It started with Benghazi. When you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression. #Ukraine

He made a similar reference earlier in the day to the 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate that left four Americans dead.

Putin basically came to the conclusion after
Benghazi, Syria, Egypt - everything Obama has
been engaged in - he's a weak indecisive leader.

1. It's unpatriotic to question the president in a time of war.

Why does he hate America?

[sibelian]

2. Oh, for heaven's sake, that only applies to PROPER presidents.

Not the silly people elected by those silly liberals and their pretend politics that we all have to treat as if it's actually a part of the political process.

[B Calm]

3. I think Obama should send Graham and McCain both over

to Ukraine and let these two no good fucking war mongers go to war with Russia.

[bigdarryl]

11. Or they both can live happily with one another

If you know what I mean

[pampango]

4. Finally, someone who can tie all of these loose ends and seemingly unrelated events together.

I thought it was so complicated with one side thinking this and the other thinking that. But it's all really just Benghazi.

Thanks Lindsey. If this guy is not president some day, he should at least be the Secretary of State. He cuts through all the complexity and just tells it like it ain't. That will keep foreign ministers from other countries wondering what we are thinking - or if he has a brain.

5. Benghazi. It's what's for dinner.

6. Benghazi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Yup, my watch still works!

Thanks Lindsey, I was starting to worry, since there was no BENGHAZI!!!!argle, bargle. Now for my second hand will you mention the IRS scandal? I mean that IS the trifecta of time keeping.

(There are some names that are hard to get right)

[AgingAmerican]

8. Jaywalking is because of Benghazi

So are serial murders and unpaid bills.

[H2O Man]

9. Fucking gross.

I had hoped -- from your OP's title -- that this was a joke. Unreal.

Recommended. Thank you for posting this.

13. This guy should be shamed by everyone

Such political hate speech is uncalled for.

[3catwoman3]

14. I think Lindsey should take...

...his very own precious AK-47 over there and deal with this personally. He would be very intimidating, don't you think?

15. ..and lindsey, darlin'…you started with Out of Africa woman 160,000 y.o.…..so.

17. Bless his heart.

[Beacool]

16. Who did he blame when the Russians invaded Georgia in 2008?

Or does blaming the president only apply if that president is a Democrat and his SOS is a potential presidential candidate in 2016?

[tularetom]

23. Who did he blame when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[BeyondGeography]

26. Forget it, he's rolling

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 because of Benghazi....

The Dust Bowl was caused by Benghazi.
The "X Files" movie sucked because of Benghazi.

I could go on, and because I'm a sniveling asswipe, I will....

The reason not every rhombus is a square? Benghazi.
Lincoln's assassination was directed caused by Benghazi.
"American Hustle" getting shut out at the Oscar's? Benghazi.
The 1969 Mets? It's complicated, but it's Benghazi.

[BlueStater]

19. "weak", "indecisive"

Nothing would be funnier than watching Miss Lindsey try to act tough against Putin. Pootie would have a hard time not pissing himself from laughter upon hear that wimp's girly voice.

20. Lindghazey!!!

[joeybee12]

21. Where's the alien and sedition acts when you need them? nt

[C_U_L8R]

22. Why do they even bother

Every time these GOP dopes raise the Benghazi flag,
they look like total ass-clowns.

[Avalux]

24. Benghazi!!1! is showcased in Cornyn's TV ad here in Texas.

Where when it pops up on local channels (and it does a lot), I find myself telling him off using not so nice language.

And don't forget the main deciding factor for Putin - Obama wears mom jeans!

[malaise]

25. Graham is desperate
