Benghazi Bombshell

Republicon chickenhawks are sooooo lame. Bwaaa ha ha ha ha...

"...in the report House Republicans concede that the stand down cover-up theory is entirely without basis..."

"While the GOP lawmakers said that commanders could have pushed harder to position forces to respond to threats in North Africa in general and Libya in particular, they concluded that no U.S. military assets could have arrived in Benghazi in time to affect the outcome of the attack, according to committee staff members who briefed reporters on the report...."

energy consumed by this topic, because they know it's leading nowhere, and yet their rabid teabagger constituents won't let it go. Maybe this will end it. But then I'm surprised BIRTH CERTIFICATE lasted as long as it did.

Not one ding-dang positive thing at all. So I expect them to keep ranting about the negative, meaningless, deceitful stuff for some time to come. Republicons have lots of goodies for 1% Fat Kats & Korporate Kronies -- but doodley-squat for the citizens of these United States.

One hopes that the people the Republicons, Inc. have SUCKERED so badly for so many years will finally wake up and smell the Screw Job they are getting.

They'll hit back with, "Libs blame George Bush for everything!" Yes, actually, we do. Because at the end of Clinton's presidency, this country had a balanced budget, peace, prosperity and we would have even paid off most of the national debt in a decade if we'd kept to the Clinton budget. At the end of Bush's presidency, we were refried shit.
