Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

You mean like how 911 was because "they hate our freedoms"?

Not the same as Hillary telling the American people that the attacks that killed our ambassador and three other Americans were a spntaneous response to a youtube video, while at the same time telling daughter chelsea and a foriegn leader that it was an al queda like terrorist attack.

No Bush quote claiming complicity in the 9/11/01 attacks. You are embarrasing yourself. Give it up.

Yes, in which Bush said was harboring Al Qaeda, who happened to be the masterminds of 9/11. Want me to repost the quote again?

They are desperately clinging onto any distraction available. Even Hillary is attempting such. At one point she was asked a question about emails and she quickly drifted into "no wmds in Iraq".

I think it is very obvious to any thinking person that Hillary and Obama lied to the American people claiming the attack on the compound in Benghazi was over a YouTube video because it was an election year and Obama was running around declaring victory "We have al Qaeda on the run!" That was BS as it turned out to be al Qaeda that attacked Benghazi. They couldn't dare let the truth come out for if they did it might jeopardize his re-election. Truth doesn't matter to these people, only power. The months following it was even more evident that the State Department and this president had lost control in the Middle East. The increased violence in Syria, Iraq falling apart, and Libya turned into a terrorist Hell hole, our embassies being closed down like Yemen where Obama had claimed just months earlier great success in Yemen. And today the violence of terrorist attacks escalating in Israel by Hamas funded by Iran which this president has so fecklessly engaged in policy. Heck even Sarah Palin had Putin pegged. And today thanks to this administration Putin is now bombing those we trained to fight ISIS. It's an absolute farging mess. A mess that this administration owns.

This is such a pathetic case you're making.

There were differing reports at the time. Libyan intelligence reported the video as being related, as per the eyewitness testimony i cited. That information was reported by Fox News, not from President Obama, not from Hillary Clinton, and not from Susan Rice- from Libyan intelligence.

The CIA also had reason to believe that some element of the attack was premeditated by the scale alone.

Whatever statement you're alleging Hillary had made, but you've refused to cite, is completely moot even if i assume you're right.

I cited it.
I didn't make that up.
She told the Egyptian PM it had nothing to do with the video while at the same time, and for long afterward, telling the victim's family it was the video.

It's a little bit silly, these posts about this being the best thing that can happen to her, and Sanders must be jealous, etc... She was proven to have lied about the YouTube video, just another in a long line of lies from this woman.

All this on top of her lack of accomplishments and her mediocre (I'm being nice) career. How in hell is she even considered as a candidate? The left sure has a lack of qualified people to run for office.
Click to expand...

It's hard for me to imagine you being more wrong. And this should be especially embarrassing since i've already explained all of this.

Libyan intelligence based on eyewitness testimony blamed the attacks on the video. One of the attacks explicitly blamed the video. You bumbling about some "youtube lie" is, ironically, just YOU LYING.

She is overwhelmingly more qualified that the republican clown car of morons who have never held public office.

It makes you a very lawless regime, however it does not amount to Bush claiming complicity in the 9/11/01 attacks.

Who's claiming President Bush 2 was complicit?

He did nothing about the attacks in spite of repeated and specific warnings. That's just because he was the worst leader of a POTUS in American history.

No, no you're being silly.

She told the Egyptian PM it was a planned act of terrorism.

That's not inconsistent with the idea that they also claimed the attack was based on the video, a narrative that was backed by solid evidence.

You're just electing to ignore that out of willful ignorance. Frankly, i'm sick of citing it to this deaf audience.

Repeating the same moronic lie... Sigh, this reminds me of Idiocracy "but it's got electrolytes... It's got what plants need."

Libyan intelligence, solid eyewitness testimony, credited the attack on the video. Terrorism is an act of violence with political motives. Attacking a US Embassy in response to the controversial youtube video qualifies as a political motive. So all your bumbling is just stupid on two counts.

Hasn't this conversation went on long enoughfor you to work out that I mean "It does not mean Bush claimed Saddam had complicity in the 9/11/01 attacks?

He did nothing about the attacks in spite of repeated and specific warnings.
Click to expand...

What would you have had him do? There were repeated warnings both during the Clinton and Bush administrations leading up to 9/11/01, however nothing specific. There was intelligence chatter that an attack could come by air however no specifics. Would you have had Bush just shut down commercial air travel in the US as soon as he took office? And to suggest he did nothing is a bald faced lie.

That's just because he was the worst leader of a POTUS in American history.

Nope...the worst Potus in American History is still serving and will leave office in late January of 2017.

You're too much. Are you on the payroll or something? It can't be any clearer.

"We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack -- not a protest,"

THAT is what she told the Egyptian PM.

You can choose to carry on with this denial but not with me.

Did you hear that Hillary claimed she meditated on the breaks.
Seriously.
In DC circles I think "meditation" must be a euphemism for "quaaludes".
She could barely keep her head up.
Did you notice that?
Something was going on with the ol' girl.

I watched the whole damned thing. She looked pretty alert to me, even at 9PM.


Gowdy looked like he was on either coke or meth. What's with that guy constantly rubbing his nose?

Clinton Thanks Benghazi Committee for Invaluable Service to Her Campaign - The New Yorker

Clinton gave special thanks to the committee chairman, Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, who she said “went far beyond the call of duty to help get my candidacy back on track.”

“One lingering question about me as a politician has been whether people like me enough to vote for me,” she said. “I want to thank you, Trey Gowdy, for making me seem likable.”
