Why is this news to you? If you don't know this then maybe you should learn a little bit about what happened instead of "blindly" trolling.
Yeah, it's not accurate.
Also, again: I don't troll.

I like to imagine Obama grinning "just as planned" to the guys in the Benghazi compound before everyone died.
This would have been over two years ago if they just told the truth. Obviously, people that like him like him no matter what. He still would have been reelected.
But please don't sit there and tell me that they told the truth after the attack.
Read the emails. They are short. Refresh your memory. Read her quotes about the attack. They are short.
I don't think you will even debate that she lied.

The thing is, after years of inquiry and public statements, they've found no proof of anything. They've verified multiple levels of incompetence and miscommunication, but even the committee members have admitted that there is nothing there. The official reports were corroborated many times over. People died, it sucks, politicians did some polticing, that sucks too.

They found proof of the lies and coverup the week after. There's that. It goes to the crux of the matter.
I won't even go into Monday morning quarterbacking the entire actual event. By most accounts they have taken measures to better protect our people overseas since.
It was the blatant lies they told and the complete distrust they had for the American people afterwards. It was more than some politicking.
The stupid thing is they completely misread the American people. Events like this tend to unite us. Continuing this lie for so many years just makes them look like really bad people to me and the people that knowingly go along with the lie destroy their own credibility. It's just weird. 100% of people know she lied yet her supporters continue the lie knowing everyone knows it's a lie. It makes no sense.

Just an fyi, these questions are rhetorical as I already know the answers. You're not correct.

No it is very relevant for reasons already discussed. It was a blatant attempt at a coverup two months before the election because an attack by a radical Islam terrorist organization flies in the face of the then current state of America that he was running on. And you just don't think it's really bad in general regardless of timing that the White House completely lies about an event so large and tragic? Blaming a youtube video made by an American shifts blame from a terrorist organization and attempts to put it on the intolerance of Americans.

Blaming a youtube video made by an American shifts blame from a terrorist organization and attempts to put it on the intolerance of Americans. I don't really care, it's over, it's in the past, and hopefully it's learned from. Not everything gets a vocal apology if it is even acknowledged as wrong. Expecting that is kinda naive. This is all assuming that things are as you say.
I kinda lost my train of thought here but my point, simply put, is to not expect an apology or even acknowledgement of fault. This tragedy is like a wound that is being kept open for the sake of figuring out what caused the wound in the first place rather than letting it heal. Most sane people are tired of hearing about it and the repetition of Benghazi coverage has turned a great tragedy into a memetic beating of a dead horse by U.S. news outlets and politicians who would rather anger their nation via rubbing salt in it's wounds than lead it.
That's my take on it; the 2012 Benghazi attack was a great tragedy, the Benghazi scandal is is the reason we will never heal. It isn't about who's right or wrong or who caused it, it's about moving forward and learning from it.

well unfortunately that would make sense, & there's no room for that in politics.

I still don't know what you're talking about. The very first official press conference called it a terrorist attack. Details were withheld, which is very common when it comes to national security, and that pisses you off because it fits your agenda.
Continuing to scream about it isn't doing the victims or their families any good, either, and it sure doesn't seem to be hurting Hillary's polls. So, best to find a topic that's actually relevant, since this course hasn't been very productive for the GOP so far.

Off cycle elections always favor Republicans because they show up, but it also followed the pattern of undecided swing and had a large disparity in incumbent affiliation. Analysts were predicting the shift in 2010.

That's just outright logical.

When it swings back the other way it'll be because someone promised lazy people free stuff or something.

We always hear about the "cover up" in regards to Benghazi, but why the same group always clam up when people ask why there wasn't adequate security there in the first place?

Ah, in the end, Aman couldn't actually offer a suggestion over what should have been done differently. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I also see that Hilary testified for 11 hours and yet no new information was gleaned, no new questions were asked, and we still know everything that happened that night. Now the GOP can release the exact same partisan report that the first committee typed up, and hopefully this can be the end of taxpayer dollars going to waste.

In the end Aman went to work.
Let's try this. What they could have done differently was tell the truth after the attack and not blame a youtube video. There's that. My beef has always been with the lies and coverup.

Still 22 more witnesses and a ton of documents the state department has yet to hand over. So 'taint over yet.
She slso testified under oath today about specific emails which the FBI investors may find useful.
Please stop pretending to care about tax dollars being spent.

I went to work as well. I suggest you get over your "beef" because nothing is going to change it and its 3 years obsolete. You haven't actually cited what Hilary lied about, probably because you don't even know what she said, or if she said anything.
Its over, nobody cares what those other witnesses have to say, nobody even knows who they are. They don't know anything that hasn't already been discovered. Just type up the report, blame Hilary, and go home.

This hearing is great publicity for Hillary. This isn't hurting her electibility whatsoever, which is what Republicans want. The hastag #freehillary became popular during the hearing. People are sympathizing with her for having to endure this bullcrap.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
