Me vs Two Teahadists on Facebook, regarding Benghazi

Steve Thorneabout an hour ago via BlackBerry · ..
The CIA Ops asked for Help ! They were Denied! THREE TIMES ! How many of you BO supporters would vote for him if it was your son they left behind and did not TRY and save ! if this makes you angry , please like and share this. What if it was your family, men and women put their lives on the line and We Should Send them All they Need to Do what they went to do! So we can bring them HOME alive! - 2 people like this..

oh my word, my newsfeed is filled with all these political updates... isn't it past your bedtime already?

Jamie Snyder
maybe the had wmd's

Steven Leser The CIA gave more warnings than that to Bush and his national sec team about 9/11. Clinton and the transition team warned the Bush team to not take their eyes off the ball re: Al Qaeda. And as we all know over 2500 Americans died in downtown NYC.

Now, 4 Americans died in what they knew was a dangerous assignment and NOW republicans feel the need to hold someone responsible?

That's an interesting bit of hypocrisy there. Like · 3..

Jennifer Burch
^ True story!!

Jennifer Burch
As military and govt employees go to these certain places they know the threat level and they know that it's going to be dangerous. That's why we get paid all this extra money while in these places!

Jamie Snyder
just like when that chopper went down during an assignment in kosovo and republicans were saying clinton was guilty of murdering 7 people!

Jennifer Burch
We as a country have more important things to worry about. This is the problem people just want to blame each other instead of moving on and finding a solution!

Jennifer Burch
Steve Thorne you have to stop watching all these political shows that feed your brain full of crap!

Jamie Snyder
just like if 7 people starts talking to someone who isnt even there, their called crazy. but if 2500 people do it, its suddenly religion

Jamie Snyder
that would be fox news...

Steve Thorne
Stephen, Please no one is comparing Bush to Obama. No one in the World Towers Called for Help and were denied help! The President and all of America were there to do what they could on 911. My statement applies to Supporting our military as they Fight for us. The terrorists on 911 killed themselves in that plane, in Benghazi they killed our people and celebrated it.

Jamie Snyder
Dude you really believe that, dont ya

Steve Thorne
For years the America people had 3 primary sources for news ,CBS, ABC and NBC. Jen you were a baby then! The slant was Primarily biased by Liberals, this is common knowledge. Thank God for the internet, and for Fox News and other shows who show the Conservative position, and the Independent views. News can be garbage, I limit my msnbc so I am good!

Steve, Condi Rice admitted in a hearing on 9/11 that she received three separate warnings including one that specifically said Al Qaeda intended to use airplanes as weapons. The head of the CIA warned her so many times that he annoyed her and she had him thrown out of her office. 2500 people died. You know what? We Democrats almost universally said, OK, you know what, in terms of warning and intelligence, no one can predict for sure what is going to happen, its possible to make mistakes, lets put country first and not go about attacking Bush for his 9/11 failures.

Steven Leser
Apparently we should not have put country first, because you Republicans never do.

Matt Steiner
Steven Lesser, what's your point for t his incident? Before 911 no person knew who to react to a sti

Steven Leser
My point, you mean like criticizing a President for an attack by bad people on Americans is inappropriate? Like that kind of point? Like criticizing Roosevelt for Pearl Harbor instead of blaming the Japanese? Like criticizing Reagan for the Beirut bombing instead of criticizing the terrorists?

Matt Steiner
Story, just sent.... Anyway there was no protocol for dealing with something of that magnitude let alone forecasting WHEN this so called (911) so you have no point and really isn't relative o this situation. Fact is someone from the White House had to have ,are the decision either way. It was noon in DC...everyone was up and very aware as to what was going on.

Steven Leser
No forcasting? There was nine months of warnings. Al Qaeda had attacked the US Cole and bombed the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among various other acts.

Matt Steiner
Made ...not ,are

Matt Steiner
"You republicans never do." Wow....intriguing commentary

Steven Leser
Commentary backed up by your words in this thread. Backed up by the original post by Steve Thorne. Backed up by Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, etc.

Steven Leser
Let me know if you want more examples.

Matt Steiner
Why cant leftists ever stay on the topic at hand. Deflect deflect deflect....hilarious

Steven Leser
I know, its so different right? The reaction to a terrorist attack versus the reaction to a terrorist attack. Why would I bring up such different things to analyze.

Matt Steiner Yup exactly...its 2012.

Steven Leser
You guys arent known for learning the lessons of history. You are doing a good job here of showing why.

Matt Steiner
Now, really comparing the situation apples to apples...Mayor Guiliani responded as best as anyone could have during 911...and Bush did too. Not sure exactly the time but I believe w/in 2 month we were already in Afghanastan. So, in 2001 the US reacted appropriately and decidedly.

Steven Leser
Right, Giuliani and Bush's actions on 9/11 saved people from the terrorists unlike... oh wait, no they didnt.

Matt Steiner
You guys you guys you guys....really, man? That's all you got? I know my US and world history better than most so......your point ...again?

Steven Leser
I have a coherent point and an analogy that works. That's two things more than you've got.

Matt Steiner
Sure they did. Name 1, on US soil terrorist attack during Bushs years? Yeah...they get an A +

Steven Leser
You mean, besides 9/11?

Matt Steiner
And your supposed to know history???? Wow

Matt Steiner
And you're supposed to know history???? Wow

Steven Leser
Are you now disputing that 9/11 happened?

I haven't had to do ANY surreptitious listening to Rightwing Wacknut radio in a week and a half since that is ALL they are talking about, 24/7. Flip from one talkshow to another and it's the same show.

Amazing that these are people from the same party that balked at the 911 investigation, that outed Valerie Plame, that ignored the 2001 memo; "Bin Laden determined to strike US"

They really are mentally ill. They can lock onto a position against Obama and just obsess for weeks about it. Very sad.

It's all they got and it's BS, bless their hearts.

The e-mails are a smoking gun that Obama knew it was terrorists - except that he said it was terrorists immediately. They say the attacks lasted for 7 hours, yet the emails are two hours apart and say that the attack ended?
But then, I had someone tell me how powerful it was during the second debate when Romney caught Obama lying about Benghazi and exposed Crowley as a Liberal shill for the administration.

such a tizzy. I have gone back and forth with a friend I've had for 55 years, who unexplainably has lost his mind and is a completely different person lately.
