Guess what 60 Minutes decided to do last night? (Answer: Benghazi)

Witnesses have been under tremendous pressure not to talk, for starters, something else which CNN reminded us of.

Just because you’re not getting the answers you want doesn’t mean there’s a cover-up.

Any response to the rest of my post; is your silence on events during the Bush administration evidence of your own partisanship?

OK. For starters, the Bush Administration fought against even having an investigation for over a year. Then Bush appointed Henry Kissinger to head it, which would be like Obama appointing Al Sharpton. After public ridicule forced Kissinger to decline, the hearings finally got started nearly 18 months after the attack, and the administration witnesses, like Condoleezza Rice, lied their asses off.

Is that the comparison you had in mind?

I remember Tonkin Bay, the phantom North Vietnamese torpedo boats that attacked us. Bought it hook, line and sinker, totally believed it, even as suspicious as I was with Johnson being such liberal wussy peacenik. He was standing up for America!

Don’t recall anybody in my vicinity saying “WTF? Why the fuck would they do that, pick a fight with somebody who *will *kick their ass? When they are already winning, who needs?”

What a long strange trip its been.

You have not even come close to proving that Susan Rice was deliberately telling falsehoods. Not only that, but you have pointedly ignored the fact that during the exact same statements you decry, Rice qualified them with things like “the investigation was ongoing, this information may change, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions”, etc. The “parts of the administration we’re legitimately uncertain at that point” explanation is far, far more reasonable than “they deliberately lied (while adding qualifiers like Rice did)”.

How have they failed to cooperate? Where is the coverup? There’s nothing there.

Cite? And is this all you got?

Boy, conservatives have gotten really fucking stupid about military and defensive force practices in the real world.

Oh yeah? What about Umbrellagate? Pretty slick how you guys just swept that one under the carpet!

Any day now the details will come out, showing explicitly that Obama had full knowledge of and was directly responsible for that one. The only thing preventing the lid from being blown off is everyone’s under tremendous pressure not to talk. :frowning:

But you just wait…

Umbrellagate was just a preemptive false flag operation to distract the sheeple from sissyMarineHatGate. Look beneath the surface here people!

Of course he was responsible. As the Messiah he can control the weather.

Then where the fuck is the smiting? He can wither a fig tree, but not Tom Cruz?

I’d rather he wither Ted Cruz.

Well, heck, I’d rather have the gurgling melty thing like what happened to the Nazis in that documentary. That there is some serious, down-home smiting!

Okay, you need a citation for this, but if this was the case, do you really think it’s that unreasonable or sinister? Obviously, it’s better if our enemies think we don’t know it was them behind any given attack where they try to conceal their involvement, no? It’s better to not play our hand, isn’t it?

Well, might be better not to show our hand, true, but we haven’t much choice about playing it. It was dealt, and folding isn’t an option.

(I’m guessing brainfart, here.)

How about the fact that no one who was actually at the compound has been allowed to talk to Congress?

Cite is the 60 minutes video, where they say, “witnesses have been under pressure not to talk”.

Now obviously there could be good reasons for keeping witnesses from talking to 60 Minutes, but there’s no excuse for keeping them from talking to Congress.

What’s their source? Does this just mean “witnesses haven’t talked to Congress, so Congress is assuming the President is influencing them”?

It looks like CNN and others were wrong- Benghazi survivors have already talked to Congress, and more meetings are planned.

I think the first comment on that story sums it up: ‘CNN’s headline should have been “Benghazi survivors have yet to testify in a manner that satisfies the GOP witch hunters.”’

I think we’ve encountered viral wrongness here - not only is adaher wrong about everything but any source he cites (or at least any source that actually says what he claims it says) can safely be assumed to be wrong too.
