2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)This Benghazi story smells and I am highly suspious of it. Almost like it was set up. [View all]
I remember the day after the attack and Romney was out so quick to attack the President before even the CIA or the State Department could investigate what happened. The talking points about the President not saying it was an an act of terror (when he said it) and today the newest talking points going around reich wing world debating the semantics of using terror or terrorism (as if there is a big difference).
Today I heard on Randi Rhodes a woman saying McCain was in Libya last year and was at Benghazi. If the security was so bad why didn't he speak up when he came back and raise his concerns about the security there? So I decided to do a little research and came up with is "gem"
"John McCain is dying to help Mitt Romney. But is his advice wanted? Howard Kurtz reports exclusively on the 2008 nominees failed efforts to counsel Romney, his frustration at a behind-the-scenes role in the campaignand his damning faint praise for Romneys foreign-policy instincts."
"For the moment, McCain is something of a caged lion, circling his circumscribed world, using vacation breaks to jet off to foreign-policy hotspots. Early this month, McCain was in Tripoli, where he watched 200,000 flag-waving people pour into the streets to cheer Libyas first democratic election in four decades. Many approached him, some wearing T-shirts bearing pictures of slain relatives, to thank him for his push for U.S. airstrikes against Muammar Gaddafis regime. John likes a good fight, says his Senate pal Joe Lieberman. He likes being in the arena.

What else was McCain doing in Libya to help Romney?
I am not an investigative reporter but some smart person could really make a reporting cred for themselves if they are able to connect the dots.
All these fake scandals trying to tear down this President instead of trying to get the economy going, jobs, helping the poor and our vets makes me sick and disgusted with the republican party to the point that I think they are the real enemies of America not Al Quaida.
