BillSmith such hate from a "christian"? YOU don't want to know the truth, YOU refuse to see the truth because YOU and the rest of your bunch don't want to face facts your President isn't a god tho he thinks he is. Panetta, Hillary and Obama WILL NEVER KNOW if the 4 DEAD AMERICANS could have been saved BECAUSE THEY NEVER TRIED TO SAVE THEM. The truth will come to light, what ever is done in darkness will be brought to the light. There are alot of questions you should be asking but you stick your head in the sand and ignore, ignore, ignore. You accept what your Tryannt-in-Chief and his minions say without ever questioning.
Fact remains OBAMA wasn't involved with rescuing the 4 DEAD AMERICANS!

So Cliff what you are saying is the Republicans forked tongue is worse that the Democrats? You are a wonderful illustration of the hypocrisy in both parties; I got really sick of the whole my way or the highway mentality of Bush. Now that Obama is doing the same thing the Democrats are loving it while impugning the Republicans. I respect your opinions on global warming since you seem to be level headed on that subject, but this whole us vs. them mentality that our country has turned into is deplorable. It is the reason we cannot get anything done in DC. I am guessing 5% of the country actually wants compromise while 95% is content with doing nothing. This is why I constantly make fun of the process, much like my previous post in this thread. I think we have leaders in boh parties now who give ZERO ZERO ZERO consideration to what is best for our country. They only want to be re-elected and will grease any palm, take any money from any lobbyist, and say whatever they have to say to get 2 or 4 more years.

Actually I agree with you. But if Obama is a bad President, it doesn't mean that Bush was a good President, or that the Republican Party has the interest of the 99% as their number one priority. . That is why I so violently disagree with the Official Republican Party line.
I have even written that Obama should be Impeached. But that doesn't make Bush or the Republican Party even one iota better, the GOP still has as their number one priority to get Obama out of office, and that position supersedes doing anything that would help the average American Citizen. In fact I believe that the stance the Republican Party has taken is to prolong the misery that they brought about and propagandize that Obama is the cause of it all.

I believe that this last election proved that the majority of American voters have become savvy to that Republican mindset. That was why the Republicans got their buxts kicked in this last election.

What the Republican Party needs to do is work with the Liberal Democrats to improve the economy. That is the first thing to do to get out of any Recession and reduce deficits. Unemployed people do not pay tax, they actually put a drain on United States Revenue flow. Less employed people means less taxes collected, and that adds to the deficit. In the last ten years we have spent $3 Trillion on needless wars. Three Trillion is 3,000 Billion. You might remember that Bush and Bunch didn't make possible the payment of the wars, they kicked it down the road . If you will think back you might remember the cost of the Iraqi war was going to be $84 Billion. Compare that to 3,000 Billion. Eighty four billion is somewhat less than 1/3 of 1% of their estimated cost when they started this war against a Country that had done nothing to us and was not a threat to whatsoever. Hussein even agreed to go into exile to avoid an invasion of Iraq but the offer was withdrawn after he accepted it. Bush and his boys wanted a war because for the few there's mucho money to be made. The rest of us have to suffer and die so that those fat cats can get richer.
I think that sums up the Republican Party.
I have advocated for a Viable Ethical Moral Third Party for sometime, but the Tea Party, spell that Republican cousin Koch Party, is definitely not the answer.

And Bill that is just part of the story. Go read back and research and you will find that the American troops were there to protect civilians against the invading Israeli Army. You might recall that the IDF was indiscriminately firing artillery into Beirut civilian areas. The French started supporting the IDF and after that the French Embassy was bombed.
Then the U S started supporting the IDF and sure enough the U S Embassy was bombed.
By the way, this was when and why Hezbollah was formed - to push the IDF out of Lebanon.

Cliff I want moderation, but unfortunately neither party wants to head towards the middle. The problem is both parties hate candidates who compromise and make dang sure they funnel all of their money to the far right/left candidate who will not compromise and make sure the compromise candidate nevers make it past the primary. They would both rather have a yes man lose a general election than have a compromise win it. The days of the Sam Nunn, Birch Bayh, etc are gone. We cannot elect a centrist anymore; however people like Bill Smith thinks the Republican party is going away yet they hold right at 2/3 of the governorships. Bill is part of a huge problem in the US; every time they think they have complete control they get kicked in the gonads. The biggest problems in our country always happen when one party has control of all 3 branches. I hope I never see it again in my lifetime, and I doubt I do based on the disgusting arrogance and hypocrisy on both sides.

The way CliffCarson sees it:

The unnecessary wars have cost more than $3 Trillion so far
That's about 18.2 % of the current National Debt
The removal of money in the Social Security and Medicare Funds
taken and spent for things not SS or Medicare is about $5.8 Trillion
That's about 35.2 % of the current National Debt
Money not collected because of unemployed workers about $92 Billion Yr
That's about 1 % of the current National Debt per year since 2008
the figure is about 5%
Summing these three figures we get about 58.4% of the National debt.

1. Stop unnecessary wars
2. Stop taking from the SS and Medicare funds
3. Create jobs
These three actions could become a strong force toward decreasing the debt and eliminating running deficits.
But the most important thing is that Congress has to work together and approach the problem in a manner that will improve the lot of the 99%.
This morning on C-Span was a guest who is one of the World's most wealthy persons. His father started the Company in 1980 in India with $100 dollars. Their business plan was to produce goods and create jobs that would improve the people of India, its Social Fabric, and distribute a major portion of the profits thru the employees. His father thought that if the employees had a stake in the company profits , they would make themselves wealthy along with their boss. Over 1000 of his employees have become millionaires. Can you see an American Corporation doing that?

The Sabra and Shatila massacre was the slaughter of between 762 and 3,500 civilians, mostly Palestinian and Lebanese Shia, by a Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon from approximately 6:00 pm 16 September to 8:00 am 18 September 1982.[3]
The massacre was presented as retaliation for the assassination of newly elected Lebanese president Bachir Gemayel, the leader of the Lebanese Kataeb Party. It was wrongly assumed that Palestinian militants had carried out the assassination, which is now generally attributed to native, pro-Syrian militants.

Information from Mr. Murad's confession formed a basis for an analysis prepared for United States intelligence agencies in 1999. The analysis warned that bin Laden terrorists could hijack a jet and fly it into government buildings like the Pentagon."
.

"The Phoenix memorandum, along with the disclosure this week [May 18, 2002] that President Bush was warned in August of the possibility that Al Qaeda might be planning hijackings, have been seized on by lawmakers as evidence that the government missed signals of the coming attacks."

Boy oh boy.....what a bunch! All of you, aimee, RonalFos, BS, CC, Reason....how in God's name can all of you give reference to George Bush's negetive actions (and yes Bush was a joke as President at times and he did make mistakes and can any of you name the president that didn't?) to justify Obamas actions as president? All of you can look the other way and ignore what all has happened BUT....can anyone of you say, with an honest straight face, that the Obama administration hasn't, at times, not always, but too often, lied and covered up far more than was really required? Again, let me say, "one of you show the rest of us which president was ALWAYS honest and truthful with the American people"! Which president didn't cause some suffering on the part of the American people while he was in office or at the least carry over into the next administration?
Democrats or Republicans.....what in hell does it matter? Hillary Clinton spoke for most all politicians when she made a similar statement.
Americans need to be REALISTS and face facts! In politics, regardless of who is supposed to be in charge or be "top dog", it's still every man or woman for themselves and who can get the most financial or power gain! It is not about making life for the American people better! It never has been and never will be!
Now having said what is REAL......why do all of you want to make it sound like Obama and his administration aren't covering up and lying to the world about Benghazi? They, like all other administration before them, F_ _ _ _ _ Up and can't just admit their mistakes, in a HONEST WAY to the American people, and accept our forgiveness (as if we have any choice) and go on to doing whatever it is they do!

Harley

We need to impeach Obama. We should have impeached Bush.
Bush lied to start a war that is still going on. He is responsible for well over a million innocent dead. No telling how many have been harmed to the point of ruining their life forever.

Obama could have ended what Bush started but he didn't.
The 99% people of America do not have ethical and moral governance, and actually neither do the 1% but that doesn't matter to them because they are benefactors of the criminality of what we still call our Democracy. But lets face it. We no longer live in a Country governed by a Constitution.
George started it with his "War against Terror". This is a war that was never designed to end. It gives the Government more juice to push you and me deeper into subjugation.

Bush started the NDAA and Obama kept it alive.

This abusive law completely removes a citizen from the Rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Within this law the president is given the right to do anything to you or me at his whim. All he has to do is claim he suspects you of something. He does not have to give you a trial whatsoever, certainly not a trial by your peers . That is gone. You can just be disappeared. Keep in mind that this is the power given to the President to use against an American citizen, living in the USA. If you think I am wrong, get a copy of the Act and read it.
So Harley, what is to do? Your and my problem is we defend one criminal against another. While we still have the vote we need to use it. I have over the years suggested that the only way to get the Government under the control of the people is to get rid of either the Democrat Party or the Republican Party and tell the surviving Party, "You have one chance to straighten up, otherwise you're next.
Harley, which Party should the people shun at the Ballot Box first?

amiee...You think Benghazi and the dead Americans is a whim of a question and Obama shouldn't have to address it? You are lower than puke on the floor! You need to have a family member of yours, maybe a child or grandchild, go into harms way for this country and get their asses killed! Then let me be the first to say, "What difference does it make?"
You think the problems of immigration reform, gun control and the environment are more important than 4 American lives and that the president shouldn't have to answer questions about it? You should tell that to the dead ones families! You are a scum of a person!

CliffCarson.....I don't disagree with you on the two party system ever working to the good of the American people. I agree that it should be one party. To answer you question as to which party has to go....BOTH of them! There needs to be a new political party called the American Peoples Party. It would be made up with the same structure as the current one but a new citizens department would be added and all politicians terms would be year to year and this would include the president. There would be elections every year but with NO fan fare or celebrations. There would be strict rules on the amount of campaign money that could be spent. Corporate involvement would be very limited. The rich couldn't buy their way into any office. Every politician would perform for the good of ALL American people or at the end of the year it would be those politicians that were unemployed!
Maybe a bit crazy but couldn't be much worse than the two party system we have now.

While there was questions asked, there was never this level political gamesmanship over it. People have accepted responsibility, people have resigned from the State Department.

He resumed his training at the Pan Am International Flight Academy in Eagan, Minnesota, starting on August 13. He had none of the usual qualifications for flight training on Pan Am's Boeing 747 flight simulators. He said he did not intend to become a commercial pilot but wanted the training as an "ego boosting thing." Moussaoui stood out because, with little knowledge of flying, he wanted to learn how to "take off and land" a Boeing 747."

You need to get a grip. It is one thing to disagree, it is entirely something different to always be calling people -stupid. As to the difference about Bengazi vs Unnecessary Wars, or if you prefer Obama vs Bush, I think I can shed some light on that.

What Obama has done is claim he was unawares of the reason behind the Bengazi attack. I don't see that as anything impossible. One thing for sure he didn't plan the attack and it was not up to him to rush people there to save the four Americans. By the time he knew about it, it was over and four Americans died at the hands of the enemy. Four Americans died.

On the other hand, Bush knew he was lying about the need to go to war, and he turned down the very opportunity to avoid it. He and the Republican Party Conservative crowd propagandized up the need for war all the while knowing it was all a lie.
Bush invaded Iraq because he fancied himself the cowboy superman. Over 5,000 Americans died , over a million Iraqis died.
There is a difference, a difference akin to the difference between night and day. Maybe through your hate you are blinded to that fact. But you don't have to call everyone stupid that disagrees with you. Can you try to do better?

Billy Boy....you are the idiot and a fool! I watched the hearings you dirt bag. Panetta talked to Obama and informed him just after the first attack and way, like 5-8 hours, before the last attack. After telling him about the attack, Obama never attempted to check back with Panetta to see how bad things were. Panetta admitted it was 11/2 hours away befor our planes could have been there. Although he didn't think the planes were what they needed. So I guess he felt they didn't need anything and let them die! He didn't attempt anything and could have had fighter planes there in 11/2 hours and that would have been before the second attack happened and the two soldiers were still alive at that time!
Now, you idiot, where did I say there were marines there or anywhere else?
What is it that you can't understand about it not being where they were killed, embassy or consulate, ( and thats the best you got fool) but the fact that the Obama administration is as stupid as you and did nothing to even try and help.
amiee...did you see any of the hearing? He did know about the attack and later tried to say it was about a video! He is a liar.
CliffCarson....you are the one that needs to get a grip...on the truth. Obama did not say that he was unaware of the reasons for the attack. Show where he said that. Also you must not have watched the hearings either! You say Obama didn't know about the attack until it was over. Then why did Panetta testify that he, personally, informed Obama shortly after the first attack and never heard anything again from him until it was way over? He also testified that he knew at that time it was a terrorist attack and that is what he told Obama. Cliff...get a grip on what you are saying that is not truthful.
You, like amiee, and probably billy boy, still want to use that.....well Bush did this and Bush did that and Bush wasn't honest.....why do you think anything Bush did wrong makes it ok for Obama to do the same wrongs? You tell me, with that sort of thinking, which is not only stupid thinking but extremely childish, WHEN DOES IT STOP AND WILL IT BE OK FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO DO THE SAME AS BUSH AND OBAMA JUST BECAUSE THEY DID?

Reason says... February 13, 2013 at 7:11 a.m.

By our best estimate, the incident at the Temporary Mission Facility in Benghazi began at 3:42 p.m. eastern daylight time on September 11th. The Embassy in Tripoli was notified of the attacks almost immediately and within 17 minutes of the initial reports – at 3:59 p.m. – AFRICOM directed that an unarmed, unmanned, surveillance aircraft that was nearby to reposition overhead the Benghazi facility.
Soon after the initial reports about the attack on Benghazi, General Dempsey and I met with President Obama and he ordered all available DoD assets to respond to the attack in Libya and to protect U.S. personnel and interests in the region. It is important to remember that in addition to responding to the situation in Benghazi, we were also concerned about potential threats to U.S. personnel in Tunis, Tripoli, Cairo, Sana’a, and elsewhere that could potentially require a military response.
In consultation with Chairman Dempsey and AFRICOM Commander General Ham, I directed several specific actions:
 A Marine Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) platoon, stationed in Spain to prepare to deploy to Benghazi;
 A Second FAST platoon to prepare to deploy to the Embassy in Tripoli;  A special operations force, which was training in Central Europe, to prepare to deploy to
an intermediate staging base in Southern Europe; and  A special operations force based in the United States to deploy to an intermediate staging
base in Southern Europe.
Some have asked why other types of armed aircraft were not dispatched to Benghazi. The reason is because armed UAVs, AC-130 gunships, or fixed-wing fighters with the associated tanking, armaments, targeting and support capabilities were not in the vicinity of Libya and because of the distance, would have taken at least 9 to 12 hours if not more to deploy. This was, pure and simple, a problem of distance and time.
The quickest response option available was the Tripoli-based security team. Within hours, this six-person team, including two U.S. military personnel, chartered a private airplane and deployed to Benghazi. Within 15 minutes of arriving at the Annex facility, they came under attack by mortar and rocket propelled grenades. Members of this team, along with others at the Annex facility, provided emergency medical assistance and supported the evacuation of all personnel. Only 12 hours after the attacks began, all remaining U.S. government personnel had been safely evacuated from Benghazi.

Hey Aimee... Obama LIED in front of MILLIONS of people when he address the UN on SEPT. 2012 and apologized for the video that was supposed to have caused the attacks.
"That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. Now, I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.

It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well -- for as the city outside these walls makes clear, we are a country that has welcomed people of every race and every faith. We are home to Muslims who worship across our country. We not only respect the freedom of religion, we have laws that protect individuals from being harmed because of how they look or what they believe. We understand why people take offense to this video because millions of our citizens are among them.

I know there are some who ask why we don’t just ban such a video.

OBAMA knew the from the get go there was NO Flash mob, the drone overhead showed that. He knew the video had nothing to do with the attacks but it didn't stop him and his puppets from repeating it.

T6
You and I copied from the same speech text. Since we both copied from the same source, our post should have been the same. If a reader compares what I posted and what you posted, there is very little different, but that difference is important.
I began my copying by posting the sentences of the speech before Obama mentioned the word "Video" so that the reader would know what Obama was saying prior to where you started and I continued to copy verbatim past where you began to copy, and I also continued copying past where you ended. So what I copied included everything that you copied and posted, plus some.
T6, the word verbatim means "exactly as spoken or written". I did this to establish the context of what he was saying, This is something you failed to do. You also removed the word "and" from his speech that connects what he was saying prior to where you started and with his concluding words -what he says about the video.
What I copied verbatim includes ... " And that is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, where a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world"..... ,
and here is what you posted from the same speech: "That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world."....
Notice you left out the word "and" and you changed the word "where" to "as"
So what you did was not exactly as spoken, and your choice of where to begin isolates the words spoken from their context. When you copied, you had to edit your copy to make those subtle differences.
Having pointed these differences out, minor as they are, the important thing is nothing in your or my posting, or in the entirety of the speech, claims that the Benghazi raid happened because of the Video.
So your claim that Obama lied to millions in that speech is totally wrong. Your problem T6 is that you let your imagination run away with facts, leading you to make spurious claims, and when you can't prove what you have claimed by examining the record, you begin to denigrate the people who see a difference in what you present as facts and what the record shows.
This is what make people not only liars , but an obnoxious noise within a polite difference of opinion. When the facts are against you, you become very insulting. But you are not alone. That human frailty is the most visible difference between Republicans and Democrats on this site.

So , just for you, I watched and listened to the Video, also available at the speech site.
Do I have to tell you that the words "and" and "where" are there, spoken in the Video?
So once again I copied from the transcript of the speech (I did capitalize the words (and & where) so you could see them better.
President Obama’s 2012 address to U.N. General Assembly (Full text)
"AND that is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, WHERE a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage".......

T6

If it is beyond your comprehension why I went to the Video, then any conversation with you is worthless. I think I knew that already. But I chased after what you had written simply to give you a chance to prove that you didn't lie about it.

I probably shouldn't have taken the time to check out several links to see if you had picked up a source different from the source I copied from.

When I found different versions of the "official" text I pointed that out to you. And explained why I went to the video as a referee.

But you are so full of it that the rationale went right by you.

You T5 are a little short and a waste of time.

More about the Bush impeachment movement here. Polls showed at least 2/5 of Americans favored this effort in the years 2005-7, but mainstream press did not cover it.
