White House to give senators
Benghazi documents

Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/23/2013 12:01:17 AM

WASHINGTON — A congressional aide says the White House has agreed to give the Senate Intelligence Committee documents related to the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans had demanded the documents as a condition of voting on the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director. The congressional aide says the documents include emails between top national security officials showing the debate within the administration over how to describe the attack and other documents the committee had been asking for. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity

Do those documents include transcription and/are videos of statements and interviews of the US personelle who were actually there and have been secreted since?

Anyone who thinks the documents supplied will be full, complete, unedited and/or unaltered was born yesterday.

This is just a tool to allow the Republicans to back off while "saving face". And under Boehner, they probably will.

They will provide a ton of meaningless irrelevant material, then when the committee demands the real, relevant documents, the WH will scream, "We´ve given you 10,000 pages of material. Stop harassing us!" They have done exactly this maneuver before.

Their PhotoShop program must be worn out by now. You can be certain that any documents handed over by the WH will be either heavily redacted, forged, altered or created from whole cloth, but none will be authentic and none will cast any negative light on this POTUS, his Admninistration or Hillary.

As usual, somebody else will take the fall for POTUS´ utter anti-American ideology and practices.

In my imaginary world, the Republicans get the documents, complete and unaltered, upon their threat to delay Brennan confirmation.

And then - here´s the perfect part - they reject him anyway.

When you have no honor, and Obama and his motley crew have none, anything they do to advance their agenda is justified. The danger to the country comes when the media supports their agenda and will do anything to protect whatever they do. The media has no curiosity about the deaths of these four Americans. However, we all know they would be crucifying a Republican administration that withheld one document in their quest for truth and accountability. Whatever this administration provides it will not be detrimental to Obama and the media will not pressure them to provide anything further. As we have been told by Mrs. Clinton, after all, at this point, what difference does it make!

I don´t know, I think this may be something. The track record would argue otherwise, I agree, but Obama *was* getting away with stonewalling, and slowly, somehow, he isn´t anymore.

Playing tricks with the documents is risky because it appears the Republicans do in fact have other sources for many of them, so they would know if one was actually altered. Faking documents would come out, and eventually be reported even by the kneepad MSM. Redaction is more likely. Also, slowly but surely the different testimonies have boxed in their maneuvering room to lie. Again, not that the public is paying much attenion, but a fair number of Senators seem pretty determined to stay at this -- perhaps on the quaint notion that the United States ought to defend its people, not literally sacrifice them to politics.

Also, again slowly but surely, the MSM is starting to turn on Obama -- not all at once, not everyone, but important people, and unmistakably. [Woodward calling out Obama and Lew as liars is huge. He could have kept his mouth shut, or could have covered for them. He did neither.] We easily forget that Watergate didn´t break overnight, and for quite a while it was considered a nothingburger by the MSM.

So it may yet amount to something. Obama would not agree to turn over anything unless he had to, and since he was winning the stonewall/battle against Republican obstructionism, one could surmise the Republicans have finally wounded him enough that he has to throw some more people under the bus. The new document dump may do it.

It´d be great if Obama threw Hillary under the bus here. Once Obama speaks the MSM will follow his talking points to the letter. Hillary´s response wouldn´t amount to a hill of beans, so to speak, then.

I´d love to agree with #26, but the supposition is that the Republicans would use other-sourced documents to expose the lies. I seriously doubt they will.

They´ll make some noise to give the GOPer apologists a reason to cheer, "The Republicans are conservative enough," but will eventually allow a confirmation vote on Brennan. It will be a replay of McCain on Hagel, "He´s not qualified but I´ll vote to confirm anyway."

I sure wish the Republicans were an opposition party that upheld the values they claim to represent (limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets), however it becomes clearer every day that the GOP is only the “right wing” of the Progressive Party. Otherwise they would keep asking the important question, “Who gave the order to stand down?”

Hillary isn´t the only one running for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. So is Joe Biden, and, would anyone be surprised if he encouraged the White House to make as many Benghazi documents available as possible, particularly the ones that put Hillary in a bad light?

It must be frustrating for Joe to realize that Hillary will soon be going on a four-year $200,000-a-speech tour, which will in effect be a fund-raising tour for her 2016 presidential campaign -- while he himself will be bogged down in Washington.

Does anyone think Joe will be above doing a little anti-Hillary mischief from the White House as the 2016 presidential sweepstakes unfolds, which the current White House Benghazi document dump may be a particularly interesting precursor of?


Reply 31 - Posted by: peterfleming, 2/23/2013 8:48:26 PM     (No. 9192917)

Who do you imagine knows the most about Benghazi? How many know the inside openly traitorous, death scandal of recent times? Hillary, Joe, Obie, Mooch, Valerie, their many commie comrades, Congress and their monster staffs, the mafia media starting with Diane Sawyer, George whatzisname, Brian Williams, Pelley, Rove, Geraldo, endless faceless CIA, 800,000 Pentagon invisibles? Maybe even Joe´s Jesuit world intelligence network? And the massive cover-up seems to be slowly uncovering. Finally a death, four deaths, that may not be covered up. Time for one or more of those above to blow the whistle, tell the truth, risk their life. So much State driven brutality. They all are the worst they have ever been in our history, all of them, the best, keeping their mouths shut in fear.

WASHINGTON— Virgin America did the best job for its customers among leading U.S. airlines last year, a report said Monday, as carriers overall had their second best performance in the more than the two decades since researchers began measuring quality of service. The report ranked the 14 largest U.S. airlines based on on-time arrivals, mishandled bags, consumer complaints and passengers who bought tickets but were turned away because flights were over booked.(Snip) United Airlines, whose consumer complaint rate nearly doubled last year, had the worst performance.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Writing in the blog The Review, J.P. Freire performs a devastating examination of how the Associated Press eulogized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday versus how the news service examined the legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez upon his death. What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Even as Congress prepares to debate whether to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and give them a path to citizenship, analysts are cautioning lawmakers to focus on the other part of immigration: assimilating them fully into America. All sides in the debate agree that assimilation is critical, but in a report being released Monday, the Hudson Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, says the country has failed on that account in recent years. They found that immigrants — even those who earn U.S. citizenship — have far less attachment to their new home than native-born Americans.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.
