Fine. Call your congressman and tell him to put off the committee until after the elections. Then I'll be convinced that this isn't political.
If you don't want an investigation to affect an election you probably shouldn't corrupt Democrats who create scandals right before critical midterm elections.
All of that is aimed at the GOP's "investigations", not the four who died. Those dead are being used by the GOP to do their grandstanding in order to please their low info base.
Glad to straighten that out for you.
Carry on.
And these investigations are being aimed at the lies and corruption found within the Obama administration, not the four who died. Not a single person on either side of this has made fun of or is trying to make money off of the 4 men who died that night but both sides would love to make it seem that way about their opponents. Wake up.
It seems the real motivation behind the never ending investigations has been revealed. It's not about the truth, it's about money and votes. I think trying to make money on dead Americans is pretty low.
Gowdy is trying to put a stop to it, but is it too late?
"Here's What You Need To Know About Trey Gowdy & The House GOP's Select Committee on Benghazi."......"Help fight liberals by donating today."
I wonder what your ThinkProgress would have to say about Dems using the faux "war on women" or Sandy Hook tragedy to fundraise... surely that is all justified and admirable to them.
Seeing that Obama didn't actually kill four Americans, I don't see what the issue is, do you think Bush killed 4,000 Americans? Why are these four more important to you? Also, why do the Republicans choose to parade these four dead Americans around for political gain?
The more knowledgeable you are, the more facts you gather, the more likely you are to being a republican.
You have a very long way to go, because you obviously have no knowledge or facts.
The cynicism comes when one recalls an even greater tragedy that occurred on Oct. 23, 1983, when the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, were bombed during Ronald Reagan's administration. In the latest New Yorker, Jane Mayer writes about having been in Beirut as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal at the time of the horrible bombing, when 241 American military personnel, including 220 Marines, were killed in the largest single-day loss of Marines since Iwo Jima in World War II. Although Democrats controlled the House and Tip O'Neill was speaker, there was little partisan grandstanding over the tragedy, even though mistakes were made. As Mayer notes, a gate was left open, and the personnel on guard were under orders to keep their weapons unloaded. Congress conducted a matter-of-fact, brief investigation, recommendations were made, and everyone moved on. Scoring political points was not the name of the game, even though the loss of American lives was more than 50 times greater than in Benghazi. It was a different era.
I wonder, will the grandstanders demand that President Obama testify?
And if they do, will he only agree
a) as long as it is done in private
b) that he doesn't have to do so under oath, and
c) that the Vice President can come along to hold his hand?
That's exactly what Bush (and Cheney) demanded - and got - when they reluctantly agreed to talk (not testify - remember, they refused to swear) to the 09/11 Commission.
Of course, the answer is no - the current President would never do anything so absurd.
