You mean actual news as they want idiots to hear it instead of televising the actual hearings so people can see for themselves?

Yeah, that's the ticket! And stupid people fall for it.

Of course she didn't. I tend to think that one or two people (Carney?? Hillary??) were asked/told to make a statement and said "Hell no!!!", then it was left to Rice - who probably didn't have a clue as to what was going on. Seeing as how she really had nothing to do with Benghazi, it's possible she actually believed that she was being told to "tell the truth". Find it hard to believe that Obama and Hillary didn't know what Rice was going to say or clear her to make her television appearances.

I do find it interesting that they're having hearings today about a new ambassador for Libya. Wonder who'd be crazy enough to take that job and that candidate better be wondering if the administration is trying to get rid of him/her?

Hey, maybe Rice will be the new Libya sitting duck.
LOL

I couldn't rep you. I have to spread the love around.

Did you really type this? Really?

Let me ask you: would you be pushing this investigation if you believed that those speaking for the government were credible?

I don't think so.


We've heard nothing but "credibility attacks" from the right since the day of the attack.
And yet somehow, the "left" isn't supposed to push back against all of the lies and propaganda, etc.?

It is something of a double-edged sword, isn't it?
Y'all have chosen to hitch your wagon to these people testifying today and yet they are products of the very institutions that y'all believe have lied from the get-go.
What makes them credible now? Hmmm??????

The producer of the video wasn't punished for the video. He was arrested for violating his parole. He had quite a colorful history.

Well I've read some posts when the hearings started back in October 2012 blaming Stevens for his own death. "If he wasn't there it wouldn't have happened." "He knew the risks." Blah blah blah.

There was no personal attack, I guess you just take everything personal when it doesn't suit you. That's your problem.

You know what is childish - or maybe ignorant? When someone ASSumes that someone is somethiing that they are not and has to use name calling to do it. When someone thinks a debate is when others agree with them. When someone thinks they are using logic, when its nothing but babble.

This is old news.

"The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to officials briefed on the intelligence. Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said."

You mean like trying to find out who was responsible for releasing Valerie Plame's name or who fired some federal prosecuters?
