Well ya, those previous incidents did bother me … though maybe not quite as much as Pearl Harbor and the assignation of Abe Lincoln, but how is that relevant? I disagree that the flap over the Benghazi is primarily political, any more than the Watergate fiasco was primarily political. <br /><br />Ah, me, my old friend never disappoints. He really doesn’t understand the relevance. Dear friend, in each of those cases the United States was attacked by terrorists. In several of them the administration’s response was at least as lacking as your criticism of the Obama administration’s response. Fairness is, I freely admit, unlikely but some effort should be made. <br />Morthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216972050112626988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189530924198240172.post-74837095623951718832013-02-04T11:14:19.159-08:002013-02-04T11:14:19.159-08:00This is, of course, much to do about nothing. But ...This is, of course, much to do about nothing. But it shows the blatant hypocrisy of the wingnuts. GW Bush was warned many times about the fact that Al Qaeda was determined to attack INSIDE the US. This was, in fact, the title of the daily briefing given to Bush, at his ranch, from the CIA, on Aug. 6. FBI agents who tried to tell AG John Ashcroft that Al Qaeda agents were learning to fly planes without wanting to know how to land were told to never bring any more crap like that to him, he was sick of hearing it. Cheney was supposed to have meetings on the warnings that Richard Clark was giving them (with his "hair on fire") and Cheney never had ONE meeting on terrorism. Condoleeza rice, then head of the NSA, thought the daily briefing was a "historical" document. And W himself sat there like a bump on a log for what seemed like forever when he was told we were under attack. Any Republican who has the balls to bitch about Benghazi, which was NOTHING in comparison to 9-11, should be smacked upside the head for such willful ignorance and blatant partisanship.Scott Supakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529312586679833360noreply@blogger.com
