May 16, 2014
By Allen Clifton
Ive often said that anyone who was heavily involved in pushing for the United States to invade Iraq really should just shut their mouths when it comes to their opinions on what any other administration might say or do as it relates to international relations and national security. Being that the Iraq War is quite possibly one of the biggest embarrassments in United States history (seriously, we couldnt find one WMD?), these experts from the Bush administration (Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld) really just need to slither off into obscurity. Unfortunately they think their opinions matter, thanks in large part to Fox News and other right-wing media giving credence to them. The latest clown from the Bush administration circus to offer their insight on something related to our national security is none other than Condoleezza Rice. You see, she seems to think that there are unanswered questions about Benghazi that need to be answered.
Rice said in an interview with Ozy.com, I think there are unanswered questions and they could be easily answered. But I think they need to be answered.
Excuse me? Someone from the Bush administration wants answers about four deaths in Benghazi? Wow. Ignoring the fact that weve already had several investigations which have clearly stated that the deaths in Benghazi were tied to institutional failures at every level from the White House, to Congress and even the embassy in Benghazi itself it takes real gall for someone who worked for an administration responsible for over 4,400 American deaths in Iraq (not to mention 13 embassy attacks which resulted in dozens of deaths) to want more answers about four deaths in Libya. Its just amazing to me how the total incompetence that led to the Iraq, and the horrific handling of nearly every aspect of the war in the subsequent years, is mostly ignored by all of these Republicans who want to act appalled by what happened in Benghazi. Honestly, its disgusting.

was a disaster. I mean they grabbed more power than even they dreamed of following that attack on America.
They even ignored warnings.

(58,440 posts)16. Well, it all goes back to the PNAC...
and their need for a "Pearl Harbor-like event" to really enact their plans.
You're right, they grabbed untold wealth and power out of it.

Fox News' Eric Bolling: 'I Don't Remember' Any Terrorist Attacks On America During President Bush's Term (VIDEO)
Fox News host Eric Bolling pulled a Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday, asserting that there were no terrorist attacks on "American soil" during President Bush's term in office.
"America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008," he said. "I don't remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time." Nobody on the panel challenged this comment.
