‘Obama No More Responsible
for Benghazi Than Bush Was
for 9/11,’ Dem Says

Urging his fellow lawmakers not to let Thursday’s hearing on Benghazi to “devolve into a political spectacle,” Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said President Obama isn’t responsible for the terror attack on the U.S. consulate and CIA annex. “You know Barack Obama was no more responsible for what happened in Benghazi than George Bush was for September 11th or than Ronald Reagan was with the blowing up of the U.S. Marines in Beirut.” Engel, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee noted that the election is over -- and

Comments:
No! Please make it stop! You absolutely knew the Democrats would turn this into a political hack job and a three ring circus. I pray that Petraeus does the right thing and tells the truth to save this country and show some shred of dignity he may have left.

W did not implement a conspiracy to coverup what actually happened and send them all out to lie to the people. W never personally destroyed anyone, deservedly or otherwise.

If he was not resonsible, why did he spend so much time covering it up?

Obama is never responsible. For anything. Which is sad for our country. I wish he would just go away somewhere.

For the past 12 years dems have been saying Bushg was responsible for 9-11. What changed?

Well, Israeli Intelligence and Egyptian Military Intellgence both notified the US that something was in the works in Libya for 9-11.

The Brits moved their people. State and TOTUS did nothing.

Respondsibility is in Obama´s lap.

Bush wasn´t responsible for 9/11. Clinton was.

Clintonite Jamie Gorelick, who built the firewall between the CIA and FBI, and who subsequently BTW became filthy rich off insider info from Fannie/Freddie, was in great part reponsible for 9/11.

I don´t recall people in the WTC asking for increased security from airliners, before they crashed. President Bush responded immediately after the attack by grounding all aircraft and giving the order to shoot down any that would not land.

Also, President Bush did not go off to a fund raiser and campaign event the next morning!

Only a warped mind would try to equate the two events.

So that makes Clinton responsible for 9-11. He gave us the Cole and before that Kenya and Tanzania..Now you have the rest of the story..Clinton the wasted presidency..he was given the peace dividend ( the Wall was taken down, the cold war over, Saddem was kicked out of Kiawait and put in a box that he then manipulated the oil for food and violated no fly zone shooting at US and British Air planes etc) and he gave us 9/11, Enron the Tech bubble, Healthsouth, Tyco and the recession to name a few..Oh yea how about the seeds of the subprime mortgages..and this guy is idiolized, Really!

No, pinhead, he´s not responsible for the attack. He´s responsible for abandoning 30 people to die because it was politically inconvenient to save them. That is the nature of the human scum you have chosen as a leader.

Here is agreat big free tip for mr. Engle, start listening to RT (Russian international news). They are very upset at someone, someone who is running military grade weapons to the Syrian rebels. The Russians are are being very vocal in the UN about the criminal nature of this someone, and the Chinese are backing the Russians. The Libyan president is falling all over himself telling any press he can find that Libyans had nothing to do with this hit on Stevens. The Persians are looking a lot like cats with a mouth full of feathers.

You can´t serve two masters. The kgb owned your mother, grandparents and your mentor, but you have to pay your student loans to Saudi princes who dream of an Islamic superpower. Do you suppose someone got tired of that flexibility excuse? How´s that for a teachable moment.

“Responsibility is a unique idea. It can only reside and inhere in a single individual. You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you. You may disclaim it, but you cannot divest yourself of it. Even if you do not recognize it or recognize its presence, you cannot escape it. If responsibility is rightfully ours, no evasion or ignorance, or passing the blame can shift the burden on someone else.”
Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover 15 June 1961

My Benghazi assumption: Obama sanctioned a kidnapping of the Ambassador, so he could trade the blind sheik for him... which is why all were told to stand down. KGBers got wind of it & used the opportunity to shut down the arms operation at the annex, where Libyan arms were being smuggled to Egyptian radicals. Period. Now those arms are showing up in Hamas´ hands.

The role of some of the Democrats is to make sure nothing comes of the investigation on Benghazi. There are some Democrats that want the truth, no matter what.

Israeli Intelligence and Egyptian Military Intellgence both notified the US that something was in the works in Libya for 9-11. Libya is a relatively small country and Americans at the time were in a limited number of locations.

In 2001, being told al-Qaeda was planning something big told us nothing. Somehow Bush was supposed to know what that meant and guard against it. Eliot Engel knows that. He is merely another Obama obstructionist.

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad.

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
