amazing that the same conned who have lost all reality over the death of a ambassador at the same time profess over and over again that the answer to gun violence is more guns
And yet, we have reports the Ambassador was denied requested protection. Once again, this is a case of the good guys not having the guns and the bad guys having them.
If you think guns aren’t a deterence to violence, I point you to the parade route bammy took on Monday. Over 20,000 ARMED police and who knows how many Secret Service guys and who knows what else was around.
An armed society is a polite society.

You love to post that but you never support your assertion.
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?

td – what part of the quote do you disagree with?
It might bear repeating that the video in question HAD already sparked violence, elsewhere. td and others seem to have forgotten that.
Pure horse doo doo and you know it. The video had less the 100,000 hits on youtube before the riots started.
Uh Huh....GOP grab a cigarette now that you have had your Benghazi "MOMENT"

Thanks for the historical comparison. It’s funny how so many fail to make the connection to prior events. Maybe because it would throw cold water on their agenda.

The only thing I can figure is the cons are just into making fools of themselves on camera. At least this time it wasn’t a hidden camera so I suppose that’s a positive.

I heard a good comparison recently that equated American politics to football… complete and unending loyalty to your “team” (Dems or Reps) and the other side must be perpetually trashed because, as you know, its “team” first, America second. We have earned and deserve this horribly inept leadership because we allow it to continue through every election cycle.

Seems the definition of “holy” has changed over time…what do you suppose it means today?
Oh, I don’t really know. I use the term figuratively myself only on occasion (i.e., an “unholy alliance.”)

“Which ones are the “unholy” denominations, Scout?”
1) For starters ……. any that assist in the killing of our precious unborn.
2) Here’s another example given for any church or denomination who fits the description:
“To the angel of the Church in Laodicea write:
“These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” Revelation Chapter 3
