Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help [W:84]

Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

What's he attempting to cover up? The results of an investigation that hasn't been concluded yet? How dare he not set up a public website so we can all see in real time how they're tracking down the perpetrators! I'm sure the perpetrators would have the common decency not to peek. That wouldn't be cricket.

If Obama knew what was happening, he covered it up.
If Obama didn't know what was happening, he should not have gone on television and sent out his representatives to accuse a video that had no part in what happened in Benghazi or in Tunisia.
And if Obama was not fully briefed on what happened within hours that it was known--like within 24 hours when the rest of us knew--he should fire everybody who should have informed him.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

The motivation behind a cover up is because there's proof that for months, the Ambassador, along with many others, had requested additional security in Benghazi. They warned of attacks, and in fact, the consulate had already been attacked several times this year.

No additional security was granted. Then the 9/11 attack happened, and people were killed.

It's a fair criticism to ask why additional security was denied. And it hurts Obama politically when people find out that they were asking for more security, but none was granted.

There's your motivation for cover up pal. A pretty simple explanation, and one a 9 year old could deduce.

There are any number of reasons why any of those things could be the case.

But you need a report to cross check them.

You fool....his administration lied for 13 consecutive days about what caused this attack. THAT'S A COVER UP. They didn't tell us about the emails. They didn't tell us about the live drone feed. They didn't tell us about Ansar al Sharia claiming responsibility just 2 hours into the attack. We've learned everything we've learned through other media sources, not the White House.

These guys spent 2 weeks telling the world that the attacks were the result of a protest gone wild over a muhammed video. THAT'S A LIE. We know it, and now everyone else knows it too.

He's attempting to cover up the fact that for months leading up to the attack, numerous requests were made to increase security in Benghazi, but they were all denied. That resulted in the deadly attacks on a full fledged US Ambassador.

Adam, doesn't look good when an Ambassador asks for more security in a hostile country, doesn't get it, and a few months later is dead! Obama is covering it up so he doesn't lose an election! This is elementary stuff here, and you half-witted liberals cant seem to figure it out!
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

It is well documented that protests across the Middle East were spurred by the YouTube video.

The difference between Obama and Romney isn't so great I would sacrifice my honesty for it.

On the other hand, having him win so people like you can be miserable might be.

You mean the protests that happen all day, every day over there? Keep digging that hole.

And you're honesty went out the window a LONG time ago if you've continued to support this yahoo with a straight face for this long.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

military commanders in that region have so stated---and put their career's at risk to do what is right.

Which ones?

Fox has put out the entire story, the obama media continues to cover it up. But this is too big, it will come out--all of it.

the ex joint chief for one.

What is his name? I really will go check it out. And if he is ex, how does he know?

Mullen, I think. There was also another general, but I don't recall his name.

he is a Fox "insider" and was replaced years ago.

mak2 is simply deflecting with his questions.

FOX is the source here because FOX is who the people who know the truth are going to.

They trust FOX to put it out there. Simple as that.

The people who were there, on the ground, and survived, are talking to FOX.

Simple really.


Who, name names?

It has been acknowledged and verified that Obama himself was informed that was indeed the case by the officials and agencies beneath him. If someone made a mistake, it can be immediately accredited to the President.

I'm not sure why there has to be a mistake though. Widespread protests that seemed to exist seemed to be spurred by the YouTube video (or by protests in Cairo about the YouTube video). Such protests would be a great opportunity for a terrorist attack.

It's pretty clear that no one knew exactly what was happening in first few days. We still don't know exactly what happened. But obviously the president had to make a statement and I don't think it was unreasonable to relate what the initial theory was. Obviously in retrospect it would have been better to say nothing at all about it, but you never know what crazy **** the wingnuts are going to zero in on. If it's not this it's his wife clapping her hands. Or him saying the word "optimal". There are obviously those for whom anything the president does is the work of the devil.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

What I see is someone who thinks Fox News is a legitimate news source. They don't report the news, they make it up.
And what I see is someone clinging to hope that this whole thing can just get swept under the rug.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

There are any number of reasons why any of those things could be the case.

But you need a report to cross check them.

Oh, you mean like the 13 State Department reports? None of which mention a protest, nor a video by the way......

You mean like the declassified emails that have been released this week? You mean like the transcripts of sworn testimony before congress this month?

Yes, I've cross checked many things with those documents......guess what.....Obama and his administration lied their asses off. They promoted the muhammed video story in an effort to blame it on that, and not terrorism, because for months the Pres. has been talking about what a great record he has on fighting and preventing terrorism.

Look man.....it's obvious you haven't kept up with everything that is being released. If you had, you would clearly understand how the information being released this week, completely and utterly contradicts the statements of the administration. In other words, IT PROVES THEY LIED!

For instance, in the VP debate, Joe Biden said, "we weren't told anything!", and "we didn't know anything!". Emails released this week PROVE that's a lie. They knew within 50 minutes what was going on, because Obama had a meeting in the Oval Office with Panetta and HIllary just 50 minutes into the attack. That's just ONE LIE that was told.

Go read up, you'll spot the others, just as we have!

A correct response would be that I haven't jumped onboard the conspiracy nut train.

I live in the world of due process. The report has to be composed. Everyone will get the opportunity to pick it to pieces.

Note - the emails aren't convincing.

You ironically forget that they repeated the "video" story for 13 consecutive days, not just a couple. 14 days after the attack, Obama addressed the UN, and delivered a speech in which he blamed the attacks on the video 6 different times. That was 14 days later Adam......

Keep digging.....he's done I tell you. Done.

I cant stop laughing.....

Seriously yall, Adam is only 13 years old.....let's cut him some slack

Is he that old?? :shock:

Emails were sent from on site personell. Flash Cables were also sent. Flash Cables aren't emails, they're more like IM's that go directly to the regional military control centers, and teh situation room at the White House.

Nothing will convince you. You think it was an innocent mishandling. Fine for you to believe that. But either your way whacked out partisan, or you're simply ignorant to the information that has been released. Because it PROVES that they lied numerous times in the weeks after the attacks. THAT by definition, is a cover up.

You are mistaken. I don't believe it was an "innocent mishandling." I don't have any specific beliefs about the event, or any reason to have them.

That is a load of crap. There are a lot of investigative reporters ourside of Fox News that would have taken this story and run with it if it was true. Reporters make a name for themselves when they break this kind of news. That's how I know it is made up by Fox News.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

What I see if someone who is so desperate to find dirt on Obama that they are willing to believe anything Fox News puts out.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

the only name they could come up with was a Faux "insider". Kinda proves (or at least is a lot more evidecne) we are right.

Beleive anything, and make the rest up.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

You can't cover up an ongoing investigation. The investigation itself has to be the cover up, and it can only materialize in the report.

But Obama tries real hard. How long did it take the FBI to get into what was left of the consulate? A couple of weeks after a CNN reporter was in there and picked up Stevens' diary? CSI Benghazi is never going to win any awards.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

There is an investigation going on.

Its results will be verified by Congress and other third-party organizations, many of whom have no reason to be sympathetic to the Obama Administration.

You mean the President has waived Executive privilege? Must have missed that one.

You mean the President cannot walk out into the Rose Garden and say this is what happened?

You mean if the President is re-elected we are going to have two years of this when the President could have just been honest after 5 weeks?

The already planned resignation of the Secretary of State after the election is not going to fix this.

Who gave the order and why does not take an investigation verified by Congress and other third-party organizations spinning like a top. It takes a name and an explanation. I have a pretty good idea whose name that is and the reason why, but that person has gotten all the benefit of the doubt I can give after 5 weeks of lies and I am pretty certain the GOP House will be giving a lot less benefit of the doubt than I have been giving them. The mainstream media is already on this. It will not go away on Nov. 7--that is when the MSM will be ramping up the lynch mob just to have something to talk about. They waited until after the 2004 election to turn on Bush and the War and they are going to turn on this administration too because they are like sharks when the blood is in the water.
 
Re: Obama Administration Watched Them Die And Denied Their Request For Help

I feel pretty comfortable. Your arguments are killed by the motivations of those involved alone.

Obama has no motivation to do anything you have suggested.

Does that mean you haven't heard that there is an election coming up? An election that will determine whether or not Obama gets to live in public housing for another four years?

You could at least pretend not to be interested in the election, to at least appear to be credible and interested in impartial justice.

The non-partisan story is that Obama was informed at a meeting about what happened and his Administration reported that. Later on, different agencies (who are infighting) made amendments to that story.

Eventually, every report and how everyone in and out of the Administration responded to it will be in a final report that will be evaluated by third parties.

The YouTube video spurred the protests.

Nothing you say or do can change that, and it destroys every argument you have or could possibly make.

Wow! You have to be the last person on earth who believes that fairy tale... :shock:

Any notion that you can't cover up an ongoing investigation has long ago been disproved by this administration. Out of the box the investigation into the voter intimidation case with ACORN at the polling place went away. We are still waiting for thousands of pages of documents relating to F & F. Now the embassy problem.
