From the LVRJ: When it comes to congressional leadership, history will never mistake Harry Reid for Robert Byrd. That would be like going from the ridiculous to the sublime at the speed of light.
Now comes a new chapter in the embarrassing annals of Harry Reid: the Benghazi cover-up. By abetting this scandal, Senate Majority “Leader” Reid takes his already lousy legacy to an agonizingly new low.
In an affront to American fair-mindedness past and present, he says the discovery of an Obama administration email is nothing to worry about. Move along. No further questions need be asked of the September 2012 al-Qaida assault on an American diplomatic mission in Libya.
Shame on him. This email shows that before the bodies of those four slain Americans were cold, President Barack Obama’s people were creating a fog to obfuscate what happened that night in Benghazi.
Consider this: Nearly two years later, we still don’t know where President Obama was during the crisis. We also don’t know why he jetted to Las Vegas the next morning, looking rested and relaxed, for a meaningless campaign rally. That lack of transparency and deflection has continued up to today.
The quintessential Team Obama nose-thumbing attitude on Benghazi came last week from former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, who was asked about the infamous talking points memo in the aftermath of the terrorist attack.
“Did you change ‘attacks’ to ‘demonstrations’ in the talking points?” Bret Baier of Fox News asked Vietor.
“Maybe, I don’t remember. Dude, that was like two years ago.”
And, dude, who can forget Hillary Clinton’s double-talk before Congress:
“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information.” http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/sherman-frederick/reid-fails-provide-honest-check-benghazi
I don't understand why the Democrats don't want to investigate what really happened in Benghazi.
And why they don't want to know what the Obama knew and when they knew it.
If this were a Republican, like say, George W. Bush, the would have ried to impreach tehem by now.
The people playing politics with the death of 4 Americans, including an Ambassador, are the Democrats.
But the Democrats will follow Obama everywhere, including jumping off a steep cliff just so Obama doesn;t loo bad, even if the democrats will lose big time in the next election.
They are like the do do bird from Ice Age:
We MUST Have an Enemy!

That George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were not impeached over 9/11, the Iraq War, torture, tec., it's doubtful they'd be impeached over Benghazi.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that Democrats were against an investigation. It's BEEN investigated and beaten to death. What it is now, is a witch hunt.
