In an interview on ABC News, Hillary Clinton told Diane Sawyer the four Benghazi deaths were partly Bush’s fault… even though, you know, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and so in charge of embassy security at the time and Barack Obama was president, not George Bush.
OF COURSE, George Bush must’ve somehow made it totally impossible for them to provide adequate security. Or something.
Re: The image I originally posted with this blog. It is NOT a photo of Chris Stevens. The photo in question appeared on the web in 2009 and 2010, so it cannot be Chris Stevens. Thanks to Mindful Webworker for correcting me.
She went even further with her “NOT MY FAULT” when Sawyer pointed out that Ambassador Chris Stevens had written about “never ending security threats” in his diary. Hillary’s reply? Stevens was in Benghazi “of his own choosing.”
I don’t know why I’m shocked that liberals are playing Blame the Victim. It’s so typical of them.
Hillary blames Stevens for choosing to be in Benghazi on 9/11 [:22]
Hillary Clinton is one of the most despicable people on the planet. Do Democrats care? Nahhhhhhhhh. The Democrat Media Machine is in full “Get Hillary Elected” mode.
MSNBC’s Katty Kay tried this piece of utter b.s. “Chris Stevens, who was the ambassador who was killed who was clearly a brave and honorable man, was also fallible, and perhaps didn’t ask for, rejected even, some of the security that he might have had.”
“PERHAPS didn’t ask for, REJECTED even” … as in, “There is zero evidence for this meme, but if we say it often enough, we can turn it into ‘It was all his fault for being there.'”
(This is a great montage of Gowdy’s Benghazi statements. The last cut is a tear jerker.)
Senior Airman Brian Kolfage is a United States hero. He is a triple-amputee veteran of the War in Iraq who has surpassed all odds and made the most incredible recovery of any veteran to ever survive his injuries. Below is his letter to Obama. It made me cry. My kids served in the Iraq War too. They came home whole in body, but many of their friends did not. I have very jumbled feelings about the idea that all their sacrifice was “wasted.” From an earthly, political point of view, that’s apparently true. But I try to look at the world through God’s view finder, where the point of everything is the salvation of individual souls. From that point of view, no act of kindness of self-sacrifice is ever wasted.
My Open Letter to Obama.
I nearly died in a war that you and most of your colleagues supported overwhelmingly, including the two presidents who came before you. Many citizens may not agree with waging war in Iraq to free the oppressed Iraqi citizens, but it’s something that warriors like myself have zero control over. I joined to serve my country and to better my life. I’ve seen things that you could never imagine, and they have made me the person I am today.
Mr. Obama, even though we share extreme opposite views, we have one thing in common, we both attended school in Hawaii. However, that’s where the similarities end. You see, as you attended your exclusive, private school, I would ride my bike to Kaimuki High school in one of the roughest areas in Hawaii every morning and would ride past Punahou, the exclusive private school you attended. I would notice the Bentleys, Maseratis, and fancy foreign cars that all the kids were dropped off in; wow, it must have been extremely rough in Hawaii living that life, right? I could only imagine what it was like to have that kind of money. Fortunately for you, not many people are aware of the school and the upper class citizens who attended it. The tuition to attend your exclusive private school was more than it cost me to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Arizona. You talk a big game when it comes to financial inequality, yet I’m quite sure you have no idea what it’s truly like to have sacrifice. You were one of the elitist children in Hawaii.
After High School, we each chose very different paths. You were able to attend Ivy League schools, and I sought out a military career to in hopes of earning a degree. What we have in life as children usually sets the tone for what we will face later in life that will make us successful. I worked to get where I am today, and YOU WERE HANDED IT….Mr. Inequality.
I volunteered to go to Iraq on both of my deployments, and the second time I begged to go even after I wasn’t selected, which ultimately got me placed on the team where I would lose both legs and my dominant arm. I’ve never asked myself was losing 3 limbs in a war worth it, even though many Americans were against it.
I am frequently reminded of the many young Iraqi children who would beg me for water, food, and toys while I was stationed in Iraq. Children who in all aspects made the poorest of poor American children look rich. You have no idea what it really means to be poor. It’s laughable that you, who would have no idea what it means to be poor, would so frequently play the inequality card.
While I was in Iraq, our mission was to liberate the Iraqi citizens from a tyrant and that’s what we did. Never forget, it was your people who sent us there, like the Clintons, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi & Carl Levin. However, since the day you busted onto the scene you’ve been talking about ending the war and pulling the troops out, not understanding the blood sweat and tears that so many Americans and Iraqis invested. And with complete disregard for every life sacrificed, every limb lost, and every broken family, you bailed on our mission to pursue an agenda that was completely centered on your re-election in 2012. If you didn’t bail on Iraq you were worried that you may not get re-elected and that’s a fact. Just before elections on Oct 11, 2012 you said “Al Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead.” Look at Iraq now, they are in shambles and the Al Qaeda flag is flying freely. Clearly, you’re unfit for duty as a Commander in Chief. You put your own agenda ahead of America’s agenda, and now you have single handedly ruined and destroyed nearly everything we gained in Iraq. It clearly means nothing to you, because the only thing that you’ve personally invested in that country was a promise to bail on them. However, people like me gave limbs, friends have died, and we’ve watched families destroyed by war’s aftermath.
I’m not placing blame on you for the war, I’m placing blame on you for destroying what we’ve worked so hard to build. You’re not a leader, you’re a community organizer. A leader would have stood up regardless of the situation and put America’s agenda first and that is ensuring a secure Iraq even after 10 years of war. But, you placed Barack first, just as Robert Gates confirmed in his new book. I can’t help but think of those poor kids who I gave water and toys to 11 years ago. They’re probably 15 or 16 years old now, and I can only imagine what it’s like for them to have their nation being torn apart yet again, all because of your poor leadership qualities. Regardless of why we went to Iraq, it’s water under the bridge. We went there, we waged war, and we not only owed it to our KIA’s but we owed it to the citizens of Iraq. We invaded their country and turned it upside down, and you bailed on them. You bailed on our soldiers and you’ve wasted every death and every limb, it’s all for nothing. And to make matters worse you blame others for your failures.
You’re just another elitist rich thug who’s pretended to live the rough life growing up in the inner city. You’re only worried about your own agenda and furthering your party instead of taking care of Americans. Your inability to be a leader at some of the most critical points has caused both of our wars to fail. You’ve been a joke to most of our veteran community and we have no faith in your ability to lead.
Benghazi Hearing: Trey Gowdy — “I don’t give a damn whose careers are ruined”
4:40 Youtube video published May 9, 2014
ITA. Careers? FOUR PEOPLE ARE DEAD. According to the law, anyone who helped someone else commit a felony in which someone died is as guilty of murder as the person who pulled the trigger. Why should we give a damn about the CAREERS of the people who helped bring about the Benghazi attack?! They should all be in PRISON, for crying out loud.
The Left squawked that Reagan and McCain were too old to be POTUS. Hillary is in the Democrat Media Complex’s White House bull pen, so naturally, HER age is no biggie. Just one example from Bob Cesca:
2008: “Senator McCain is showing the signs of being too old for the gig.”
2014: “Yes, Hillary Clinton will turn 69 a matter of a week or so before Election Day 2016. But so what?”
Personally, I don’t care how old she is. I care that she’s … you know … Hillary Clinton.
Feb 24, 2014: Trey Gowdy scorches the David Gregory interview of Susan Rice
Not a scintilla of evidence … stunningly arrogant … Bojangles Drive-Thru … ROFLL … except not funny given the subject, KWIM?
Rice has no regret, bless her little black heart. I remember Carter being asked what his biggest regret was for his entire administration. He said not sending an extra helicopter on that failed rescue. Four years of the (until now) worst presidency in modern history and, with 20-20 hindsight, he can’t think of anything better than that?!
Obama’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, unapologetically and repeatedly lied her ass off about Benghazi. She’s moved on to other Leftist pastures, no doubt as a reward for her loyalty to Teh Won, who has appointed an even more unabashed Leftie extremist to the post.
Meet Samantha Power
Power has praised Obama’s willingness to meet with enemies without preconditions, has said the U.S. should stop giving money to Israel and instead give it to Palestinians and approved of Obama’s apology tour:
“A country has to look back before it can move forward,” she said. “Instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors.”
Outrage ensued.
@AmbassadorPower Reconciliation? With people who cut his head off because he’s Jewish and American? They referred to him as “the Jew”.
@AmbassadorPower How, precisely, does one reconcile with medieval savages who traffic in videotaped decapitation porn?
@AmbassadorPower Maybe Pearl should have been less Jewish in front of those who are offended to the point of murder over such a thing.
Some attempted to explain Power’s remark was out of context. She was really praising Pearl’s parents for how they behaved after their son was murdered. Oh.
BEST TWEET: Demonstrable incompetency on display. Keep digging, you’ll hit bottom eventually.
January 15, 2014: For the first time, Congressional Democrats joined the GOP in condemning the Obama-Clinton State Department for refusing security measures that could have prevented the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi.
The report, worked on for months and released Wednesday by a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee, also says 15 people in Libya who have tried to help the FBI investigate the murders have been killed.
I won’t hold my breath for Shrillary to offer up any “heartache” for the victims of her corrupt? incompetent? decisions as Obama’s Secretary of State. She’s too busy gearing up for “her turn” in the White Hut.
