    Is this related to the 60 Minutes report? I missed it.

    Go to just about any news site (which I just assumed anyone posting in this sub-forum did anyway)

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/1 ... 52253.html

    Essentially... The reports of all the crazy events that were "covered up" by the president and Secretary of State were made up by an attention seeking guy who nobody really vetted. So we've gone through over a year of tea tards shouting about the "four dead Americans" as if they gave a shit.

    "tea terrorists" and "tea tards".

    Alrighty.

    My first thoughts on this were also about Stevens - how his family must feel...shit, anyone who loved the four who were killed.

    Second, 60 Minutes' credibility has been gone down the tubes for me for awhile now (much like many so-called journalists).

    The link provided focuses more on their ineptitude and lack of accountability than the one from whom they got their misinformation.

    Benghazi didn't happen as the regressives say it did?? :o

    next thing you're going to tell me is that Obamacare doesn't have death panels :fp:

    4 dead americans. Mistakes were made. Learn from them going forward to avoid, hopefully, the same such result in the future.

    All those pointing fingers should do well to take a good look at that hand. There are three fingers pointing back at yourself as well. Any who seek to use or have sought to use this for political gain should be drawn and quartered and drug around DC.

    I've always felt that whole "three pointing back at you" was like telling people "but the back of the bus is where all the fun happens in school..."

    It's often a way to say "we're all guilty here." And no.. in this case, we're not.

    Um... no... the Ambassador is still dead and you know that. Don't try to joke your way out of this.

    The account of what happened and how it happened and why it happened and the resulting Teagasm about "cover ups" and "Obama lies and American DIE" and "THIS IS A SCANDAL THAT TOPPLED NIXON" is what's made up.

    really was refering to washington,

    I do agree with you to an extent, I choose to say it differently.

    yeah... I know that phrase is just a real bone of contention with me. It's been said to me by MANY to respond to my pointing out things like marriage inequality and racial inequality. It's often a way to shrug off any responsibility for any wrong doing.

    And yeah... you probably said it nicer.

    So Benghazi happened because of a Video? The President was not lying? Just like we can keep our insurance if we like it? Obama IS the Storyteller!

    Some bad intel early on doesn't mean anyone was "lying."

    And don't pretend that that's what the whole Benghazi thing is about anyway. You know that the shitstorm wasn't about the bad intel about what the attacks were about.



    As far as the insurance goes... that is an invented crisis created by the health insurance companies as a way to trick people into paying more. My health insurance was "cancelled" because I didn't have one of the things required. So I'm automatically being transferred to a virtually identical plan that's going to cost me $30 less per month. Stop acting like such a spoiled child.

    this kind of shit is what happens when as a society we need an answer now for what hasn't even happened yet.

    If you say "we won't have a statement until all the facts are in" you are trying to cover something up.

    If you say " we believe x happened because of y" because it is the best information you have to go on at the time, you are a liar if it isn't true and were irresponsible.

    If you say "I don't know" you are incompetent and cannot possibly be fit for duty.

    and, by some chance you were right with your quick incomplete intel assumptions, it makes you look worse the next time you weren't because you had gotten it immediately before.

    Keep in mind, all of this happened halfway around the world by a well trained group. And all our leaders have to pussy foot around the real reasons these attacks happen because we are afraid to examine our foreign policy without fucking blinders on.

    Honestly I don't believe much those idiots say. Didn't put much stock in this story to start with

    Too much name calling, negative comments that get personal and are offensive. Talk about the subject...or don't talk.

    And yes, we do care about negative name-calling generalizations directed at your opposition. Don't do it because it violates the Posting Guidelines and we've said it more than a hundred times. The holidays are coming and if it takes some bannings to make it more peaceful around here, it'll be your choice, not mine.
