And it's been proven that the lie about the viral video was pushed by the WH and State Dept. That's a fact. The first emails from intelligence had nothing about this viral video. Not until State pushed it.

Cheney pushed the WMD narrative. Thats a fact. Also I am complaining about Faux News because they are full of it.

Sorry to burst your fox news bubble. Nobody who thinks this is a 'scandal' was ever going to be anywhere near a swing voter anyways, so it's politically irrelevant. If anything, the GOP is being harmed by wasting so much ammunition and mindspace on this.

Did you read the link I posted about the attack myths?

This is a good expose on Benghzi. http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2013...azi/#/?chapt=0
Since this new email came out, I would have to see what Trey Gowdy will turn up. He has stated, and he has been a very successful Prosecutor, “I have evidence that not only are they hiding it, there’s an intent to hide it. I can’t disclose that evidence yet, but I have evidence there was a systematic, intentional decision to withhold certain documents from Congress.”

As to the WMD, it was a confusing issue. I saw a scientist from Iraq interviewed, during the time that Colin Powell was going over the aerial videos, saying that he knew that trucks took the WMD to Syria, but you NEVER heard from him again after that day. That is very suspicious. I wish I would have written down his name to see where he disappeared to.

I watched the live broadcast of Colin Powell waving the photos which US "intelligence" took, showing the trucks with the suspected WMDs and the alleged sites of Iraq's scud missles. I remember not only the US "intelligence" work, but the British and other countries as well. It was not just the US, W and Cheney pushing the narrative. Other countries and intelligence agencies were in it as well.

I believed Bush was right to bomb Iraq. I do not agree with the decision to invade and overthrow Hussein. IMO, it was a personal vendetta to settle a score with Hussein for trying to kill W's father. That, and money. Many people gained a ton of money due to the war in Iraq.

Intelligence reports and people on the ground said the attackers were using the video as the reason for the attack.

Like I said, its a waste of GOP time to spend any effort on this. Dont come here complaining about them not winning anything in 2014 and 2016.

Again, emails have shown the first reports from intelligence DID NOT mention or include ANYTHING about a viral video. That did not happen until AFTER the State Dept pushed that lie.

People died, including the first US Ambassador in over three decades. That's a waste of time to you? That the President's WH was actively trying to cover up a massive failure? That's nothing but a waste of time? You sound like Hillary Clinton.

I would agree that the Republicans shouldn't use this as a campaign issue. obamacare gives them plenty of ammo for the midterms and Presidential campaigns.

Re: House Select Committee on Benghazi

Distribution List of ‘Smoking Gun’ Benghazi Email Included Muslim Brotherhood AGENT

The ‘smoking gun’ email that reveals who instructed Susan Rice to blame the Benghazi attack on a video also exposes a recipient named Mehdi K. Alhassani. Alhassani was the leader of the Muslim Student Association (MSA), a Muslim Brotherhood front group and attended the sister mosque of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) mosque attended by the Boston Marathon bombers.

Re: House Select Committee on Benghazi

Since when do we put all of our cards on table for all to see when we're attacked?

What if Rice's remarks were a strategic calculation to attempt to gain the upper hand on terrorists who might be tempted to think they were able to get away with this and, in their smugness, get sloppy and then get caught?


The GOP is digging into Benghazi for purely political reasons and it is embarassing and sad for this Republican to see this. I am not the only Republican criticizing this move and there are other military men who have also joined in the chorus of criticism that is growing louder and louder.

I hope none of the Democrats on "the Hill" participate with Gowdy's committee.

I hope the Administration provides Gowdy's group everything it asks for while ignoring their very existence.

Which Muslim Student Association of which educational institution?

When was Alhassani the leader of this student organization?

Why would a college organization or a community organization of college students be involved in this at all?

Isn't "sister mosque" is a thinly veiled attempt to establish guilt by association?

Isn't "sister mosque" purposefully inflammatory anyway, given it is a male-dominated religion?

Shoebat?
