big GOP masturbatory thread over Hillary's testimony today

[Razgovory]

You know, if Congress was so concerned about safety, they could have voted to fund additional security that the State Department asked for.

You made it to Talking Point #3.  Congrats!

[Razgovory]

Why does there have to be negligence involved in this particular terrorist attack?

EDITED TO AVOID SILLY ARGUMENTS.

Seems pretty obvious to me.  Ambassador Stevens had expressed concerns about security prior to the attacks.  He had requested additional security.  He ended up getting hit on the 10th anniversary of 9/11/02 (when I would think you'd beef up security by default) and had just two guys to protect him at the time.  Seems like there was negligence somewhere on someone's part.

Well if it seems obvious to you, I suppose that you are the one negligent.  You didn't warn the correct authorities.

You forget your meds today?

No, it wasn't obvious to anyone else at the time, how come it was obvious to you at the time?  You keep overstepping yourself on this.

No, I just watched the hearings.  Got an answer for that one slick?  Or my previous questions for you?  What did Rand Paul and John McCain prove that made you so happy?

Stop it with that childish crap.  Of course it wasn't obvious to me prior to the attack-- I'm not employed by the DoS.  But it was obvious to Ambassador Stevens that security was lacking.  And in retrospect it should be obvious to all of us that the ball was dropped somewhere. 

Your unquestioning devotion to this administration is really troubling.  I sure as shit wouldn't be pretending nothing happened if this had occurred during a GOP administration-- goes without saying that you wouldn't either.

Prove?  When did I say they proved something?

Okay, then what was the point?

What kind of security would have been sufficient?  Is that man suppose to travel around with a private army?  Your swallowing of any criticism of this administration is troubling. But like you said, it's like the 1990's.  I suppose anything said against a Democratic President is okay.  No conspiracy theory too grand.

What about when the high up UN official was killed in Iraq back in 2003?  Were you demanding hearings on why the US couldn't protect UN staff in a country that it was supposed to be running?  Or did you pretend nothing had happened and forgot about it?

[Ed Anger]

This thread made me sterile.

[Razgovory]

Well something needed to.  You keep at it, and you'll have enough kids to populate a major metropolitan area.

[derspiess]

Okay, then what was the point?

Paul said he'd have removed her from her post, which was nice.  And McCain just flat out ripped her.  And she got in a little tirade of her own.  It was all great political theater, which is what these things usually are.

Okay, so they decided to have a big hearing about the deaths four Americans so you can be entertained?   I suspected as much, but thanks for answering that.

In a place as volatile as Libya and on a 9/11 anniversary, yeah pretty much.

I don't go along with all criticism, actually.  And like with the Clinton administration I'd love to find some things upon which I could agree with Obama.

But like you said, it's like the 1990's.  I suppose anything said against a Democratic President is okay.  No conspiracy theory too grand.

Like the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?    I don't think there was a conspiracy with this Benghazi thing, just negligence and ineptitude.

What about when the high up UN official was killed in Iraq back in 2003?  Were you demanding hearings on why the US couldn't protect UN staff in a country that it was supposed to be running?  Or did you pretend nothing had happened and forgot about it?

  Is that all you could come up with?

Oh, now the fact that 4 people died is a big deal to you.  Up until now you were acting like nothing happened.  We're making progress
