You're just defending the indefensible and repeating propaganda, that's all.

So whether I expect them to have known on "that day what caused the attack" is irrelevant. They DID KNOW and LIED about it.
You read the senate report?

Like I said in previous posts. Gen Ham was one source...not the only source of information and not the definitive source.

If you haven't figured that out yet...that is on you.

So you are saying Presidents Bush and Obama have been at this for 12 years and we still cant beat these people ?

that was me trolling a little, but to answer your question, no one redefined the word, but you seem to be operating under the assumption the other poster was talking about, which is that you are taking the Presidents comment as an absolute when it obviously wasnt one.

Retreating doesn't mean you can't still instigate an attack. We don't live in simple black and white world. So no one has redefined anything, you guys just are assuming there is no gray in the world.

Yes, it was silly, wasn't it. We should know by now that none of his statements are absolutes. He never says what he means, and when we take what he says as absolute, he turns around and tells us he is "sorry" we misunderstood.

We don't "misunderstand", Mr. President. We are misled.

They redefine any term where Obama distorts the truth.

This is what he said, but this is what he really meant.

If you fail to see the difference in what bush said and what obama said....then there is no help for the left...



Read the entire speech here:

President George Bush's Address to the Nation in Light of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11

Go ahead...spin it like the left loves too....
How do you know he was speaking about that specific event? Did he say these World Trade towers specifically and named the terrorists that committed that terrorist attack including the names of the hijackers and the types of planes they hijacked? That is basically what you guys are doing with Obama and Benghazi.

A person with common sense would be able to figure out what Obama was talking about without having him to spell out in great detail what he is talking about.

Geeze people..get a clue.
It was a covert operation gone bad.
Now it was a covert operation gone bad? Please expand on this conspiracy theory, I would love to hear more.

We did not see anything about a youtube video, no trash talking, or anything of the like...

Did you read the speech? He was very clear about those planes being used....as acts of terror....there was no gray area....which obama left....bush was very direct....

Of course, unless you can find where thousands of people died that same day or the day before by planes....then you have failed at this discussion....

The facts are that Hillary fell asleep at the switch during that 3am call and was instructed by Barack NOT to reinforce the embassy in Bengazi because it would prove their claims that that he was winning the "war on terror" was a lie. Ambassador Stevens and over 40 employees were left to die.

This is EXACTLY like the scene in the Tom Clancy movie "Clear and Present Danger" when the troops were left to die in the jungle to cover for a polititians private drug war.
Really?

The Senate has found nothing remotely truthful about what you stated:

"An addendum to a scathing report from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Benghazi signed by six of seven Republicans on the committee singles out Dempsey for “failures in leadership.” Specifically, the six Republicans fault Dempsey for failing to have a plan to respond to an attack on Benghazi given the ample intelligence showing the desire of terrorists to attack Americans there, and for allowing General Carter Ham, who was the combatant commander for Africa Command, to not know the CIA maintained an annex in Benghazi near the U.S. temporary mission."

And by the way:

"“The Committee has reviewed the allegations that U.S. personnel, including in the [intelligence community] or [Department of Defense], prevented the mounting of any military relief effort during the attacks, but the Committee has not found any of these allegations to be substantiated,” the report said."
