Rand Paul: Benghazi Was the "Worst Tragedy Since 9/11"

[Ksandra]

The point is there was inadequate security at MANY embassy attacks over the past decade (especially at the Benghazi and Saudi Arabia attacks) but Benghazi is the only one where you see Republicans in hysterics saying completely retarded shit like "worst thing since 9/11."

I honestly think all of this is because of their fear of how high Clinton's approval rating is and the rumors she's gonna run for president.

w/e I'm at my in-laws they've got fox news on 90% of the time, and they've always got analysts on asking "will Hilary run?!" And them trying to assure fox viewers she isn't a threat.

I hope Hillary does run and I hope she runs against that embarrassment of a Latino repub douchebag who drank forty glasses of water in two minutes in response to the state of the union address.

I would love to see her win hardcore to drive the point home that the Republicans need a change of heart, not a change of strategy. This applies to ALL politicians.

I disagree, I think Republicans in general need to go as a party. The growing social liberalism that is sweeping the country, ney, the world will be more than they can handle without breaking their necks turning an about face on all their social issues in order to attract new voters.

I'd def vote Hilary '16, if just to vote for a women. I'd like to see these political barriers broken in my lifetime, glad I was here for Obama's 2008 election for that matter. After Hilary, I would fully endorse a gay president as well, as neither being man, woman, or sexual orientation, has any bearing on ones ability to lead, despite what the growing minority in this country would say.

Kinda funny that "atheist president" is going to be the last barrier broken, almost for certain.

Openly atheist, you mean.

Hey, if Benghazi is Obama's 9/11, I think he's doing pretty fucking well.

3,000+ dead in an attack on U.S. soil targeting multiple major cities and the headquarters of the most powerful military in the history of man...

4 dead in an attack on a consulate where the American dignitaries were the only "outsiders" with the balls to even still be in town...

Yeah, I think we're doing pretty well in limiting the threat if this is the worst they can do.

How many american civilians has al-qaeda killed since 9/11 in terror plots?

[Plow]

pretty similar amounts to on 9/11, mostly in Afghanistan and Iraq

[test123]

al-qaeda, not taliban or Iraqi insurgents.

[Plow]

even if you're dumb enough to not realize who the most successful attacks in iraq and afghanistan are by, at this point you pretty much have to realize that those wars and all of the death involved were the direct goal of 9/11 in the first place, and bin ladin is directly responsible for them

LOL @ the Benghazi Bombshell. Some redacted paperwork! Time for Michael Moore to make a new movie yall.
